Methodological Approach for Particle Transport: Analyzing Influential Factors and Comparing Simulation Software

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
This study determines the dust filtration behavior of venting tubes in automotive headlights. Numerical simulations using Meshfree and STAR‐CCM+ and suitable experiments were conducted to analyze the airflow field, the particle transport, and the filtration efficiency.

CFD Modeling in the Petrochemical and Chemical Industry (Plenary talk)

open access: yes, 2019
It has been a misconception that CFD of commercial fluidized and circulating fluidized beds is only in its infancy. Indeed, codes and computers are fast enough to now simulate large-scale unit operations in a reasonable amount of time (i.e., weeks ...

Global and Detailed Calculation of Tube Wall Temperature in a Process Furnace Steam Superheater

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
This study presents a comparison between an iterative global model and multiple approaches to a new non‐iterative model with the purpose of predicting tube wall temperature of a superheater. The results show that the non‐iterative method achieves sufficient accuracy while improving the prediction of local temperature distribution and better ...

Transient thermal modelling of green anode cooling in the aluminium industry

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Summary of the methodology. Abstract Anodes, which are used in electrolytic aluminium production, are made by mixing dry aggregate (petroleum coke, rejected anodes, and butts) with coal tar pitch, compacting the resulting paste (green anode), and baking (baked anode). After compaction, the anodes are cooled to maintain their structural integrity before

Revisiting the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from methanol and carbon dioxide

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The process for producing dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from carbon dioxide (CO2) and methanol is explored in this article. It provides an overview of the thermodynamics involved in DMC synthesis, discussing the challenges and potential solutions. The article highlights the reported use of catalysts and dehydrating agents to improve DMC yield and ...

Comparison of modelling approaches for liquid fluidized beds

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a comparison of three promising numerical models for the detailed simulation of liquid–solid fluidized bed. These models differ in their treatment of the solid phase, ranging from treating each particle individually to treating the collection of particles as a continuum.

Comparative assessment of volume‐of‐fluid (VOF) multiphase solvers for viscoplastic flow over grooved patterned surfaces

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurately simulating multiphase flows at low capillary numbers remains challenging due to spurious currents and interface discretization errors. We present a systematic comparison of four volume‐of‐fluid (VOF) solvers within the OpenFOAM framework for pressure‐driven Poiseuille–Bingham flow over grooved surfaces: interFoam with classical ...

Application of dynamic modelling and model‐based predictive control to enhance a cooling tower

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Model predictive control (MPC) applied to improve the operation of cooling towers. Abstract Model predictive control (MPC) differs from traditional feedback control by making predictions within a time horizon, providing better control actions for the process.
