A multi-scale model for oxygen carrier selection and reactor design applied to packed bed chemical looping combustion
(SINTEF Proceedings;1, Chapter, 2015)Proper selection of a catalyst shape (or a particle shape) can improve the performance of a gas-solid packed bed reactor. The particle shape affects the packing structure and the transport phenomena within the packed bed. ... -
A multifluid‐PBE model for a slurry bubble column with bubble size dependent velocity, weight fractions and temperature
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)With kinetic gas theory as a starting point, equations of change for total mass, species mass, momentum and inner energy are developed for the dispersed gaseous phase and implemented to describe the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis ... -
A multi‐domain 1D particle‐reactor model for packed bed reactor applications
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)A validated multi-domain 1D particle-reactor model has been developed to simulate packed bed reactor operation. Two main components of the model are: (1) a particle model for simulating the radial distribution of chemical ... -
A numerical approach to model aggregate restructuring in shear flow using DEM in Lattice‐Boltzmann simulations
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)Aggregate shape and structure significantly impact rheological properties of fluids in many fields such as extractive metallurgy, oil field drilling and mineral processing. The morphology of the aggregates determines the ... -
A numerical evaluation of the effect of the electro‐magnetic force on bubble flow in aluminium smelting process
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper aims to investigate the effect of electromagnetic forces on bubble flow under an anode using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method to capture the gas-liquid interface. ... -
A six chemical species CFD model of alumina reduction in a Hall-Héroult cell
(SINTEF Proceedings;1, Chapter, 2015)The industrial process for producing primary aluminium metal is the reduction of powdered alumina in a Hall-Héroult reduction cell. These cells operate at temperatures above 940 °C with a highly corrosive electrolyte making ... -
A Two‐Fluid model study of hydrogen production via water gas shift in fluidized bed membrane reactors
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter, 2017)Fluidized bed membrane reactors have been proposed as a promising reactor concept for the production of ultra-pure hydrogen via Water Gas Shift (WGS). High-flux thin-film dense palladium-based membranes are used to selectively ... -
Adaptive coarse‐graining for large‐scale DEM simulations
(SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)The large time and length scales and, not least, the vast number of particles involved in industrial-scale simulations inflate the computational costs of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) excessively. Coarse grain models ... -
