Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is the workhorse of modern crude oil refinery. Its regenerator
plays a critical role in optimizing the overall profitability by efficiently restoring the catalyst …

Deep understanding of the complex relationship between the complex hydrodynamics and
reactor performance in a reactive gas-fluidized bed is crucial to optimization of engineering …

In the present work, a preliminary CFD analysis of a novel design of particle receiver for CSP
applications was performed. The particle receiver is a new lab-scale prototype consisting in …

The performance of a bubbling fluidized bed largely depends on the dynamics of solids.
Therefore, it is very important to predict the bubble size and shape for modelling the degree …

Jetting fluidized beds are widely used in industries for mixing of granular materials. The
mixing efficiency is affected significantly by the number of jets and their locations. In this …

Gas–solid bubbling fluidized beds are widely used in chemical, energy, construction, and
other industrial fields due to their excellent fluidization performance. 2D-fluidized beds with …

Gas bubble distribution is considered one of the most critical factors affecting the Industrial
Fluid Coking™ process since it influences the formation of wet agglomerates that causes …

The effects of internals and gas distributors on the local dynamics of the bubbles in the
conventional gas–solid fluidized bed were studied. Mesh-type internals with different …

This is a hydrodynamics study on gas distribution during fluidization of the industrially
relevant Geldart A type particles. The impact of 10 different distributor designs comprising …

We introduce the concepts of 'multi-level-nozzle'and 'continuous oscillatory tapered'fluidized
beds to enhance contact efficiency and promote mixing between the gas and particle …
