The rapid devolatilization of biomass in chemical looping combustion could form a local
plume of volatiles, reducing contact between volatiles and oxygen carriers and thus lowering …

The non-uniformity of solid particle distribution in a circulating fluidized bed riser is an
important problem for this type of reactor, since it leads to a poor system mixing and low …

Numerical results for a gas-fluidized bed using a 2D Eulerian model including the kinetic
theory for the particulate phase were provided. The circulation patterns for various operating …

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) continue to garner significant research attention as promising

Bubbling fluidized bed is extensively used in petrochemical and other process industries.
The performance of the bubbling fluidized bed can be improved through the placement of …

The hydrodynamics of a two-dimensional conical spouted bed was studied using an
Eulerian− Eulerian two-fluid model (TFM) incorporating the kinetic theory of granular flows …

Ultrasonic waves were applied to improve the gas-solid flow homogeneity in CFB risers. The
aim of this study is to verify if applying ultrasound in the radial direction of a lab-scale CFB …

A two-dimensional transient Eulerian model integrating the kinetic theory for emulsion phase
is used to simulate the bubbling and slugging gas-solid fluidized beds, including the Geldart …

The hydrodynamic behavior of a cold-flow gas–solid fluidized bed with an inner diameter of
22 cm is investigated by means of an ultra-fast X-ray tomographic setup. In the case of an …

A new concept and a preliminary study for a monocolumn floating unit are introduced, aimed
at exploring and producing oil in ultradeep waters. This platform, which combines two …
