Laminar and turbulent mixed convection heat transfer of water/Cu nanofluids in a
rectangular shallow cavity was studied utilizing a two-phase mixture model. The upper …

Pneumatic conveying is an important operation used in many industries to transport granular
materials from one place to another. In recent years, the combined approach of the discrete …

In pneumatic conveying bends are used to interconnect vertical and horizontal pipe
sections. During conveying bends are known to be related to several characteristic flow …

A comprehensive validated numerical model simulating the pneumatic transport of fine
particles through various geometries has been developed using Computational Fluid …

In this work an extended three-dimensional model to describe the process of wall collisions
of arbitrary shaped non-spherical particles is developed. This model is derived as the …

The present contribution summarizes research related to the numerical computation of
pneumatic conveying systems applying the Euler/Lagrange approach. For that purpose, a …

This paper presents a numerical study of dense-phase horizontal pneumatic conveying of
powders by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The validity of the numerical …

This paper investigates numerically the erosion phenomenon that occurs in 90 deg and 180
deg curved ducts. The erosion prediction model comprises from three stages: flow modeling …

Direction of material flow changes during conveying materials through elbows. In pneumatic
conveying systems, direction changes (elbows) cause energy loss and product damage …

A new concept of a supercritical water (SCW) circulating fluidized bed reactor is proposed to
produce hydrogen from coal/biomass gasification. The cyclone is a key component of the …
