Different disciplines deal with mesoscale problems between the scales of element (micro)
and system (macro) in different ways. Usually, coarse-graining or statistical approaches …

A three-dimensional CFD (computational fluid dynamics) steady-state model was
established to simulate biomass gasification in a circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) reactor. The …

With rapid development of urban rail transit, maglev trains, benefiting from its comfortable,
energy-saving and environmentally friendly merits, have gradually entered people's …

The authors investigate the effects of the direction of the gas jet on the solid residence time
distribution in a CFB riser. Tracer technique was employed to calculate the RTD of solids. A …

Phase change materials (PCMs) and particularly microencapsulated phase change
materials (MPCM) have introduced new ways to enhance the energy storage capacity of a …

Biomass, as a renewable energy resource, can be utilized to generate chemicals, heat, and
electricity. Compared with biomass combustion, biomass gasification is more eco-friendly …

Solid particles mixed in the oil cause erosion of hydraulic spool valves, and these valves
may fail in severe erosion. In this article, with the help of the Euler–Lagrange solver, a …

The present work aims to conduct CFD simulations of different types of fluidized beds with
the same simulation setup. For this, a suitable validation experiment from literature must be …

A comprehensive two dimensional numerical model has been developed to simulate the
biomass gasification in a fluidised bed reactor. Gas-solid flows as well as the chemical …

Concentrated solar energy provides thermal energy that can be utilised for thermochemical
conversion of biomass to produce liquid fuel and gases. This creates an efficient and a …
