A critical review of the literature on fluidization using the kinetic theory of granular flow is
presented. An equation of state for the particles relating solids pressure to the granular …

In recent years, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used increasingly to improve
process design capabilities in many industrial applications, including industrial drying …

In this work, a strategy capable of simulating polydisperse flows in complex geometries is
employed where the fluid transport equations are solved in an Eulerian framework and the …

A new computational fluid-dynamic (CFD) model with a separate granular temperature (2/3
random particle kinetic energy per unit of mass) equation for each phase or particle size was …

Starting from a kinetic theory based two‐fluid model for gas‐particle flows, we first construct
filtered two‐fluid model equations that average over small scale inhomogeneities that we do …

A validation and mesh refinement study has been performed for the simulation of a freely
bubbling bed of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst operating at superficial gas velocities …

The dynamic behavior of gas–solids flow in a 6-m high riser was predicted using a transient
two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic model based on the kinetic theory of granular flows …

This paper focuses on the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process and reviews recent
developments in its modeling, monitoring, control, and optimization. This challenging …

Continuum model equations for unsteady gas-particle flows in devices such as fluidized
beds and circulating fluidized bed risers contain unstable modes whose length scale is of …

Multiple cyclones are adopted to enlarge the capacity of circulating fluidized bed (CFB). In
this work, the effect of cyclone arrangements on the gas-solid flow dynamics in the three …
