Modeling of a catalytic fluidized bed reactor via coupled CFD-DEM with MGM : from intra-particle scale to reactor scale Universiteit Gent
The Computational Fluid Dynamics -Discrete Element Method (CFD-DEM) method is extended by coupling with the multi-grain model (MGM) to include particle growth due to a gas-solid reaction, as well as intra-and inter-particle phenomena such as heat and mass transfer, and reaction, next to the inter-particle and fluid-particle interactions in the reactor. This comprehensive model treats each particle individually and accounts for changes in ...
