This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the Energy Minimization Multi-scale (EMMS) theory and the drag model for heterogeneous gas-solid fluidized flows. The results show that the cluster density plays a critical role with regard to drag. A novel cluster model is proposed and indicates that the profile of cluster density is single-peaked with the maximum value located at solid concentrations of 0.1~0.15. The EMMS theory is improved with the cluster model and an accurate drag model is developed. The model’s universality is achieved by investigating the relationship between the heterogeneity and flow patterns. The drag model is subsequently verified numerically and experimentally.

This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy demands throughout the globe has been increasing and the detrimental effects of carbon emissions on the environment by use of non-renewable resources has impacted life on the planet. The changing climate has caused an increase in natural calamities all over the globe. Many countries in the world have started to produce power using renewable resources like solar, biomass, wind energy, nuclear energy and green fuels. Though there are several technologies for power generation using the above sources, efficient design of these systems still needs lot of research. Mathematical modeling would play a vital role in design of state of the art technologies. Advanced nuclear power plants need special mention since they involve naturally driven safety systems where the complex phenomena of boiling, condensation and thermal stratification take place. These are difficult to model as there is more than one phase coupled with turbulence models, near wall phenomena, coalescence and break up, etc. Scaling up of such systems and their innovative design to reduce stratification requires the help of mathematical modeling. Other opportunities include Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling for design of wind turbines for power generation using wind energy. Power generation from biomass involves use of gasifiers which has complex set of reactions and mostly two or three phases which are difficult to model using CFD at industrial scales.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluidized bed reactors are one of the unit processes most commonly used in the industry. Plastic production, energy conversion, petroleum refining, and medicine manufacturing are just a few examples of the fields benefiting from this type of technology. Although important advances have been made towards the understanding and prediction of the dynamics of fluidized beds, many important questions remain unanswered. One of the most important open challenges is the study of the effects of electrostatic forces inside the reactor. This electrostatic interaction is known to be the cause of some important problems such as the accumulation of material at the reactor's wall, the risk of explosion, the perturbation of nearby electronic devices and even the complete loss of the fluidization state. Despite the important research efforts in the last few decades, many problems are still unsolved. Amongst these, we find the use of non-invasive measurements techniques to characterize the hydrodynamics effects of electrostatic forces inside the reactor; and the macroscopic mathematical modeling of the charging dynamics in the bed. These are the issues that this research program tries to address. As part of the project ANR-IPAF, this Ph.D. thesis aims at improving the understanding of the effects of electrostatic forces in a fluidized bed reactor. On the modeling front, we use the kinetic theory of rapid granular flow to derive the most complete Eulerian model of the particle electric charge dynamics in monodispersed gas-solid flow systems. In this work, we show how to lift some of the most restrictive hypotheses of previous models. We show that the transport equation for the mean particle electric charge can be obtained without assuming the shape of the particle electric charge probability density function. In addition to this, we also derive and close the transport equation for the second order terms: the particle charge-velocity covariance and the particle charge variance. Our results show that a correct modeling of the second order moments is needed in dilute or highly electrically charged regions. Given that this complete model also adds many more partial differential equations to be solved, we study possible simplifications. Two algebraic models, one neglecting the effects of the charge variance and one taking it into account are proposed. The former proved to be suitable in configurations with low electric potential energy. However, the latter must be use with caution as it can become nonphysical in high charged situations. Finally, a semi-algebraic model is also proposed to solve the important limitations of the coupled algebraic model. On the experimental front, we study the use of an ECVT system to characterize the dynamics inside the bed. We focus our attention to the image reconstruction algorithm. We test the traditional reconstruction algorithms found in the literature. However, our results show that they are, either too inaccurate, or too computationally expensive. For these reasons, we explore the use of a novel reconstruction technique using machine learning algorithms. In this thesis, we propose two different strategies to train a feed forward artificial neural network to handle the image reconstruction step in a ECVT device. The first strategy is based on CFD-generated data which is coupled with the sensitivity matrix model to deduce the capacitance measurements. The second approach relies exclusively on real experimental data and it seeks to reconstruct an image that could explain the capacitance measurements. Our results show that artificial neural networks can be as accurate as the best image reconstruction algorithms found in the literature. However, they can reduce the computational cost by several order of magnitudes.
