Progress in Computational Fluid Dynamics, An International Journal (PCFD), Vol. 12, No. 2/3, 2012

Abstract: A strategy for design and optimisation of chemical processes involving multiple fluidised bed reactors is presented through a combination of standard design calculations, process simulation and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The strategy is demonstrated in designing a Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) process that generates 12.5 kW of heat in the air reactor. The resulting design strategy will allow for very economical investigations into various design and optimisation considerations. It also offers a platform from which to conduct virtual prototyping investigations for new process concepts, which will lead to significant economic benefits when compared with a traditional experimental process development strategy.
