Clustering is a common hydrodynamic characteristic observed among suspended gas-solid particles in a fast fluidized bed (FFB) regime of a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) system. In this paper clustering behavior has been studied with Geldart group B particles like coal and iron ore in a ... Read More
The rise in atmospheric CO2 needs the development of efficient conversion technologies. CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) emerges as a compelling solution, offering the transformation of CO2 into more energetic compounds, such as fuels (hydrocarbons, alcohols, etc.) and valuable chemicals, ...

In an experimental nuclear fusion facility dust is generated both during normal machine operations and by macroscopic erosion of the plasma facing materials due to intense thermal loads. This dust can be mobilized by air ingress in case of LOVA (Loss of Vacuum Accident) threaten safety ... Read More
In recent years, the optimization of high-temperature superconductors (HTS) has shown promising potential for developing advanced cable layouts aimed at the realization of practical fusion reactors. Despite their excellent performance in terms of electromagnetic and mechanical stability, ... Read More
1 Problem Description Most studies for investigating heat and mass transfer phenomena in sorption storage systems use 1D or 2D numerical models. These are inadequate for analyzing processes in more complex geometries used in current prototypes. We present here a 3D model for the ... Read More
Heterogeneous photocatalysis an advanced oxidation process (AOP) which in combination with a catalyst and UV irradiation completely mineralizes organic pollutants from water or gases into harmless compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Photocatalysis as a process is ... Read More
Sintering is an essential process in the consolidation of powdered materials, enabling the transformation of compacted powders into dense, solid structures through controlled heating and atmosphere. Operating below the melting point of the base material, without any forces applied for a ... Read More
Simulation models for steady state thermal hydraulics analyses of ORNL’s HFIR have been developed using COMSOL. A single fuel plate and coolant channel of each type of HFIR fuel element was modeled in three dimensions. The standard k-? turbulence model was used in simulating turbulent ... Read More
The Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), proposed along with other five innovative concepts of fission nuclear reactor by the Generation IV International Forum (GIF-IV), represents a challenging task from the modeling perspective because of the strong coupling between neutronics and thermo ... Read More
This work treats of a preferential oxidation reactor, which is simulated by a two-dimensional axial symmetric model. The reactor serves as purification of hydrocarbon reformat and converts the CO mole fraction from up to 1 % in the feed gas down to a few ppm at the outlet to deliver a ... Read More
