Finite elements using COMSOL Multiphysics have been used to simulate the edge plasma in a large area capacitively coupled RF reactor. In order to reduce numerical difficulties simplified reactor edge geometries have been used. First results show the importance of electrostatic double ... Read More
Granular and powdered activated carbons have been widely used for purification/filtration in air and water as catalysts or organic adsorbents. To obtain mechanical filtration capacity and inorganic reduction performance, activated carbon can be formed as a block-shaped porous media, ... Read More
Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) has two independent, diverse, fast acting & fail safe shut down systems to achieve the required level of safety & reliability (1). The shut down systems comprises of nine numbers of Control & Safety Rod Drive Mechanisms (CSRDM) & ... Read More
Gas-liquid falling film microreactors carry out fast exothermic and mass transfer limited reactions. Since the major rate limiting steps occur on the liquid side, it is important to account for a realistic liquid film profile within the reactor simulation. Based on realistic channel ... Read More
Present work is done in the framework of the SisAl Pilot EU project, which aims at optimising the silicon production in Europe by recycling materials and using a carbon-emission friendly technology. The silicon production experiments are conducted on laboratory and pilot scales in ... Read More
The DOE BETO consortium "ChemCatBio" has developed a packed bed catalyst for use in a Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis (CFP) process for producing biofuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass. Another BETO consortium known as "CCPC" (Consortium for Computational Physics and Chemistry) is ... Read More
Steam drums of a nuclear power plant separate steam from the steam water mixture and sub cooled incoming feed water returns to the reactor. The entire feed water flow is delivered to the steam drum through the feed water sparger. The feed water sparger is provided with number of ... Read More
叶片复合材料层的击穿是风电机组遭受雷击后的主要故障形式。对于低电导率的GFRP类叶片铺层而言，雷电先导作用下的强背景电场造成的电击穿可能先于回击电弧的热效应产生。为了获得GFRP铺层的电击穿机理，基于COSMOL Multiphysics软件，建立了引下线-GFRP铺层的流注放电数值仿真模型。考虑了空气域与介质层内部的粒子输运，以及气-固分界面上的电荷沉积与注入作用。通过“稀物质传递物理场” 模块、“静电物理场”模块、“边界常微分和微分代数” 模块以及“稳定对流-扩散方程接口” 模块对控制方程进行求解。依据电场梯度分布进行了网格加密与时间步设置 ... Read More
This paper intends to show a model of a monolithic reactor for the autothermal reforming process (ATR), a process that uses hydrocarbons to produce H2. The ATR chemical reactions take place on the surface of monolith channels coated with a catalyst. The isothermal ATR reactor is modeled ... Read More
Magnesium hydride (MgH2) has been one of the most promising hydrogen storage methods that can be applied to commercial hydrogen energy systems due to magnesium’s safety, low cost, and excellent storage capacity for hydrogen, compared to other reversible metal hydrides. But hydrogen ... Read More
