Process & Chemical
Mixing, separation, multiphase flow and transport inside reactors.
What we work on
- Particle separation and grade efficiency in cyclones and separators
- Homogeneity and dead zones in stirred tanks
- Multiphase flow: bubble formation and distribution
- Spray injection and droplet transport
- Gas distribution in tray columns
- Temperature and concentration fields inside reactors
Example topics
Formation and distribution of air bubbles in limestone slurry; spraying limestone slurry onto flue gas; flue gas distribution in a tray column; modelling of a circulating fluidised bed boiler.
Technical notes for this field
- What actually governs efficiency in a cyclone separator?
- Mixing time and dead zones in a stirred tank
- Fluidised beds: are bubbles unavoidable?
- Non-Newtonian fluids: viscosity is no longer a number
- Pump cavitation: why an NPSH margin of 1.1 is not enough
- Dust explosion venting: where will the pressure go?
