Abstract
Process engineering focuses on the design, operation and maintenance of chemical and material manufacturing processes. As in other disciplines, CFD has attained a certain maturity in order to analyze and optimize these processes. Besides convective, turbulent and diffusive transport of mass, momentum and energy, CFD in process engineering has to account for several other complexities such as multi phase fluids including phase changes, the kinetics of chemical and biological conversion, unknown material and thermodynamic properties, among others. The paper presents a selection of applications, where classical CFD techniques as well as new developments such as the lattice-Boltzmann technique are utilized.
