Correct detection of the disease is not an easy task because the disease manifests itself in many variants and a high variability across different subjects is observed. The diagnostic clinical trials typically rely on a 24-h sampling protocol making the overall test long, stressful, and costly. Using a new pharmacokinetic model, the study demonstrates the possibility to perform a shorter clinical test, and proposes a set of model-based diagnostic methods, based on the shorter clinical protocol, as a support for the clinical team.1 670 Hydrodynamic Design of Multi-Zone Circulating Reactors Using CFD Reza Marandi, Mohammadmahdi Kamyabi and Navid Mostoufi This work deals with the geometric hydrodynamic design of multi-zone circulating reactors (MZCRs) for polypropylene production. Four reactor geometries were developed in an improving sequential way and were simulated by a 3D Eulerian-Eulerian CFD model incorporating the kinetic theory of granular flow (KTGF). According to the results, a smaller diameter of the downer (compared to the riser) was suggested; using a side flow was suggested and the proper range for inlet gas velocity was obtained.2 770 A Novel Quasi Plug-Flow Reactor Design for Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulose Using Rheology Experiment and CFD Simulation Yonghui Li, Xingxing Cao, Zhongfeng Geng and Minhua Zhang A novel quasi plug-flow reactor in industrial scale was developed via CFD simulation in order to improve the efficiency of enzymolysis for cellulose. Firstly, the rheological properties of the cellulose enzymolysis slurry of furfural residues were studied via experiments. Then CFD simulation of industrial-scale reactors was carried out with k-kl-ω turbulence model which was good at describing great variation on the extent of turbulence to optimize it. The optimized structures had the following features: (1) combination of double helical ribbons and vertical blade, (2) two partitions and four baffles, (3) flow area was 0.1 m2 on partitions.3 References 1 C.
