Abstract
AbstractA hybrid Lagrangian‐Eulerian methodology is developed for the numerical simulation of turbulent reactive gas‐solid flow. The SO2‐NOx Adsorption Process (SNAP) in a riser reactor with dilute gas‐solid flow is taken as a test case. A three‐dimensional time‐dependent simulation is performed. By using the transported composition PDF method [1], modeling of the mean chemical source term and mass transfer terms in the gas‐solid flow model equations is no longer needed. A notional particle‐based Monte‐Carlo algorithm is used to solve the transported composition PDF equations. A Finite‐Volume technique is used to calculate the hydrodynamic fields from the Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations combined with the k‐ϵ turbulence model for the gas phase and the Kinetic Theory of Granular Flow (KTGF) for the solid phase [2]. The newly developed hybrid solution technique is tested with the SNAP chemistry that has a total of 13 scalars (i.e., 5 gas phase components and 8 solid phase species) for which the composition fields of the reactive species are calculated. A good agreement between simulated and experimental gas‐outlet composition of a demonstration unit is obtained.
