Particles encountered in nature and engineering practice are normally not spherical but of
irregular shapes. Particle shape plays a key role in determining the behaviour of bulk solids, …

Dense particulate reaction system (DPRS) is quite common in many engineering fields such
as energy conversion, petro-chemical processing, mineral processing, chemical …

Hydrogen is regarded as one of the promising sustainable energy carriers for human society.
Methane reforming is crucial to hydrogen energy industry since it is the main route to …

Three-dimensional gas and particle turbulent motions in a rectangular spout-fluid bed were
simulated. The particle motion was modeled by discrete element method and the gas motion …

The mixing and segregation behavior of biomass particle have been investigated experimentally
in fluidized bed made up of biomass–sand mixture with different biomass/sand ratios. …

Catalysts of Ni supported on home-made mesoporous alumina (Ni/M-Al 2 O 3 ) were
prepared via facile incipient impregnation method and calcined under different temperature (500–…

A comprehensive three-dimensional numerical model has been developed to simulate the
coal gasification in a fluidized bed gasifier. The methodology is based on the multiphase …

Discrete element method (DEM) was developed to simulate the corn-shaped particles flow
in the hopper. The corn-shaped particle was described by four overlapping spheres. Contact …

Three dimensionally coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method
(DEM) were used to investigate the flow of corn-shaped particles in a cylindrical spouted …

A comprehensive three-dimensional numerical model is developed to simulate forestry
residues gasification in a fluidized bed reactor using Eulerian–Lagrangian approach. The …
