Semester | Spring Semester 2016 |
Lecturers | C. Müller |
Periodicity | yearly recurring course |
Language of instruction | English |
Abstract | Introduction to the fundamentals of macroscopic single- and two-phase particulate flows. It should be noted that the lecture focuses on the derivation of analytical expression to explain various phenomena occurring in those systems. |
Learning objective | This course shall provide the students with a deep understanding of the underlying physics of two-phase particulate flows and phenomena occurring in such systems. An introduction to scale-up and reactive flows is included. |
Content | First, different approaches to characterize granular systems are presented. This is followed by a detailed discussion of phenomena occurring in practical single- and two-phase particulate systems/reactors, e.g. rotating cylinders, vibrated beds or gas-fluidized beds. In addition the influence of fluid dynamics on chemical reactions occurring in gas-solid fluidized beds are discussed. Subsequently, basic approaches to model such systems are provided. Conclusion - The course covers the following topics: Characterization of particulate systems. Forces acting on particulate systems. Basics of single-phase particulate reactors, e.g. vibrated beds or rotating kilns. Basics of two-phase particulate reactors, e.g. fixed and fluidized beds. Reactive two-phase particulate systems. General modeling approaches for single- and two-phase particulate systems/reactors. |
