چکیده
This paper contains the description of pyrolysis and flow process through porous media taking into account kinetic rate coefficient and equilibrium state of pyrolysis. Mathematical equation of pyrolysis mechanism including kinetic rate coefficient and equilibrium rate of pyrolysis, and equations like mass, momentum and energy and flow through porous zone are presented. Considered model is based on a simple geometry based on downdraft gasifier and analysed basing on CFD calculation of pyrolysis and flow of volatiles. Numerical analysis of open system with mass source is carried out by means of Fluent. Calculations of the chemical and physical processes in porous bed are performed for different porosity.

Modeling and Simulation of Alternative Injections of CO2 and Water into Porous Carbonate Formations
Water alternating gas (WAG) technique is used in the petroleum industry to inject carbon dioxide (CO2) into underground formations either for sequestration or enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. CO2 injection causes reactions with formation brine or aquifer and produces carbonic acid, the acid dissolves calcite and changes flow behavior significantly. Modeling and investigating effects of CO...

Introduction: The modeling aims to simulate or optimize a process in physical, chemical or biological environments and the derived model will provide a considerable assistance to generate data and predict unknown condition, in case of sufficient suitability. Unsuitable disposal and elimination of waste tires have polluted the environment and human life areas, it also have caused removal of a hu...
متن کاملTwo Phase Modeling of Char Combustion in a Circulating Fluidized Bed Reactor Using ASPEN PLUS
In this paper, combustion of char in the riser of circulating fluidized bed was modeled using ASPEN PLUS. Since physical and chemical phenomena are involved in the process, the model integrates the two-phase hydrodynamic sub-model with the reaction sub-model derived from the literature. In the proposed model, the fluidized bed is divided into several sections and the behavior of each section wa...

متن کاملMathematical Modeling of Gas Adsorption Processes in Packed Bed: The Role of Numerical Methods on Computation Time
Rigorous mathematical modeling of adsorption processes in packed beds involves time-consuming computations which are considered as the fundamental weakness of such thorough mathematical models. Thus, reducing the computation time was a key factor in improving adsorption mathematical models. In order to achieve this goal, an attempt was made to know how much using different numerical methods inf...
