In this paper, the unified gas-kinetic wave-particle (UGKWP) method is further developed for diatomic gas with energy exchange between translational and rotational modes flow study in all regimes. The multiscale transport mechanism UGKWP coming from direct modelling a discretized space, where cell's Knudsen number, defined by ratio of particle mean free path over numerical cell size, determines...

The rotating cone reactor is a novel reactor type for rapid thermal processing of solids. This paper focuses on the experimental determination of the gas-to-particle heat transfer coefficient. This quantity has been measured for several particle diameters (average size of 150, 280 and 425 pm) and cone rotational frequencies (11.3 and 28.3 Hz). The gas-to-particle heat transfer coefficient obtai...

⎯ The omni-directional sensitivity pattern of an integrated three dimensional acoustic sensor, composed of four hot-wire particle velocity sensors is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. We investigate the influence of the presence of the probe surface on the direction of the measured particle velocity measured by the sensors, and a description of the gas flow profile around the integrate...

In this paper, an arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) based numerical method has been presented for the numerical simulation of gas-particle two phase flow with moving boundaries. The main stages for the implementation of the algorithm have been discussed. The numerical results of cylindrical implosion and 2D dusty gas explosion have shown the effectiveness of the method.

Cooking stoves, both gas and electric, are one of the strongest and most common sources of ultrafine particles (UFP) in homes. UFP have been shown to be associated with adverse health effects such as DNA damage and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. This study investigates the effectiveness of kitchen exhaust hoods in reducing indoor levels of UFP emitted from a gas stove and oven. Measur...

This paper presents a computational study of the flow behavior in a cold-flow pilot-scale circulating fluidized bed. A multi-fluid Ž . Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD model has been developed and verified against experimental data reported in the literature. The flow model is based on an Eulerian description of the phases where the kinetic theory of granular flow forms the basis for the turbul...

A versatile table-top dusty plasma experimental device to study flow induced excitations of linear and nonlinear waves/structures in a complex plasma is presented. In this Π-shaped apparatus, a DC glow discharge plasma is produced between a disc shaped anode and a grounded long cathode tray by applying a high voltage DC in the background of a neutral gas (argon) and subsequently a dusty plasma ...

Radial profiles of particle velocities were investigated in a 6.1m high methanol-to-olefins cold model experimental device using a TSI laser Doppler velocimeter. The effect of axial height on flow development was not obvious in fully developed region under the same operating condition. Superficial gas velocity and solid circulating rate had significant influence on particle velocity in the cent...

A method for the simulation of flows involving a disperse particle phase and a rarefied gas is extended for increased accuracy and efficiency in modeling the high altitude plume flow from a solid propellant rocket. First, a procedure is presented so that calculations involving the interphase transfer of momentum and energy may be avoided in regions where these calculations will have negligible ...
