25. Development of a computational instrument using a lagrangian particle method for physics teaching in the areas of fluid dynamics and transport phenomena
Abstract Particle methods are an alternative to the traditional mesh Eulerian methods for solution of fluid dynamics and transport phenomena problems. The Lagrangian Meshless Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method presents advantages compared to mesh methods as a better visualisation of the spatio-temporal evolution of the flow (and the fluid propertie

26. CFD Simulation of an Industrial Reactor for Thermal Cracking of 1,2-Dichloroethane
Abstract The vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is commercially produced on a large scale by thermal cracking of 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC) in a tubular reactor immersed in a furnace. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate and predict the performance of an industrial reactor. The reactor conversion as well as the behavior of several process variable

28. COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS (CFD) APPLICATION FOR VENTILATION STUDIES IN BROILER HOUSES
ABSTRACT With the recent increase in the number of acclimatized broiler houses in Brazil, design and adaptation of facilities to withstand the tropical weather conditions enabling the maintenance of ideal conditions without increasing costs have been major challenges. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ventilation system in solid-wall broiler houses u

29. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulating heated air from wood burning inside a poultries barn
ABSTRACT Animal welfare is essential for livestock yield gains, which has been ethically justifiable and socially acceptable. Thus, our research aimed to test computational fluid dynamics model (CFD) to simulate heated air within a poultry barn. Data were simulated in CFD software based on Navier-Stokes equations (geometry of 3 m x 6 m, considering a symmetr

30. STUDY OF FEEDSTOCK INJECTION TO IMPROVE CATALYST HOMOGENIZATION IN THE RISER OF A FCC
Abstract A three dimensional gas-solid reactive flow model based on the Eulerian-Eulerian approach was used to study the effects of different nozzle designs with internal parts inside the FCC riser. The simulations were solved using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with CFX version 14.0 as tool. The results showed that the nozzle designs have a significant

31. A CFD STUDY OF DEPOSITION OF PHARMACEUTICAL AEROSOLS UNDER DIFFERENT RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS
Abstract Respiratory diseases have received increasing attention in recent decades. Airway bifurcations are difficult regions to study, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) offers an alternative way of evaluating the behavior of pharmaceutical aerosols used in the treatment of respiratory disorders. In this work, particle deposition was analyzed using a th

32. THE IMPACT OF RADIATION IN THE GAS COMBUSTION MODEL FOR SUGARCANE BAGASSE GRATE BOILER
Abstract This work evaluates the impact of different radiation models on the results of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of a sugarcane bagasse grate boiler. CFD has been applied extensively in the development of comprehensive models for biomass heterogeneous combustion. The model presented in this paper considers the turbulent flow represented

33. LINEAR STABILITY ANALYSIS AND CFD SIMULATION OF DOUBLE-LAYER RAYLEIGH-BÉNARD CONVECTION
Abstract Natural convection in superimposed layers of fluids heated from below is commonly observed in many industrial and natural situations, such as crystal growth, co-extrusion processes and atmospheric flow. The stability analysis of this system reveals a complex dynamic behavior, including the potential multiplicity of stationary states and occurrence o

34. Application of optimization for improvement of the efficiency of louvered-fin compact heat exchangers
Abstract A few decades ago, the product development process was just based on a trial and error procedure, and the designer's experience. The need for a new way to design and manufacture more economical and sustainable products corroborates increasingly to a new vision of how to create new products for the benefit of society. Modern numerical tools allow gre

35. Investigation on the nasal airflow characteristics of anterior nasal cavity stenosis
We used a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to study the inspiratory airflow profiles of patients with anterior nasal cavity stenosis who underwent curative surgery, by comparing pre- and postoperative airflow characteristics. Twenty patients with severe anterior nasal cavity stenosis, including one case of bilateral stenosis, underwent computed tomog

36. Geometry and head loss in Venturi injectors through computational fluid dynamics
ABSTRACT To determine the influence of geometry on the hydrodynamic behavior of Venturi injectors, using computational fluid dynamics techniques, we studied, at the Universitat Politècnica de València, Valencia, Spain, the geometric parameters that exert the most influence on head losses: the relationship between throat diameter and nozzle (β), nozzle ang
