Gas-solid flow behavior of the bottom zone of a 65t/h High-low bed CFB was simulated using the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package Fluent. The Eulerian-Eulerian model (EEM) based on the kinetic theory of granular flow (KTGF) was adopted. This approach treated each phase as continuous separately. The link between the gas and solid phases was through drag model and turbulence model. While the turbulence was simulated by the standard k-ε and mixture multiphase model, the Gidaspow drag model was used to model the interphase interaction. Four phases were set to achieve size distribution in the EEM. Gas and solid flow profiles are obtained for solid velocity, solid volume fraction, pressure, and size distribution. The results show that EEM can predict preferably the internal circulation process of the dense zone high-low bed CFB.

Plate heat exchangers including offset-strip fins or dimple-type turbulators have a wide application in the automotive field as oil coolers for internal combustion engines and transmissions. Their optimization is a complex task since it requires targeting different objectives: High compactness, low pressure drop and high heat-transfer efficiency. In this context, the availability of accurate Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation models plays an important role during the design phase. In this work, the development of a computational framework for the CFD simulation of compact oil-to-liquid heat exchangers, including offset-strip fins and dimples, is presented. The paper addresses the modeling problem at different scales, ranging from the characteristic size of the turbulator geometry (typically µm–mm) to the full scale of the overall device (typically cm–dm). The simulation framework is based on multi-scale concept, which applies: (a) Detailed simulations for the characterization of the micro-scale properties of the turbulator, (b) an upscaling approach to derive suitable macro-scale models for the turbulators and (c) full-scale simulations of the entire cooler, including the porous models derived for the smaller scales. The model is validated comparing with experimental data under different operating conditions. Then, it is adopted to investigate the details of the fluid dynamics and heat-transfer process, providing guidelines for the optimization of the device.
