Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the evaporation of a hydrocarbon feedstock in the convection section of a steam cracker
TL;DR: The developed model is used to simulate the flow boiling process of a hydrocarbon feedstock in the tubes of a convection section heat exchanger of a steam cracker and results show a succession of horizontal two-phase flow regimes in agreement with the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
CFD modeling of all gas–liquid and vapor–liquid flow regimes predicted by the Baker chart
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared gas/vapor-liquid two-phase co-current horizontal flow regimes with experimental data, taken from the Baker chart, using a piecewise linear interface calculation (PLIC) interface reconstruction method.
Journal ArticleDOI
CFD simulations of steam cracking furnaces using detailed combustion mechanisms
TL;DR: It is suggested that more sophisticated turbulence–chemistry interaction models like the EDC model and more Detailed Reaction Kinetics should be used for combustion modeling in steam cracking furnaces under normal firing conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of radiation models in CFD simulations of steam cracking furnaces
TL;DR: The effect is discussed of the use of different radiation models on the predicted wall, tube skin and flue gas temperature profiles and heat fluxes towards the reactor tubes, as well as on the expected species concentration profiles and structure of the furnace flames under normal firing conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling fast biomass pyrolysis in a gas/solid vortex reactor
TL;DR: In this paper, pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass in a gas/solid vortex reactor (GSVR) is modeled to assess the potential of this centrifugal fluidization reactor technology and to explore its process intensification abilities.
