The energy dissipated during particle collisions in multiphase flows can significantly affect the fluid dynamic behavior of the phases in devices involving this kind of flow. Operational problems can result from not taking into account these collisions and their effects on other flow aspects, such as particle adhesion and changes in the drag and lift, in the equipment design. This project…
Wastewater treatments using anaerobic bioreactors are have been gaining notoriety in last decades by being an effective, low-cost, clean technology, also presenting biogases as byproduct of its reaction, which can be harnessed as renewable energy sources. Among these bioreactors, fluidized bed ones stand out, due to its high mass transfer rate and productivity when compared to fix or slur…
Many industrial processes involve dense solid-liquid flows, in which particle-particle and particle-wall collisions determine the solid phase motion. In most of these systems, part of the energy dissipation comes from these collisions, which are mainly assessed by the effective restitution coefficient, an interaction parameter strongly influenced by physical and elastic properties of the …
With the accelerated increase of computational capacity, the use of computational simulations has become more and more common in several knowledge areas. Among them, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has stood out, since it allows the analysis of complex flows details at relatively low costs. One of its possible applications is the modeling of flows of particulate systems, observed in a …
The need production of clean energy makes anaerobic fludized bed reactor an efficient technology in order to produce hydrogen from biomass found in wastewater, often discarded on industry processes. Among other factors, the anaerobic fludized bed reactor hydrodynamic behavior is directly associed to mechanical, physical and superficial characteristics of bioparticles used, as dissipated e…
Wastewater treatment using liquid fluidized bed anaerobic bioreactor is an effective and self-sustainable technology. The performance of this type of equipment is usually better than other technologies, like slurry and fixed bed, because of the increase in mass transfer between phases. However, it is quite challenging to determine how particles and fluid behave inside the equipment, leadi…
One of the most promising technologies employed for biological wastewater treatment in recent years is the fluidized bed. In this kind of device, pollutants in wastewater are removed by the action of microbes immobilized on the surface of the fluidized particles, known as bioparticles. One of the advantages of fluidized bed reactors is that they operate at high overall pollutant removal r…
