A Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of Fluid Catalytic Cracking Cyclones

J. W. McTernan[1], I. Abu-Mahfouz[2]
[1]Buell Division of Fisher-Klosterman Inc., Lebanon, PA, USA
[2]Pennsylvania State University - Harrisburg, Middletown, PA, USA

Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC) regenerators utilize a fluidized bed to facilitate catalyst regeneration. Cyclones are used to separate the catalyst from the gas stream and return the catalyst to the fluidized bed; as the gas progresses through the system for further processing. This ... Read More

Plate fin heat exchangers are widely used for heat recovery or cooling purposes in many industries, such as cryogenics, aerospace and automobile industries. This paper developed a numerical model to simulate the heat transfer and fluid flow in a counter flow plate fin heat exchanger and ... Read More

A Dual Continuum Model for Groundwater Flow in Karst Aquifers

R. Painter[1], J. Harris[1], T. Byl[1], L. Sharpe[1]
[1]Tennessee State University, Nashville, TN, USA

In karst terrain, the interaction between the fast moving, highly turbulent conduit flow and the slow moving, laminar flow through porous media is largely unknown. Yet the dual nature of the karst system impacts the residence time of solutes in the groundwater supplies of over 25% of the ... Read More

Simulation of Gravity-Driven Flow Through a Microfluidic Device on a Rocker Platform

B. Srinivasan[1], J. Hickman[1], M. Shuler[2]
[1]University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA
[2]Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA

A micropump delivers fluid between different components of a microfluidic device in a controlled manner. The elimination of micropump can reduce the design complexity, simplify fabrication, shrink the device footprint and decrease the set-up time required for the operation of the ... Read More

CVD Graphene Growth Mechanism on Nickel Thin Films

K. Al-Shurman[1], H. Naseem[2]
