Modelling of particle-fluid reactive flows coupled with phase changes (ARC Discovery Project administered by the University of New South Wales) (2018–2021)

Abstract:

Particle-fluid reactive flows with phase changes are widely encountered in many energy-intensive industries, yet process design and optimization are hindered by the lack of understanding of complex phenomena governing particularly multiphase flow, phase change and their interactions. The project will tackle this specific challenge by developing an integrated mathematical model for reliably describing multiphase reactive flow coupled with phase change. It will be achieved by means of combining advanced particle-scale numerical techniques with predatabase- based thermodynamic model, supported by physical experiments. The outcomes will be applied across a range of industries of vital importance to Australian economic and technological future.
