Discretising Hard metals
October 21, 2014 0 0A numerical and parallelised method to describe a reacting packed bed in contact with a gas phase is being developed by linking material and computer sciences. Packed bed processes are important engineering applications as encountered in renewable energy and hard metal production. The latter in particular is investigated for conversion of pulverised tungsten oxide to…
Simulation of WO3 reduction in H2
October 15, 2014 0 1Simulation of WO3 reduction in H2 Reduction of WO3 to tungsten in a hydrogen atmosphere is described by well–known reaction schemes, for which temperature and reaction progress is described by the Discrete Particle Method (DPM). Hydrogen as a gaseous phase is introduced as a reducing agent that streams over a packed bed of tungsten…
