• CPFD simulation of enhanced cement raw meal fluidization through mixing with coarse, inert particles 

      Samani, Nastaran Ahmadpour; Jayarathna, Chameera K.; Tokheim, Lars-Andre (Journal article, 2020)
      In the current work, computational particle and fluid dynamics (CPFD) simulations are used to study an electrically heated bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) used as a calciner in a cement manufacturing process, applying a ...
    • Experimental and computational studies of circulating fluidized bed 

      Moradi, Ali; Samani, Nastaran Ahmadpour; Mojarrad, Masih; Sharfuddin, Mohammad; Bandara, Janitha; Moldestad, Britt Margrethe Emilie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Biomass gasification represents an efficient process for the production of power, heat and biofuels. Different technologies are used for gasification and this article focuses on a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) system. ...
    • Fluidized bed calcination of cement raw meal: Laboratory experiments and CPFD simulations 

      Samani, Nastaran Ahmadpour; Jayarathna, Chameera; Tokheim, Lars-Andre (Journal article, 2020)
      The chemical and thermal processes associated with the decarbonation and fuel combustion in the cement kiln process produce a large amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) contributing with around 8 % of the global CO2 emissions. ...
