TWC19 Process Modeling of Bulk Solid Systems in Industrial Applications
OverviewProcess modeling of industrial bulk solids systems presents a challenging opportunity. Difficulties can be found understanding the underlying physics, scaling lab-scale models, obtaining detailed large-scale data and balancing computational simplicity with the required rigor to accurately predict commercial behavior. This session reviews current work modeling the storage, handling and transport of bulk solids systems.
