CFD Modeling tools

Solving process issues, incorporating Alternative Fuels or benchmarking emmissions are just some of many tasks that CFD modeling can provide.  With the continuous improvement of  computer processing capabilities many of the tasks performed today were not possible years ago.  As the computing power increases and drives the convergence time down from it’s current level of days (for complex combustion) the day will come where CFD will be an excellent engineering tool for the process engineer to solve complex process issues at the plant level.

Schnarre Engineering promotes and uses CFD wherever possible to ensure optimized solutions are achieved before the process is changed.

Here’s an example of a kiln/hood assembly with velocity vector distribution along the burner axis.

Another example below shows particle trajectories and burn out of individual coal particles in a cement calciner.

These represent a small example of what the technology is capable of doing. 

Think about using CFD next time you have a process related issue.

California’s AB-32 Bill

With the recent news of President Obama supporting the AB-32 initiative, California and 13 other states are poised to start implementing the climate change bill AB-32 which requires the reversal of GHG emmissions by 2020 to 1990 levels.   Further information is available in the AB-32 link or in this PDF.
