Produktbeschreibung

Chapter 1 A Fluid-Porous Solid Reaction Model With Structural Changes, supplies details on modeling reactions with porous catalysts. The unique feature of this chapter is the pore closing, pore opening condition. This analysis is particularly useful for improving the design of storage batteries. Until the publication of "A Model for Discharge of Storage Batteries" by Dimitri Gidaspow and Bernard S. Baker, Journal of the Electrochemical Society,120, 1005-1010 (1973) the discharge of batteries was described by a purely empirical equation as a function of time. Chapter 2 Kinetics of the Reaction of CO2 With Solid K2CO3, complements U.S. patent No. 3,865,924 (February 11,1975) by Dimitri Gidaspow and Michael Onischak, on rates of carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. These rates of reaction were measured in a parallel plate channel at several laminar flow velocities. An integral equation flow analysis was used to obtain diffusion independent rates of reactions. Chapter 3 Silicon Deposition Reactor Using High Voltage Heating, describes an internally heated fluidized bed with no size limitations and with no bubble formation and its simulation. Chapter 4 Alternative Methods of Deriving Multiphase Field Equations, constitutes a literature review of approaches that have been used and/or proposed in the literature to derive multiphase flow equations which could form the basis of the theory and computation of dense suspensions of particulates such as coal-water slurries or blood flow.

Autorenporträt

Dimitri Gidaspow obtained his B.Ch.E. (cum laude) from the City College of New York, M.Ch.E. from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, and Ph.D. from the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). He is Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering, IIT (emeritus). Before joining IIT he was Adjunct Assistant Professor and then Full Professor at the Institute of Gas Technology (IGT). He is Principal Advisor of 65 Ph.D. students and many Masters students. His Industrial experience began at Air Products. While at IGT he worked on (1) fuel cells, receiving an award from the Marshall Space Flight Center, and (2) desiccant air conditioning. In each of these fields he authored many peer-reviewed publications. He served as consultants for the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) at Aerojet Nuclear Company in Idaho, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, Energy Research Corp., Argonne National Laboratory, the Department of Energy, United Technology Corporation (UTC), EXXON, Westinghouse, Electric, Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute (IITRI), MOBIL, UOP, and Polysilicon Corp. His major professional activities include Papers Chairman for AIChE Heat Transfer and Energy Conversion Division, Editor of "Heat Transfer - Research and Design" AIChE Heat Transfer Symposium Series Volume 70, No. 138 (1974), Program Chairman for the Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference and editor of a 2 volume set of proceedings for the American Chemical Society (ACS), Chairman of the AIChE multiphase flow committee (7g), Particle Technology Forum (PTC) chair at AIChE meetings, and multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tutorials. He holds 10 US patents over 200 refereed publications (over 10,000 citations in Google Scholar). He is the author of four books: 1. Dimitri Gidaspow, "Multiphase Flow and Fluidization, Continuum and Kinetic Theory Description", Academic Press,1994. 2. Dimitri Gidaspow and Veeraya Jiradilok, " Computational Techniques. The Multiphase CFD Approach to Fluidization and Green Energy Technologies" Nova Science Publishers, 2009. 3. Hamid Arastoopour, Dimitri Gidaspow and Emad Abbasi, "Computational Transport Phenomena of Fluid-Particle Systems" Springer, 2016, and 4. H. Arastoopour, D. Gidaspow, and R. W. Lyczkowski, "Transport Phenomena in Multiphase Systems" Springer, in preparation 2020. His awards include: AIChE Donald Q. Kern Award delivering the Lecture: "Hydrodynamics of Fluidization and Heat Transfer: Supercomputer Modeling", (Appl. Mech. Rev. 39, No. 1, 1-23, 1986), NSF Creativity Award, Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, IIT Alumni awards, AIChE Flour-Daniel Lectureship Award in Fluidization., Ernst W. Thiele Award, Sigma Xi award., Thomas Baron award, Festschrift (I&EC Research, 49,No.11, June 2, 2010), and PTF award for lifetime achievements. Robert W. Lyczkowski received his B.Ch.E in from Cleveland State University, Fenn School of Engineering and M.S. in Gas Engineering and Ph.D. in Gas Technology from Illinois Institute of Technology. He worked for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Energy Incorporated, Goodyear Atomic Corp., Hooker Chemical Corp., and as a faculty member at Illinois Institute of Technology. He has been involved for over forty years in chemical and nuclear engineering applications of his multiphase theory and computational fluid dynamics expertise especially in the areas of heat transfer and energy conversion to develop models that are now used by industry world-wide to design various two-phase flow equipment. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and a recipient of the prestigious Ernst W. Thiele Award. Most of Dr. Lyczkowski's career was spent as a Chemical Engineer in the Energy Systems Division at Argonne National Laboratory. He was involved with computer modeling of fluidized beds and dense slurries. His expertise is in the areas of multiphase flow and heat transfer, erosion, light water and liquid metal nuclear reactors, in-situ processing of fuels, and concentrated suspensions. He applied multiphase dense slurry modeling to the development of a unique non-Newtonian power-law model for multiphase hemodynamics. This established a completely new paradigm for analyzing the migration of blood-borne particulates. This model was used to develop a mechanistic monolayer population balance cell-adhesion model to aid in determining the threshold conditions of atherosclerosis initiation and progression. He was involved with modeling a novel multiphase concept involving chemical water splitting using high temperature steam bubbling into a bath of molten calcium bromide as the first step in the calcium-bromine (Ca-Br) cycle. He is the author of over 150 technical publications (over 50 refereed journal articles and book contributions and over 100 conference papers), over 50 reports, and holds 2 U.S. patents. He contributed significantly to the development of the RETRAN and COMMIX computer programs. He has recently completed a book published by Springer titled "The History of Multiphase Science and Computational Fluid Dynamics a Personal Memoir" and is collaborating on H. Arastoopour, D. Gidaspow, and R. W. Lyczkowski, "Transport Phenomena in Multiphase Systems" Springer, in preparation 2020.
