Dynamic Flowsheet Simulation of Solids Processes

Abstract

Dynamic particulate process models are to be derived within the framework of dynamic flowsheet modeling and simulation (FSS). In the contribution FSS is developed for the separation processes of solid particles from a fluid resp. gas. Potential applications of the dynamic simulation environment of particle separation are for instance in the analysis and design of the dynamic process behavior in the purification of exhaust gases (for example to reduce emissions from combustion processes) but also in the production of particle layers with defined properties, as occur in the powder coating of surfaces.
