Energy consumption and pollution control in combustion/high temperature processes

Energy consumption and pollution control are two main drivers in all combustion/high temperature processes such as those in furnaces, heaters, ovens, dryers and rotary kilns. Simulation has a large role to play in reducing energy consumption while meeting regulatory pollution-control requirements, and can significantly improve the bottom-line of the process, refining, chemical, glass and steel industries.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How thermal and combustion engineers can benefit from using simulation to optimize operating conditions and designs
• How straightforward it is to set up geometry, a reasonable mesh and adequate physics in order perform simulations and design explorations with Simcenter STAR-CCM+®
• How the Multiphysics approach in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ can be used to address the challenges associated with:
  • Combustion and pollutants
  • Acoustics and flame dynamics
  • Conjugate heat transfer
  • Optimizing operating conditions using rigorous approaches

Who should attend:

• Thermal engineers/Furnace engineers and managers who want to troubleshoot or optimize combustion and thermal processing equipment--this event will help you understand the applicability of deploying simulation to achieve these objectives
• Combustion engineers who are already using CFD in engineering work flow--this session will demonstrate the strengths of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ meshing, workflow and the latest physics models for some of the most challenging mixing problems in the industry

Speakers:

• Dr. Zhi G. Xu, Head of Technology, Kiln Flame Systems
• Dr. Niveditha Krishnamoorthy, Technical Specialist, Combustion and Reacting Flows, Siemens PLM Software
