Abstract:
This talk gives a brief overview of mathematical models simulating chemical engineering processes and two-phase flows in computational fluid dynamics. In the first part of the talk, we briefly introduce population balance modeling in chemical and biochemical engineering, especially its applications to crystallization processes and biological cells dynamics. In chemical and pharmaceutical industries, crystallization is used to produce solids from liquids. The process is capable to provide high purity products and offers a potential to adjust the operating conditions for achieving the desired product properties. To enhance the product quality and the process efficiency, it is essential to understand the process and the impact of process variables. The mathematical modeling of the process is helpful to achieve the desired goals and to investigate the effect of different operating conditions. This will be demonstrated by analyzing specific challenging crystallization processes. Furthermore, modeling and simulation of liquid chromatographic process is introduced. This separation process has a wide range of industrial applications, e.g. to produce pharmaceuticals, food ingredients, and fine chemicals. In the second part of the talk, we give a brief overview of mathematical models describing compressible two-phase flows. In two-phase flows two materials of different densities are mixed together. Such flows are encountered in various scientific and engineering fields related to environmental research, chemical engineering processes, nuclear energy and advanced heat transfer systems. The modeling and simulation of such flows are the most challenging tasks in computational fluid dynamics. We summarize our current achievements and list possible future research directions relevant to these fields of research.
