Barracuda v14

Barracuda v14 performs simulation of fluidized beds with full thermodynamics and chemical kinetics, providing 3-D modeling of chemical, thermal, and flow dynamics in gas-solid and liquid-solid systems. It operates at lab scale, pilot scale and full production scale. This release includes: the Chemistry Module, which models homogenous and heterogeneous chemical reactions inside fluidized bed reactors; the Liquid Injection Module, which simulates liquid spray coating of particles; and the Wear Model, which allows wall wear to be reported on an annualized basis. The software is useful for major oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, and power equipment manufacturers for simulating, understanding, and optimizing the operation of fluidized systems.
