One-dimensional BFB reactor model

:warning: This project is a work in progress. :warning:

This repository contains a dynamic and a steady-state 1D model of a bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) reactor. At the moment, the dynamic model is in the dynamic folder while the steady-state model is in the steady folder.

Usage

Use the commands shown below to run each model.

# Run the dynamic model
$ python dynamic examples/params.json --run

# Plot results from the dynamic model
$  python dynamic examples/params.json --plot

# Run the steady-state model
$ python steady

Reference

This code is based on the one-dimensional fluidized bed gasification model discussed in the Agu et al. 2019 paper.
