Understanding particle-laden flows for clean high temperature processes

该项目旨在了解和提供计算设计工具，用于新技术中复杂的传热和传质过程，这些新技术需要高温处理具有低净二氧化碳（CO2）排放的矿物，无论是否使用集中的太阳热能。需要这些模型来实现低成本的扩大规模和开发正在开发的新技术，因为它们在颗粒负载流的制度下运行，目前的数值设计工具是不可靠的。该项目将支持澳大利亚实现其温室气体排放目标所需的新技术的开发，并利用全球对低碳密集型金属和其他增值产品的预期需求。

This project aims to understand and provide computational design tools for the complex heat and mass transfer processes within the new technologies that needed for the high temperature processing of minerals with low net carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, both with and without the use of concentrated solar thermal energy. These models are needed to achieve low-cost scale-up and development of the new technologies under development, because they operate in regimes of particle-laden flow for which present numerical design tools are unreliable. The project will underpin the development of new technologies that are needed for Australia to meet its greenhouse emissions targets and to capitalise on the anticipated global demand for low-carbon-intensive metals and other value-added products.
