Synopsis

The story of multiphase science and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has never been documented heretofore. It is a new and by now a rather robust science and one which must be told how it came to be before the founders and key contributors pass on. If any one of an amazing chain of incidents, and coincidences had never happened, multiphase science and CFD would never have evolved and the story this book tells would never have materialized. This book presents my personal recollection tracing the most signal events in the history of the initiation, development, and propagation phases of multiphase science and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) which initiated in 1970.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Dimitri Gidaspow obtained his B.Ch.E. (cum laude) from the City College of New York, M.Ch.E. from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, and Ph.D. from the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). He is Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering, IIT (emeritus). Before joining IIT he was Adjunct Assistant Professor and then Full Professor at the Institute of Gas Technology (IGT). He is Principal Advisor of 65 Ph.D. students and many Masters students. His Industrial experience began at Air Products. While at IGT he worked on (1) fuel cells, receiving an award from the Marshall Space Flight Center, and (2) desiccant air conditioning. In each of these fields he authored many peer-reviewed publications. He served as consultants for the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) at Aerojet Nuclear Company in Idaho, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, Energy Research Corp., Argonne National Laboratory, the Department of Energy, United Technology Corporation (UTC), EXXON, Westinghouse, Electric, Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute (IITRI), MOBIL, UOP, and Polysilicon Corp. His major professional activities include Papers Chairman for AIChE Heat Transfer and Energy Conversion Division, Editor of "Heat Transfer - Research and Design" AIChE Heat Transfer Symposium Series Volume 70, No. 138 (1974), Program Chairman for the Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference and editor of a 2 volume set of proceedings for the American Chemical Society (ACS), Chairman of the AIChE multiphase flow committee (7g), Particle Technology Forum (PTC) chair at AIChE meetings, and multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tutorials. He holds 10 US patents over 200 refereed publications (over 10,000 citations in Google Scholar). He is the author of four books: 1. Dimitri Gidaspow, "Multiphase Flow and Fluidization, Continuum and Kinetic Theory Description", Academic Press,1994. 2. Dimitri Gidaspow and Veeraya Jiradilok, " Computational Techniques. The Multiphase CFD Approach to Fluidization and Green Energy Technologies" Nova Science Publishers, 2009. 3. Hamid Arastoopour, Dimitri Gidaspow and Emad Abbasi, "Computational Transport Phenomena of Fluid-Particle Systems" Springer, 2016, and 4. H. Arastoopour, D. Gidaspow, and R. W. Lyczkowski, "Transport Phenomena in Multiphase Systems" Springer, in preparation 2020. His awards include: AIChE Donald Q. Kern Award delivering the Lecture: "Hydrodynamics of Fluidization and Heat Transfer: Supercomputer Modeling", (Appl. Mech. Rev. 39, No. 1, 1-23, 1986), NSF Creativity Award, Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, IIT Alumni awards, AIChE Flour-Daniel Lectureship Award in Fluidization., Ernst W. Thiele Award, Sigma Xi award., Thomas Baron award, Festschrift (I&EC Research, 49, No.11, June 2, 2010), and PTF award for lifetime achievements. Robert W. Lyczkowski received his B.Ch.E in from Cleveland State University, Fenn School of Engineering and M.S. in Gas Engineering and Ph.D. in Gas Technology from Illinois Institute of Technology. He worked for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Energy Incorporated, Goodyear Atomic Corp., Hooker Chemical Corp., and as a faculty member at Illinois Institute of Technology. He has been involved for over forty years in chemical and nuclear engineering applications of his multiphase theory and computational fluid dynamics expertise especially in the areas of heat transfer and energy conversion to develop models that are now used by industry world-wide to design various two-phase flow equipment. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and a recipient of the prestigious Ernst W. Thiele Award. Most of Dr. Lyczkowski's career was spent as a Chemical Engineer in the Energy Systems Division at Argonne National Laboratory. He was involved with computer modeling of fluidized beds and dense slurries. His expertise is in the areas of multiphase flow and heat transfer, ...
