The turbulence was modelled using two different turbulence models: a standard low-Reynolds-number k-ε turbulence ChanHsieh-Chen (CHC) model and a modified Malin’s turbulence model. Simulations were performed with fluid viscosity depending both on the shear rate as well as on the temperature. However, according to the simulation results, as long as the inlet fluid velocity is maintained sufficiently high (turbulent flow), the occurrence of fluid solidification is not significantly affected by the viscosity dependence on the temperature. All turbulence models show fluid solidification on the pipe walls, and not inside the pipe itself. The standard CHC model shows more pipe wall zones that are solidified, while the modified Malin’s turbulence model shows a more diffusive behavior. The latter model has an effect on the velocity distribution across the pipeline in such a way that the fluid flow between the pipelines become more evenly distributed. The simulation results of pipe insulation and liquid flow rate, on the fluid solidification were used to give recommendations of improvements to avoid blockages in the transportation pipelines in the industrial process. According to the simulation results, the use of pipe insulation can minimize the occurrence of fluid solidification on the pipe walls.","PeriodicalId":350464,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 59th Conference on imulation and Modelling (SIMS 59), 26-28 September 2018, Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway","volume":"16 Suppl 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131071466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In animals studies, it is observed that TCS in rats has adverse effects on the endocrine function and thyroid hormone homeostasis, and intensify antibiotic resistance. In human studies, significant levels of TCS are detected in human plasma and breast milk. In this study, a Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic or Toxicokinetic (PBPK/TK) model is developed to describe the concentration of triclosan in human organs after exposure through the skin (dermal) or orally. Several studies have been conducted on toxicokinetics of TCS, but there is a lack of information on parameters for PBPK models. In this paper, focus is on finding parameters for TCS to be used in the PBPK model. In a first case, the PBPK model was based on data for TCS and the structurally related chemical Bisphenol A (BPA), in a second case, partition coefficients were found using Poulin’s method. The simulations were carried out using MATLAB, and the results for the two cases are compared.","PeriodicalId":350464,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 59th Conference on imulation and Modelling (SIMS 59), 26-28 September 2018, Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway","volume":"313 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133315548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simulations were carried out for incompressible, turbulent, and constant property air flow in the steady state condition. The results showed that increasing the number of occupants, while Archimedes number was constant, would increase the throw length of the incoming cold jet leading to an overall lower temperature profile for the case with five occupants.","PeriodicalId":350464,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 59th Conference on imulation and Modelling (SIMS 59), 26-28 September 2018, Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128295980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is common to operate granulation plants below their maximum design capacity, and in many cases, periodic instabilities may also occur. From a process control and optimization point of view, it is desirable to develop a dynamic model that can show the dominating dynamics of a granulation process and can be used for design of optimal operation of the granulation plant. In this paper, a dynamic model of a drum granulator is developed using population balance (PB). Different simulation scenarios are used to analyze various granulation mechanisms that are characteristic to drum granulators. Simulation results show that for the drum granulator, the particle agglomeration has a greater impact on the change in particle size distribution (PSD) compared to the particle growth due to layering. In addition, coarser particles are produced when a sizedependent agglomeration kernel is used in the granulator model. For combined processes, i.e., processes where the particle growth due to layering and agglomeration are considered simultaneously, coarser particles with a wider PSD are obtained with the size-dependent agglomeration kernel.","PeriodicalId":350464,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 59th Conference on imulation and Modelling (SIMS 59), 26-28 September 2018, Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125911141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CFD simulation of fluidized beds is still challenging compared to singlephase systems and needs extensive validation. Multiphase particle-in-cell is a recently developed lagrangian modeling technique and this work is devoted to analyze the sensitivity of grid size, time step, and model parameters, which are the essences of accurate results. Barracuda VR 17.1.0 commercial CFD package was used in this study. 500μm sand particles and air was used as the bed material and fluidization gas respectively. Five different grids, having 27378, 22176, 16819, 9000 and 6656 computational cells were analysed, where five different time steps of 0.05, 0.01, 0.005, 0.001 and 0.0005 were used for each grid. One velocity step was maintained for 8 seconds. The bed pressure drop at packed bed operation was high for simulations with reduced time steps while equal pressure drops were observed during fluidization for all time steps. Time steps of 0.0005s and 0.001s and 0.005s produced equal result of 0.15 m/s for minimum fluidization velocity, irrespective of the grid size. The results from time steps of 0.05 and 0.01 are converged to the results from time steps of 0.005 and 0.001 by increasing simulation time per one velocity step.","PeriodicalId":350464,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 59th Conference on imulation and Modelling (SIMS 59), 26-28 September 2018, Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123796570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fuzzy set systems provide a good basis for understandable models for decomposed systems. Data-based methodologies are suitable for developing these adaptive applications via the following steps: variable analysis, linear models and intelligent extensions.

The idea of the digital twin is not new but recent changes in information technology make implementation of digital twins a natural next step in the application of simulation technologies. Simulation practitioners will find that their models are increasingly embedded in complex systems that combine simulations with operational data to solve a business problem. However, the successful adoption of this approach is challenging. This paper asks the question: “How can digital twins be made sustainable, maintainable and useful?”. We focus primarily on the development of twins in the oil and gas industry. Most academic work in this area has been done in the manufacturing industries. We review this literature and propose a simple model of digital twins. This allows us to identify challenges with current implementations and propose a research agenda that will allow future twins to be sustainable, maintainable and usable.","PeriodicalId":350464,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 59th Conference on imulation and Modelling (SIMS 59), 26-28 September 2018, Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway","volume":"-1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123401947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
