Abstract:A screw reactor is a promising apparatus for decontaminating radioactive graphite waste by uniform gasification under ambient air. However, developing the design equation for a screw reactor is difficult due to the reactor’s fundamentally intricate gas and solid interactions. In this study, we performed three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics simulations to predict and characterize the graphite particles that flow through the screw reactor and are thermally gasified. This was done using the Eulerian sin… Show more
