Simulation-based study on two modes tesla-valve type reactor for chemical looping process on gas-solid fluidization

This study utilizes CPFD simulations to evaluate a Tesla valve-type reactor for chemical looping processes, revealing that while forward and reverse modes generally exhibit fluidization dead zones that can be mitigated by optimizing gas velocity, bed-to-particle ratios, and purge configurations, a reverse operating mode at 20 m/s uniquely eliminates stagnant regions by directing bed material along the longest flow path.

Robust Feasible-Domain Modeling for Resource-Constrained Spaceborne Heterogeneous High-Performance Computing

This paper presents a robust, reproducible feasible-domain modeling workflow for spaceborne heterogeneous high-performance computing that integrates multi-constraint screening (including timing, memory, power, thermal, and reliability) to identify optimal task mappings, demonstrating through synthetic case studies that robust selection significantly reduces makespan and eliminates deadline violations under perturbation with only a marginal energy trade-off compared to nominal energy-optimized approaches.
