Zhi Huang
CFD Engineer, FLSmidth Salt Lake City, Inc., will present:
"Designing New Rotors and Stators for Flotation Cells Using CFD"
|
This webinar was one of the highly rated presentations at the SME Annual Meeting earlier this year.
Attendees included engineers responsible for R&D in new product design in the mineral processing industry, those responsible for mathematical modeling of processing circuits, and engineers overseeing first-principles based computer simulations of multiphase flow and mixing equipment and processes.
Attendees will take away the following concepts and new ideas:
- The various CFD procedures that can be used - software, physical models, etc.
- Examples of the use of CFD in next generation flotation machine design in combination with other approaches.
- The challenges ahead for CFD simulation of froth flotation.
These approaches are applicable to any mine schedule modeling framework based upon a constrained process based approach.
Zhi Huang is a CFD Engineer in the R&D department of FLSmidth Salt Lake City. His work focuses on applying first principles based modeling and simulation techniques to understand, design, optimize, and scale up a wide range of mineral processing equipment and processes, including froth flotation (both forced air and selfaspirated machines), solid-liquid separation (thickeners and filters), comminution (stirred media grinding mills), classification (hydrocyclones and reflux classifiers), solvent extraction (mixer-settlers and extraction columns), as well as leaching. Prior to joining FLSmidth, he worked as a CFD engineer at Caterpillar's Tech Center in Peoria, IL, focusing on engine after treatment system development and materials processing simulation. He holds a BSc in Thermal Science & Energy Engineering from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), Hefei, China in 2003 and a MSc in Theoretical & Applied Mechanics from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2006.
