Research summary
AI-generated

Feng Wu's research focuses on the engineering of gas-solid and multiphase reactors, particularly fluidized beds, spouted beds, and downer reactors used in processes like coal pyrolysis, gasification, and flue gas desulfurization. Much of the work combines computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation with experimental testing to understand and improve how particles, gas, and heat move through these industrial reactor systems. The research often aims to design better equipment (such as swirling nozzles or turbulence-inducing structures) to intensify chemical processes and improve energy efficiency.
