This project aims to develop a fast, multi-view predictive approach for transforming or upgrading conventional pyrochemical processes. It integrates global reactor performance and local detailed phenomena under multiple constraints, tackling key challenges in feasibility, design and optimisation of reactor redesign for transforming carbon-intensive pyrochemical processes to net zero. The expected outcome includes new knowledge and a new approach featuring multi-view and specific plausible feasibility windows for decarbonising pyrochemical reactors. This method will drive advancements in next-generation low-carbon industrial processes, offering scalable solutions to Australia’s and global environmental challenges and the energy crisis.","funding-current":498763.00,"funding-at-announcement":494678,"investigators-current":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Yiran","familyName":"Liu","roleName":"Discovery Early Career Researcher Award","roleCode":"DECRA","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0001-5437-1710 "}],"investigators-at-announcement":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Yiran","familyName":"Liu","roleName":"Discovery Early Career Researcher Award","roleCode":"DECRA","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0001-5437-1710 "}],"organisations-current":[{"organisationName":"The University of Western Australia","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"WA"}],"organisations-at-announcement":[{"organisationName":"The University of Western Australia","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"WA"}],"field-of-research":[{"isPrimary":false,"code":"401211","name":"Multiphysics Flows (Incl.

This project aims to develop a novel multi-view method for understanding the multiple constraints and their synergistic effect, determining the feasible operating window, optimising overall performance and realising fast prediction for in situ adjustment.\nThis project is part of the move to develop new clean energy pyro-chemical reactors and export markets for Australia in the national interest of value in resources, including metals and fuels, transforming heavy industries to renewables and low-emission and enabling capabilities. \nBy providing a solid fundamental scientific foundation, this project will enhance Australian competitiveness in research capabilities and marketing capabilities, which will attract top-tier students and professionals to the Australian research pipeline to advance high-quality research and education in the field in Australia globally."}}}
