CFD Simulation on Solid Suspension with Continuous Operation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of this work is to investigate the solid concentration distribution in a DTB crystallizer under continuous operation. The effects of mixing intensity and product removal location on solid concentration distribution in the crystallizer were studied by CFD simulation with multiphase model for different sizes of particles. The results showed that the particle distribution in a crystallizer was dependent on the size of the particles and the mixing intensity. However, the product removal location did not significantly affect particle size distribution in the crystallizer under the studied conditions.
