Numerical Model of the Start-Up Process of a Honeycomb Regenerator

Abstract:

Ceramic honeycomb is a key component of high temperature air combustion (HiTAC) system and the three-dimensional numerical model is established which is for investing unsteady thermal process in honeycomb regenerator. The start-up period of honeycomb was simulated by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software; the outlet temperature were obtained. The work in this paper provides a theory basis and guide to the exploitation and appliance of HTAC system and the results of the numerical calculation can be used as the foundation of engineering design.
