Numerical Simulation for the Optimization of the Angle of the Velocity of the Hydrogen in the High Performance Hydrogen Bell-Type Annealers

Abstract:

The flow of the hydrogen has played an important role in the heat exchange in the inner bell. In this research, we have studied the volume distribution of the hydrogen in the inner bell through numerical simulation method, and we get the volume distribution law of the hydrogen when we change the axial angle and the tangential angle of the velocity of the hydrogen flowing into the inner bell while we do not change the speed of the hydrogen. This research could provide theory reference for the design and application of the structure of the coil base of the high performance hydrogen bell-type annealers later.
