Numerical Simulation of Condenser Throat Combining with Low-Pressure Exhaust Hood for 600MW Thermal Power Unit

Abstract:

In order to obtain the more real condition of the flow field at condenser throat the flow field of condenser throat is numerical simulated by the FLUENT commercial software, alone or coupling with the low-pressure exhaust hood. The results show that the flow field of condenser throat is strongly influenced by low-pressure exhaust hood, the frustum’s diffuse-angle, the low-pressure heater and the injection of the exhaust steam from the small turbine. The velocity distribution at the outlet of the throat isn’t uniform. The calculation result of combined model is also different from the single calculation result of condenser throat. Combined numerical simulation obtains more reasonable result.
