Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of Gas Flow Characteristics in a New Type of Scrubber Based on Mechanical Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a new type of vertical scrubber is designed and a computational fluid dynamic analysis of gas flow through the device is presented. The simulation results are obtained by FLUENT 6.3. Through the two-dimension simplification of mist-mat, the resistance characteristic of the wire-mesh is gained. To simulate the gas flow of the scrubber, mist-mat is replaced by porous media. Through the analysis of simulate results, flow characteristic and pressure drop of the scrubber is obtained. Additionally, CFD analysis results show the entrance direction of the gas in vane inlet symmetry plane is benefit to avert severely velocity impulse and scrubber’s pressure drop rises with the growth of the eliminator’s velocity.
