Effects of Flue Gas Inlet Structure on the Flow Field Characteristics of Multi-Stage Liquid Column Scrubber

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the numerical model of multi-stage liquid column scrubber was established. The flow field of liquid column scrubber with different inlet structure was respectively simulated by a commercial CFD code, Fluent. Considering the distribution characteristics of static pressure and velocity in the scrubber, this inlet type, single horizontal gas inlet with a notch at the bottom, is regarded as the most reasonable structure. On one hand, that structure has uniform distribution of static pressure. On the other hand, the velocity profile of its field presents saddle shape, i.e. the low central velocity exists between two peaks, which could contribute to weakening wall-flow phenomenon and obtaining uniform gas-liquid distribution.
