The Numerical Investigation of Configuration Improvement on Gas Distributor in a Hydrogenated Reactor

Article Preview

Abstract:

Gas distributor is of vital significance to the stability of hydrogenation reaction. The distribution performance of original style was studied with CFD numerical simulation method and an improved distributor was proposed in this paper. Compared with the original style, the new structure overcame the center-manifold phenomenon. The velocity distribution of the new distributor at evaluation plane was more uniform and pressure drop was smaller. The distribution performance of the new distributor was better, and the improved structure of the new distributor was obtained through further investigation, which will provide instructional information for industry application.
