Analysis of Flow in Power Plant Flue via Fluent Simulations

Article Preview

Abstract:

The gas flow status including velocity and pressure in the rectangular gas duct (before or after) electrostatic precipitator of a power plant were simulated using Fluent software. The grid accuracy which is required by simulation has been determined then the gas flow status has been analyzed through the comparison between numerical simulation results and empirical calculation results. The results show that flues inner supporting structures are the main factor of gas pressure drops and outlet velocity distrubution.
