Abstract:

According to the structural features of the vertical preheater, the 2-dimention finite element models are set up for the section of the preheater with different arrangement and diameters for the limestone grains. The situation of gas-solid two-phase flow between the limestone grains and the hot air in the preheater is simulated by the discrete particle model. Based on the heat transfer theory, the convection heat transfer coefficient between the limestone grains and the hot air is deduced by means of the experimental correlation of the air cross-flow tube bundles. On the simulation of the 2-dimention finite element model of the vertical preheater based on the FLOTRAN module of ANSYS, the temperature field, pressure field and velocity field of the limestone grains are obtained. The results show that there is a little change of convection heat transfer coefficient by varying the arrangement of limestone grains. The convection heat transfer coefficient is improved by employing the limestone grains with little diameter. The larger the gap between the grains is, the larger the convection heat transfer coefficient is.
