Numerical Simulation of Internal Flow Field in Blast Furnace Slag Dry Granulating Device

Abstract:

In this paper, CFD numerical simulation method was adopted to study the internal flow field of experimental dry granulating device of blast furnace slag and to research the impact of equipment structure and wind speed on cooling effectiveness. Main content included the internal flow field uniformity under different blade type and number of inlets. The results showed that the internal flow field in strip-blades device was more uniform than fan-shaped blades device. With the increase of air inlets quantity, the internal flow field in device became more uniform and stable, especially when there were 8 air inlets in the equipment.
