DRYING OF CLAY. II RHEOLOGICAL MODELISATION AND SIMULATION OF PHYSICAL PHENOMENA

ABSTRACT

The present study proposes the development of a complete mathematical modelling transfer phenomena involving at the same time heat, mass and momentum transfer during the drying process of clay. Clay is a generic example of colloid materials forming particulate gels. That can be considered as bi-constituent, homogeneous, isotropic, and highly deformable. The model was numerically solved by the finite difference method and validated by comparison of the numerical results with a previous set of experiments data. The simulation has allowed the determination of spatio-temporal evolution within the solid of different variables: temperature fields, moisture contents, displacement, deformation and stresses. The parametric sensibility has been analyzed in the case of thermophysical properties and the external heat transfer coefficient. Various values of external conditions have been analyzed.     

MODELING AND SIMULATION OF MEE SYSTEM USED IN THE SUGAR INDUSTRY

In this work, a generalized steady-state mathematical model has been developed for simulation of the multiple effect evaporator (MEE) system, used in the Indian sugar industry. The developed model is capable of handling exhaust steam (saturated/superheated) inputs in more than one effect, vapor bleeding from desired effects, heat loss from each effect, and variations in boiling point rise as well as specific heat capacity with combination, heat transfer coefficient through external empirical correlations, and condensate flashing. The developed model has been solved by the globally convergent method. The results of present investigations have been validated against the data obtained from the Indian sugar industry with seven effects. The predicted exit liquor concentration, vapor body temperature, and amount of vapor bleed from each effect shows close agreement with the industry data within a maximum error band of ±2%. Further, a correlation has been developed for the prediction of overall heat transfer coefficient (OHTC) of each effect. The developed model can be further used to improve the steam economy of the MEE system by the incorporation of flash vapors from condensate stream.

THE EFFECT OF FREE STREAM CONCENTRATION ON HEAT AND BINARY MASS TRANSFER WITH THERMODYNAMIC COUPLING IN CONVECTION ON A ROTATING DISC†

Simultaneous heat and mass transfer, which arises from injecting a gas (helium or hydrogen) from or through the solid surface into a flowing external stream, has been studied for a rotating disc geometry. The effects of concentration levels of the injected gas in the external stream on the thermodynamic coupling in the presence of centrifugal force have been investigated over a wide range of T_w/T_e.

Boundary layer equations for heat and mass transfer were solved numerically. Exact and linearized approximate solutions were obtained. The results have shown that the thermal diffusion effect on mass transfer becomes increasingly important as the free stream concentration increases and as T_w/T_e departs from unity. The diffusion thermo effect on heat transfer was found to be the most important when the free stream concentration is zero and as T_w/T_e approaches unity.     

HYDRODYNAMICS AND HEAT TRANSFER OF LIQUID FLUIDIZED BED SYSTEMS

After some genera] remarks about liquid/solid fluidization, various aspects of liquid fluidization hydrodynamics and heat transfer have been analyzed on a coherent basis. For each of these cases, the state-of-the-art has been reported, together with some indication of areas that deserve further attention. Major emphasis is placed on the hydrodynamic behavior of fluidized beds, heat transfer mechanisms from surface-to-bed and on the effect of various parameters on the type of fluidization and heat transfer coefficient. This review covers the various correlations developed over the years for the prediction of bed voidage, heat transfer coefficient and optimum conditions of liquid/solid fluidized beds.

Bifurcation Analysis of the Fluidized Bed Polyethylene Reactor with Internal Cooler

A mathematical model has been developed to simulate a gas‐phase ethylene polymerization reactor with internal cooler. The model was analyzed to determine the effects of reactor operating conditions on dynamics and stability. The reactor model employed assumed that both the gas and polymer phase in the reactor are well mixed. Comparing the present model to one with external heat exchanger confirms that, in either form, gas‐phase polyethylene reactors are prone to show unstable steady states, limit cycles and excursions toward unacceptably high temperature steady states. It was also observed that, with internal cooler, minor design changes in the cooler area available for heat transfer and in the inlet temperature of the coolant have a significant effect on the low stable steady state range of catalyst feed rates. With internal cooler, the suitable operating range increased with the increase in the area available for heat transfer. This effect is insignificant in the case of a reactor with external heat exchanger. Manipulating the reactor coolant inlet temperature and/or gas velocity can increase the stability range in the reactor with internal cooler as against one with external heat exchanger.     

Solid effects on hydrodynamics and heat transfer in an external loop airlift reactor

The effect of a solid presence on global hydrodynamic parameters and heat transfer in an external loop airlift reactor has been experimentally investigated. Results obtained in both two- and three-phase flow are presented in this study. Two different external loop airlift reactor sizes have been used and local hydrodynamic characteristics including local gas hold-up and bubble velocity have been obtained in two-phase flow. Optical and ultrasound probes have been used to obtain this information, respectively. It was found that an increase of solid hold-up leads to a decrease of liquid velocity and heat transfer coefficient. Measured in a two- and three-phase reactor using a horizontal-heating probe, a correlation of the average gas hold-up and heat transfer coefficient is proposed. Correlation parameters are identified in homogeneous and heterogeneous flow regimes, which have been derived from the gas slip velocity concept. The experimental liquid velocity and gas hold-up in the riser have been represented in a satisfactory way by a hydrodynamic model, either in the absence or in the presence of solid particles.     

INTENSIFICATION OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CHANNELS OF PLATE CONDENSERS

An analysis is presented for the main factors which control the intensity of vapor condensation in plate condenser channels, such as heat transfer both in single-phase stream of the coolant and in the condensate film, heat and mass transfer in gas-vapor phase, thermal resistance of fouling at heat transfer surface and pressure drop in condensing stream. On the basis of a relationship between the heat transfer and the wall shear stress, an approximate equation is obtained for calculating heat transfer from the pressure drop data. For calculation of heat transfer in condensate film during the condensation of high speed vapor, an analogy between heat and momentum transport has been used. An analysis of fouling deposition on heat transfer surface has been performed and an equation is presented for calculating the reduction of the fouling thermal resistance as compared with shell and lube heat exchangers. Experimental data are in good agreement with theoretical results. These data have shown the improvement of all the mentioned factors, which determine the intensity of the whole condensation process compared to the same factors in shell and tube condensers. Under the equal conditions, the required area of the heat transfer surface is reduced by 1.6 to 3 limes for the plate condenser, as compared with conventional shell and tube units.

Autoclave manufacturing of thick composites

Autoclave manufacturing of thermoset composites is determined mainly by heat transfer phenomena. As a matter of fact, the consolidation of composite laminates takes place by the progress of the polymerization, which is activated thermally. The design and control of the autoclave process relies on the capability to manage the relationship between the temperature-pressure cycle of the heat carrier fluid and the temperature distribution through the manufacturing part. In particular, in industrial cases, the main limitations reside in the correct evaluation of the local convective heat transfer conditions through the autoclave and in the evaluation of the local thermal inertia arising from the bagging-tooling system. In this study, the autoclave manufacturing of thick laminates has been addressed by modeling the heat transport phenomena occurring through the composite, the bagging and the tooling system. A new methodology for the evaluation of the energy transfer regimes has been proposed accounting for the heat fluxes from the bag and the tool side, the temperature through-the-thickness gradients and the heat generated by the resin polymerization reaction. The proposed approach enables the prediction of the temperature history of the autoclave assembly without knowledge of the effective thermal inertia of the two external layers, which could be difficult to evaluate owing to possible deformations of the bag during the manufacturing cycle and nonuniform shape of the metallic tool along the part. Experimental data from industrial autoclave runs have been collected and analyzed to validate the method.
