规整波纹填料内气体流动和传质的CFD模拟

为了研究规整填料局部特征单元内流体的流动状况和传质效果,采用计算流体力学的方法对JKB-250Y交叉波纹填料以及增加隔板后的JKB-250Y交叉波纹填料进行了模拟计算比较。结果表明,加入隔板后有效改善了传质的局部均匀性,并且消除了两股气体交叉流动带来的阻力,降低了通道的单位压降。增加隔板后的交叉波纹填料压降比传统交叉波纹填料压降降低20%~50%,增加隔板后的交叉波纹填料传质系数比传统交叉波纹填料传质系数提高约20%,可见提高传质分布的局部均匀性是提高传质效率并且降低阻力的较为有效途径之一。

规整填料内单相流的LDV实验研究

To date, many models have been developed to calculate the flow field in the structured packing by the computational fluid dynamics （CFD） technique, but little experimental work has been carried out to serve the vali-dation of flow simulation. In this work, the velocity profiles of single-phase flow in structured packing are measured at the Reynolds numbers of 20.0, 55.7 and 520.1, using the laser Doppler velocimetry （LDV）. The time-averaged and instantaneous velocities of three components are obtained simultaneously. The CFD simulation is also carried out to numerically predict the velocity distribution within the structured packing. Comparison shows that the flow pattern, velocity distribution and turbulent kinetic energy （for turbulent flow） on the horizontal plane predicted by CFD simulation are in good agreement with the LDV measured data. The values of the x-and z-velocity components are quantitatively well predicted over the plane in the center of the packing, but the predicted y-component is sig-nificantly smaller than the experimental data. It can be concluded that experimental measurement is important for further improvement of CFD model.     

Mass Transfer In Trickle‐Bed Reactors With Structured Packing

An experimental investigation was carried out to examine the fluid dynamic and mass transfer behavior of structured packing, with the liquid and gas phase flowing co‐currently downwards in the column. Liquid to packing mass transfer coefficients for three positions within the pack were measured by an electrochemical method, varying both the liquid and gas loads as well as the physical properties of the liquid phase. Due to the high void fraction of structured packing, much higher liquid flow rates can be used than in traditional particle trickle‐beds. It was found that in the range studied, the gas superficial velocity has no effect on the mass transfer rate and thus, a general mass transfer correlation in terms of liquid Reynolds number only, was developed. Wetted areas and the radial distribution of liquid through the packing element were determined by a colorimetric method. Within the range of liquid flow rates investigated, complete wetting is not achieved, even with the low viscosity solutions. The measured ratios of hydraulic to geometric area, agree reasonably well with values predicted by existing relationships.     

规整填料内气液两相流动与传质的计算传质学模型

Detailed investigation of flow behavior in structured packing distillation columns is of great importance in accurate prediction of process efficiency and development of more efficient and optimal equipment internals. In this study, a three-dimensional two-phase flow model based on VOF method for simulating the hydrodynamics and mass-transfer behavior in a typical representative unit of the structured packing is developed. In the proposed model, the model is used for the closure of turbulent mass transfer equation. By solving the proposed model, the velocity distribution, phase fraction profile and concentration field are obtained. Using these data, the total liquid holdup, the wetted area and the separation efficiency [height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP)] are estimated. For testing the model validation, the simulated HETPs are compared with our previous experimental data obtained in a 150 mm-diameter column containing Mellapak 350Y operating at the pressures of 0.6-1.8 MPa. The compari-son shows that they are in satisfactory agreement, with an average absolute deviation (AAD) of 25.4%.

Liquid distribution and liquid hold-up in modern high capacity packings

In order to model and optimise industrial gas/liquid contactors such as those used for distillation or for post-combustion capture of CO₂, liquid hold-up and liquid distribution have been measured for two modern high capacity packings, a structured packing and a random packing. A gamma-ray tomographic system has been used to obtain liquid flow maps over a cross section of a 400 mm internal diameter column from which liquid hold-up values can be deduced. It is observed that the liquid flow is homogeneously distributed for both packings, the structured packing giving better results. Correlations are proposed to estimate the liquid hold-up, the effect of the liquid flowrate and the liquid viscosity being taken into account. A non-negligible static liquid hold-up is considered for the structured packing, which can be explained by the texture on the packing walls. As long as there is a little effect of the counter current gas, then below the loading point, results can be extrapolated to larger columns.     

Radial liquid distribution in cocurrent two-phase downflow in packed beds

Radial liquid distribution was measured experimentally for cocurrent, two-phase downflow in packed beds. The effects of bed length, water and air flow rates, and type of packing were determined. The experimental data were obtained in the gas-continuous, transition and pulsing trickling-flow regimes. For all finite air rates, the liquid velocity profiles were approximately flat with the maximum average velocity occurring at the center of the packed column. Increasing the air rate increased the center liquid velocity. The gas rate effect was more pronounced in shorter beds. At higher gas rates the liquid rate had less effect on the radial liquid distribution than at lower gas rates. Operation at higher liquid rates resulted in a flatter radial liquid veilocity profile. It was observed that the bed of pellets operated at high liquid rate and low gas rate was unstable. Increasing the bed height increased the stability of the system and a better liquid distribution was obtained. The effects of water flow rate, bed length, and packing type on the shape of the liquid velocity profiles were minor.
