Design of Feed Distribution System in a Falling Film Distillation Using Cfd

چکیده
This paper is about the analysis 0f the liquid discharge by falling film within a distillation tube. Specifically about some flow rates that can be used in this process, when we talk about film ́s discharge and maintenance. This aim of this paper is to study through simulations in CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) what influence the feeding flow rate has on the film ́s formation, its stability and thickness. This distillation process has low resistance to the liquid flow and high capability of separation, besides a simple construction unity. The commercial code used in order to solve the mathematical modeling was ANSYSY CFX 12.0. The results obtained show that the best results achieved were low feeding flow rates, which provided a rather stable and continuous film and lower values of vapor superficial velocity.

متن کاملImproving Heat Transfer in Falling Film Evaporators in Food Industries
Falling film evaporators, due to their high heat transfer coefficients, low energy loss, rather a low holdup time, and the ability to handle high capacities have broad applications in food industries. Thus, this kind of evaporator is being used in the production of temperature sensitive compounds such as syrups. In this study, through modelling of the falling film evaporator with the use of...
متن کاملCFD Modeling of the Feed Distribution System of a Gas-Solid Reactor
Granular flow simulation using CFD has received a lot of attention in recent years. In such cases, CFD is either, coupled with Discrete Element Method (DEM) techniques for appropriate incorporation of inter-particle collisions, or the Eulerian CFD approach is used in which granular particles are treated as they were fluid. In the present study, a CFD analysis was performed...
