Application of CFD Modeling in HRSG Evase Design
نویسنده
چکیده
Computational simulation of flow, heat transfer and combustion in a vertical tube heat recovery system generator (HRSG) with a single angel roof, a dual angle roof and an air flow optimized evase are studied. Existing theoretical models for flow and gas combustion [1] are used to predict how the three kinds of roof shapes influence the flue gas and temperature distribution in the whole HRSG System, and particularly the flue gas distribution upstream of first heat exchanger bundles (superheater 3 and reheater 2) and duct burner as well as the temperature distribution downstream of the duct burner. The gas phase conservation equations of momentum, enthalpy and mixture fraction are solved utilizing the k(epsilon) turbulence model. A Finite Rate/Eddy Dissipation model and the P-1 radiation mode are used to predict gas combustion and radiative heat transfer, respectively. The simulation results show the air flow optimized evase not only provides a more uniform velocity profile upstream of the first heat exchanger bundle, but is also able to reduce the pressure drop through the whole HRSG system.

متن کاملCFD Application in 3D flow filed modeling of a large dam reservoir
In the present paper, a 3D numerical model has been applied to predict the flow hydrodynamics around power intakes within the Dez dam reservoir. The Dez dam is a 203 m high, double arch concrete dam which is constructed by Italians in 1962. Since then, sedimentation in reservoirhas continued and since the dam does not have bottom outlet, the reservoir bed level is raising by a rate of about 2.5...
متن کاملComputational fluid dynamics for turbomachinery design
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) probably plays a greater part in the aerodynamic design of turbomachinery than it does in any other engineering application. For many years the design of a modern turbine or compressor has been unthinkable without the help of CFD and this dependence has increased as more of the flow becomes amenable to numerical prediction. The benefits of CFD range from short...
