Numerical simulation of smoke plumes from large oil fires

A large eddy simulation (LES) model of smoke plumes generated by large outdoor pool fires is presented. The plume is described in terms of steady-state convective transport by a uniform ambient wind of heated gases and particulate matter introduced into a stably stratified atmosphere by a continuously burning fire. The Navier-Stokes equations in the Boussinesq approximation are solved numerically with a constant eddy viscosity representing dissipation on length scales below the resolution limits of the calculation. The effective Reynolds number is high enough to permit direct simulation of the large-scale mixing over two to three orders of magnitude in length scale. Particulate matter, or any non-reacting combustion ;product, is represented by Lagrangian particles which are advected by the fire-induced flow field. Background atmospheric motion is described in terms of the angular fluctuation of the prevailing wind, and represented by random perturbations to the mean particle paths. Results of the model are compared with two sets of field experiments.     

Toluene vapor capture by activated carbon particles in a dual gas-solid cyclone system

Capturing of odorous compounds such as toluene vapor by a particulate-activated carbon adsorbent was investigated in a gas-solid cyclone, which is one type of mobile beds. The test cyclone was early modified with the post cyclone (PoC) and a spiral flow guide to the vortex finder. The proposed process may contribute to the reduction of gases and dust from industrial exhausts, especially when dealing with a low concentration of odorous elements and a large volume of dust flow. In this device, the toluene capturing efficiency at a 400 ppm concentration rose up to 77.4% when using activated carbon (AC) particles with a median size of 27.03 μm. A maximum 96% of AC particles could be collected for reuse depending on the size and flow rate. The AC regenerated via thermal treatment showed an adsorption potential up to 66.7% throughout repeated tests.

Implications: VOCs and particles have been of interest both in industrial field and public indoor spaces. In this study, a post cyclone (PoC) that utilizes a residual vortex from the mother cyclone was modified by inserting a flow guide and was applied to capture toluene vapor. The device of modified post-cyclone system can be used effectively in simultaneous treatment of gas-solid flow.     

Numerical investigation of the flow profiles in the electrically enhanced cyclone

A numerical model for simulation of the electrohydrodynamic flow in an electrically enhanced cyclone is presented. A finite element approach was applied to solve the coupled equations for the positive corona-induced electric field. Three-dimensional simulations of gas flow were carried using Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations including the Reynolds stress model and the electrohydrodynamic effect. Numerical results show that the change in the flow profile because of the influence of the corona-induced electric field is apparent when the inlet flow rate is low but is negligible at higher flow rates.     

新型离心式脱硫塔气液两相流数值模拟

利用FLUENT软件和SIMPLE算法对新型旋流脱硫塔的气液两相流场进行了数值模拟。计算中气相采用了RSM湍流模型,颗粒相采用了Lagrange坐标系下的随机轨道模型。分析结果表明,气相流场具有强旋流特性;喷射液滴的直径、喷淋量和烟气流速影响其在塔内的分布:喷射液滴粒径越大、喷射量越小、烟气流速越大,入口段降温越少;塔体上方截面平均浓度随液滴粒径的增加而降低,随液气比的增加而增加,随烟气流速的增加会先增加至最高值然后降低。喷淋液滴在其他运行参数不变时,平均粒径范围为0.5～1 mm,会对进口烟气起到较好的净化与降温的作用,并使塔体上方喷淋液滴在截面z=4.15 m处浓度分布均匀且覆盖率高;在保证液滴粒径较小时,通过降低烟气流速或增加喷淋量可提高液滴喷淋覆盖率,使得烟气与喷淋充分接触。计算得到的气相流场分布与实测值吻合较好,证明了数学模型的合理性,为进一步优化分离器结构提供了可靠依据。

Numerical calculation of flow and stack-gas concentration fluctuation around a cubical building

A numerical simulation model was developed to predict the instantaneous concentration fluctuation of a plume and applied to stack-gas diffusion around a cubical building. The flow field, including an instantaneous velocity component, was predicted using the large eddy simulation (LES) method in the developed numerical model. Then, the instantaneous concentration fluctuation was predicted using the obtained unsteady flow field. Concentration was calculated using the finite difference method, in which the LES is expanded for concentration, and the puff method, in which small volumes of the tracer gas are divided and combined according to the calculation mesh sizes. In order to avoid numerical viscous effects, a puff method and finite difference method were applied separately in the regions near and far from the stack-gas release point, respectively. Then, the flow field around a cubical building and the diffusion of stack-gas, emitted from an elevated point source at an upstream position of the building, were calculated using the model mentioned above. Numerical calculation results were compared with those obtained in wind tunnel experiments in which concentration fluctuation was measured using high-response flame ionization detectors. Although there were some discrepancies in the flow field between the calculated results and those of wind tunnel experiments, e.g., the calculated windward length of a cavity region behind the building, the calculated mean velocity and turbulent intensity showed good agreement with those of the wind tunnel experiments. Furthermore, the calculated concentration fluctuation showed good agreement with that in the wind tunnel, not only regarding the features of fluctuating concentration signals, but also statistic quantities, viz., mean concentration, fluctuation intensity and high-concentration values.     

Size and Concentration Measurements of Particles Produced in Commercial Chromium Plating Processes

Abstract

Optical measurements of particle size and concentration were made at the chromium plating tank and exhaust system at a commercial hexavalent chromium plating facility. Particles were examined at three locations in the exhaust system: 1) directly at the hexavalent chromium plating bath surface, 2) at the exit of a cyclone separator located in the exhaust system approximately three to four meters downstream of the bath, and 3) in the exhaust stack, downstream of the induced draft fan and all abatement devices. Particle diameters at the bath surface ranged from 0.3 to 25 μm. Downstream of the cyclone exit and mesh pad filters, particle top sizes were approximately 5 and 0.7 mm, respectively. On a mass basis, the collection efficiency of all abatement devices was 99.997%. Assuming that droplets in the flow consist primarily of water and chromium, correcting the total particle mass flow against water content gives a chromium emission rate of 64,000 μg/hr, which compares favorably with a value of 77,000 μg/hr measured with EPA methods. This initial agreement, which should be validated through additional measurements over a broad range of flow conditions, raises the possibility of continuous monitoring for chromium metal emissions using particle size/mass as a surrogate.
