  Influence of the lime slurry droplet spectrum on the efficiency of semi-dry flue gas desulfurization
  journal article in Web of Science
  A numerical model based on computational fluid dynamics is presented to predict the efficiency of a semi-dry flue gas desulfurization process. The Euler-Lagrange particle tracking method is used to predict both evaporation and mass transfer between the flue gas and the lime slurry droplets. The overall desulfurization process is split into two periods, i.e. the constant-rate and the falling-rate period, during which the fundamental chemical reaction between sulfur dioxide and calcium hydroxide is modeled. The absorption efficiency is calculated for different spray characteristics, taking into account different size spectra of the lime slurry droplets characterized by different standard deviations for a constant mass mean diameter d50 of 25. The results are compared with published experiments and show excellent agreement as well as a significant role of the spray characteristics in the FGD efficiency.

  Efficiency of desulphurization process in a flue gas absorber depends strongly on flow patterns of the continuous gas phase and interaction with water slurry phase that is injected into the absorber. The main task is to ensure that undesulphurized flue gas moves optimally to where a high concentration of water slurry in the form of droplets "flies". In the paper, a model for desulphurization process is presented.

  A numerical investigation is carried out for turbulent droplet-laden flow of saturated steam produced in a steam generator (SG) that feeds steam turbine (ST) through a long and multi-bend steam piping. The main purpose of the study is to analyze deposition of droplets that form a wall film in the piping system. Commercial CFD code StarCD is used for the solution of turbulent flow field of droplet-laden steam. Turbulence is treated using k-omega model of turbulence. Wall film formation is solved by additional conservation equations. Two tasks were performed: parametric study of the deposition in a 90 degrees elbow positioned with different orientation and the deposition in a more complex piping system. This system starts with outlets from steam generator with five mouthpieces leading to a collector pipe and connecting the steam piping leading to a steam turbine. The steam piping consists of three straight segments of pipes and two 90 degrees elbows in the total length 17 m. The diameter of the steam piping is 0.425 m. Results of the simulations show where droplets deposit and where a liquid separator should be placed to drain away the water film and to avoid droplets from entering the steam turbine.
