The deflector and the rod bank are commonly used to optimize flue gas distribution in the original spray tower (OST) of a wet flue gas desulfurization system (WFGD). In this paper, the internal optimization mechanism of the deflector desulfurization spray tower (DST) and the rod bank desulfurization spray tower (RBST) are studied. Based on the Euler–Lagrange method, the standard k-ε turbulence model, an SO2 absorption model and a porous media model, the numerical simulation of the desulfurization spray tower is carried out with the verification of the model rationality. The results show that there are gas-liquid contact intensification effects in DST and RBST. Compared with OST, gas-liquid contact intensification enhances the heat and mass transfer effects of DST and RBST. The temperature difference between inlet and outlet of flue gas increased by 3.3 K and the desulfurization efficiency of DST increased by 1.8%; the pressure drop decreased by 37 Pa. In RBST, the temperature difference between the flue gas inlet and outlet increased by 5.3 K and the desulfurization efficiency increased by 3.6%; the pressure drop increased by 33 Pa.

Abstract In this study, a numerical analysis of turbulent flow heat and mass transfer in the cross-flow transport membrane condenser (TMC) based heat exchange was carried out. The heat exchanger under investigation was designed to recover both sensible and latent heat due to transport of heat and mass through a nanoporous ceramic membrane in the bundle of tubes of the heat exchanger. The shear stress transport SST k-ω turbulence model was used to model the turbulent flow of the flue gas mixture. The condensation rate of the water vapor from the flue gas were calculated using a mixed condensation model. The mixed model was based on the capillary condensation and wall condensation in the membrane tube. The numerical study was focused on the investigation of the impact of the turbulence intensity of the flue gas at various inlet conditions, such as Reynolds numbers and temperatures, on the heat and mass transfer and pressure drop characteristics. The numerical results were validated against the experimental results reported in the literature. Different tube diameters were used in the simulation, with the Reynolds number varied from 3000 to 10000. The results showed that an increase in turbulence intensity led to a significant increase in the turbulent kinetic energy, condensation rate, average convective Nusselt number and change on the pressure drop in the heat exchanger. The effects of inlet flow Reynolds number and tube diameter on the heat and mass transfer were also presented and discussed.

This Paper introduced the research background and technical features of the simulative experiments in the laboratory with the sorbent of lime solution without lime particles. By means of the effects of various influencing factors on SO2 removal efficiency were studied carefully. These parameters include gas flow rate (G), inlet SO2 concentration, liquid-to-gas ratios, the height of the packing and the additive, at the same time menstruating the pH value of the liquid flowing from the tower. To improve desulfurization efficiency of limestone in the wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD), effect of the hexanedioic acid additive on limestone desulfurization agent were studied. The result shows that this system has advantages of high efficiency, stable, low investment and low circulating cost. The result could give a reference to optimization and will be helpful in selecting desulfurization techniques.

This paper describes the results of computational fluid dynamic modeling of hydrodynamics, heat and mass transfer simultaneously in Flexipac 1Y operated under a counter-current gas-liquid flow condition. The simulation was performed for a binary mixture of methanol-isopropanol distillation. The pressure drop, the height of equivalent to theoretical plate (HETP) and temperature distribution across the column were calculated and compared with experimental data. The mean absolute relative error (MARE) between CFD predictions and experimental data for the pressure drop, HETP and temperature profile are 20.7%, 12.9% and 2.8%, respectively.
