Estudo numérico de modelos de arrasto e do coeficiente de restituição no escoamento gás-sólido em leito fluidizado

Abstract

Fluidized bed is an important unit operation of great interest in petroleum, chemical, metallurgical and energy industries. The large number of applications of fluidized bed in the industry and constant demand for improvements in the efficiency of the fluidization process, has produced an increase in the number of studies involving numerical simulations of gas-solid flow in fluidized bed through CFD. In numerical simulation, there is not yet an agreement on the selection of a drag model and in defining a suitable value for the coefficient of restitution. The purpose of this work was to study the influence of different drag models and restitution coefficient on the hydrodynamics of gas-solid flow in fluidized-bed, through numerical simulations. It is used a model based on the Eulerian-Eulerian approach considering a two-dimensional fluidized bed, which will be resolved using the open source MFIX code. To evaluate drag models, numerical results will be validated through the determination of the experimental data of Taghipour et al. (2005), which presents fluidized bed design parameters, such as fluidization curve, bed expansion, minimum fluidization velocity and void fraction profiles. It was also studied the effect of restitution coefficient on the hydrodynamics, through the development of a correlation in function of void fraction. The results demonstrated that drag model have an great influence in fluidized bed design parameters determination. In this study, a group of models were able to represent adequately the hydrodynamics, however Gidaspow (1994) drag model was the most accurate to represent the experimental data. Simulations were carried out considering restitution coefficient as a function of void fraction and using Gidaspow (1994) drag model. The simulation results obtained was able to improve the prediction of void fraction profile

O leito fluidizado é uma importante operação unitária de grande interesse na indústria química, geração de energia, extração e refino do petróleo, entre outros. As muitas aplicações do leito fluidizado na indústria e a demanda constante de melhorias na eficiência do processo de fluidização, tem produzido um aumento no número de trabalhos envolvendo simulações numéricas do escoamento gás-sólido em leito fluidizado através de CFD. Na simulação numérica, ainda não existe consenso na seleção de um modelo de arrasto e na definição de um valor adequado para o coeficiente de restituição. Nesta tese investiga-se a influência de diferentes modelos de arrasto e do coeficiente de restituição; sobre a fluidodinâmica do escoamento gás-sólido em leito fluidizado, através de simulações numéricas. Para isto é usado um modelo baseado na abordagem Euleriana-Euleriana considerando um leito fluidizado bidimensional, o qual será resolvido usando o codigo livre MFIX. Para avaliar os modelos de arrasto, os resultados numéricos são validados por meio da determinação dos dados experimentais de Taghipour et al. (2005), o qual apresenta parâmetros de projeto de leito fluidizado, tais como a queda de pressão, expansão do leito, velocidade mínima de fluidização e distribuição das fases. Estudou-se também o efeito do coeficiente de restituição sobre a fluidodinâmica do escoamento, através do desenvolvimento de uma correlação em função da fração de vazio. Os resultados demonstram que o modelo de arrasto têm uma influência muito grande na determinação das variáveis de projeto de leito fluidizado. No estudo, um grupo de modelos representam adequadamente a fluidodinâmica, sendo que o modelo de arrasto de Gidaspow (1994) foi o que mais se aproximou aos resultados experimentais. Foram desenvolvidas simulações ... ( Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
