Abstract:
The work is devoted to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of structured cartridges with glass-fiber catalysts (GFCs) with channel height of 5.7 mm and overall porosity of 0.71-0.86 including variation of shape factors: GFC textile structure (sateen/openwork) and presence of corrugated structuring mesh in the cartridge channel. Openwork textile may create the local fluid vortexes, while the corrugated structuring mesh may provide the turbulization of the flow core, both factors leading to improvement of the mass transfer from flow core to GFC surface. The calculated improvement reaches ~30% for openwork compared to sateen and ~10% for structuring mesh presence, this being in appropriate agreement with the experimental data. Modelling also reproduced the unusual experimentally observed back-side flow of the reaction fluid in the gap between GFC textile and flat supporting mesh. The developed model can be considered as adequate and experimentally verified and may be used to optimize the existing design and develop new designs of GFC cartridges.
