Abstract

The work contains a numerical solution of the scientific and technical problem of the determination of the efficiency of packed scrubbers during condensation cooling and purification of the dispersed phase of gases in the process of a stationary film liquid flow through regular and chaotic contact devices. A system of differential equations with partial derivatives of the conjugate transfer of heat, the mass of water vapor, and the dispersed phase in the packing layer is written. The heat and mass transfer and the transfer of dispersed particles between the gas and liquid phases are taken into account with volume source terms of the interfacial transfer, averaged over the local volume of the layer. Expressions are given to determine the source parameters. The results of the numerical solution of the system of equations in terms of the temperature and moisture content fields and comparison with known experimental data are presented. The dependence of the efficiency of gas purification from a finely dispersed phase on the gas velocity is shown. Comparative characteristics of packings, as well as scientific and technical solutions for the modernization of scrubbers introduced in the industry, are given.
