Abstract
The perforated plates are commonly used for gas flow control in the wide-angle diffusers of electrostatic precipitators of large power plants. Many studies dealt with the investigation of the effects of the perforated plate?s geometry on flow parameters in the cases where incoming flow is perpendicular to the plate and the plate is covering the whole cross-section of the flowing channel. These results are partially applicable in cases where flow is inclined on the plate or when the plate is not occupying the whole cross-section of the channel. The subject of this work is a numerical investigation of flow through the rectangular channel with a perforated plate in various positions in the cross-section of the channel. The aim was to investigate the effect of the plate position on the flow. The perforated plates were modeled as thin porous media of finite thickness by using the directional loss model. Numerical experiments are carried out by using Computational Fluid Dynamics software Ansys CFX. Results of pressure drop and velocity distribution behind the plate are compared to the results of CFD simulation of the full 3D plate model. In order to obtain a reasonable agreement both of the pressure drop and velocity distribution behind the plate when using a simplified thin porous plate model, the value of streamwise permeability of the plate had to be adjusted. The level of adjustments has determined iteratively and it depends on the plate position in the channel?s cross-section.
期刊介绍:
The main aims of Thermal Science
to publish papers giving results of the fundamental and applied research in different, but closely connected fields:
fluid mechanics (mainly turbulent flows), heat transfer, mass transfer, combustion and chemical processes
in single, and specifically in multi-phase and multi-component flows
in high-temperature chemically reacting flows
processes present in thermal engineering, energy generating or consuming equipment, process and chemical engineering equipment and devices, ecological engineering,
The important characteristic of the journal is the orientation to the fundamental results of the investigations of different physical and chemical processes, always jointly present in real conditions, and their mutual influence. To publish papers written by experts from different fields: mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and related fields. To inform international scientific community about the recent, and most prominent fundamental results achieved in the South-East European region, and particularly in Serbia, and - vice versa - to inform the scientific community from South-East European Region about recent fundamental and applied scientific achievements in developed countries, serving as a basis for technology development. To achieve international standards of the published papers, by the engagement of experts from different countries in the International Advisory board.
