Gas-Dynamic and Heat-Exchange Processes in a Facility for the Vacuum Dehydrogenation of Hydrocarbons

Resumo

Experimental and numerical research into gas-dynamic and heat-exchange processes in facilities for the vacuum dehydrogenation of hydrocarbon raw materials is considered; results of experiments and numerical studies are compared. This work describes an experimental plant; considers a mathematical model of gas-dynamic and heat-exchange processes in the experimental plant, as well as in facilities for the vacuum dehydrogenation of hydrocarbon raw materials on the whole; and describes numerical simulation of these processes in the ANSYS CFX software package and full-scale experimental research. Results obtained during experimental and numerical research, as well as their comparison, are presented. An experimental confirmation of the correct description by a mathematical model of gas-dynamic and heat-exchange processes in an experimental plant for vacuum dehydrogenation is obtained.
