Computational fluid dynamic simulations in thermal waste treatment technology—Design, optimisation and troubleshooting

Energy, 2008, vol. 33, issue 6, 930-941

Abstract: The present work provides three case studies featuring applications of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the area of thermal waste treatment (TWT). The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate the benefits offered by simulations in TWT technology in the design, optimisation and troubleshooting of those systems. The case studies deal with practical problems, namely a performance evaluation of a fabric filter bag with an add-on Venturi nozzle, the design optimisation of flow homogenising vanes in a heat exchanger, and finally troubleshooting in a novel volatile organic compound (VOC) treatment unit.
