Computational fluid dynamics on the hydrodynamic characteristics of the conical cap tray
This paper addresses an investigation on the hydrodynamic behavior of a new type of cap trays called conical cap tray (ConCap tray). A 3-D computational fluid dynamics model was developed to predict the hydrodynamics of the ConCap tray which is operated in the spray regime. The model considers two phase flow of gas and liquid in a VOF-like code framework. The homogeneous multiple size group model (MUSIG model) and shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model were implemented. Detailed insights into the hydrodynamic behavior of the inside of the cones were obtained. The relation between velocity, pressure and cross section area of the flow inside the cone also was formulated. The computational fluid dynamic (CFD) results show that the pressure variation in the cones forces the liquid on the tray to be highly turbulent, which leads to deform the interface to break up. Effect of different riser heights was also studied by CFD simulations. The results show that the riser height has a significant role in the hydrodynamics of the tray, especially in uniform gas distribution in the tray and reducing weeping rates.
