Calculation of the Heat Transfer in Coke Dry Quenching by Numerical Modeling

Resumo

The air flow and heat transfer in a coke dry quenching (CDQ) system are analyzed by simulation using FloEFD software, within the framework of a modified k–ε model of turbulence. The calculated temperatures are compared with operational data. The accuracy of the simulation is acceptable. The proposed method may be used for engineering calculations in the design and refinement of CDQ systems or their components, with significant decrease in experiment costs.
