Abstract EN
The present work details the three-dimensional numerical simulation of single-phase and two-phase flow (air-water) in a venturi scrubber with an inlet and throat diameters of 250 and 122.5 mm, respectively.
The dimensions and operating parameters correspond to industrial applications.
The mass flow rate conditions were 0.483 kg/s, 0.736 kg/s, 0.861 kg/s, and 0.987 kg/s for the gas only simulation; the mass flow rate for the liquid was 0.013 kg/s and 0.038 kg/s.
The gas flow was simulated in five geometries with different converging and diverging angles while the two-phase flow was only simulated for one geometry.
The results obtained were validated with experimental data obtained by other researchers.
The results show that the pressure drop depends significantly on the gas flow rate and that water flow rate does not have significant effects neither on the pressure drop nor on the fluid maximum velocity within the scrubber.
