Temperature axial flow

Stea.m-Ra.ising Converter. There are a variety of tubular steam-raising converters (Fig. 7d) available, which feature radial or axial flow, with the catalyst on either shell or tube side. The near-isothermal operation of this reactor type is the most thermodynamically efficient of the types used, requiring the least catalyst volume. Lower catalyst peak temperatures also result in reduced by-product formation and longer catalyst life. 

The axial-flow turbine, like its eounterpart the axial-flow eompressor, has flow, whieh enters and leaves in the axial direetion. There are two types of axial turbines (1) impulse type, and (2) reaetion type. The impulse turbine has its entire enthalpy drop in the nozzle therefore it has a very high veloeity entering the rotor. The reaetion turbine divides the enthalpy drop in the nozzle and the rotor. Figure 1-37 is a sehematie of an axial-flow turbine, also depleting the distribution of the pressure, temperature and the absolute veloeity. 

TTiere are two main types of expansion turbines axial flow and radial flow. Axial flow expansion turbines are like conventional steam turbines. They may be single-stage or multistage with impulse or reaction blading, or some combination of the two. Turbines of this type are used as power recovery turbines. They are used where flow rates, inlet temperatures, or total energy drops are very high. 

Bifurcated fan An axial flow fan that directs the airstream around the motor, which is enclosed in a protective casing. It is used for handling corrosive, high-temperature, and explosive dusts, vapors and gases. 

Water at room temperature is flowing through a 1.0-in i.d. tubular reactor at Re= 1000. What is the minimum tube length needed for the axial dispersion model to provide a reasonable estimate of reactor performance What is the Peclet number at this minimum tube length Why would anyone build such a reactor ...

Mathematical models of tubular chemical reactor behaviour can be used to predict the dynamic variations in concentration, temperature and flow rate at various locations within the reactor. A complete tubular reactor model would however be extremely complex, involving variations in both radial and axial... 

Fig. 20. Temperature contour maps of respectively the x = 0 plane of the first stage in the N = 4 geometry stacking, and the y = 0 plane of the fourth stage. Main axial flow direction moves from left to right in these pictures.

Fig. 27a shows the temperature field in the fluid adjacent to the tube wall, by means of a temperature contour map. The axes of the map are the axial coordinate Z and the arc length along the curved tube wall, S. The contour map shows one hot region and several colder regions in an overall temperature distribution that was quite moderate. The hotter region in the center of the map is associated with the strong axial flow component found there. The cold region to the left of the center of the map ( -coordinate 0.035-0.045, Z-coordinate 0.02-0.04) corresponds to the position of the curved section of the center particle in Fig. 25. In this area the flow is of average velocity, but has a uniform direction and a reasonable radial component, creating the cooler spot.

This is a reversible, exothermic reaction carried out adiabatically in a multistage, fixed-bed reactor with axial flow of fluid and interstage heat transfer for temperature adjustment see Figure 1.4. The catalyst is promoted V205. 

Consider a fixed-bed catalytic reactor (FBCR), with axial flow, for the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene (A) to styrene (S) (monomer). From the information given below, calculate the temperature (TIK) in the first-stage bed of the reactor,... 

Based on the results of these tests, recommended operating conditions for Zr precipitation in the pilot plant system include reaction temperatures of 20 C or 60 C, impeller tip speeds of 320 cm/s during solid dispersal/reaction vising a high efficiency axial flow impeller, addition of 0.83 g NaF/g Zr in solution, and crystallization periods of 24 hours. A filter press will provide acceptable solid/llquid separation even during process upsets without use of a precoat. A diaphragm pump functioned well during these tests.
