Computational-fluid-dynamics study of a Kenics static mixer as a heat exchanger for supercritical carbon dioxide
چکیده انگلیسی

The thermal efficiency of a Kenics® KM static mixer used to pre-heat supercritical carbon dioxide, under high pressure conditions, is studied using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A mesh sensitivity analysis is performed and the CFD model is validated against experimental results on heat transfer with conventional and supercritical fluids. Three turbulent models – standard k–ɛ, RNG k–ɛ, and k–ω – are employed to model the flow and heat transfer under high pressure conditions; the effects of large variations of the physical properties in the pseudo-critical region of the fluid are also studied. The RNG k–ɛ model gives results that are closer to the experimental data than the other two turbulence models. The numerical results show that the static mixer has a thermal efficiency more than three times higher than that of a conventional empty pipe heat exchanger with similar heat transfer area.
