Transient Entropy Generation Analysis During Wustite Pellet Reduction to Sponge Iron

نویسندگان

چکیده مقاله:

The present study carefully examined entropy generation during wustite pellet reduction to sponge iron. The finite volume method was used to solve the governing equations. The grain model was used to simulate the reaction rate. The reactant gases including carbon monoxide and hydrogen were converted to water and carbon dioxide after wustite reduction. Entropy is generated by heat transfer, mass transfer and chemical reactions. The rate of entropy generation is studied over a period of 150 minutes. Based on the governing equations, the share of each process in the generation of entropy was calculated. The effects of gas ratio, porosity, and tortuosity and grain diameter of wustite pellet on entropy generation were investigated. The porosity was changed from 0.2 to 0.5, tortuosity from 1 to 4, grain diameter from 7 to 20 mm and the ratio of reducing gas from 0.5 to 2. According to the results maximum value of entropy generation nearly occurs during first 20 minutes of the reduction process. It is shown that the heat transfer had the highest contribution to entropy generation. The results also indicates porosity and gas ratio are inversely proportional to the rate of entropy generation while tortuosity and grain diameter are directly proportional to entropy generation rate.

Effect of Water Gas Shift Reaction on the Non-Isothermal Reduction of Wustite Porous Pellet Using Syngas

Effect of water gas shift reaction (CO+H2O=CO2+H2) on wustite reduction has been investigated by a transient, non-isothermal mathematical model based on grain model. In this model, wustite porous pellet is reduced using Syngas, namely a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water vapor. For this purpose, governing equations containing continuity equation of species and energy...

Generation of Energy Conservation Measures for Sponge Iron Plants

During the operation, a tremendous amount of heat is generated in the coal based sponge iron plant and a significant part of this heat associated with the waste gas, remains unutilized. While utilizing this heat in the process the energy demand of the process may be reduced, which decreases the coal consumption, which is the only source of energy for this plant. To utilize the heat associated w...

Runaway electron generation during plasma shutdown by killer pellet injection

Tokamak discharges are sometimes terminated by disruptions that may cause large mechanical and thermal loads on the vessel. To mitigate disruption-induced problems it has been proposed that “killer” pellets could be injected into the plasma in order to safely terminate the discharge. Killer pellets enhance radiative energy loss and thereby lead to rapid cooling and shutdown of the discharge. Bu...
