CG-13 Modeling Spray Condensers
December 20, 2023
This report reviews and evaluates literature methods for modeling spray condensers. It discusses droplet size, distribution, motion, and mass and heat transfer in a hot vapor stream. The methods in the literature are sufficient for modeling spray condensation of a single component without a noncondensable gas. Limited research on spray condensation of...

BK1-18 A Parametric Study of Entrainment Using CFD Simulations
November 10, 2022
Accurate prediction of kettle entrainment is crucial for sizing kettles effectively, reducing equipment cost, and increasing column efficiency. Operating experience has informed the development of simple sizing rules. Two-phase CFD models can compute the amount of entrainment directly from the governing equations of motion. Two computational approaches are demonstrated: one uses...
