| Abstract Scope |
At present, the research of nickel metallurgy faces many challenges, especially for the application of nickel flash furnace melting technology, how to optimize operating conditions and reduce energy consumption has become a new challenge. In this paper, a three-dimensional model of water cooling jacket for flash reactor is constructed. In the simulation, the influence of the initial flow rate of different cooling water (6 m/s to 60 m/s) on the temperature distribution of the tower wall was studied. The results show that the increase of the flow rate of cooling water can effectively reduce the temperature in the upper part of the reactor tower, but may lead to uneven temperature distribution; The middle and lower regions have little influence on temperature. It provides some theoretical guidance for the choice of cooling water velocity in practice, so as to ensure the balance between furnace wall protection and thermal management. |
