CFD Operation for Predicting Pressure and Velocity Variations in Spinning Cone Column

By using the pressure and velocity distribution in a pilot-scale spinning cone distillation column (SCC), the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations have been accomplished in the presence of gas and absence of liquid flow (dry column) and in the presence of gas and liquid (two phase column). SCC is a gas-liquid contacting instrument whose function is in the food processing industries. At the present work, the modeling of four fixed cones and three spinning cones, which is between them, has been performed. Investigation of equations have been done at 25 C , beside the basis of the model solving procedure was Steady-State. CFD simulation regarded modeling on Eulerian view as two phases of continuous gas and dispersed liquid. The simulation results of this paper can be employed for predicating the industrial applications of SCC. According to the CFD results, increasing the gas flow rate, could lead to the pressure drop elevation at dry and two phase state
