Experimental and Numerical Study of the Flow Field and Temperature Field for a Large-Scale Radiant Syngas Cooler

Experimental and numerical studies on the gas-particle flow field and temperature field in the industrial-scale radiant syngas cooler (RSC) have been carried out. The bench-scale cold model experiment was presented for measuring the gas flow field in the RSC. The accuracy and performance of four turbulent flow models were evaluated according to the comparison of predicted results with experimental results. The ash particle trajectories were predicted by the stochastic Lagrangian model and the interaction between the gas and particle phase was also considered by two-way coupling method. A discrete ordinate model (DOM) was used for solving the radiative heat transfer equation when the radiative properties were calculated by weighted-sum-of-gray-gases model (WSGGM). The Ranz−Marshall correlation for the Nusselt number was used to account for convection heat-transfer between the gas phase and the particle phase. The ash particle radiative heat transfer was also considered. The physical properties of gas mixtu...
