Abstract:

The complete evaporation of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) wastewater droplets before they reach the flue duct wall is the key of safe operation of FGD wastewater treatment system in tail flue duct in thermal power plants. The main characteristics of spray evaporation include pneumatic behaviors such as breakup and polymerization, influence mechanism of droplet group size distribution and velocity. A wind tunnel was designed and constructed, and the particle size distribution and velocity of the sprayed droplet group were measured and analyzed by laser particle size analyzer and particle image velocimetry (PIV) system in different inlet conditions of injected gas pressure, nozzle water flow rate, wind speed and air heating temperature. The experimental results show that the droplets injected from the nozzle are relative bigger initially and will become smaller because of breakup. Then the droplets are polymeric. The initial particle size of the droplet is only related to the injected gas pressure and water flow. The increase of wind speed will slightly contribute to the aggregation between the droplets. Increasing the pressure of the gas, temperature, wind speed, and reducing the water flow will all contribute to the speed of the droplet group. Especially, the effect of wind speed is more obvious. The results provide the reference for the spray numerical simulation and improvement direction of spray evaporation in engineering application.
