FURNACE

Description

In this project, an industrial Furnace has been simulated, and the simulation results have been investigated using ANSYS Fluent software. We perform this CFD project and investigate it by CFD analysis.

In this project, Ansys Fluent software stimulated an industrial Furnace numerically. The furnace simulated in this project is combusted with methane fuel to heat the Methane in the pipes so that the Methane can be moved more quickly and with less force.

By observing the results, it can be seen that the outlet temperature of methane pipes has increased compared to the inlet temperature. The fuel enters and is mixed with the air inside the furnace, and combustion occurs. Six burners are installed on the floor of the furnace.

The flame hits the pipes inside the furnace in the radiant section and causes heating of the liquid inside the pipe, Methane. Combustion gases are released from the chimney as burnt gases.

Purpose:

Furnaces are used in oil, gas, and petrochemical industries to provide heat for various processes over 400 c.

To move heavy mineral flood oil, it is often necessary to reduce the viscosity to facilitate this operation by heating the oil in the furnace. The purpose of this project is to increase the temperature of Methane.

Abstract:

In this project, ANSYS Fluent software stimulated an industrial Furnace numerically. The furnace simulated in this project is combusted with methane fuel to heat the Methane in the pipes so that the Methane can be moved more quickly and with less force. By observing the results, it can be seen that the outlet temperature of methane pipes has increased compared to the inlet temperature.

Introduction to Furnace Industrial Application:

Oil is one of the precious gifts that nature has given to humans. The impact of oil cannot be ignored in humanity’s economic, political, and social spheres. Oil as an essential element has contributed to economic development, employment, and peace.

Therefore, one of the major challenges in the oil industry is the displacement of it or its products in transmission lines, which is difficult to move in the pipeline due to the high viscosity. Therefore, by heating the desired fluid, the displacement in the tube is better due to the reduction of viscosity.

Furnaces, like other equipment, have an evolutionary course and with the advancement of engineering knowledge, their efficiency and safety have been increased day by day with new designs. Increasing the efficiency as much as possible, improving the safety, simplification, guidance, and the ability to use different fuels in the furnaces are among the intellectual preoccupations of the engineers in designing and manufacturing different types of furnaces.

How the Device Works:

The fuel enters and is mixed with the air inside the furnace, and combustion occurs. Six burners are installed on the floor of the furnace. The flame hits the pipes inside the furnace in the radiant section and causes heating of the liquid inside the pipe, Methane. Combustion gases are released from the chimney as burnt gases.

Furnace Simulation

We designed the geometry of the present work by SolidWorks software (drawing pipes) and the rest of the geometry by Design Modeler software, which has the exact dimensions as the model in the attached catalog. The meshing of this present model has been generated by ANSYS Meshing software. The mesh grid is structured, and the total cell number is more than 7800000.

FURNACE simulations are performed with a steady-state solver with the energy equation, and the k-ε model is Realizable as the turbulence model. In addition, species equations are active. The fluids used in this simulation are Methane and air for the continuous phase. Coupling of velocity and pressure equations is also performed using the SIMPLE algorithm by ANSYS Fluent software.

FURNACE Result:

According to the obtained results, it is observed that a suitable flame has been formed, and also, the outlet temperature of the pipes has significantly increased compared to the inlet.
