The influence of spraying angle on aerodynamic characteristics of FGD spray towers
A model for aerodynamic characteristics predictions of flue gas desulfurization scrubber was developed. Droplets motion was considered as two-dimensional and initial droplets velocity and spraying angle were assumed as parameters. The presented model is able to predict pressure drop caused by the presence of spray, local dispersed phase concentration and droplets residence time for co- or counter-current apparatus. The results obtained for constant initial, vertical component of droplets velocity were compared to those evaluated for constant initial drops velocity (module). A range of applicability of one-dimensional model developed only for vertical drops motion is given.
