1、化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程Chapter 13 The Dispersion Model Choice of ModelsModels are useful for representing flow in real vessels,for scale up,and for diagnosing poor flow.We have different kinds of models depending on whether flow is close to plug,mixed,or somewhere in between.Chapter 13Chapter 13 and 1414

2、deal primarily with small deviation from plug flow.There are two models for this:the dispersion model and the tanks-in-series model.Use the one that is comfortable for you.化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程They are roughly equivalent.These models apply to turbulent flow in pipes,laminar flow in very long tubes,flow

3、in packed beds,shaft kilns,long channels,screw conveyers,etc.For laminar flow in short tubes or laminar flow of viscous materials these models may not apply,and it may be that the parabolic velocity pro the main cause of deviation from plug flow.We treat this situation,called the pure convection mod

4、el,in Chapter 15Chapter 15.If you are unsure which model to use go to the chart at the beginning of Chapter 15Chapter 15.It will tell you which model should be used to represent your setup.化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程13.1 AXIAL DISPERSION Suppose an ideal pulse of tracer is introduced into the fluid entering a

5、 vessel.The pulse spreads as it passes through the vessel,and to characterize the spreading according to this model(see Fig.13.1),we assume a diffusion-like process superimposed(添加)on plug flow.We call this dispersion or longitudinal(纵向的,轴向的)dispersion to distinguish it from molecular diffusion.The

6、dispersion coefficient D(m2/s)represents this spreading process.Thus large D means rapid spreading of the tracer curve small D means slow spreading D=0 means no spreading,hence plug flow化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程Figure 13.1 The spreading of tracer according to the dispersion model.化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程Also is th

7、e dimensionless group characterizing the spread in the whole vessel.We evaluate D or D/uL by recording the shape of the tracer curve as it passes the exit of the vessel.In particular,we measure 化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程The variance(方差)is defined as(2)These measures,and and ,are directly linked by theory to

8、D and D/uL.The mean time,for continuous or discrete(离散的)data,is defined as(1)化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程or in discrete form(3)The variance represents the square of the spread of the distribution as it passes the vessel exit and has units of(time)2.It is particularly useful for matching experimental curves to

9、one of a family of theoretical curves.Figure 13.2 illustrates these terms.化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程Consider plug flow of a fluid,on top of which is superimposed some degree of backmixing,the magnitude of which is independent of position within the vessel.This condition implies that there exist no stagnant p

10、ockets and no gross(明显的)bypassing or short-circuiting of fluid in the vessel.This is called the dispersed plug flow model,or simply the dispersion model.Figure 13.3 shows the conditions visualized(形象化地).Note that with varying intensities of this model should range from plug flow at one extreme to mi

11、xed flow at the other.As a result the reactor volume for this model will lie between those calculated for plug and mixed flow.化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程Figure 13.3 Representation of the dispersion(dispersed plug flow)model.化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程where D,the coefficient of molecular diffusion,is a parameter which u

12、niquely(唯一地)characterizes the process.In an analogous(类似的)manner we may consider all the contributions to intermixing of fluid in the x-direction to be described by a similar form of expression,or where the parameter D,which we call the longitudinal or axial dispersion coefficient,uniquely character

15、ll)the spreading tracer curve does not significantly change in shape as it passes the measuring point(during the time it is being measured).Under these conditions the solution to Eq.6 is not difficult and gives the symmetrical(对称的)curve of Eq.7 shown in Figs.13.1 and 13.4.This represents family of g

16、aussian curves,also called error or normal curves.化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程The equations representing this family are(8)mean of E curve化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程Figure 13.4 Relationship between D/uL and the dimensionless E curve for small extents of dispersion,Eq.7.化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程Note that D/uL is the one paramete

17、r of this curve.Figure 13.4 shows a number of ways to evaluate this parameter from an experimental curve:by calculating its variance,by measuring its maximum height or its width at the point of inflection(拐点),or by finding that width which includes 68%of the area.Also note how the tracer spreads as

18、it moves down the vessel.From the variance expression of Eq.8 we find that L L or 化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程Fortunately,for small extents of dispersion numerous simplifications and approximations in the analysis of tracer curves are possible.First,the shape of the tracer curve is insensitive to the boundary

19、condition imposed on the vessel,whether closed of open(see above Eq.11.1).So for both closed and open vessels Cpulse=E and Cstep=F.For a series of vessels the and of the individual vessels are additive,thus,referring to Fig.13.5 we have 化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程The additivity(可加性)of times is expected,but th

20、e additivity of variance is not generally expected.This is a useful property since it allows us to subtract for the distortion of the measured curve caused by input lines,long measuring leads,etc.This additivity property of variance also allows us to treat any one-shot tracer input,no matter what it

21、s shape,and to extract from it the variance of the E curve of the vessel.So,on referring to Fig.13.6,if we write for a one-shot input化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程Figure 13.6 Increase in variance is the same in both cases,or .化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程Aris(1959)has shown,for small extents of dispersion,that Thus no matte

22、r what the shape of the input curve,the D/uL value for the vessel can be found.The goodness of fit for this simple treatment can only be evaluated by comparison with the more exact but much more complex solutions.From such a comparison we find that the maximum error in estimate of D/uL is given by化化

23、 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程Let us consider two types of boundary conditions:either the flow is undisturbed(未受干扰)as it passes the entrance and exit boundaries(we call this the open b.c.),or you have plug flow outside the vessel up to the boundaries(we call this the closed b.c.).This leads to four combinations of

24、 boundary conditions,closed-closed,open-open,and mixed.Figure 13.7 illustrates the closed and open extremes,whose RTD curves are designated as Ecc and Eoo.化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程Figure 13.7 Various boundary conditions used with the dispersion model.Plug flow,D=0Same D,everywhere Closed vesselChange in flo

29、 more and more from each other.(b)To evaluate D/uL either match the measured tracer curve or the measured to theory.Match is simplest,through not necessarily best;however,it is often used.But be sure to use the right boundary conditions.化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程(c)If the flow deviates greatly from plug(D/uL

30、 large)chances are that the real vessel doesnt meet the assumption of the model(a lot of independent random fluctuations).Here it becomes questionable whether the model should even be used.I hesitate when D/uL 1。(d)You must always ask whether the model should be used.You can always match values,but

31、if the shape looks wrong,as shown in the accompanying sketches,dont use this model,use some other model.化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程(e)For large D/uL the literature is profuse and conflicting,primarily because of the unstated and unclear assumptions about what is happening at the vessel boundaries.The treatmen

32、t of end additivity of variances is questionable.Because of all this we should be very careful in using the dispersion model where backmixing is large,particularly if the system is not closed.(f)We will not discuss the equations and curves for the open-closed or closed-open boundary conditions.These

38、 above a screen to a height of 120 cm,and fluid flows downward through this packing.A sloppy pulse of radioactive tracer is injected directly above the bed,and output signals are recorded by Geiger counters at two levels in the bed 90 cm apart.化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程 Figure E13.3 化化 学学 反反 应应 工工 程程The foll
