The Calculation of Wave-Plate Demister Efficiencies Using Numerical Simulation of the Flow Field and Droplet Motion

Separating paint mist from paint spraying waste gas: mechanism, model and application

“…The flow field in the single channel of the baffle interceptor was simulated by ANSYS fluent 18.0. Separation efficiency and pressure drop are the key parameters for the evaluation of paint mist separation facility [31]. Therefore, the influence of the structure size and the process parameters on separation efficiency and pressure drop were studied.…”

“…Discrete phase particle trajectories were predicted by using the Discrete Phase Model (DPM) based on the Euler-Lagrange approach. The computations were carried out by solving the continuity and momentum equations, Navier-Stokes equation, k-ε equation of continuous phase and the motion equation of particle [31,32], which is described in…”

Forming and stripping of the wall film and the influence on gas–liquid separation

“…Thus, the liquid droplets will impinge on the walls, where they are trapped and collected and subsequently form liquid films. Finally, the films are drained from the walls due to gravity 2 …”

Study of the separation efficiency of a demister vane with response surface methodology

“…fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques, the use of numerical simulations to predict the performance of the demister has received much attention and it is at present under intensive development [14][15][16][17]. An evident advantage of CFD calculations with respect to experiments is that a large number of geometry variables can be varied at relative low costs [18,19].…”
