Packed tower hydrodynamics calculation software!
Thread Content
I would like to ask the teachers and experts: What software is currently used for the hydrodynamic calculations in packed towers? What are their characteristics? Could someone knowledgeable please give me an introduction? Thank you!
There are those from Gleech, Sulzer, and FRI; in addition, there are also several domestic companies that specialize in tower internals and have developed their own software.
KG TOWER software is widely used.
Most of what we use now is from Sulzer
RPCD is the abbreviation for a computational software for fluid dynamics and mass transfer in packed bed towers. This software can calculate fluid dynamics parameters such as the tower diameter D, the equivalent plate height HETP, and the pressure drop ΔPw per unit of packing in the wet tower, based on the process requirements. The calculation model for packed towers in this software is the most up-to-date and robust mathematical model to date. It incorporates the outcomes of numerous international academic conferences and professional organizations; special mention should be made of the significant contributions made by Chinese scholars and industry professionals. The wet packing factor (including the generalized operating point) and mass transfer coefficient employ revised models developed by Chinese scholars, resulting in more reasonable calculations. The widespread use of large-scale packed towers in China’s industrial sector has placed China at the forefront of theoretical research and industrial testing on bulk packing materials. This modified model is based on actual operational data from industrial packed towers, surpassing foreign models and reaching an advanced level worldwide. The advancement of RPCD. In terms of packed tower technology, RPCD has selected the latest research findings and incorporated them into its own algorithms. These research findings have been carefully selected and tested in practice, proving to be fairly accurate. Due to insufficient theoretical research on fillers, and limited by factors such as the technical capabilities of producers in terms of the processing of industrial operation data, there are very few calculation formulas, but a large number of charts. For experiments under the same conditions, the results vary greatly. RPCD combines the advantages and disadvantages of various existing algorithms, formalizes the relevant formulas, and constructs a complete numerical calculation model. RPCD uses Vivid Software’s real-time response technology. Calculations may be carried out simultaneously while data is being entered. Once you have entered the data, the calculation is completed, and the result report appears on the screen. RPCD can output results to a printer and generate Excel files. Generating Excel does not rely on MS Excel, which facilitates the sharing of calculation results, as opening those results only requires Excel and not RPCD.
