Model & approach
- Represent the chamber and multiple inlet streams with energy and species transport
- Compare baseline and central flow-control variants consistently
Project study
Hot-gas mixing in an industrial mixing chamber
The study scope covers guide geometries for mixing several hot process-gas streams and their effect on outlet uniformity and pressure loss.
CFD simulation · Thermal analysisHot-gas mixing chamber
Engineering question
Streams at different states had to be mixed before discharge without a central guide element imposing disproportionate resistance.
Boundary conditions
- Several hot gas streams and project-specific load states
- Temperature uniformity, recirculation and pressure loss as common target quantities
Assessment focus
- Temperature uniformity and recirculation in the mixing chamber
- Pressure loss and mixing behaviour of the guide-element variants
Study objective
The objective was a variant comparison addressing mixing performance and flow resistance together.
