This research aims a study to compare the thermal parameter of the original (rectangular) and circle salt boiling stove by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of the boiling salt process in Ban Dung area, Udon Thani province. The first study, the rectangular stove has U-shaped channel for heating flow through chimney that the stove size is 2.4 m of width, 6.0 m of long, 0.8 m of high and cross-sectional area of heating flue was 0.8 x 0.8 m2. The second study, the circle salt boiling stove has a similarly volume of the rectangular stove of 4.32 m3 and the diameter of 4.58 m. From the results of mathematical models by CFD found that the rectangular stove have the thermal efficiency, the highest fired temperature and the velocity outlet of hot air of 17.78%, 537.77oC and 4.862 m/s, respectively. Then, the circle stove have 24.59%, 758.32oC and 3.1424 m/s, respectively. it can be calculated the thermal efficiency reduce of the boiling salt production is 27.69%. Comparison between the rectangular and the circle salt boiling stove found that the circle stove have the thermal efficiency and heating flue more than the rectangular stove. It can reduce the cost of production and reduce the fuel consumption in the salt boiling process. |
