Liquid separation modeling while selecting contact devices for separation in a centrifugal field

Abstract

This paper proposes the use of mathematical modeling of technological processes as a tool for increasing the efficiency of equipment and solving environmental problems, which contributes to the sustainable development of enterprises in the chemical industry. The results of modeling the process of separating liquids of different densities in a centrifugal field are presented to study the influence of the type of atomizers on the flow rate and the number of contact devices on the separation efficiency. The work shows the importance of using numerical modeling in design to substantiate scientifically decisions made and confirm the effectiveness of developed structures. The results are important to intensify heat and mass transfer processes and to reduce the negative impact of production on the environment.
