Consolidated Fuel Reprocessing Program A USER'S MANUAL TO ABN0X, A COMPUTER PROGRAM DESIGNED TO SIMULATE THE NITROGEN OXIDE REMOVAL EFFICIENCY OF A MULTISTAGE BUBBLE-CAP TOWER

摘要

The purpose for developing ABN0X, the computer program described in this report, is to simplify this design operation within defined limits. The mechanisms involved in this scrubbing simulation were developed from basic diffusion, kinetic, and equilibrium information and are in reasonable agreement with experimental data.nThe important scale-up parameter appears to be the gas-liquid interfacial area. The equation used in ABN0X for predicting gas-liquid interfacial area for bubble-cap plate’s appeal's to be in good agreement with industrial-scale data. However, ABN0X is currently untested in its simulation of the NO removal efficiency of an industrial-scale bubble-cap column. It is anticipated that the results from a 12-plate, 0.61-m-diam bubble-cap NO scrubber currently being planned will verify or lead to improvements in the ABN0X simulation.
