Method for simulating oxygen content distribution of low-temperature carbonization furnace based on WORKBENCH
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of oxygen content distribution testing in the design stage of a low-temperature carbonization furnace.
Background
In the production process of carbon fiber, a low-temperature carbonization furnace is one of key devices, and the low-temperature carbonization furnace generally refers to 300 ℃ to 1000 ℃ relative to a high-temperature carbonization furnace, and mainly comprises a frame body (furnace shell), a heat insulation material, a stainless steel muffle, a muffle counterweight device, a heating element, a sensing element, an inlet nitrogen seal, an outlet cooling water tank, an outlet nitrogen seal, a muffle internal gas detection device, a high-purity nitrogen pipeline system, an electric appliance temperature control system and other systems. The stainless steel muffle is a key part of the low-temperature carbonization furnace, and is heated to be greatly deformed when working in a high-temperature environment of 300-1000 ℃ for a long time, and the performance and the service life of the low-temperature carbonization furnace are greatly influenced by the air tightness, the service life, the deformation, the local stress and the like of the stainless steel muffle due to the temperature difference stress and the deformation of the stainless steel muffle at different temperatures. In addition, the temperature uniformity and the temperature difference in the stainless steel muffle have great influence on the quality and the stability of the final carbon fiber. Discussed and analyzed, it was judged that the main causes of the above disadvantages may be the structure, deformation, exhaust port position and sectional area of the stainless steel muffle of the low temperature carbonization furnace are insufficient and the temperature uniformity inside. Through development and development in the last forty years, although products with the level similar to that of foreign T300 are prepared from carbon fibers in China, the annual yield and the product performance of the carbon fibers still cannot meet the requirements of domestic markets for the products. Compared with the international advanced carbon fiber product technical level, the main problems of the domestic carbon fiber are obviously reflected in the poor uniformity and stability of the carbon fiber, and the main reasons are that the carbon fiber process is limited abroad, and the other important influencing factor is that the main production equipment in the carbon fiber production process lags behind abroad. The current situation is that the developed countries abroad represented by the united states and japan monopolize the equipment production technology of high-performance carbon fibers, and attach great importance to the outflow of prevention technology, and compared with the relatively laggard development of China in the field of carbon fiber research and development, the industrialization is slow, the current enterprise production is mainly simulated, the key equipment for import is the main method for solving the equipment problem, especially the key equipment for carbonization of a production line with high capacity, such as an oxidation furnace, a carbonization furnace and the like, for a kiloton-grade carbon fiber production line, and the united states forbids equipment for export to China. If the current passive situation needs to be changed and the industrial safety threat needs to be broken, the autonomous development of the localization and industrialization of the carbon fiber production line equipment needs to be solved urgently, and professional researchers related to carbon fibers need to continuously improve and research. Therefore, a reasonable design method needs to be selected, the furnace wall can reach the surface temperature meeting the specification, and the reduction of unit energy consumption is the technical problem in the prior art.

Detailed Description
The method of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments of the invention.
The invention discloses a simulation method for oxygen content distribution of a low-temperature carbonization furnace based on WORKBENCH, which comprises the following steps:
s1, establishing a three-dimensional simulation model of a muffle cavity and an inlet and outlet sealing cavity of the low-temperature carbonization furnace by adopting a Design Modler module of CAD (computer aided Design) software in WORKBENCH (computer aided Design) software, as shown in a figure 1, and setting geometric parameters of the three-dimensional simulation model; the set geometrical parameters at least comprise: the geometric shape and the geometric dimension of the muffle cavity, the geometric shape and the geometric dimension of the inlet and the outlet seal, the inlet dimension of the inlet and the outlet seal nitrogen pipe and the outlet dimension of the nitrogen pipe.
S2, the three-dimensional simulation model of the muffle cavity of the carbonization furnace and the inlet and outlet sealing cavity which are established in the step S1 is transmitted to a Mesh division Mesh module, and the Mesh division is carried out on the three-dimensional simulation model in the Mesh module in a Sweep mode.
S3, transmitting the three-dimensional simulation model subjected to grid division in the step S2 to a CFX (computational fluid dynamics) calculation module of the WORKBENCH software, and setting parameters in the CFX calculation module; the process of setting parameters in the CFX calculation module is specifically as follows:
(3.1) introducing a custom temperature parameter compiled according to the process parameter in an Expression option;

(3.6) setting an inlet Boundary condition as Static Pressure in the Boundary option, setting a Heat Transfer option as a preset value according to actual requirements, setting an outlet Boundary condition as Average Static Pressure, setting each calculation domain as Interface for data exchange, setting walls as convection Heat exchange surfaces, defining the comprehensive temperature value of furnace wall air in each hour by using Expression, setting the convection Heat exchange coefficient as a preset value according to actual requirements, and setting other walls as Heat insulation smooth walls;
and (3.7) selecting the Define Run and then calculating.
S4, setting a detection point and a detection surface in a CFX calculation module in the WORKBENCH software, and carrying out simulation operation to obtain a simulation result which is used as an index for designing a muffle cavity structure and an inlet and outlet sealing structure of the low-temperature carbonization furnace; specifically, a central point of the three-dimensional simulation model in the muffle furnace may be selected as a detection point, and the detection plane 1 is an X-direction plane passing through the central point. The simulation result comprises: temperature change curves of the detection points, speed cloud pictures of the detection surface and temperature cloud pictures of the detection surface.
And S5, under the same geometric parameter setting condition, setting different parameters of the three-dimensional simulation model and repeating the steps S1 to S4 to perform multiple times of simulation calculation, wherein the temperature change curve of a detection point in the hearth, the temperature cloud picture of a detection surface and the airflow speed cloud picture of the detection surface are used as indexes for evaluating the heating effect and the airflow distribution characteristics of the hearth, so that the optimized hearth heat storage capacity and airflow distribution design are determined.
According to the invention, the ventilation time period is defined through the Expression, the oxygen content is modified in Boundary Conditions in the Fluid Values option, and the change rule of the Pressure of the sealing cavity and the heat storage capacity in the muffle furnace under different oxygen contents can be obtained by modifying the airflow Pressure in the inlet Boundary Static Pressure. Compared with the three oxygen contents, the temperature change curve has the same trend, but the heat storage capacity is different at different air flow speeds. In conclusion, the airflow speed has a delay effect on the temperature change, so that the gas on the wall surface of the hearth has a good heat preservation effect and excellent heat storage performance; the temperature cloud chart of the detection surface with different oxygen contents is shown as a schematic diagram in fig. 2, and the temperature distribution in the furnace discharging cavity is even. The oxygen content cloud of the test surface from different time periods is schematically shown in fig. 3, which shows that the oxygen content in the muffle chamber is not uniform, and the oxygen content concentration begins to increase along the entrance of the furnace chamber, indicating that the gas flow structure in the furnace chamber is unreasonable. In order to verify the simulation result of the WORKBENCH, the simulation results are simulated for multiple times, and the experimental results are compared and analyzed to obtain the optimal scheme of the gas distribution and heat storage performance of the muffle furnace chamber.
