A simulation method of multi-coupling field stress distribution of a low-temperature carbonization furnace based on WORKBENCH is characterized by comprising the following steps:
(1) Referring to fig. 1, a CAD software Design Modeler module in the work beam test software is adopted to establish a three-dimensional simulation model of a low-temperature carbonization furnace muffle cavity fluid calculation domain and a furnace cavity structure; the parameters to be set include: muffle cavity geometry and geometric dimensions.
(2) And (2) respectively transmitting the low-temperature carbonization furnace muffle cavity fluid calculation domain established in the step (1) and the three-dimensional simulation model of the furnace cavity structure to a Mesh division Mesh module, carrying out Mesh division on the three-dimensional simulation model in the Mesh module by adopting a Sweep mode, carrying out Mesh encryption on a position close to the wall surface of the furnace cavity in order to ensure the accuracy of a flow field calculation result, ensuring that the Mesh quality of the whole structure is more than 0.5, conveniently setting calculation boundary condition parameters in the later period, and defining the inlet, the outlet and the wall boundary name of the three-dimensional simulation model.
(3) And (3) as shown in the figure 3, transmitting the three-dimensional simulation Model of the low-temperature carbonization furnace muffle cavity fluid calculation Domain divided by the grids in the step (2) to a CFX calculation module of WORKBENCH software, setting the three-dimensional simulation Model in the CFX calculation module, setting a heat transfer Model and a turbulence Model in a Domain option, and setting a Gravity Y Dirn in a Buoyancy Model to be 9.81m 2 And/s, calculating medium Material setting as nitrogen and oxygen, and setting inlet and outlet pressure values and wall surface conditions in Boundary Details options.
The procedure for setting up the CFX calculation module is as follows:
(3.1) introducing a self-defined temperature parameter compiled according to the time change rule of the temperature in the furnace in operation in an Expression option;
(3.2) in the Buoyancy option, the Y-direction Gravity Y Dirn is set to 9.81m 2 (ii) s, the Gravity X Dirn and Gravity Z Dirn are set to 0 m 2 (iv)/s, analysis type option set to Steady;
(3.3) setting Heat Transfer in the Fluid Models option as Thermal Energy, and selecting a k-epsilon model in the Turbulence option;
(3.4) selecting air and nitrogen as the computing media at the Material Library option;
(3.5) in the options of Fluid and particle Definitions, the Fluid1 part is nitrogen, and the Fluid2 part is oxygen;
(3.6) setting an inlet Boundary condition as Static Pressure in the Boundary option, setting a Heat Transfer option as an actual value, setting an outlet Boundary condition as Average Static Pressure, setting inlet and outlet pressures as actual values, setting each calculation domain as an Interface for data exchange, setting wall surfaces as convection Heat exchange surfaces, defining a furnace wall air comprehensive temperature value by using Expression, calculating a convection Heat exchange coefficient according to an actual monitoring value, and setting other wall surfaces as smooth wall surfaces;
and (3.7) selecting the Define Run and then calculating.
(4) Transmitting the three-dimensional simulation model of the furnace cavity structure of the low-temperature carbonization furnace divided by the grids in the step (2) to a Steady-state-thermal and Static-structural calculation module of WORKBENCH software, transmitting the temperature distribution and pressure distribution results calculated in the step (3) to the Steady-state-thermal and Static-structural calculation module of WORKBENCH software, introducing the temperature distribution results in an inported Load option, and performing simulation operation in a Solution option to obtain the stress distribution characteristics of the muffle structure at different temperatures, so that the stress distribution characteristics serve as the basis for designing the muffle cavity structure and operating process parameters of the low-temperature carbonization furnace; the simulation result obtained by simulation operation in the Solution option comprises the following steps: a total deformation cloud picture of the muffle cavity structure, a stress distribution cloud picture of the muffle cavity structure and a strain distribution cloud picture of the muffle cavity structure; the specific process of setting the calculation modules in the Steady-state-thermal and Static-structural calculation modules is as follows:
(4.1) respectively loading temperature field results calculated by an external flow field in an implanted Loads option in a Steady-state-thermal module, selecting a flow field and hearth structure interface as a coupling surface for data transmission, sequentially loading temperature field data of each coupling surface, then calculating the temperature in a Solution option, and loading the temperature field data to the wall surface of a furnace chamber;
(4.2) setting a gravity acceleration and a displacement constraint condition in a Steady-state-thermal module through an Insert option to enable the cavity structure to move in the horizontal direction and not move in the vertical direction, inputting a solving setting parameter in an Analysis Settings module, and setting iteration step number and a solving type.
(5) Under the same setting condition, different parameters are set for a fluid calculation domain of a muffle cavity of the low-temperature carbonization furnace and a three-dimensional simulation model of a furnace cavity structure, the temperature and the air flow speed are adjusted according to actual process parameters, and the steps (1) to (4) are repeated to carry out simulation calculation for multiple times, and the total deformation cloud picture of the muffle cavity structure, the stress distribution cloud picture of the muffle cavity structure and the strain distribution cloud picture of the muffle cavity structure are taken as the basis for determining the optimized furnace structure and air flow distribution design.
As can be seen from FIG. 3, the total deformation of the inlet and outlet in the muffle in a certain range has a large difference along the direction of the inlet and outlet, and particularly, the deformation is the largest at the middle position of the furnace chamber and exceeds 2mm. The deformation of the muffle inlet and outlet positions is uniform, and the deformation of the furnace wall in the middle of the furnace chamber is also uniform. Because the temperature of the heated parts of the muffle cavity is uneven, and larger temperature difference stress exists in some parts, particularly near the inlet and the outlet. The stainless steel muffle has larger expansion deformation along the length direction, the follow-up mechanisms must be considered at two ends of the muffle cavity structure so as to adapt to the expansion and contraction of the stainless steel muffle, and the smaller the resistance is, the better the resistance is.
As can be seen from the cloud charts of the thermal strain and stress analysis in fig. 4 and 5, the position where the thermal stress is the largest appears at the edge of the muffle cavity structure, and the maximum value is about 4MPa. This is because there is great heat exchange with the external environment of cavity, and the muffle cavity material local temperature difference is great to produce thermal stress, and the local stress concentration that the change of structure caused, simultaneously because the production carbon fiber technology requires that middle furnace chamber temperature be higher than the temperature of import and export position, this is the root cause that leads to the above-mentioned phenomenon to appear. The main reasons for the above phenomena are the structure, deformation, insufficient location and cross-sectional area of the exhaust port and the internal temperature uniformity of the stainless steel muffle of the low-temperature carbonization furnace. Therefore, the invention can improve the quality of the carbon fiber and reduce the production cost by analyzing the flow field, the temperature field and the stress field of the muffle cavity of the low-temperature furnace, and provides data reference and basis for further development of the low-temperature carbonization furnace, thereby having important significance for the construction of a carbon fiber production line.
