Numerical Simulation of Thermal Field and Flow Field in Pusher Reduction Furnace
The biggest challenge in using a pusher reduction furnace for the reduction and purification of uranium oxide particles in a hydrogen environment is how to achieve the uniformity of gas distribution and stability of temperature field in each temperature zone of the pusher reduc-tion furnace.It combines the numerical simulation of the thermal and flow fields of the pusher reduction furnace under operating conditions and analyzes the internal flow field and temperature field distribution of the pusher reduction furnace tube,and ensures that the developed pusher reduction furnace has no design defects.By comprehensively considering the heat transfer modes such as conduction,convection,and radia-tion during the operation of the pusher reduction furnace,the temperature field and flow field distribution in various temperature zones of the e-quipment during hydrogen reduction inside the pusher reduction furnace under simulated conditions were obtained,providing important theoret-ical data support for the design and manufacturing of this type of equipment.
