Analysis of Temperature Field of Electric Heating Asphalt Tank Based on Fluent
Electric heating asphalt tank is one of the main equipments for asphalt mixing plant in the future.In this paper,the fluent software is used to conduct transient analysis of the temperature field of the electric heating asphalt tank.The simulation results show that:for the horizontal electric heating asphalt tank,the asphalt of the middle of the tank has the highest tempera-ture and the asphalt near the bottom of the tank has the lowest temperature;through the analysis of the asphalt flow field,it is found that the asphalt velocity:the faster,the higher the asphalt temperature;at the same time,the asphalt temperature field is symmetrically distributed in the vertical midplane of the tank.The layout of electric heating pipes was further studied,and the results show that:the electric heating pipes with T-shaped layout can speed up the temperature rise of asphalt and make the temperature distribution more uniform.
