Modelagem e simulação da eficiência de uma fornalha de craqueamento de 1,2 dicloroetano.

Abstract

The Combustion process has great importance to the industrial development. In recent years the Brazilian Industrial sector comes suffering increases in the prices from the natural gas and the environment legislation is each more restrictive time. The sector industrial mainly the companies who have as direct competition the imported products concur each time more with competitive market being necessary the reduction of changeable costs of production. As much of the economic point of view as environment is basic the deep knowledge and control of the combustion reaction that occur in the cracking furnace for the adoption of measures of bigger energy efficient that a more rational exploitation of the energy and a lesser disposal of pollutants results as for example CO and NOx. This work presents a structuralized methodological analyzes to evaluated the combustion´s efficiency in a cracking furnace of 1,2 Ethane Dichloride for the direct and indirect method as well as the thermal losses in the furnaces and the effectively useful load for the system. The efficiency of a furnace is gotten by the determination of the percentage of the energy supplied to the furnace and the percentages of thermal losses due some phenomena in the operation of the furnace. The evaluated thermal losses in this work had been the losses of the gases of combustion, the wall of the furnace and the losses due to the fuel that did not burn. In this work also the behavior of the efficiency of the furnace with the variation of the level of air excess was evaluated for the combustion.
