My name is Muhamad Azkhariandra Aryaputra. This is a pyrolysis tank with a heat exchanger.
We will make CFD analysis a heat transfer analysis to determine the pyrolysis tank capacity.
In this heat transfer analysis of a pyrolysis reactor tube for sheep manure, the outer boundary serves as the heat source and the heat source is from the hole beneath the tank, while the middle section functions as the reactor chamber. The temperature distribution indicates that heat is concentrated along the outer surface, gradually transferring inward. However, the inner reactor region remains relatively cooler, suggesting a significant thermal gradient.
This non-uniform heat penetration could impact the pyrolysis efficiency, as proper thermal decomposition requires consistent and sufficient heating throughout the reactor. The highest temperature zones (highlighted in yellow and white) suggest localized heat accumulation near specific sections, which may lead to uneven pyrolysis and potential thermal stress on the reactor walls. Optimizing heat conduction by improving material properties, adjusting heat input, or incorporating better insulation strategies could help achieve a more uniform temperature distribution, enhancing the overall efficiency of the pyrolysis process.
