Abstract
A computational fluid dynamic model has been developed to investigate the efficiency of a direct-contact metal recovery condenser as function of the operating conditions (droplet diameters, droplet injection rate) and overall condenser dimensions. The Eulerian-Lagrangian approach is used to model the condenser where liquid zinc droplets are injected into a metallic vapor laden gas flow stream so that zinc vapor can directly condense on the droplets. The results show that there exists and optimum droplet injection rate which maximizes the condenser efficiency.
