Abstract
A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamic model has been developed to investigate the efficiency of a direct-contact metal recovery condenser as a 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 zinc vapor laden gas stream so that zinc vapor can directly condense on the droplets. The results show that there exists an optimum droplet injection rate that maximizes condenser efficiency
