Abstract
A physicochemical and fluid dynamic model is formulated for the numerical simulation of the flow field in a reactor for titanium dioxide production, the turbulence motion is described by theKε equation, the governing equations are solved by the SIMPLER algorithm devised by Partankar and Spalding. The velocity, tmperature and concentration fields are obtained for three cases: A) with chemical reaction and thermal insulation on the walls; B) with chemical reaction and wall temperature is 450K; C) without chemical reaction and thermal insulation on the walls, and the physicochemical numerical simulation for the titanium dioxide production has been done. The results of the paper can be used as a theoretical guide for the engineers in the design of such reactors.
