The channel walls exhibit the convective boundary conditions. In addition, the effects due to Soret and Dufour are taken into consideration. Resulting problems are solved for the series solutions. Numerical values of heat and mass transfer rates are displayed and studied. Results indicate that the concentration and temperature of the fluid increase whereas the mass transfer rate at the wall decreases with increase of the mass transfer Biot number. Furthermore, it is observed that the temperature decreases with the increase of the heat transfer Biot number.展开更多

Based on the OpenFOAM platform, dissolution model coupled with heat and mass transfer was established. Applying the Rosin-Rammler function, alumina particle size distribution under different feeding quantities was obtained. The temperature response of electrolyte after feeding was included and calculated, and the dissolution processes of alumina with different feeding quantities (0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 kg) after feeding were simulated in 300 kA aluminum reduction cell. The results show that with the increase of feeding quantity, accumulated mass fraction of dissolved alumina decreases, and the time required for the rapid dissolution stage extends. When the feeding quantity is 0.6 kg and 1.2 kg, it takes the shortest time for the electrolyte temperature dropping before rebounding back. With the increase of feeding quantity, the dissolution rate in the rapid dissolution stage increases at first and then decreases gradually. The most suitable feeding quantity is 1.2 kg. The fitting equation of alumina dissolution curve under different feeding quantities is obtained, which can be used to evaluate the alumina dissolution and guide the feeding quantity and feeding cycle.展开更多
