Numerical Investigation of Tungsten Reduction Process

Abstract

The subject of this research was a chemical reactor for the producing tungsten coverings by means of chemical vapor deposition. The physical and mathematical model of viscous incompressible fluid motion and heat and mass transfer in a vortex chamber has been described. The velocity field, the temperature and the concentration distributions in a vortex chamber were obtained. Calculations reliability was verified by different methods. Parametric studies on effects of the Reynolds, Prandtl and Rossbi criteria on the flow characteristics were performed.
