Abstract

This study is on SCR reactor, NOx reduction system in Marine that has been an issue nowadays. Especially design data was obtained by numerical on flow uniformity that is one of the design factor in SCR reactor. Also pressure drop on catalyst size inserted into SCR reactor was compared by experiment and numerical analysis. S/W, numerical analysis used for this study was confirmed that the result of numerical analysis used STAR-CCM+, common use CFD code, pressure drop on catalyst is not big different from the result of numerical analysis. In addition, degree of uniformity of liquid on SCR reactor was over 0.9. Whereas it was assured that degree of uniformity of liquid was changed depends on the shape of pipe at the entrance of SCR.
