受限空间内空心锥形喷雾-横流掺混规律

在自建的冷态横流-旋流喷雾两相掺混系统实验台上,采用PIV测量了掺混通道内气液两相掺混过程中液滴群的运动特性,获得了掺混流场中不同位置的液滴分布图像与流场结构特性。实验段结构为方腔（横截面尺寸为95 mm×95 mm）,喷嘴采用空心锥形雾化喷嘴。对影响掺混效果的主要参数（横流速度、喷嘴雾化压力、喷嘴雾化粒径）进行了详细研究,绘出了最佳掺混效果下各参数关系曲线。掺混过程主要受不同尺度的旋涡结构影响,液滴多富集于旋涡边缘,稳定的大尺度涡不利于掺混。提高掺混效果的途径即是避免流场中出现稳定的大尺度旋涡结构,采用喷嘴前倾布置、增加喷嘴个数、确定合适的横流速度均是提高掺混效果的有效途径。分析方法与研究结果为工程实际应用中掺混室结构的设计及掺混性能的改进提供了依据和参考。

Predictive models for characterizing the atomization process in pyrolysis of methyl ricinoleate

Pyrolysis of methyl ricinoleate(MR) can produce undecylenic acid methyl ester and heptanal which are important chemicals. Atomization feeding favors the heat exchange in the pyrolysis process and hence increases the product yield. Herein, predictive models to characterize the atomization process were developed. The effect of spray distance on Sauter mean diameter(SMD) of atomized MR droplets was examined, with the optimal spray distance to be 40–50 mm. Temperature mainly affected the physical properties of feedstock, with smaller droplet size obtained at increasing temperature. In addition, pressure had significant influence on SMD and higher pressure resulted in smaller atomized droplets. Then, a model for SMD prediction, combining temperature, pressure, spray distance, and structural parameters of nozzle, was developed through dimensionless analysis. The results showed that SMD was a power function of Reynolds number(Re), Ohnesorge number(Oh), and the ratio of spray distance to diameter of swirl chamber in the nozzle(H/dsc), with the exponents of -1.6618,-1.3205 and 0.1038, respectively. The experimental measured SMD was in good agreement with the calculated values, with the error within ±15%. Moreover, the droplet size distribution was studied by establishing the relationship between the standard deviation of droplet size and SMD. This study could provide reference to the regulation and optimization of the atomization process in MR pyrolysis.     

Influence of Atomizing Parameters on Droplet Properties in a Pulse Combustion Spray Dryer

A pulse combustor employed in a spray-drying system offers a new approach for liquid atomization that yields high-quality powders at low cost. Using a pulse combustion atomizer, there is no need for any form of nozzle dispersion and its atomization mechanism differs from those of conventional atomizers, such as rotary atomizers and pressure and pneumatic nozzles. In this work, based on the analysis of atomization mechanism, experiments of unsteady pulsating atomization were carried out in an experimental system of a Helmholtz-type pulse combustor. An optical analyzer was used for measuring the mean diameter of atomized droplet and droplet distribution. The effects of liquid feed rate, air flow oscillatory frequency, and liquid viscosity on atomized droplet size and size distribution were investigated and analyzed. The results indicate that the uniform droplet size distribution can be obtained under the conditions of a low feed rate, high-frequency pulsating flow, and moderate viscosity. The range of the droplets' Sauter mean diameter (SMD) is between 50 and 80 µm. The pulsating air flow from the pulse combustor can be used to atomize liquid or slurry without a nozzle and the atomizing quality can meet the requirements of spray drying.

Experimental investigation and model improvement on the atomization performance of single-hole Y-jet nozzle with high liquid flow rate

Y-jet nozzle, as an efficient multi-hole internal-mixing twin-fluid atomizer, has been widely used for liquid fuel spray in many industrial processes. However, single-hole Y-jet nozzle with high liquid flow rate is indispensable in some confined situations due to a small spray cone angle. In this paper, the atomization performance of single-hole Y-jet nozzles with high liquid mass flow rates ranging from 400 to 1500 kg/h for practical semidry flue gas desulfurization processes was investigated by the laser particle size analyzer, and the effects of spray water pressure, atomizing air pressure and air to liquid mass flow ratio on the liquid mass flow rate and the droplet size distribution were analyzed. Moreover, the secondary atomization model was modified on the basis of previous random atomization model of Y-jet nozzle. The predicted results agreed well with the experimental ones, and the improved atomization model of Y-jet nozzle was well validated to design the nozzle geometry and to predict the droplet size distributions for single-hole Y-jet nozzle with high liquid mass flow rate.

Solid-liquid separation in suspension atomization

The aim of this paper is to define the conditions controlling the fragmentation process within the atomization of a suspension. Correlations for the droplet diameter of a suspension spray generated by a twin-fluid nozzle have been derived. Two separate regimes in suspension atomization have been identified with respect to the solid particle size. The atomized droplets from suspensions containing relatively fine solid particles are suspension droplets (containing liquid and solid particles). In this case a correlation for the drop size distribution in the spray of a twin-fluid nozzle has been deduced. Droplet size measurements in the suspension spray with varying solid particle sizes showed that when the suspended solid particle size exceeds a critical value, solid particles and liquid will be more and more separated. This effect is indicated by a bimodal size distribution in the suspension spray. It is shown that complete solid-liquid separation in the suspension spray may be achieved, where the pure liquid drops are significantly smaller than the separated solid particles. The critical process conditions where the solid-liquid separation process is found will be derived. Depending on the operating conditions of the atomizer, the resulting pure liquid droplet size is equal or less than the hydraulic diameter.     

Experimental investigation on atomizing characteristics of coal-water paste for pressurized fluidized bed

According to the properties of coal-water paste (CWP), a series of experimental nozzles were developed for a detailed study of the effect of nozzle design on CWPs behavior in a pressurized fluidized bed. The particle size and its distribution of atomized CWP using several types of nozzles are measured by PIV instrument and newly developed image processing software, and the effect of a number of factors on the atomizing properties are analyzed. The atomizing experimental results show that the atomization quality of CWP was found by correlating with the characteristics of CWP, gas to CWP mass ratio, atomization air motion, coal particle size distribution and the structure of nozzle etc. Mass median diameter (MMD) of atomized particles decreases with the increase of gas to CWP mass ratio. The proper type of nozzle type and proper parameters for engineering application are suggested.     

Experimental Study of the Effect of High Back-Pressure on the Atomization of a Plain Jet Injector Under Coaxial Air Flow

An experimental study was carried out on the effect of high back-pressure on the spray characteristics of a plain jet injector in coaxial air flow. The back-pressures tested ranged from 100 to 1600 kPa, the velocity range of coaxially flowing air is 60–120 m/s. The working fluid was water. The injector hole diameter was 0.5 mm. The key feature of the experiment was to use a convergent-divergent nozzle connected to the atomization test chamber to maintain a high back-pressure in the chamber for atomization, and at the same time, to maintain a high-velocity air flow in the atomization region. Thus, it totally eliminated the air recirculation and droplet slow-settling problem in the commonly used pressurized vessel for high back-pressure atomization study. The results show that the Sauter mean diameter decreases monotonically with the increase of back pressure. At different air velocities, the effect of back pressure is different. The drop size distribution becomes more non-uniform slightly with increasing back pressure.
