微通道中液氮的流动沸腾——两相流动压降分析

对液氮在直径为0.531 mm,加热长度为250mm的圆管中的流动沸腾压降和传热特性进行研究.作为第一部分,主要对微通道中液氮的两相流动压降进行试验研究与分析.结果表明:在核态沸腾起始时,质量流量迅速降低,而压降突然增大,并伴随着明显的温度滞后,幅度约为4.0～5.0 K.由于压降很大,在微通道内液氮的两相流动中会出现闪蒸,从而对质量干度产生重要影响.最后,利用均相模型和三个两相流动模型(L-M模型,Chisholm B系数模型和Friedel模型)对微通道沿程压降进行分析和比较.不同于常规通道的是,均相模型可以很好地预测压降试验结果,而三个两相流动模型的预测偏差较大,这是由于在微小通道中的高速流动情况下,汽相和液相混合比较均匀;同时液氮的液汽密度比很小,这也有利于均相模型的预测.

Online rheological measurement of dilute liquid-solid two-phase flow with ultrasound Doppler technique

An online and non-invasive ultrasound Doppler based rheometric method is proposed to measure the flow parameters in a dilute liquid-solid two-phase flow and analyze its rheological behaviours. The flow rate is obtained by integrating the ultrasound Doppler velocity profiles through annuluses formed across the cross-sectional area of the pipe while the pressure drop is calculated by choosing suitable models that captures the working conditions of quasi-homogeneous and heterogeneous dilute liquid-solid flows. Wall shear rate and wall shear stress are obtained from the above measurements with the rheological measurement models established. An experimental platform is built to form polystyrene-water and sand-water liquid-solid two-phase fluids for tests. The proposed method has mean absolute errors of 2.53% and 3.49% in flow rate measurement and 3.67% and 5.87% in pressure measurement for polystyrene-water and sand-water fluids, respectively. The experimental results have shown that the rheological characteristics of both fluids fit well with the power law fluid model.     

High GVF and low pressure gas–liquid two-phase flow measurement based on dual-cone flowmeter

Parameter measurement of gas–liquid two-phase flows with a high gas volume fraction (GVF) has received great attention in the research field of multiphase flow. The cone meter, as a new proposed differential pressure (DP) meter, is increasingly being applied in flowrate measurement of gas–liquid two-phase flow. A dual-parameter measurement method of gas–liquid two-phase flow based on a dual-cone meter is proposed. The two-phase flow is investigated in a horizontal pipeline with high GVF and low pressure, and exists in the form of annular flow. By adding a second cone meter, both gas mass fraction (GMF) and mass flowrate are measured. The pressure drop performances of five different sized cones have been discussed to make a cooperating cone selection and efficiently position the dual-cone in the pipe. Dual-cone flowmeter experiments of 0.45 and 0.65 equivalent diameter ratio combination, and 0.65 and 0.85 equivalent diameter ratio combination are respectively carried out to analyze the linearity of two-phase flow multiplier with Lockhart–Martinelli parameter and obtain the dual-parameter measurement results. The relative experiment error of GMF, gas mass flowrate and total mass flowrate are respectively within ±7%, ±5% and ±10%. The relative error of the liquid phase is within ±10% when the liquid mass fraction is beyond 40%. The experimental results show that it is efficient to utilize this dual-cone method for high GVF and low pressure gas–liquid two-phase flow measurement.     

Measurement of high-water-content oil-water two-phase flow by electromagnetic flowmeter and differential pressure based on phase-isolation

When the oil field has been exploited by long-term water-flooding, it will be in high water-content stage of production. However, it is a great challenge for high-water-content measurement due to oil droplets extremely dispersed in the water. In this paper, we developed a phase-isolation based method for high-water-content oil-water two-phase flow measurement. Phase-isolation was realized by axial-flow swirler to concentrate scattered and random oil droplets into the pipe center and change the inlet flow pattern into a particular annular flow before measuring. Owing to the axisymmetric velocity and phase distribution, the electromagnetic flow meter avoided the effect of random distribution of insulating phase, and then had a good measurement performance for total volume flow rate. Furthermore, we respectively studied using axial pressure drop, radial pressure drop and the ratio of the two pressure drops to measure water content. The results showed that the ratio of the two pressure drops not only improves the resolution of oil and water, but also effectively reduces the impact of error transfer. In the dual-parameter measurement experiment, the relative errors of total volume flow rate and water content were almost within ±5%.     

A new method of two-phase flow measurement by orifice plate differential pressure noise

The mechanism of differential pressure noise of orifices in two-phase flow has been investigated and a theoretical model has been developed for measurement of the double parameters, i.e. mass flow rate as well as phase fraction (steam quality). The model has been proved in a set of orifice experiments in a two-phase flow system at a pressure range of 5.8–12.1 MPa and steam quality of 0.05–0.95, and a practical model has been fitted. The r.m.s. errors of mass flow rate and steam quality estimated by the model are 9.0 and 6.5%, respectively. The results of the studies create a method to measure double parameters of two-phase flow at once using only a single orifice.     

低黏度液-固两相磨粒流湍流调控与结构化表面光整加工技术研究

针对结构化表面不易采用工具实现精密光整加工的问题,提出了一种基于低黏度液-固两相磨粒流的精密光整加工新方法。该方法采用约束模块与被加工结构化表面构成磨粒流流道,将低黏度液体与微细磨粒按照一定体积分数混合形成液-固两相磨粒流,当磨粒流以湍流状态流经所构建的流道时,通过磨粒微力微量切削的频繁作用实现流道表面的逐步光整加工。由于磨粒流在湍流状态下易于实现表面加工纹理无序化,从而提高表面质量,因此对比研究了约束模块优化前后所构成的流道中磨粒流的压力分布、速度分布和湍动能分布,得出优化设计后的约束模块易于形成均匀湍流的结论。在自行搭建的低黏度液-固两相磨粒流加工装置上进行了光整加工试验,结果表明,经过50h的光整加工,工件表面粗糙度由Ra=93.28nm减小到Ra=42.78nm,从而证明了该方法的可行性和有效性。     

Void fraction measurement in steam–water two-phase flow using the gamma ray attenuation under high pressure and high temperature evaporating conditions

The void fraction is one of the most important parameters used to characterize gas–liquid two-phase flow, and a myriad of researchers have investigated it under the adiabatic flow conditions. The gamma ray attenuation is a frequently used non-intrusive method for measuring component volume fraction in gas–liquid two-phase flow system. In this paper, firstly, the influence of the various parameters and test conditions on the gamma ray attenuation have been completely examined, such as the calibration of Count Rate for pure gas and liquid phases, the influences of fluid temperature, phase changing point and fluid mass velocity, distance between gamma ray attenuation measuring instrument and experimental section etc. Secondly, the measurement of void fraction was taken in the vertically upward pipes under high pressure and high temperature evaporating conditions. The experimental results of void fraction were compared with the data in reference literature for measurement, the results from the gamma ray attenuation show good agreement with the literature for air–water two-phase flows, but for the evaporating conditions, a small number of compared data beyond the statistical approach for 90% of confidence interval due to some reasons, such as heat flux, the diameter of Taylor-bubbles, longitude of slugs etc. Finally, six predicted correlations from four groups were selected for comparing with the experimental data. The most of compared data were within the statistical approach for 85% of confidence interval. In general, the void fraction was rarely investigated and the available data was limited under high temperature and high pressure evaporating conditions. The investigations of present study are helpful to resolve the difficulties of measuring for gas–liquid two-phase flows concerning to the heated evaporating condition.     

Determination of void fraction in wet-gas vertical flows via differential pressure measurement

The measurement of void fraction in multiphase flow is important for a wide range of industrial processes. Existing methods for void fraction measurement require intrusive, expensive and potentially hazardous equipments which constrict the flow, adding both capital and operational costs. Two phase flow experiments were carried out at the National Engineering Laboratory (NEL) to measure void fraction via pressure drop in a vertical pipe. Additional experiments are carried out at Spirax Sarco Inc. to validate the efficacy of the method on steam/water flow mixtures at high temperature and pressure, in gas mass fraction range between 0.17 and 0.95 and void fraction range between 0.75 and 1.0. The void fraction calculated by the presented differential pressure (dP) method is confirmed via established correlations. The work demonstrates the efficacy of a low cost, non-intrusive method to determine void fraction in two phase flow over a wide range of flow conditions.

Coupled model of dual differential pressure (DDP) for two-phase flow measurement based on phase-isolation method

Phase-isolation is a novel ever-increasing multiphase separation technology, which can facilitate the multiphase fluid flowing concurrently with a substantially clear interface between two phases, and the phenomenon is promisingly employed for the separation and measurement of multiphase flows. Phase-isolation can be implemented by different kinds of lateral forces, of which the centrifugal force induced by the swirlers is the most convenient method. The radial pressure drop between pipe wall and pipe center, and the axial pressure drop along the pipe wall occurs at the downstream of the swirler. In the paper, the coupling model of dual differential pressure (DDP) including the radial-axial differential pressure and radial-radial differential pressure was built employing centrifugal phase-isolation for oil-water two-phase flow, and the theoretical measurement models were validated by our experimental data. At certain cross sections downstream of the swirler, the deviations between theoretical and experimental result of the volumetric oil fraction λ_o and mass flowrate Q_m were below ±7.16% and ±1.14% respectively when the radial-axial differential pressure was adopted, while the deviations between theoretical and experimental result of λ_o and Q_m were below ±6.91% and ±1.13% respectively using the radial-radial differential pressure. The acceptable deviation indicates that the DDP model can be the reference for the analysis and application of two-phase flow in the academic research and practical engineering.
