Computational analysis of the flow of pseudoplastic power-law fluids in a microchannel plate

The flow of pseudoplastic power-law fluids with different flow indexes at a microchannel plate was studied using computational fluid dynamic simulation.The velocity distribution along the microchannel plate and especially in the microchannel slits,flow pattern along the outlet arc and the pressure drop through the whole of microchannel plate were investigated at different power-law flow indexes.The results showed that the velocity profile in the microchannel slits for low flow index fluids was similar to the plug flow and had uniform pattern.Also the power-law fluids with lower flow indexes had lower stagnation zones near the outlet of the microchannel plate.The pressure drop through the microchannel plate showed huge differences between the fluids.The most interesting result was that the pressure drops for power-law fluids were very smaller than that of Newtonian fluids.In addition,the heat transfer of the fluids through the microchannel with different channel numbers in a wide range of Reynolds number was investigated.For power-law fluid with flow index (n =0.4),the Nusselt number increases continuously as the number of channels increases.The results highlight the potential use of using pseudoplastic fluids in the microheat exchangers which can lower the pressure drop and increase the heat transfer efflciency.     

纸桨泵叶轮中纤维悬浮湍流的流动特性(英文)

A numerical method for predicting fiber orientation is presented to explore the flow properties of turbu-lent fiber suspension flowing through a stock pump impeller. The Fokker-Planck equation is used to describe the distribution of fiber orientation. The effect of flow-fiber coupling is considered by modifying the constitutive mode. The three-dimensional orientation distribution function is formulated and the corresponding equations are solved in terms of second-order and fourth-order orientation tensors. The evolution of fiber orientation, flow velocity and pressure, additional shear stress and normal stress difference are presented. The results show that the evolutions of fiber orientation are different along different streamlines. The velocity and its gradient are large in the concave wall region, while they are very small in the convex wall region. The additional shear stress and normal stress difference are large in the inlet and concave wall regions, and moderate in the mid-region, while they are almost zero in most downstream regions. The non-equilibrium fiber orientation distribution is dominant at the inlet and the concave wall regions. The flow will consume more energy to overcome the additional shearing losses due to fibers at the inlet and the concave wall regions. The change of flow rates has effect on the distribution of additional shear stress and normal stress difference. The flow structure in the inlet and concave wall regions is essential in the resultant rheological properties of the fiber suspension through the stock pump impeller, which will directly affect the flow efficiency of the fiber suspension through the impeller.     

多管气升式环流反应器的液体循环

A multi-tube air-lift loop reactor (MT-ALR) is presented in this paper. Based on the energy conservation, a mathematical model describing the liquid circulation flow rate was developed, which was determined by gas velocity, the cross areas of riser and downcomer, gas hold-up and the local frictional loss coefficient. The experimental data indicate that either increase of gas flow rate or reduction of the downcomer diameter contributes to higher liquid circulation rate. The correlation between total and the local frictional loss coefficients was also established.Effects of gas flowrate in two risers and diameter of downcomer on the liquid circulation rate were examined. The value of total frictional loss coefficient was measured as a function of the cross area of downcomer and independent of the gas flow rate. The calculated results of liquid circulation rates agreed well with the experimental data with an average relative error of 9.6%.     

齿边浮阀塔内气相流场的数值模拟和分析

A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics （CFD） model for gas flow through a serrated valve tray was presented. The flow field, as well as the dry-pressure drop of the valve under the full-opening condition was simulated based on the proposed model by using FLUENT 6.0 software. Compared with the values of dry-pressure dro.p in different turbulent models, the.simulated.results using RNG κ-ε model are in reasonable agreement with experimental data, indicating that RNG κ-ε model is suitable in simulating gas flow through the serrated valve tray. Then the CFD model combining RNG κ-ε model was used to study the three-dimensional gas flow through the considered serrated valve tray. The simulated results showed that various eddies existed on the serrated valve tray, and both the eddy and the non-eddy areas were nearly equal. The existence of addendum can decrease the eddy area caused by gas passing through the lateral outlet slots. The size of eddies can be reduced by optimizing the distance between valves.     

Performance of dual-throat supersonic separation device with porous wall structure

In this paper, a dual-throat supersonic separation device with porous wall has been proposed to solve the starting problem of supersonic separator, and the feasibility of the proposed device has been tested numerically and experimentally. Its flow characteristics have been investigated and the effect of some important parameters includ-ing nozzle pressure ratio （RNP）, inlet temperature and swirl intensity were examined. In the device, the supersonic flow state and strong centrifugal acceleration of 240000g can be obtained, which are necessary for the condensation and separation of water vapor. The supersonic region in the device enlarged and the shock wave shifted downstream along with the increasing RNP. The separation performance was improved with the increasing RNP and the inlet temperature. The best separation performance in this study was obtained withΔTd=28 K.     

LIQUID AXIAL BACKMIXING IN MULTISTAGE BUBBLE COLUMN

The characteristics of a staged bubble column can be described by a multi-stage backmixing model,provided: (1) Each stage can be considered as a perfect mixing reactor,and (2) The backmixing coeffi-cients do not vary with time and reactant concentrations.Experimental results indicate that the first conditionis approached under certain conditions,while the second assumption is correct.Studies were made using steady state chemical tracer method to determine the backmixing coefficientsof each plate between stages.The fluid flow through the holes of perforatcd plates is a stochastic process.From the statistical point,the experimental data could be correlated by semicmpirical equation developed.This equation can also be used to correlate the data reported by Nishiwaki for bubble column with plateshaving high percentage of opening area and large size holes between stages.Continuous oxidation of unsaturated sulfur compounds (mainly in the form of thiosulfatc and also somein polythionate form) in nickel ammonium carbonate solution were carried out in bubble columns with heightof 3400mm and diameters of 36 mm and 100mm respectively.The oxidation has to be taken in a multistagebubble column for high degree of oxidation.The axial concentration of unsaturated sulfur compoundsalong a multi-stage bubble column can be calculated from the backmixing model and the kinetic equationof oxidation.Results of calculation agree with the data taken along the column height.Equation was alsodeveloped to calculate the optimum temperatures of oxidation which agree favorably with the experimentalresults.     

PART Ⅱ TWO DIMENSIONAL FIXED NUMBER MIXING POOL MODEL

A new mathematical model of mixing pool type is proposed for simulating the fluid flow and masstransfer behavior on a large tray.In the proposed model,the whole tray is divided into a number ofsquare (or rectangular)compartments or mixing pools,each of which is assigned to have adjustableflow and baekmixing in both z (along the main flow path) and w(perpendicular to the main flow path)directions.The chief features of present model are: (1) It is two dimensional model instead of usualone dimensional so that more complicated actual flowing condition obtained from hydrodynamic studyon a large tray can be closely simulated by adjusting the flow among mixing pools in both z and wdirections.(2) Since backmixing is taken into account,the number of mixing pools on a tray is fixedinstead of varied as in conventional mixing pool model; thus,the application of matrix computation ispossible.(3) The present model can be reduced to other tray models depending on the number of mixingpools to be chosen in each direction.The application of present model to predict the liquid phase concentration profiles and Murphreeefficiency enhancement on a large tray with complicated flow pattern and velocity distribution as we-observe in our experimental study are demonstrated.The effects of liquid flow rate,nonuniform veloc-.ity field,directional splashing and subsidiary flow are also investigated and discussed.

基于粒子群优化算法和非线性盲源信号分离测量两相流速度(英文)

In order to overcome the disturbance of noise,this paper presented a method to measure two-phase flow velocity using particle swarm optimization algorithm,nonlinear blind source separation and cross correlation method.Because of the nonlinear relationship between the output signals of capacitance sensors and fluid in pipeline,nonlinear blind source separation is applied.In nonlinear blind source separation,the odd polynomials of higher order are used to fit the nonlinear transformation function,and the mutual information of separation signals is used as the evaluation function.Then the parameters of polynomial and linear separation matrix can be estimated by mutual information of separation signals and particle swarm optimization algorithm,thus the source signals can be separated from the mixed signals.The two-phase flow signals with noise which are obtained from upstream and downstream sensors are respectively processed by nonlinear blind source separation method so that the noise can be effectively removed.Therefore,based on these noise-suppressed signals,the distinct curves of cross correlation function and the transit times are obtained,and then the velocities of two-phase flow can be accurately calculated.Finally,the simulation experimental results are given.The results have proved that this method can meet the measurement requirements of two-phase flow velocity.

Flow Regime Maps for Flow of Liquid Through Downcomer in a Turbulent Bed Contactor

The provision of a downcomer to classical turbulent bed Contactor (TBC) increases the gas treating capacity of the equipment. When the downcomer is provided, it is expected that all the liquid passes through the downcomer only without any liquid flow through the distributor. In the present study, the operational regime for the flow of liquid only through the downcomer is experimentally evaluated for various geometric parameters and particle characteristics. It is observed that the preferred operational regime without dumping and weeping increases with an increase in Archimedes number and downcomer diameter, and decreases with an increase in static bed height and downcomer weir height. Correlations are proposed to satisfactorily predict experimentally observed operational regime.

CFD based investigations into optimization of coal pulveriser performance: Effect of classifier vane settings

In coal-fired power plant, pulveriser is the first major component, whose performance dictates the total power plant efficiency. Uniform flow rate and desired size fraction at outlet pipes along with higher classifier efficiency are three important measures which decide the pulverizer performance. Optimization of pulverizer at its best operating conditions has been considered as a potential area that needs to be addressed for improving unit performance, emissions, operations, and maintenance. The best operating conditions are optimum air velocity and classifier vane settings. In this investigation, numerical simulations of a typical pf coal based pulveriser have been carried out for different classifier vane settings to evaluate uniform flow rate and desired size fraction at outlet pipes along with high optimum classifier efficiency. The optimum opening for the vanes has been determined based on the above measures, which not only reduces unburnt CO, SO_x and NO_x emissions at boiler end but also minimise energy consumption of mill (in terms of reductions in regrinding cost). Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of the coal classifier physical model indicate good agreement with the plant data, in terms of internal flow patterns, particle collection efficiency and desired cut size. From the simulation studies, optimum opening for the vanes is found to be 65% for selected utility which leads to closest uniformity with 60% classifying efficiency wherein 70% particles pass through 75 μm sieve.

Liquid phase mixing in turbulent bed contactor

Axial mixing of the liquid phase in turbulent bed contactor (TBC) is studied through residence time distribution (RTD) experiments over a large range of variables such as flow rate of gas and liquid phases, static bed heights, diameter and density of particles and number of stages in presence of downcomer using air water system. Since all the liquid exits only through the downcomer, it enables the correct estimation of exit concentration of the tracer. The experimental RTD curves are satisfactorily compared with the axial dispersion model. The Peclet numbers evaluated by axial dispersion model and the Peclet numbers reported in the literature are used to propose a unified correlation in terms of operating and geometric parameters. Correlation is also developed for predicting the axial dispersion coefficient. It was observed in the present study that almost plug flow conditions can be achieved in multistage TBC.
