This paper reports on a research project that studies the effect of particle size on the coating efficiency and coating uniformity in a powder coating system using the computational fluid dynamics as a modelling tool. The numerical simulations are conducted for different particle sizes with different distances between the spray gun and the coating part and different positions of the powder spray gun pattern adjuster sleeve (PAS). This study can provide detailed information on air flow pattern and particle trajectories inside the powder coating booth, and the coating film thickness on the coated part as well as the particle transfer efficiency (PTE). In numerical simulations, the air flow field is obtained by solving three‐dimensional Navier‐Stokes equations with standard κ‐ϵ turbulence model and non‐equilibrium wall function. The second phase, the coating powder, consists of spherical particles that are dispersed in the continuous phase, the air. In addition to solving transport equations for the air, the trajectories of the particles are calculated by solving the particle motion equations using the Lagrangian method. It is assumed that particle‐particle interaction can be neglected. The electrostatic field is modelled by solving the Laplace equation. 相似文献

A stochastic modeling approach based on a Monte Carlo method for fluidized bed layering and coating is presented. In this method, the process is described by droplet deposition on the particle surface, droplet drying and the formation of a solid layer due to drying. The model is able to provide information about the coating coverage (fraction of the particle surface covered with coating), the particle‐size distribution, and the layer thickness distribution of single particles. Analytical solutions for simplified test cases are used to validate the model theoretically. The simulation results are compared with experimental data on particle‐size distributions and layer thickness distributions of single particles coated in a lab‐scale fluidized bed. Good agreement between the simulation results and the measured data is observed. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 62: 2670–2680, 2016 相似文献

Mechanical behavior of SiO2 nanoparticle‐epoxy matrix composites was investigated via finite element analysis with an emphasis on the nanofiller‐interphase debonding effect using a three‐dimensional nanoscale representative volume element (RVE). The new model, in which a cohesive zone material (CZM) layer is considered as an inclusion‐interphase bonding, can be applied to polymer nanocomposites reinforced by inclusions of different forms, including spherical, cylindrical, and platelet shapes. Upon validation by experimental data, the model was used to study the effects of interphase properties, nanoparticle size, and inclusion volume fraction on the mechanical properties of nanocomposites. According to the results, taking into account the inclusion‐interphase debonding provides more precise results compared with perfect bonding, especially in nanocomposites with nanoparticles of smaller size. Moreover, the outcomes disclosed that the amount of changes in the elastic modulus by particle size variation is higher when the relative thickness (the interphase thickness to the particle diameter ratio) increases. For relative thicknesses lower than a critical value, the particle size and the interphase properties have negligible effect on the elastic modulus of the nanocomposite, and the elastic modulus of nanocomposite mostly depends on nanofiller content.

Yodel: A Yield Stress Model for Suspensions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A model for the yield stress of particulate suspensions is presented that incorporates microstructural parameters taking into account volume fraction of solids, particle size, particle size distribution, maximum packing, percolation threshold, and interparticle forces. The model relates the interparticle forces between particles of dissimilar size and the statistical distribution of particle pairs expected for measured or log-normal size distributions. The model is tested on published data of sub-micron ceramic suspensions and represents the measured data very well, over a wide range of volume fractions of solids. The model shows the variation of the yield stress of particulate suspensions to be inversely proportional to the particle diameter. Not all the parameters in the model could be directly evaluated; thus, two were used as adjustable variables: the maximum packing fraction and the minimum interparticle separation distance. The values for these two adjustable variables provided by the model are in good agreement with separate determinations of these parameters. This indicates that the model and the approximations used in its derivation capture the main parameters that influence the yield stress of particulate suspensions and should help us to better predict changes in the rheological properties of complex suspensions. The model predicts the variation of the yield stress of particulate suspensions to be inversely proportional to the particle diameter, but the experimental results do not show a clear dependence on diameter. This result is consistent with previous evaluations, which have shown significant variations in this dependence, and the reasons behind the yield stress dependence on particle size are discussed in the context of the radius of curvature of particles at contact. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to develop some new concepts of importance when trying to optimize the viscosity/modulus and impact relative to the particle‐size distribution in suspensions and particulate composites. The results of this study appear to indicate that, conceptually, it is possible to significantly improve the viscosity versus the impact balance for material formulations by optimizing the particle‐size distribution. For binary particle‐size distributions, the influence of the preferred particle‐size distribution, as determined using a square‐root distribution, did not yield the most desirable particle‐size distribution if the particle‐to‐particle component of the interaction coefficient was high. However, if three or more particles were utilized in the distribution, then the optimum particle‐size distribution utilized can apparently be characterized using the square‐root distribution even when the particle–particle component, σpc, of the interaction coefficient, σ, was found to be quite high. In addition, this same square‐root particle‐size distribution can also satisfactorily predict a probability of impact that can remain consistently high as long as the particles utilized are well chosen and not too close in size. Thus, this preferred particle‐size distribution can be utilized to predict at least one of the preferred distributions to optimize the balance of properties between impact and the viscosity/modulus. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Both a new modeling approach and new experimental data for the sediment build‐up in centrifuges are presented. In semibatch apparatus, the suspension is continuously fed to the centrifuge, separating the particles inside the rotor and discharging the clarified liquid. The solid phase is removed once the capacity of the centrifuge is reached. The solids fraction of the sediment depends on the rheological properties of the cake. The sediment growth and consolidation throughout the process can be calculated using a pseudo two‐dimensional approach that takes into account particle‐size dependent settling, sediment compressibility, the centrifugal force field, and the geometry of the bowl. The predictions of the separation behavior and the particle‐size distributions of the sediment and overflow are compared with experimentally obtained results, showing improved accuracy when compared to simpler models. The model presented is applicable to all solid‐bowl centrifuges without conveying systems. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 59: 3843–3855, 2013 相似文献

A two‐dimensional model has been developed to simulate particle penetration through porous media. The particle penetration depends on many parameters including the Reynolds number, particle drag coefficient, the ratio of the diameter of injected to filtered particles, fluid velocity, and pore size, etc. The numerical model for separation efficiency in periodic porous media was studied. Previous work has described the effects of injected particle size, Reynolds number and particle drag coefficient. In this study, the porous media flow is modeled (solution of the Navier‐Stokes equations) by using the finite element method, and the analysis is restricted to the case of two‐dimensional periodic porous media. The effects of these factors and particle depth distribution in porous media are investigated. It is noted that the results for the three Reynolds numbers 1, 16.56, and 100, are qualitatively similar, and about 40 % of particles are trapped in the top part of the filter. 相似文献

This work deals with the fluidized bed coating and agglomeration of solid particles. The effect of particle size on coating criteria was investigated using sand particles as the coating support and aqueous solutions containing NaCl as coating liquid. The results showed that both growth rate and efficiency increase with decreasing the particle size. The growth was mainly governed by layering for particles larger than 200 μm, whereas for finer particles it occurred by agglomeration. As the particle size became less than 90 μm, the coating operation led to uncontrolled growth and bed quenching. However, the coating of the same particles was successfully achieved by adding some coarser particles. In addition, a mathematical model based on the population balance concept, taking into account the simultaneous growth by layering and agglomeration, was established to predict the time evolution of the particle size distribution. The comparison between experimental and calculated data permitted the establishment of a law for the size dependency of the agglomeration kernel. 相似文献

Stress development during drying is a critical factor that affects the final structure and properties of a coated fiber or spherical product. Stress development during drying of the coating is due to nonuniform shrinkage and physical constraints. In this study, a large deformation elasto‐viscoplastic model is developed to predict stress development in drying fibers and spheres after the coatings solidify. From the model, stress evolution in the drying fibers/spheres can be predicted by a partial differential equation of diffusion in one dimension, a first‐order partial differential equation of pressure distribution, and two ordinary differential equations on local evolution of the stress‐free state. The system of equations is solved by the Galerkin/finite element method in the one dimensional axial/spherical symmetric coatings. Solutions show changes in solvent concentration and viscous stress as the coating dries. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 90: 3934–3944, 2003 相似文献

The use of simple compartmentalized population balance (PB) models was investigated for describing the crystal size distributions (CSD) of two different laboratory batch gibbsite crystallizers, one uniformly‐mixed and the other inhomogeneously‐mixed with respect to particulate phase. The compartments were selected on the basis of the shear rate and solids concentration distribution maps generated by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In the inhomogeneously‐mixed case, the CSD predicted by the compartmental model was highly sensitive to the relationship between the agglomeration kernel and shear rate used to describe the local agglomeration rate. This observation is consistent with recent findings reported in the literature that to correctly account for the agglomeration process in crystallizers its kinetic formulation should be based on the local rather than the volume‐averaged properties. 相似文献

The present work attempts to consider the microscopic mechanisms of spray fluidized bed agglomeration while modeling the macroscopic kinetics of the process. A microscale approach, constant volume Monte‐Carlo simulation, is used to analyze the effects of micro‐processes on the aggregation behavior and identify the influencing parameters. The identified variables, namely the number of wet particles, the total number of particles, and the number of droplets are modeled and combined in the form of an aggregation kernel. The proposed kernel is then used in a one‐dimensional population balance equation for predicting the particle number density distribution. The only fitting parameters remaining in the population balance system are the collision frequency per particle and a success fraction accounting for the dissipation of kinetic energy. Predictions of the population balance model are compared with the results of Monte‐Carlo simulations for a variation of significant operating parameters and found to be in good agreement. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 60: 855–868, 2014 相似文献

The concept of physical crosslinking was introduced into the research field of oil‐absorption resins, which were traditionally synthesized only by chemical crosslinking. Specifically, the partially physical crosslinking acrylic series for high‐oil‐absorption resins were prepared in the suspension process, and the swelling behavior of the samples was observed and recorded online. This demonstrated that a kind of relaxing three‐dimensional network was indeed formed by the introduction of polybutadiene (PB). The effects of monomer feed ratios, crosslinking agent concentration and type, particle size, and temperature on the oil absorbency and oil‐absorption speed were investigated. The results indicated that there were an optimum monomer feed ratio and an optimum amount of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate or PB. In addition, the particle size and temperature had a serious influence on the oil‐absorption speed in comparison with the monomer feed ratio and the crosslinking agent concentration and type. The results also showed that particle size affected oil absorbency to a great degree and that the effect of temperature on oil absorbency was complex. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A combined numerical/experimental approach is used to study the effects of the particle/matrix interphase on the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and Young's modulus of SiO2/epoxy nanocomposites having nanoparticle reinforcements of different sizes. Our experiments showed that the composite CTE decreases and composite Young's modulus increases with decreasing nanoparticle diameter at the same volume fraction, but our finite element (FE) model predictions did not match the expected trends when the interphase was not accounted for. The new models include an interphase region around the nanoparticle which results in an “effective particle volume fraction” that is larger than the actual particle volume fraction. The results from the models are compared with the experimental results and the new models are accurately fitted to the experimental results using the interphase thickness as a curve‐fitting parameter. We believe that this is the first published report on the use of combined numerical/experimental investigations of both elastic stiffness and thermal expansion characteristics to demonstrate the existence of a particle size‐dependent “effective particle volume fraction” due to the particle/matrix interphase region in a nanoparticle‐reinforced composite.

Coating of particles larger than about 1 mm can be achieved in a spouted bed, a particle mobilization device in which a strong particle circulation occurs, rapidly upwards in a lean central “spout” region and downwards in a slowly moving annular settled bed. In a spouted bed coater, a spray nozzle is placed at the base of the spout, spraying upwards into a distinct coating zone. The coating formation in a spouted bed is inter alia a function of (i) the particle motion, that is, how often and where particles enter and traverse the coating zone and (ii) the extent of droplet collection by individual particles passing through the coating zone. The coating model proposed here is based on the statistical history of individual particles, whose projected area governs the collection of spray droplets in the coating zone. Positron emission particle tracking (PEPT) has been used to determine the particle trajectories, the distribution of cycle times and the size and voidage of the spout. Whilst the model is not capable of delivering absolute values of coating mass a priori, it can predict deviations from a mean, which can itself be determined from an overall mass balance. To validate the model, a spouted bed coating process was studied in which coarse PVC spheres were coated with the hot‐melt coating material polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1500. Coating mass distributions, derived from the weight data of individual particles before and after manual coating removal, compared (for the studied conditions) very well with the predictions of the model. 相似文献

The immobilization and consolidation of model coatings based on monodisperse polystyrene (plastic pigment) and S/B latexes of known particle sizes were studied in terms of their packing volumes and the extent of latex shrinkage, which was found to increase with increasing pigment volume up to the critical pigment volume concentration (CPVC). The maximum latex shrinkage was estimated from the CPVC. Then, the porosity of model coatings was calculated based on three proposed latex shrinkage models: maximum, minimum, and linearly decreasing latex shrinkage. The number of pores and the average equivalent spherical pore diameters were subsequently calculated. The opacity and gloss of model coatings on polyester films were measured and their porosity was also determined by a simple coat weight-thickness method. The CPVC values determined by the opacity, gloss, and porosity versus PVC relationships, respectively, agreed very well with each other. The CPVCs determined by the opacity and porosity versus PVC curves were identical. The comparison between the theoretically calculated and experimental porosity values showed that the linearly decreasing value between the maximum and minimum latex shrinkage would best fit the experimental porosity data. The effect of plastic pigment particle size on the optical properties and porosity of model coatings was also studied and it was observed that the coating opacity and porosity increased with increasing plastic pigment particle size, but the gloss decreased. Additionally, a minimum crack-free temperature (MCFT) of latex-bound coatings was proposed to better predict the behaviors of latexes as pigment binders. The wet state of model coating dispersions, the surfaces of consolidated model coatings, and their internal structure were examined by both electron and atomic force microscopy, and their micrographs were found to be consistent with our immobilization and consolidation models. 相似文献

A two‐dimensional model of methane thermal decomposition reactors is developed which accounts for coupled radiative heat and polydisperse carbon particle nucleation, growth, and transport. The model uses the Navier–Stokes equations for the fluid dynamics, the radiative transfer equation for methane and particle species radiation absorption, the advection–diffusion equation for gas and particle species transport, and a sectional method for particle species nucleation, heterogenous growth, and coagulation. The model is applied to a tubular laminar flow reactor. The simulation results indicate the development of a reaction boundary layer inside the reactor, which results in significant variation of the local particle size distribution across the reactor. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 58: 2545–2556, 2012 相似文献
