Scalar mixing in turbulent concentric round jets

The scalar mixing field of a free, turbulent concentric round jet has been examined using marker nephelometry. The flow conditions included velocity ratios between the centre and annular jet of 0.188, 0.519 and 0.911. The correlation function between the concentration fluctuations in the two jet streams increased from –1.0 near the nozzle to + 1.0 further downstream indicating a tendency to complete mixing between the jets. The initial mixing behaviour between the jets was better for the lower velocity ratio between the jets (U_i/U_o = 0.188) although further downstream there was better transverse mixing between the jets with the higher velocity ratio (U_i/U_o = 0.911).

采用粒子图像测速技术对入射管直径为3 mm、混合腔直径为16 mm的T型撞击流混合器内的流动特性进行了研究,考察了不同流速比和撞击轴线上方空间条件下混合腔内的速度和湍流动能分布. 结果表明,在相同入射管直径和流速下,撞击驻点位于混合腔中心处,无因次化的速度和湍流动能分布趋势基本一致. 高湍流动能区主要集中在撞击点附近区域,其无因次化数值是传统Rushton涡轮搅拌槽叶端处的3倍. 流速比对撞击驻点位置影响显著;减小撞击轴线上方空间可增加高湍流动能分布区域,利于物料混合.     

Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Confined Noncircular Turbulent Impinging Jets

A three dimensional computational fluid dynamic investigation is carried out to predict the turbulent flow and surface heat transfer under an impinging air jet issuing normally from a single noncircular orifice in a plate held parallel to the target surface. Static pressure distributions, velocity fields and local as well as average Nusselt number on the impinged surface are presented for square, elliptic, and rectangular orifices and compared with those for a circular orifice. Effects of jet Reynolds number as well as spacing between the nozzle plate and the impinged surface are examined using a two-layer κ-η turbulence model. Results show flow structure similarities between the characteristics of rectangular and elliptic jets of equal aspect ratio. Further, it is observed that noncircular impinging jets can provide higher average heat transfer rates than corresponding circular jets for certain geometric parameters viz. nozzle-to-plate spacing and the size of the averaging area used to compute the average Nusselt number.     

PIV experiment and large eddy simulation of turbulence characteristics in a confined impinging jet reactor

Confined impinging jet reactor(CIJR) is a typical process intensification device used in the chemical industry.In this study, two dimensional Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) and Large Eddy Simulation(LES) method were used to investigate the flow field in a CIJR with jets of diameter 3 mm under highly turbulent condition.The results showed LES can predict the velocity and Turbulence Kinetic Energy(TKE) distributions in the reactor well by comparing with the PIV results.In the CIJR, the stagnation point fluctuates with the turbulence, and its instantaneous position accords with the normal distribution.Three methods, including s–t representation, Lumley–Newman triangle and A–G representation, were used to compare the turbulence anisotropy in the mixing chamber.It was found that the anisotropy in the impinging area and at the edge of impinging jet was strong and the maximum deviation was up to 40%.The results from 2 DPIV would lead to an overestimation of the turbulent kinetic energy as much as 20% to 30% than the results from the three dimensional numerical simulation.     

Sedimentation from surface currents generated by particle-laden jets

In this paper, we develop a theoretical model for the dynamics and deposition patterns from surface currents generated by axisymmetric particle-laden jets. Our model incorporates the interaction between the particles in the environment and the continuing jet. We show that this interaction plays a central role in the evolution of the behaviour of the jet and on the sedimentation patterns on the surrounding floor. We consider surface currents generated by the impingement of the turbulent jet on both a free surface and on a solid surface. Our theoretical predictions are successfully compared with data from laboratory experiments. For the case of a jet impinging on a free surface, we also examine the evolution of the concentration of particles in the environment and in the surface current until steady state is attained. Finally, we propose a simple analytical expression for the sedimentation rate on the floor in the case of a dilute jet.     

平面气固撞击流周期振荡的模拟分析

由于喷嘴截面的高宽比远小于1,平面狭缝喷嘴撞击流可看作二维撞击流。采用欧拉双流体模型对二维气固撞击流进行数值模拟。模拟结果表明,当固相负载率m≤8.2,颗粒粒径为60 μm≤d_p≤175 μm时,大间距的平面气固撞击流也出现了周期振荡。通过分析射流轴线上不同位置的压力和速度的瞬时值和平均值,认为周期振荡是由于撞击面上压力释放和持续射流的共同作用导致。讨论了不同条件对振荡周期的影响:振荡周期随喷嘴间距或颗粒粒径的增加而增加;而随射流Reynolds数的增加或者固相负载率的增加而减小。     

Velocity and temperature profiles in compressible turbulent wall jets

The results of an experimental study on compressible turbulent wall jets resulting from a normally impinging round jet are presented. A finite difference technique was used for the calculation of velocity and temperature profiles. The eddy transfer coefficients used were functions of the distance from the plate throughout the flow field of the wall jet. The nozzle exit Mach number ranged up to 0.85. The nozzle exit temperature to the ambient temperature ratio ranged up to 2.92. The applicability of the calculational method has been thoroughly checked for a region of flow extending up to 12 nozzle diameters from the axis of symmetry. Using the empirical eddy transfer coefficients presented in this paper only starting profiles are needed to generate the solution for any point in the wall jet flow field which is described by a system of parabolic (boundary layer) equations.     

基于制备超细复合含能材料的对置受限式撞击流反应器微观混合性能

由于对置受限式撞击流反应器较高的传热及混合效率,能够制备出粒径小、均匀且分布范围窄的超细颗粒。本文采用碘化物-碘酸盐平行竞争反应体系研究入射速度、结构尺寸对对置受限式撞击流反应器微观混合效果的影响规律,并将混合腔尺寸同等比例放大一倍进行对比研究。结果表明,随着入射速度的增大,离集指数减小,微观混合效果提高。喷嘴间距与喷嘴直径比的增大使得离集指数增大,微观混合效果降低。离集指数随着混合腔高度、混合腔出口尺寸的增大呈现先增大后减小的趋势,且混合腔高度对混合效果的影响较混合腔出口尺寸显著。将对置受限式撞击流反应器混合腔尺寸扩大一倍,离集指数增加到原来的2.4倍,微观混合效果显著下降,但是在较大入射速度下,两种结构的混合效果差距减小。研究结果可为纳米复合含能材料的制备提供高效、安全的技术支持。

Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Confined Noncircular Turbulent Impinging Jets

Abstract

A three dimensional computational fluid dynamic investigation is carried out to predict the turbulent flow and surface heat transfer under an impinging air jet issuing normally from a single noncircular orifice in a plate held parallel to the target surface. Static pressure distributions, velocity fields and local as well as average Nusselt number on the impinged surface are presented for square, elliptic, and rectangular orifices and compared with those for a circular orifice. Effects of jet Reynolds number as well as spacing between the nozzle plate and the impinged surface are examined using a two-layer κ–η turbulence model. Results show flow structure similarities between the characteristics of rectangular and elliptic jets of equal aspect ratio. Further, it is observed that noncircular impinging jets can provide higher average heat transfer rates than corresponding circular jets for certain geometric parameters viz. nozzle-to-plate spacing and the size of the averaging area used to compute the average Nusselt number.     

EFFECT OF NEAR-WALL MODELLING ON PREDICTION OF IMPINGEMENT HEAT TRANSFER

Due to enhanced transport characteristics, impinging jets are widely used in industry to dry large surface area products such as paper and textiles. The present numerical study concerns the modelling of convective heat transfer for impingement drying. Flow and heat transfer under a confined two dimensional turbulent air jet impinging on a flat surface were modelled by solution of two-dimensional Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The turbulence model used was the high-Re number version of the well known two-equation (κ-?) model and numerical solution was by the upwind finite difference scheme. The specific objective was to evaluate the accuracy of schemes for modelling the near-wall turbulent flow.

The mean flow properties such as centerline velocity decay and the pressure distribution at the impingement surface show no dependence on the near-wall model used. Heat transfer predictions were found to be quite sensitive to the choice of near-wall model. Best agreement between predictions and experiments was obtained for a Chieng-Launder type model with a new modification, use of k_p instead of k_v in the calculation of τ_w.

Velocity and concentration field measurements in a turbulent, impinging flammable jet

The impingement of a jet on a flat surface is a flow configuration of interest in many engineering applications. Of particular interest in this study, it is a generic flow encountered in assessments of the consequences of releases of flammable material on process plant. Experimental data, obtained using laser Doppler anemometry, are presented for the turbulent velocity field in the radial wall jet formed by a high momentum release of methane impinging normally on a flat surface. Mean and fluctuating concentration data obtained using laser Raman spectroscopy are also described, and compared with mean data gathered using aspirated hot film probes. Velocity results are generally in good agreement with data on impinging air jets obtained using particle image velocimetry techniques, although significant differences do occur with earlier hot-wire anemometer measurements. Measured concentrations are in similar agreement with earlier data on impinging air jets obtained using a Mie scattering technique, although differences again occur between mean concentrations obtained using both laser-based techniques and aspirating probes. The provision of a single data set that contains information on both the velocity and conserved scalar fields is of value for improving understanding and in permitting the formulation and validation of RANS models of impinging flows.     

Investigation of extraction fraction in confined impinging jet reactors for tri-butyl-phosphate extracting butyric acid process☆

The extraction fraction E and overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient kLa of TBP extracting butyric acid pro-cess in confined impinging jet reactors (CIJR) with two jets were investigated. The main variables tested were the concentration of tri-butyl-phosphate (TBP) and butyric acid, the impinging velocity V, the impinging velocity ratio of two phases Vorg/Vaq, the nozzle inner diameter di and the distance L between the jet axes and the top wall of the impinging chamber. The results showed that E and kLa increase with an increase of the impinging ve-locity V, the concentration of TBP Corg, and the impinging velocity ratio Vorg/Vaq. However, E and kLa decrease with an increase of the inner diameter di from 1 to 2 mm, the concentration of butyric acid Caq from 0.5%(v/v) to 2%(v/v). The factor L ranging from 3 to 11 mm has a negligible effect on E and kLa. A correlation on these variables and kLa was proposed based on the experimental data. These results indicated good mass transfer performance of CIJR in the extraction operation.     

Electrodiffusion diagnostics of wall shear stresses in impinging jets

The electrodiffusion method of flow diagnostics was applied to the measurement of the wall shear stresses and turbulent characteristics in the vicinity of the stagnation point in impinging jets. The wall shear stress vector was determined by a double electrochemical probe consisting of two electrodes separated by a thin insulation gap. The impingement of an axisymmetric jet on a flat plate at normal incidence and the reattachment of the plane jet to an adjacent solid surface due to the Coanda effect were studied. The influence of injection and suction on the two-dimensional jet reattachment is described. This paper was presented at the International Workshop on Electrodiffusion Diagnostics of Flows held in Dourdan, France, May 1993.     

三股对撞式撞击流反应器的流动特性

采用高速数码相机对喷嘴直径1 mm的开放式三股对撞式撞击流反应器内的流场特性进行研究,考察了入口雷诺数Reinj、对置两管喷嘴间距d1、垂直管喷嘴到对置两管的垂直距离d2对流场特性的影响. 结果表明,在物料流量比为2时,Reinj对流体结构的影响较显著. 随Reinj增加,流体结构由链状向类似伞状变化,最终破碎成液滴,无规则向四周分散,雾化程度显著增加,撞击面边缘剧烈扰动,提供了较好的混合效果. 较小的d1使撞击区域接近对置两管喷嘴处,可能导致喷嘴堵塞而影响混合效果. 增大d2及Reinj=1699时,重力影响使流体结构由链状轻微向面积较小的伞状结构变化. 采用碘化物-碘酸盐平行竞争反应体系,物料流量比为8时,与传统撞击流反应器相比,三股对撞式撞击流反应器的离集指数约为其1/2,显示出优越的微观混合性能.     

大间距两不对称喷嘴对置撞击流驻点偏移规律

Numerical Study on the Effect of Cross-Flow on Turbulent Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics Under Normal and Oblique Semi-confined Impinging Slot Jets

Impinging jets are commonly used in industrial dryers and electronics chip cooling. Since in industrial practice it is necessary to use multiple jets, the interaction between jets can have important effect on their heat transfer performance. Hence, the study of cross-flow caused by the spent flow of upstream jets is obviously significant. In this study, a computational fluid dynamics simulation was carried out of the flow and heat transfer characteristics for a single semi-confined turbulent slot jet of air impinging normally or obliquely into an imposed air cross-flow of the same or different temperature. The standard k-ε and the Reynolds stress models were used. Effects of the various flow parameter (e.g., jet-to-cross-flow mass ratio) and geometric parameters (e.g., nozzle-to-target spacing and jet angle) were evaluated at a fixed Reynolds number (11,000 and 12,000) for equal and unequal temperatures of the jet and cross-flow. Results indicate the significant degradation of the impingement heat transfer rates due to cross-flow and a relatively minor influence of the temperature difference between the jet and cross-flow over the ranges of parameters studied. Both the turbulence models produced comparable Nusselt number distributions along the impingement surface.     

An elastic analog model for controlling the impingement point position in confined impinging jets

Confined impinging jets (CIJs) are highly efficient mixers. The scales of mixing in CIJs are controlled by the opposed jets interaction. A mechanistic model is described here, which accurately predicts the impinging position of the opposed jets for a large range of flow rate ratios. The impinging point position is shown to impact the dynamic properties of the flow and the achieved mixing quality. The opposed jets kinetic energy ratio is shown to have a critical impact on mixing, similar to the Reynolds number. A mixing chamber design relation is proposed and verified for the opposed injectors diameters ratio, , which enables to operate CIJs under optimum mixing conditions for large ranges of flow rate ratios, viscosity and density ratios between the opposed streams. Optimum values have asymptotes for large and small Reynolds number depending on the process stoichiometry, viscosity, and density ratios of the opposed jet streams. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 62: 2200–2212, 2016     

Liquid—liquid mass transfer in systems agitated by submerged jets

Mass transfer across a plane interface has been investigated for liquid—liquid systems, with the liquid phases agitated by vertically opposed, submerged jets, one in each phase. Mass transfer coefficients were determined for the systems ethyl acetate—water and butanol—water, and for the transfer of dissolved helium between water and toluene, and toluene between toluene and water. The latter two solutes provided a wide range of molecular diffusion coefficients. When turbulent eddies penetrated to the interface the mass transfer coefficients were found to be proportional to D^0.5, and could be represented by the Levich-Davies mass transfer model for mass transfer between turbulent liquids. The characteristic turbulence velocities in this model were related to the velocities of the liquids from the jet nozzles, and to the equipment dimensions (e.g. the distances of the jets from the interface, the radius of the vessel and the diameters of the jet nozzles) by an expression based on the hydrodynamic behaviour of jets.For the low interfacial tension system butanol—water, a flat disc had to be placed in the interface at the region of jet impingement, to prevent disruption of the interface, but, even so, only a limited range of jet flow rates could be used. Only at the highest flow rates were turbulent conditions obtained, and most of the experimental mass transfer coefficients for this system were between the values predicted by the Levich-Davies model and the Levich “three-zone” model for boundary layer flow.
