Rolling and Lifting Probabilities for Sediment Entrainment

This study addresses the rolling and lifting probabilities for sediment entrainment by incorporating the probabilistic features of the turbulent fluctuation and bed grain geometry. The lognormally distributed instantaneous velocity and uniformly distributed initial grain position, along with a relation between lift coefficient and particle Reynolds number, are used to extend the theoretical formulation of the entrainment probabilities in smooth-bed flows. The two threshold conditions identified herein enable us to precisely define the probabilities of entrainment in the rolling and lifting modes. The results obtained in this study coincide well with the published data. The lifting probability increases monotonously with the dimensionless shear stress θ, which is consistent with the earlier results yet displays improved agreement with the experimental data. The maximum value of rolling probability, with a magnitude of 0.25, occurs at θ ≈ 0.15. For θ<0.05 (or θ>0.6), the rolling (or lifting) probability makes up more than 90% of the total entrainment probability and thus can be used as an approximation to the total probability of entrainment. The proposed rolling and lifting probabilities are further linked to the two separate criteria for incipient motion to explore the critical entrainment probabilities. The results reveal that a consistent probability corresponding to the critical state of sediment entrainment cannot be found.

Effects of entrainment and agglomeration of particles on combustion of nano-aluminum and water mixtures

The combustion of nano-aluminum and water mixtures is studied theoretically for a particle size of 80 nm and over a pressure range of 1–10 MPa. Emphasis is placed on the effects of entrainment and agglomeration of particles on the burning rate and its dependence on pressure. The flame thickness increases by a factor of ∼10, when particle entrainment is considered. This lowers the conductive heat flux at the ignition front, thereby reducing the burning rate. The pressure dependence of the burning rate is attributed to the changes in the burning time and velocity of particles with pressure. In the diffusion limit, the pressure exponent increases from 0 to 0.5, when the entrainment index increases from 0 to 1.0. A similar trend is observed in the kinetics-controlled regime, although the corresponding value exceeds the diffusion counterpart by 0.5. The kinetics-controlled model significantly over-predicts the burning rate and its pressure exponent, depending on the entrainment index. The present analysis suggests that nano-particles formed closely-packed agglomerates of diameter 3–5 μm, which may burn under diffusion-controlled conditions at high pressures.     

Effect of ultrasound on the true flotation of lignite and its entrainment behavior

In this study, the ultrasound was fixed in the pulp zone of flotation cell and its effect on the true flotation of lignite was analyzed. Flotation results indicated that the simultaneous ultrasound treatment increased the concentrate yield and decreased the concentrate ash content. Screening analysis of flotation products revealed that the ultrasound could crush coarse coal to fine coal and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests indicated that the ultrasound could reduce the coverage of high-ash coal fines on the coarse particle surface. Thus, the flotation recovery of coarse lignite particle was increased. In addition, the true flotation and entrainment of ?0.074 mm fine particles were studied by the sink-float test and the method of Trahar. It was found the ultrasound significantly enhanced the true flotation of fine particles and improved the overall water recovery in lignite flotation.     

Fundamental particle fluidization behavior and handling of nano-particles in a rotating fluidized bed

The fluidization behavior of the three kinds of nano-particles (TiO₂, SiO₂, Al₂O₃) was analyzed in a rotating fluidized bed (RFB). Bed pressure drop, minimum fluidization velocity, bed expansion, entrainment and particle mixing characteristics under various centrifugal accelerations were experimentally investigated. The effects of centrifugal acceleration on agglomerate size and density were analyzed based on a Richardson-Zaki approach coupled with a fractal model.The bed pressure drop behavior showed almost similar to that of A or B-particles of Geldart's classification. Dimensionless particle bed height became smaller when the centrifugal acceleration was larger. Size of agglomerate decreased and its density increased with an increase in centrifugal acceleration. The agglomerate size in the RFB showed smaller than that in other types of fluidized bed system such as vibration and magnetic field as well as in a conventional fluidized bed, and the agglomerate density became larger. Particle entrainment became smaller in the case of the higher centrifugal acceleration. These results confirmed that the RFB can reduce the size of a nano-particle agglomerate and fluidize nano-particles at high gas velocity without any significant entrainment. The RFB is thus expected as more effective gas-solid fluidization system for handling of a large amount of nano-particles than other types of fluidized bed.

Flow-Induced Failure of Cable-Tied Blocks

An experimental study of flow-induced failure of cable-tied blocks is presented. The particular failure mechanism studied is overturning and rolling up of the leading edge of a cable-tied block mat. Individual blocks were investigated also. The block size, flow depth, and block (mat) protrusion above the surrounding bed were systematically varied. The results are presented in terms of the critical dimensionless shear stress θc for block (mat) failure. A relationship between θc, block size and block protrusion, and flow depth is given.
