Loss coefficients of ice slurry in sudden pipe contractionsIn this paper, flow systems which are commonly used in fittings elements such as contractions in ice slurry pipelines, are experimentally investigated. In the study reported in this paper, the consideration was given to the specific features of the ice slurry flow in which the flow behaviour depends mainly on the volume fraction of solid particles. The results of the experimental studies on the flow resistance, presented herein, enabled to determine the loss coefficient during the ice slurry flow through the sudden pipe contraction. The mass fraction of solid particles in the slurry ranged from 5 to 30%. The experimental studies were conducted on a few variants of the most common contractions of copper pipes: 28/22 mm, 28/18 mm, 28/15 mm, 22/18 mm, 22/15 mm and 18/15 mm. The recommended (with respect to minimal flow resistance) range of the Reynolds number (Re about 3000-4000) for the ice slurry flow through sudden contractions was presented in this paper.

Abstract The paper presents the results of experimental research of pressure drop and heat transfer coefficients of ice slurry during its flow through tubes of rectangular and slit cross-sections. Moreover, the work discusses the influence of solid particles, type of motion and cross-section on the changes in the pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient. The analysis presented in the paper allows for identification of the criterial relations used to calculate the Fanning factor and the Nusselt number for laminar and turbulent flow, taking into account elements such as phase change, which accompanies the heat transfer process. Ice slurry flow is treated as a generalized flow of a non-Newtonian fluid.

There are many advantages of semi-solid processing technology such as energy saving, high efficiency and net-shaped processing. So it is a promising manufacturing technology in 21 century .It is the premise of getting the non-dendrite semisolid slurry to realize the semisolid processing.This paper reviewed the development of the technique of preparation for semi-solid state slurry and introduced some new researchment about the technique of preparation slurry for semi-solid processing. It researched a new technique of preparation for semi-solid state slurry—cooling by the sine function to produced the semi-solid state slurry. The result showed that the aluminum alloy melt was cooled and controlled nucleation and limited growth in the sine wave The fundamental principles through which sound semi-solid slurry can be effectively obtained were summarized.On the basis of the experiment and simulation,it analysised the temperature field and the flow field of the semisolid 2A12 slurry flow through sine passage. The result showed that there is the cooling and the self-stirring when the semisolid 2A12 slurry flow through sine passage. The fundamental principles through which sound semi-solid slurry can be effectively obtained were summarized. Finally, we presented a patent this simple process .
