This paper deals with the removal of moisture from the contaminated transformer oil. Design of a rectangular separator and the results of water-oil emulsion separation are shown in this paper. The influence of different values of the separator height and the distance between the rows of elements on the emulsion separation efficiency was studied. In order to calculate the process of removing the moisture from transformer insulating oil, the multiphase Eulerian-Eulerian model “Volume of Fluid” with the number of phases equal to 2 was applied in ANSYS Fluent software package. K–ε turbulence model was used for the calculations. The results were obtained while solving the nonstationary issue. In the course of numerical simulation, the object of study was the transformer oil T-1500U, containing some water amount. The results of numerical simulation of water-oil emulsion separation in a rectangular separator are shown. In the course of numerical studies, it was found that the use of a rectangular separator in order to remove the moisture from transformer oil allows it to be purified from water by 99.99%, providing that the geometrical dimensions of device are chosen correctly. The use of developed rectangular separator can be an alternative to the use of decanting tanks, various separators and other purification devices, which have extremely low rate of purification of contaminated spent oils. This separator allows purifying the transformer oil from water with a speed of 1-2 m/s while the efficiency is equal to 99.99%.

Object Of Study

The growing demand for energy efficiency gains in vehicles has led to several advances in more technological and efficient driving units, projects using lighter and more resistant materials and, in particular, a deeper study of aerodynamic studies in order to understand the fluid flow around the object of study. This work presents an aerodynamic study for a vehicle of high-energy efficiency, through computational fluid dynamics simulation in Ansys Fluent software. The main objective is to obtain the traction and drag force vectors acting on the vehicle at different speeds and to better understand the airflow before, during and after contact with the vehicle. With the possession of results, it was facilitated the implementation of improvements that enabled the vehicle to operate even more efficiently.

The article deals with the problem of increasing the efficiency of dedusting the gas flow from the finely dispersed particles smaller than 10 μm. In order to solve this problem, a design of centrifugal separator with coaxially arranged pipes is proposed. The described principle of operation includes the large values of centrifugal forces, which take place inside the device when the flow is swirled, and these forces throw the finely dispersed particles to the walls of device. This scientific paper shows a numerical simulation of gas flow dedusting process by means of ANSYS Fluent software package. The efficiency of dedusting the gas from the finely dispersed particles of up to 10 μm in the device is on average within the range of 53.8–76.7%. The exponential function, describing the changes in the pressure loss from the input gas rate, is obtained. In the course of studies, it was found that the pressure loss in the device is not more than 800 Pa at the input gas rate from 3 to 19 m/s.

The influence of inlet structure which is the tangent and Spiral on water-coal separation in a Hydrocyclone is simulated by CFD in this paper. Mixture model in fluent and the RNG K turbulent model are adopted using numerical simulation by FLUENT software. The pressure gradient term is calculated by STANDARD discrete numerical method, and a second order upwind scheme is applied as discrete form for the rest of terms; the SIMPLE algorithm is adopted to deal with the pressure-velocity coupling. The fluent of the two inlet structure on the inner fluid of the hydrocyclone is obtained. It can be concluded that in actual applications, separation efficiency of the hydrocyclone with spiral inlet the entrance is higher, separation effect is better. The numerical simulation can provide a foundation for structural optimization design of hydrocyclone.

Abstract The article focuses on the analysis of the possibilities to model motion and dispersion of plumes of different density gas pollutants in lowspeed wind tunnels based on the application of physical similarity criteria, in this case the Froude number. The analysis of the physical nature of the modeled process by the Froude number is focused on the influence of air flow velocity, gas pollutant density and model scale. This gives an idea of limitations for this type of physical experiments in relation to the modeled real phenomena. The resulting statements and logical links are exemplified by a CFD numerical simulation of a given task calculated in ANSYS Fluent software.
