A technique based on a one-dimensional constant area flow model has been developed for solving a large class of supersonic ejector optimization problems. In particular, the method determines the primary nozzle Mach number and ejector area ratio which optimizes either the entrainment ratio, compression ratio, or stagnation pressure ratio given values for the other two variables and the primary and secondary gas properties and stagnation temperatures. Design curves for the common case of diatomic primary and secondary gases of equal molecular weight and stagnation temperature are also presented and discussed.

A new 1D model is proposed to predict ejector performance at critical and sub-critical operational modes, while most previous 1D models have predicted ejector performance only at critical mode. Constant pressure mixing is assumed to occur inside the constant area section of the ejector at both operational modes. Experimental data from different ejector geometries and various operation conditions reported earlier are used to verify the effectiveness of the new model. The model has a good performance in predicting the mass flow rates and the entrainment ratio, a useful tool for predicting ejector performance within larger refrigeration cycle models.

AbstractThe forward variable area bypass injector (FVABI) is a key component of double bypass variable cycle engine (VCE) to achieve mode transition and bypass ratio adjustment. In this paper, an experimental system for FVABI was constructed based on the analysis of relevant experimental theories, and then the experiments on FVABI were carried out for a specific working state in double bypass mode of VCE and for the comparison working states with different area ratios and different back pressure ratios. The results showed that the FVABI designed in this paper meets the requirements of VCE at this working state. The analysis of the influence of area ratio and back pressure ratio on the injection coefficient showed that the first bypass valve and back pressure were effective means to control the mass flow of FVABI.

The One

The two-stage ejector has been suggested to replace the single-stage ejector geometrical configuration better to utilize the discharge flow’s redundant momentum to induce secondary flow. In this study, the one-dimensional gas dynamic constant rate of momentum change theory has been utilized to model a two-stage ejector along with a single-stage ejector. The proposed theory has been utilized in the computation of geometry and flow parameters of both the ejectors. The commercial computational fluid dynamics tool ANSYS-Fluent 14.0 has been utilized to predict performance and visualize the flow. The performance in terms of entrainment ratio has been compared under on- design and off-design conditions. The result shows that the two-stage ejector configuration has improved (≈57%) entrainment capacity than the single-stage ejector under the on-design condition.

Peak Value

In order to decrease the fiber diameter and reduce the energy consumption in the melt-blowing process, a new slot die with internal stabilizers was designed. Using computational fluid dynamics technology, the new slot die was investigated. In the numerical simulation, the calculation data were validated with the laboratory measurement data. This work shows that the new slot die could increase the average velocity on the centerline of the air-flow field by 6.9%, compared with the common slot die. Simultaneously, the new slot die could decrease the back-flow velocity and the rate of temperature decay in the region close to the die head. The new slot die could reduce the peak value of the turbulent kinetic energy and make the fiber movements more gradual. With the one-dimensional drawing model, it proves that the new slot die has more edge on the decrease of fiber diameter than the common slot die.

Inlet Conditions

The equations of the steady, adiabatic, one-dimensional flow of an equilibrium mixture of a perfect gas and incompressible particles, in constant-area ducts with friction, are derived taking into account the effects of gravity and of the finite volume of the particles. As is the case for a pure gas, the mixture is shown to be subject to the phenomenon of choking, and the possibility of an adiabatic heating of the mixture in a subsonic expansion is also theoretically predicted for certain flow inlet conditions. The model may be used to approximately describe the conditions existing in portions of volcanic conduits during the Plinian phases of explosive eruptions. Some results of the numerical integration of the equations for a typical application of this type are briefly discussed, thus showing the potential of the model for carrying out rapid analyses of the influence of the main geometrical and flow parameters describing the problem. A non-volcanological application is also analysed to illustrate the possibility of the adiabatic heating of the mixture.

The Impact

Small unmanned aircraft are currently limited to flight ceilings below 20,000 ft due to the lack of an appropriate propulsion system. One of the most critical technological hurdles for an increased flight ceiling of small platforms is the impact of reduced Reynolds number conditions at altitude on the performance of small radial turbomachinery. The current article investigates the influence of Reynolds number on the efficiency and pressure ratio of two small centrifugal compressor impellers using a one-dimensional meanline performance analysis code. The results show that the efficiency and pressure ratio of the 60 mm baseline compressor at the design rotational speed drops with 6–9% from sea-level to 70,000 ft. The impact on the smaller 20 mm compressor is slightly more pronounced and amounts to 6–10%. Off-design changes at low rotational speeds are significantly higher and can amount to up to 15%. Whereas existing correlations show a good match for the efficiency drop at the design rotational speed, they fail to predict efficiency changes with rotational speed. A modified version is therefore proposed.

Average Flow Model

The average flow model presented by Patir and Cheng [1] is evaluated. First, it is shown that the choice of grid used in the average flow model influences the results. The results presented are different from those given by Patir and Cheng. Second, it is shown that the introduction of two-dimensional flow greatly reduces the effect of roughness on flow. Results based on one-dimensional flow cannot be relied upon for two-dimensional problems. Finally, some average flow factors are given for truncated rough surfaces. These can be applied to partially worn surfaces. The most important conclusion reached is that an even closer examination of the average flow concept is needed before the results can be applied with confidence to lubrication problems.
