Based on the linear stability analysis, a mathematical model for the stability of a viscous liquid jet in a coaxial twisting compressible airflow has been developed. It takes into account the twist and compressibility of the surrounding airflow, the viscosity of the liquid jet, and the cavitation bubbles within the liquid jet. Then, the effects of aerodynamics caused by the gas–liquid velocity difference on the jet stability are analyzed. The results show that under the airflow ejecting effect, the jet instability decreases first and then increases with the increase of the airflow axial velocity. When the gas–liquid velocity ratio A = 1, the jet is the most stable. When the gas–liquid velocity ratio A > 2, this is meaningful for the jet breakup compared with A = 0 (no air axial velocity). When the surrounding airflow swirls, the airflow rotation strength E will change the jet dominant mode. E has a stabilizing effect on the liquid jet under the axisymmetric mode, while E is conducive to jet instability under the asymmetry mode. The maximum disturbance growth rate of the liquid jet also decreases first and then increases with the increase of E. The liquid jet is the most stable when E = 0.65, and the jet starts to become more easier to breakup when E = 0.8425 compared with E = 0 (no swirling air). When the surrounding airflow twists (air moves in both axial and circumferential directions), given the axial velocity to change the circumferential velocity of the surrounding airflow, it is not conducive to the jet breakup, regardless of the axisymmetric disturbance or asymmetry disturbance.

Linear Instability Analysis

A three-dimensional linear instability analysis was carried out for an annular swirling viscous liquid jet with solid vortex swirl velocity profile. An analytical form of dispersion relation was derived and then solved by a direct numerical procedure. A parametric study was performed to explore the instability mechanisms that affect the maximum spatial growth rate. It is observed that the liquid swirl enhances the breakup of liquid sheet. The surface tension stabilizes the jet in the low velocity regime. The aerodynamic force intensifies the developing of disturbance and makes the jet unstable. Liquid viscous force holds back the growing of disturbance and the makes the jet stable, especially in high liquid velocity regime.

Summary Production shutdowns occur often throughout the life cycle of an oil field. In offshore fields, shutdown situations are accompanied by an intense heat exchange between pipeline and cold water, which exponentially increases oil viscosity. Such an event may lead to serious difficulty to restart the production, or even render it unfeasible, especially for heavy oil fields. Therefore, a preventive procedure is required to remove the ultraviscous oil from pipelines and risers; for example, by pumping diesel or methanol in a flush procedure. Designing an efficient cleanup procedure is therefore essential in terms of time, amount of fluid injected, and pumping system requirements. However, the amount of research published in this area is limited. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive analysis on how the displacement of a viscous liquid by a less-viscous liquid occurs in a pipeline through footages in different segments, varying the injection velocity. Two mineral oils with different viscosities and tap water were used as working fluids for this study. The experimental setup was built with a horizontal 10-m-long acrylic pipe with 19-mm internal diameter. Two high-speed cameras were placed both in the inlet and outlet segments. Our results demonstrate how water displaces viscous oil in a pipeline, showing different flow configurations as superficial water velocity increases, depending on the oil viscosity and distance from the inlet. A dimensionless analysis was performed by a combination of the forces that govern the flow and dimensionless groups found in literature. The results show an expected area of optimum values regarding cleaning time according to flow configuration. A unidimensional model using a logistic function was proposed and showed a good agreement with the experimental data. The model itself proven to be an easy tool for industry and academic purposes, supporting even more robust and elaborated models in the future.

Different blend ratio of ternary component fuel was tested inside a constant volume chamber to investigate fuel injection and combustion under similar real engine working conditions. Because liquid spray light scattering is the different reflective rate from the liquid droplets and its surrounding background, butanol-biodiesel-diesel liquid jet penetration length can be highlighted in the images taken by high speed camera. Various ambient temperatures from 800K to 1200K and fuel composition were investigated. Measured results showed that sudden but repeatable drop of liquid jet penetration length at constant ambient temperature conditions of 800K and 900K. With ambient temperature increasing, this phenomenon became weak and disappeared. So more works focus on non-combusting experiments in order to delete combustion reflect. With butanol and biodiesel content increasing, micro explosion becomes prone excited and more violent because of the enlarged differences in volatilities and boiling point among the components. It is concluded that micro explosion which will distinctly enhances premixed combustion process and heat release rate but it present under certain initial ambient temperature conditions only and the light fuel content shouldn’t be lower than 10%.

Abstract In the calendering, or rolling, of a plastic material in to sheet form by passing it between parallel rolls, hydrostatic pressure is exerted against the surface of the roll throughout the region of contact with the plastic mass. This pressure has been measured by means of a pressure-sensitive cylinder, inserted in the body of a 10-in-diam roll, together with high-speed oscillographic technique. The materials which were calendered consisted of a resin which exhibited flow properties characteristic of a viscous liquid, and several filled plastic compositions of commercial interest. Pressure maxima ranging up to 8000 psi were observed. Comparison of experimental results with theoretical expressions for pressure distribution, as given by several authors, indicates that the equation derived by Gaskell quite satisfactorily predicts the results for the case of the viscous liquid. The commercial plastics were found to exhibit pressure-distribution characteristics which were perceptibly different from those of the viscous liquid. Certain limitations of Gaskell’s treatment of nonviscous materials prevent its application to these experimental results.

AbstractThe high-speed liquid-jet velocity achieved using an injector strongly depends on the piston motion, physical property of the liquid, and container shape of the injector. Herein, we investigate the liquid ejection mechanism and a technique for estimating the ejection velocity of a high-speed liquid jet using a pyro jet injector (PJI). We apply a two-dimensional numerical simulation with an axisymmetric approximation using the commercial software ANSYS/FLUENT. To gather the input data applied during the numerical simulation, the piston motion is captured with a high-speed CMOS camera, and the velocity of the piston is measured using motion tracking software. To reproduce the piston motion during the numerical simulation, the boundary-fitted coordinates and a moving boundary method are employed. In addition, we propose a fluid dynamic model (FDM) for estimating the high-speed liquid-jet ejection velocity based on the piston velocity. Using the FDM, we consider the liquid density variation but neglect the effects of the liquid viscosity on the liquid ejection. Our results indicate that the liquid-jet ejection velocity estimated by the FDM corresponds to that predicted by ANSYS/FLUENT for several different ignition-powder weights. This clearly shows that a high-speed liquid-jet ejection velocity can be estimated using the presented FDM when considering the variation in liquid density but neglecting the liquid viscosity. In addition, some characteristics of the presented PJI are observed, namely, (1) a very rapid piston displacement within 0.1 ms after a powder explosion, (2) piston vibration only when a large amount of powder is used, and (3) a pulse jet flow with a temporal pulse width of 0.1 ms.
