Mechanical Mixer

For many engineering fields, it is of practical significance to construct and reasonably simplify the solid-liquid two-phase flow model in the cylinder of mechanical mixer. However, the existing studies have not considered how the control technology affects the fluid features in the mixer. From the angle of automatic variable frequency control, this paper carries out a numerical simulation of the fluid flow features in mechanical mixer. Firstly, the authors constructed the system structure for the mixer with automatic variable frequency control, and summarized the basic devices and the number of input/output points of the system. Then, the relationship between the force energy and control frequency of the mixing cylinder was detailed. Afterwards, the Euler-Euler two fluid model was introduced to numerically simulate the solid-liquid two-phase flow in the cylinder of the mixer, which contains both solid particles and liquid, followed by the establishment of control equation, the drag model, and the turbulence model. The proposed model was proved effective through experiments. The research findings provide a reference for the relevant research and the optimal design of the drive module of mixers.

In order to investigate the silt abrasion of modified trailing edge of stay vane in Francis turbine, the numerical simulation of trailing edge with different geometries were carried out based on the solid-liquid two-phase flow by means of Computation Fluid Dynamics. The results show that low solid volume fraction distributes on the chamfered surface of trailing edge, and high solid volume fraction distributes on the end of oblique surface. The smaller the modified angle is, the larger the distribution area of high solid volume fraction is, which show the trailing edge with smaller oblique angle may suffer from silt abrasion. Therefore, in order to solve the vibration caused by Karman vortex the trailing edge has to be sharpened, the oblique angle of trailing edge should not be too small. At end of trailing edge needs to ensure a certain thickness, especially the trailing edge near the lower ring can be thicker, which can meet the anti-abrasion requirements.

In order to study the wear law of the centrifugal pump flowing surface under different wear-rings clearance, the McLaury wear model was used to conduct the full-passage numerical simulation of solid-liquid two-phase flow in a single-stage single-suction centrifugal pump. The reliability of the numerical calculation method is verified by comparing the experimental data and numerical simulation results. The clearance is 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 mm, respectively. The results show that the wear of the centrifugal pump blades is mainly concentrated in the end part and the inlet part of the blade, and the wear of the pressure surface at the end of the suction surface and the front of the blade is more serious. As the clearance increases, the maximum wear value in the impeller increases first and then decreases, reaching a maximum at 0.15 mm. With the increase of the clearance, the wear degree and the wear rate of the volute wall surface first increase and then decrease, and reach the maximum at 0.2 mm. With the increase of the clearance and the concentration of the fluid medium, the wear at the clearance of the centrifugal pump is more serious, and the severe wear area exhibits a point-like circumferential distribution.
