In order to solve the problem of increasing the efficiency of purification of industrial gas emissions from aerosol particles, the authors developed a jet-film contact device, described the principle of its operation. The results of numerical studies to determine the efficiency of aerosol deposition on a fluid film of a jet-film contact device are presented. The study was carried out in the ANSYS Fluent software package, using the turbulence model of the k-ω SST model. Different variants of the ratio of the height to the width of the structure of the device are considered. The velocity of the gas flow and the sizes of the dispersed particles are changed. It is shown that to achieve high technical and economic performance of heat and mass transfer devices with jet-film contact devices, they should be designed taking into account the choice of optimum values for the height of the downcomer (kb = 0,46÷0,53).

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 use of vane-less diffuser with large diffusion angle has shown a setback in the diffusion process of high temperature working fluids. The hot gas flow was characterized as a jet-like flow. This paper presents problem, encountered practically, using a vane-less diffuser with large diffusion angle and how the problem is solved by CFD simulation. The investigated thermal diffuser has a length of 0.3 m, an inlet to outlet crosssectional area ratio of 1:25 and diffusion angle of 115.44o. To resolve the jet-like flow problem and poor distribution of the flow temperature at the diffuser outlet, the study suggested the use of guide-vanes into the diffuser. The study employed CFD simulation by ANSYS-FLUENT software to analyze the flow and thermal process in the diffuser. Three different shapes of guide vanes; block-shaped, oval-shaped and airfoil-shaped were considered in this study and at different vanes diffusion angles, as well as vane-less case, which was adopted as the bench mark case. The simulation results of the velocity, temperature and pressure at the diffuser outlet were compared for all cases. It was found that the guide vanes with symmetrical airfoil profile provided the best performance with most uniform distribution at the outlet of the diffuser. Also, the airfoil-shaped guide vanes resulted in lower pressure losses compared to the block-shaped and oval-shaped guide vanes. According to the analysis results, the diffuser was redesigned to improve the diffusion and temperature distribution across the diffuser outlet.

Abstract It is necessary to evaluate the performance of the main rotor in design stages of a rotorcraft to obtain the assumed lift force and low aerodynamic drag. This paper presents the CFD numerical analysis of the autorotating rotor under transient conditions. Auto-rotation is particularly important in the case of gyrocopters, while in the case of helicopters it is related to flight safety. The calculations allowed us to obtain aerodynamic forces and torque as a function of rotor azimuth for individual rotor blades. The analysis was performed for a rotor tilted by 15 degrees toward the airflow direction. A geometric model was created for the calculations and then a computational model was created in Ansys Fluent software. The k-ω SST model was adopted as the turbulence model which considers the turbulence kinetic energy and its unit dissipation. The obtained results are presented in a rotor and flow coordinate system.

This article sets out to estimate power consumption when trapping finely-dispersed particles of silicon dioxide using a separator with coaxially-arranged pipes, as well as the efficiency of such an installation. To this end, a numerical simulation of the movement of a gas flow with finely-dispersed particles of silicon dioxide through a separator with coaxial pipes was carried out in the ANSYS Fluent software. During the experiments, the inlet gas flow rate varied from 5 to 10 m/s, while the width and height of the rectangular slit ranged 2.1-8.7 and 10-30 mm, respectively. It was shown that the maximum efficiency of collecting finely-dispersed silicon dioxide particles and the minimum power consumption required for pumping the gas flow through the installation largely depends on the formation of a stable vortex structure in the interpipe space. The research showed that the optimal inlet gas flow rate equals 7.5 m/s. At this rate, the efficiency of particle collection corresponds to higher rates with a devia tion of ± 6%. In this case, the pressure loss is 1.74 times lower than that at higher rates. In order to achieve an efficiency of at least 90% with the height of the rectangular slit from 10 to 30 mm, the Stokes numbers must correspond to values of more than 50. The power consumption required for pumping a gas containing silicon dioxide particles through a separator equipped with coaxial pipes comprises from 1.9 to 31.2 W at the inlet gas flow rate of 7.5 m/s. In this case, the parameters of the rectangular slit are as follows: width - from 2.1 to 8.7 mm, height - from 10 to 30 mm. The use of separators with coaxially-arranged pipes in technological lines based on plasma technologies can become an alternative to installations for fine gas purification.

Steady State Heat Transfer

The heat sink with vertically rectangular interrupted fins was investigated numerically in a natural convection field, with steady-state heat transfer. A numerical study has been conducted using ANSYS Fluent software (R16.1) in order to develop a 3-D numerical model.  The dimensions of the fins are (305 mm length, 100 mm width, 17 mm height, and 9.5 mm space between fins. The number of fins used on the surface is eight. In this study, the heat input was used as follows: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 watts. This study focused on interrupted rectangular fins with a different arrangement and angle of the fins. Results show that the addition of interruption in fins in various arrangements will improve the thermal performance of the heat sink, and through the results, a better interruption rate as an equation can be obtained.

The steelmaking field has been seeing an increased demand of reducing hydrogen and nitrogen in liquid steel before casting. This is often accomplished by vacuum treatment. This paper focuses on developing a numerical model to investigate the removal of hydrogen and nitrogen from the melt of medium carbon steel in a commercial vacuum tank degasser. An activity coefficient model and the eddy-cell expression are implemented in the ANSYS FLUENT code to compute the activities of related elements and mass transfer coefficients of hydrogen and nitrogen in liquid steel. Several cases are simulated to assess the effect of gas flow rate and initial nitrogen content in liquid steel on degassing process and the calculated results are compared with industrial measured data.

Aspiration Efficiency

Abstract In this study, the dispersion and deposition of particles in the respiratory system attached to a mannequin lying down inside a room were investigated numerically. The respiratory system model was prepared by processing the CT scan images of a volunteer and was attached to a mannequin lying in the middle of a room. The flow field around the mannequin and effects of the thermal plume on the particle aspiration by the mannequin model was simulated using the Ansys-Fluent software. The aspiration efficiency of spherical particles in the airway was studied with the Lagrangian particle trajectory analysis, including the turbulence dispersion effects. For validation of numerical simulations, the aspiration efficiency of the particles obtained from the numerical solution was compared with the case of a standing mannequin. The results are presented for two different modes with upward and downward thermal plumes. For the first mode, due to the strong effect of the thermal plume in the upward direction, the aspiration efficiency of midrange particles increases. However, the aspiration efficiency of large micro-particles decreases for the first mode. For the second mode, with the downward thermal plume, the aspiration efficiency of small micro-particles increases significantly.
