Baking treatment is one of the most important processes of cigarette production, which can significantly enhance quality of tobacco. Theoretical and numerical investigation on temperature distribution in a cigarette oven during baking was carried out. The finite volume method was used to simulate the flow field. The relationship between the uniformity of temperature field and impeller?s speed was given finally, which is helpful to optimize cigarette oven with better quality and less energy consumption.

To get the low temperature transformation product of austenite, study of cooling behavior of coil is essential. Temperature distribution profile of the hot strip coil has been determined by using finite volume method (FVM) vis-à-vis finite difference method (FDM). It has been demonstrated that FVM offer greater computational reliability in estimation of contact pressure distribution and hence the temperature distribution for curved and irregular profiles, owing to the flexibility in selection of grid geometry and discrete point position, Moreover, use of finite volume concept allows enforcing the conservation of mass, momentum and energy, leading to enhanced accuracy of prediction.

Purpose By modeling and analyzing the two-phase mechanical seal of the fan-shaped groove end face, which is prone to phase change, an effective method to study the flow field of the mechanical seal when both cavitation and boiling exist simultaneously is found. Design/methodology/approach Based on the finite volume method, a fluid model was developed to investigate a two-phase mechanical seal. The validity of the proposed model was verified by comparing with some classical models. Findings By modeling and analyzing the two-phase mechanical seal of the fan-shaped groove end face, which is prone to phase change, the analysis of the gap flow field of the mechanical seal was realized when cavitation and boiling existed simultaneously. Originality/value Based on the model proposed for different conditions, the pressure and phase states in the shallow groove sealing gap were compared. The phase change rate between the mechanical seal faces was also investigated.

AbstractAn electric field solver based on a finite volume method using refined structural mesh is proposed to implement a quadtree structure and estimate the electric flux in the mesh cell. Numerical experiments were carried out using uniform and non-uniform meshes to assess quality of numerical modeling. The proposed method of verification of the quality of numerical calculations based on circular symmetry of the electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) probe allows to assess the effectiveness of mesh refinement and to reduce the number of mesh elements. Experiments showed that even a moderate level of mesh refinement is sufficient to significantly reduce the simulation error that occurs in modeling of cylindrical probes. The reduced number of mesh elements and applied implementation of the quadtree ensures high speed of forward problem calculations.

Theoretical investigation on particle transport in a 90 degree bend was carried out. The finite volume method was used to simulate the flow field in the bend pipe, and one-way coupled Lagrangian method was used to calculate the trajectory and deposition efficiency of microparticles. The unique relationship between the irreversible deposition efficiency and radius ratio of single-shell microparticle was given finally.
