The Impact

The purpose of the study described in this paper was to investigate the impact of shroud curvature on the performance of a centrifugal impeller or stage. The paper discusses a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study done to assess the influence of shroud curvature on impeller performance. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analyses (FEA) methods were used to describe the various designs of the impeller. Aerodynamic and mechanical analysis results are presented for four impellers of varying cover curvature and axial length. The aerodynamic results showed there were clear aerodynamic benefits to decreasing the curvature along the impeller shroud. The mechanical analytical results showed that the impeller with the lowest curvature or longest axial length provided the highest performance; it also yielded the lowest Von Mises stress level. In closing, there are clear aerodynamic benefits to decreasing the curvature along the impeller shroud but these benefits must be weighed against the impact on the rotordynamic considerations Comments are offered regarding the rotordynamic issues that must be considered when increasing the length of impellers.

The Impact

The research paper investigates the impact of a window’s exterior air film on the assembly temperature. The exterior air film constitutes a vital portion of a window’s insulating values. The air film increases the temperature of the window exterior pane to a temperature above ambient temperature. The air film also rises the interior glass temperature and reduces the heat transfer from the interior surface. According to computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the air film is removed in windy conditions, decreasing the window temperature on the outside as well as on the inside. The idea behind the project is to carry out an experimental procedure on three different windows to validate the CFD results, which indicates the effect of various wind speeds.

Liquid Separator

For a gas-liquid separator sizing, many engineers have neglected the flow pattern of incoming fluids. The impact of inlet slug flow which impeded onto the separator’s liquid phase will cause a separator fails to perform when sloshing happened in the separator. To date, the study on verifying the impact of inlet slug flow in a separator remains limited. In this paper, the impact of inlet momentum and inlet slug flow on the hydrodynamics in a separator for cases without an inlet device were investigated. The experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results of cavity formation and sloshing occurrence in the separator in this study were compared. A User Defined Function (UDF) was used to describe the inlet slug flow at the separator inlet. Inlet slug flow occurred at inlet momentum from 200 to 1000 Pa, and sloshing occurred in the separator at 1000 Pa. Both experimental and simulated results showed similar phenomena.

Earlier investigations (Cartland Glover et al., 2004) into the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for the modelling of gas-liquid and gas-liquid-solid flow allowed a simple biochemical reaction model to be implemented. A single plane mesh was used to represent the transport and reaction of molasses, the mould Aspergillus niger and citric acid in a bubble column with a height to diameter aspect ratio of 20:1. Two specific growth rates were used to examine the impact that biomass growth had on the local solids concentration and the effect this had on the local hydrodynamics of the bubble column.

The research aims to predict the efficiency of capturing the soot particles generated by the diesel generator within the Hydro Cyclone by conducting the applied study using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) application through modeling and simulation of the turbulent flow within the Hydro Cyclone using SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation. The ability to predict the impact of such flows on your product performance is time consuming and costly without some form of simulation tools...SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis to enable quick, efficient simulation of fluid flow and can easily calculate fluid forces and help the designer to understand the impact of a liquid or gas on product performance and comparing the results with experimental reality. In this research, the engineering simulation confirmed the importance of using Hydro Cyclone in the capture of diesel soot particles by an error rate of only 4% compared to experimental reality.

Abstract To analyze the impact of exhaust emissions from mine hydraulic support transporters on the roadway environment. In this paper, the dispersion distribution of diesel exhaust pollutant during the functioning of a hydraulic support transporters were all-round simulated by Dynamic Mesh of Computational Fluid Dynamics. More specifically, the dispersion and distribution of the main exhaust pollutants CO, HC, and NOx emitted by vehicles under the influence of the roadway wind flow were simulated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the dispersion of exhaust pollutants from hydraulic support transporters during multiple driving phases in an alleyway (from hauling in material, unloading at idle speed, to driving off with no load) was predicted. The simulation results show that the exhaust pollutants emitted during the movement of hydraulic support transporters can pollute the roadway environment and negatively affect gas monitoring devices in the roadway. Therefore, coal mining enterprises should optimize the ventilation design scheme to improve the roadway environment: they should increase the ventilation volume to dilute the emitted pollutants; in addition, the locations of underground gas monitoring devices should be adjusted to avoid interference from exhaust pollutants emitted by vehicles. This paper provides a theoretical basis for the preliminary investigation of the dispersion and transportation characteristics of exhaust pollutants emitted by vehicles in roadways, the research in this paper is of guiding significance to reduce the inhalation of the diesel exhaust pollutants of the miners and reduce the probability of suffering from occupational diseases.

The Impact

Industrial application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) requires the solution of complex fluid-flow problems in conjunction with equipment design, process and product development and optimization. For the successful solution of these problems, a high degree of coordination between industrial CFD engineers, software developers, consultants and academic scientists is necessary. In a refinery, CFD may be applied to a variety of problems. In particular, combustion, flames, flares and chemical reaction are of interest because of the physics and the complex nature of the process. Two applications are presented in this paper to demonstrate the use of CFD modeling for improving furnace operations. The first concerns improvements in reboiler operation by changing burner arrangement. A three-burner arrangement has resulted in tube burnout in the past. CFD modeling suggested a four-burner arrangement is better. The recommendation was accepted and implemented by the refinery in 2002. Feedback from the refinery suggests a much cooler furnace operation is observed in the field. The second application concerns predicting Coker furnace operation of as yet uninstalled heater. The Coker radiant section is modeled with 4 burners. Predicting the impact of burner-burner interaction on the radiant heat flux helps in determining the time period for decoke. Several mitigation steps are suggested to increase the run length between decoking intervals. Further recommendation to create a balanced heat flux profile is provided.

The Impact

Centrifugal separation equipment, such as solid bowl centrifuges, is used to carry out an effective separation of fine particles from industrial fluids. Knowledge of the streams and sedimentation behavior inside solid bowl centrifuges is necessary to determine the geometry and the process parameters that lead to an optimal performance. Regarding a given industrial centrifuge geometry, a grid was built to calculate numerically the multiphase flow of water, air, and particles with a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. The effect of internal radial baffles on the multiphase flow was investigated. The results show that the baffles are helpful for the acceleration of the fluid, but they disturb the axial boundary layer, making it irregular, and originate a secondary circulating flow which hinders the sedimentation of small particles.
