In order to study the two-phase flow field in the SLG continuous powder surface modifying machine for non-metallic material, which have been widely used in the powder engineering of China, a three-dimensional CFD model is developed to make the numerical simulations of the inner gas-particle flow field based on the industrial SLG-3/600 type modifying machine. By the help of the Fluent software, the gas velocity field, pressure field, particle concentration field and moving trace of the two-phase flow field are obtained. The simulation results indicate that these fields are distributed non-uniformly in the SLG modifying machine. Besides, a shortcut phenomenon is observed during the moving of the particles. The numerical simulations can not only depict the flow characteristics inside the SLG modifying machine, but also present useful reference to the mechanism study and optimal design to further improve its structure and working parameters in the future.

As the geometric complexity of porous media brings about technical diffculties of the measurement and the visualization of the microscopic flow field, only few attempts have ever been made at the experimental examination of the two-phase flow through porous media. Therefore, we adopt a bank of tubes in a narrow gap as a porous model, and perform the visualization to examine the microscopic flow field for the horizontal two-phase flow through porous media in detail. The solid matrix in porous media plays an important role in the formation of the two-phase flow pattern. The solid matrix forces larger bubble than its representative length to be split, and the liquid bridge due to the capillary effect prevents the gas-phase merging together. Furthermore, the bubbles are trapped in the wide space surrounded with the solid matrices, where the compound bubble further absorbs smaller bubbles.

The goal of this study is to understand the behavior of a safety relief valve in presence of a two-phase flow induced by cavitation, in which the mass flux tends to be reduced. Two distinct safety relief valves are tested: an API 2J3 type and a transparent model based on an API 1 1/2G3 type. Instead of using a spring, the design of both valves allows the adjustment of the disk at any desired lift. Tests are conducted with water at ambient temperature. Results show a similar influence of cavitation on the flow characteristics of both valves. The liquid pressure recovery factor FL, which is normally used to identify a choked flow condition in a control valve, is experimentally determined in a safety relief valve. The existence of a local minimum located at a height position L/D = 0.14 indicates in this position, a change on the flow characteristics of both valves. It is verified that the existence of a local minimum in the liquid recovery factor is related to the minimum cross section of the flow, which does not remain constant for every lift positions. Furthermore, it is remarked that in the case of the 2J3 safety valve, the blow down ring adjustment has significant influence on the location of the minimum cross sections of the flow.
