The fluent of the two inlet structure on the inner fluid of the hydrocyclone is obtained. It can be concluded that in actual applications, separation efficiency of the hydrocyclone with spiral inlet the entrance is higher, separation effect is better. The numerical simulation can provide a foundation for structural optimization design of hydrocyclone.

This paper deals with the removal of moisture from the contaminated transformer oil. Design of a rectangular separator and the results of water-oil emulsion separation are shown in this paper. The influence of different values of the separator height and the distance between the rows of elements on the emulsion separation efficiency was studied. In order to calculate the process of removing the moisture from transformer insulating oil, the multiphase Eulerian-Eulerian model “Volume of Fluid” with the number of phases equal to 2 was applied in ANSYS Fluent software package. K–ε turbulence model was used for the calculations. The results were obtained while solving the nonstationary issue. In the course of numerical simulation, the object of study was the transformer oil T-1500U, containing some water amount. The results of numerical simulation of water-oil emulsion separation in a rectangular separator are shown. In the course of numerical studies, it was found that the use of a rectangular separator in order to remove the moisture from transformer oil allows it to be purified from water by 99.99%, providing that the geometrical dimensions of device are chosen correctly. The use of developed rectangular separator can be an alternative to the use of decanting tanks, various separators and other purification devices, which have extremely low rate of purification of contaminated spent oils. This separator allows purifying the transformer oil from water with a speed of 1-2 m/s while the efficiency is equal to 99.99%.

Simulation Results

Decreasing the temperature of a greenhouse in summer is very important for the growth of plants. To investigate the effects of a roof sprinkler on the heat environment of a greenhouse, a three-dimensional symmetrical model was built, in which a k-ε (k-epsilon) turbulent model, a DO (Discrete Ordinates) irrational model, a Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations (SIMPLE) algorithm, and a multiphase model were used to simulate the effects of the roof sprinkler, at different flow rates. Based on the simulation results, it was found that the temperature could be further reduced under a proper sprinkle rate, and the temperature distribution in the film on the roof was more uniform. A test was conducted to verify the accuracy of the model, which proved the validity of the numerical results. The simulation results of this study will be helpful for controlling and optimizing the heat environment of a greenhouse.

Discrete phase model was used for three-dimensional numerical simulation of two-phase flow in the ship FGD scrubber. The κ-ε model and SIMPLE algorithm were adopted in the calculation. The results showed that adding porous baffles improved the distribution of flow field in the scrubber. The gas velocity in the scrubber became uniformity and the flue gas resistance decreased when the sprays worked. Under the action of the spray, the differential pressure of spray area changed greatly. The simulation plays a certain role in guiding the structural optimization design of scrubber.

AbstractThe influences of loose gas on gas-solid flows in a large-scale circulating fluidized bed (CFB) gasification reactor were investigated using full-loop numerical simulation. The two-fluid model was coupled with the QC-energy minimization in multi-scale theory (EMMS) gas-solid drag model to simulate the fluidization in the CFB reactor. Effects of the loose gas flow rate, Q, on the solid mass circulation rate and the cyclone separation efficiency were analyzed. The study found different effects depending on Q: First, the particles in the loop seal and the standpipe tended to become more densely packed with decreasing loose gas flow rate, leading to the reduction in the overall circulation rate. The minimum Q that can affect the solid mass circulation rate is about 2.5% of the fluidized gas flow rate. Second, the sealing gas capability of the particles is enhanced as the loose gas flow rate decreases, which reduces the gas leakage into the cyclones and improves their separation efficiency. The best loose gas flow rates are equal to 2.5% of the fluidized gas flow rate at the various supply positions. In addition, the cyclone separation efficiency is correlated with the gas leakage to predict the separation efficiency during industrial operation.

Production Target

In order to provide a theoretical basis for the thermal design of the neutron production target, flow and heat transfer characteristics are studied by using numerical simulations and experiments. A rectangular mini-channel experimental model consistent with the geometric shape of the heat dissipation structure of neutron production target was established, in which the aspect ratio and gap thickness of the test channel were 53.8:1 and 1.3 mm, respectively. The experimental results indicate that the critical Re of the mini-channel is between 3500 and 4000, and when Re reaches 21,000, Nu can reach 160. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental data, and the numerical simulation method can be used for the variable structure optimization design of the target in the later stage. The relationship between the flow pressure drop of the target mini-channel and the aspect ratio and Re is obtained by numerical simulation. The maximum deviation between the correlation and the experimental value is 6%.
