Venturi Scrubber Modelling and Optimization

An improved algorithm that optimizes Pease‐Anthony type venturi scrubber performance is presented in this work. This approach predicts the minimum pressure drop needed to achieve the desired collection efficiency by optimizing key operating and design parameters such as liquid‐to‐gas ratio, throat gas velocity, number of nozzles, nozzle diameter, and throat aspect ratio. A detailed assessment of four established pressure drop models and an extension of two of the models by providing an empirical algorithm to give better prediction of pressure drop in the venturi throat have been conducted by validating them with experimental data. This optimization algorithm provides a stepwise, effective, and accurate approach to optimizing both existing and new scrubbers.     

高热流低流速条件下超临界CO2在小圆管内的对流传热特性

为获取高热流、低流速条件下超临界CO₂的传热规律，开展了超临界CO₂在内径2 mm水平小圆管内对流传热试验研究，并重点探讨了变物性、浮升力和热加速等效应对传热过程的影响。试验参数范围：系统压力7.6~8.4 MPa，质量流速400~500 kg/(m²?s)，热通量0~200 kW/m²，流体温度20~60℃，Reynolds数1.2×10⁴~4.3×10⁴。分别采用Gr/Re ²和Kv作为浮升力效应和热加速效应的判别因子。结果显示，在高热流低流速工况下，浮升力效应显著（Gr/Re ² > 10^-3），同一个截面处的上壁面传热系数始终小于下壁面传热系数。浮升力效应是高热流低流速工况下传热恶化的主要诱发因素。试验中热加速因子较小（Kv < 8.5×10^-7），其效应可以忽略。将试验数据与典型的传热经验关联式作对比，结果表明Liao-Zhao关联式的计算结果与试验结果最吻合。     

CFD and experimental investigations on the micromixing performance of single countercurrent-flow microchannel reactor

Microchannel reactors are widely used in different fields due to their intensive micromixing and, thus, high masstransfer efficiency. In this work, a single countercurrent-flow microchannel reactor(S-CFMCR) at the size of ～1 mm was developed by steel micro-capillary and laser drilling technology. Utilizing the Villermaux/Dushman parallel competing reaction, numerical and experimental studies were carried out to investigate the micromixing performance(expressed as the segregation index XS) of liquids inside S-CFMCR at the low flow velocity regime.The effects of various operating conditions and design parameters of S-CFMCR, e.g., inlet Reynolds number(Re),volumetric flow ratio(R), inlet diameter(d) and outlet length(L), on the quality of micromixing were studied qualitatively. It was found that the micromixing efficiency was enhanced with increasing Re, but weakened with the increase of R. Moreover, d and L also have a significant influence on micromixing. CFD results were in good agreement with experimental data. In addition, the visualization of velocity magnitude, turbulent kinetic energy and concentration distributions of various ions inside S-CFMCR was illustrated as well. Based on the incorporation model, the estimated minimum micromixing time tmof S-CFMCR is ～2 × 10~(-4)s.     

Performance of CO2 absorption in a diameter-varying spray tower

The application of spray towers for CO₂ capture is a development trend in recent years. However, most of the previous jobs were conducted in a cylindrical tower by using a single spray nozzle, whose configuration and performance is not good enough for industrial application. To solve this problem, the present work proposed a diameter-varying spray tower and a new spray mode of dual-nozzle opposed impinging spray to enhance the heat and mass transfer of CO₂ absorption process. Experiments were performed to investigate the mass transfer performance (in terms of the CO₂ removal rate (η) and the overall mass transfer coefficient (K_Ga_e2 are major factors, which affect the absorption performance and the maximums of η and K_Ga_e that are 94.0% and 0.574 kmol·m^-3·h^-1·kPa^-1, respectively, under the experimental conditions. Furthermore, new correlations to predict the mass transfer coefficient of the proposed spray tower are developed in various CO₂ concentrations with a Pearson Correlation Coefficient over 90%.

在自主研发的密相气力输送实验装置上,以N₂作输送载气,以3种不同粒径的褐煤作输送物料进行输送实验,运用域重标分析方法对水平管差压信号和料罐质量脉动序列进行了Hurst指数分析,并采用统计学方法对料罐质量脉动序列进行了标准差分析,从管内流动和料罐出料出发,对整体输送稳定性进行了探讨。结果表明：水平管差压信号Hurst指数H_dp能较好地表征管内流动稳定性,而料罐质量脉动Hurst指数H_ma则需结合标准差分析才能更好地表征料罐出料稳定性。以表观气速与跃移速度比值K为特征参数进行探讨,在K=1.5左侧,随着K值减小,H_dp减小,管内流型发生转变,甚至可能发生堵管,管内流动稳定性变差,料罐质量脉动标准差增大,出料稳定性变差,整体输送稳定性变差;在K=1.5右侧,随着K值增大,H_dp减小趋势不明显,管内流动稳定性虽有变差的趋势,但不会发生堵管,而结合对料罐质量脉动序列的标准差分析,发现出料稳定性变差,甚至可能出现出料中断的情况,整体输送稳定性变差。     

Electrolyte—solvent interaction in the dipolar aprotic solvent dimethyl sulphoxide at 25°C

Conductance measurements are reported for s-alkylisothiouronium bromide, iodide and picrate salts in the dipolar aprotic solvent DMSO at 25°C. The data were analysed by Fuoss's equation (1975–1980) for 1:1 electrolytes, from which the values of Λ₀, the Gurney's cosphere diameter R and K_A are obtained. The results are discussed in the light of the recorded values of the constants K_R and K_S and the free energy term G_s.     

Effect of the wall Nusselt number on the simulation of catalytic fixed bed reactors

Literature correlations for the apparent wall heat transfer coefficient (h_w) in fixed bed catalytic reactors are compared. At low to moderate values of the Reynolds number (Re), different correlations can produce estimates of the dimensionless wall Nusselt number (Nu_w = h_wd_p/k_f) that differ by an order of magnitude or more. Some correlations give Nu_w as a function of Re only, others allow for the effects of tube-to-particle diameter ratio and particle and fluid thermal conductivities. The value of Nu_w that is used in a simulation of a fixed bed catalytic reactor can have a strong effect on the predicted behavior. Two examples of fixed bed reactors are simulated and show that the more general correlations for Nu_w are to be preferred.     

基于停留时间分布的缠绕管内二次流研究

缠绕管内二次流能够显著强化管内传质、传热性能。通过测量缠绕管内液体的停留时间分布,利用无量纲方差σ²表征二次流强度,研究了缠绕直径、缠绕角度、缠绕管管径等结构参数对二次流的影响。结果表明：在径向流动未达到极限迁移距离的缠绕管中,随着液体Reynolds数Re的增大,σ²先减小后增大,对应缠绕管内依次出现的湍流作用区和二次流作用区;在径向流动达到极限迁移距离的缠绕管中,随着Re的增大,σ²先减小后增大最后趋于平稳,对应缠绕管内依次出现的湍流作用区、二次流作用区和二次流极限区。从湍流作用区转变为二次流作用区的临界Reynolds数Re_S随缠绕管缠绕直径和管径的减小而减小,缠绕角度对Re_S的影响较小。

微细通道内Taylor流动广泛应用于能源化工领域，为分析其相界面及阻力特性，利用相对坐标系的方法，研究了竖直圆管及扁平管内的液-液Taylor流动，讨论了通道宽高比、Reynolds数（Re）及分散相体积分数对液膜厚度和两相压降的影响。结果表明：圆管内液滴头部和尾部可以膨胀至近似球形，而扁平管内壁面的限制作用较强，液滴呈现扁平状。随Reynolds数增大，两相界面逐渐收缩，液膜厚度逐渐上升。圆管内液膜厚度比较均匀，扁平管内液膜在通道顶部较薄，而圆弧部分较厚。两相压降随Re和宽高比的增大而增大，随分散相体积分数的增大而降低。相比连续相和分散相压降，界面压降所占的比重最高，并依据模拟结果，提出了圆管及扁平管内液-液Taylor流动的压降预测公式。     

Flow characteristics and pressure drop across the Laval nozzle in dense phase pneumatic conveying of the pulverized coal

Experimental studies were performed to describe the physical phenomena occurring in dense phase pneumatic conveying of the pulverize coal with a Laval nozzle installed in the pipeline. The maximal coal mass flow rate decreased from 0.87 kg/s to 0.35 kg/s and an obvious decrease in the solids loading ratio was revealed after the Laval nozzle was installed. In addition, the Laval nozzle showed a better capacity of resisting disturbance, which made it easier to control the coal mass flow rate precisely and promoted the stable conveying process. These specific physical phenomena were proved to result from the high pressure drop of the Laval nozzle. Thereby, a mathematic model was developed to predict the two-phase pressure drop across the Laval nozzle. The pressure drop model described the experimental data within the 15% deviation. The main influence factors contributing to the pressure drop of the Laval nozzle were discussed using the model. Then the effects of gas mass flow rate, solids loading ratio, convergence angle, throat diameter and throat length were revealed.

LPL thermostability was not influenced by solvent config- uration, whereas activation energy was twice as high in (R)-carvone as in (S)-carvone.     

排气管直径与深度对水力喷射空气旋流器传质性能的影响

对水力喷射空气旋流器(WSA)的中心排气管直径D_e和排气管插入深度S进行了设计优化研究,实验考察了不同D_e和S对WSA脱氨传质系数K_La和气相压降的影响,提出了综合评价传质过程效率的概念——单位压降传质效率η_p,讨论了D_e和S的设计取值。研究表明,当D_e增大时,K_La和气相压降均随之降低,较小D_e的WSA具有较高的气液传质性能,但气相压降比较大,而K_La和气相压降均随S增大而增大。综合能效关系表明,随着D_e的增大η_p增大,随着S的增大η_p出现先增大后降低的趋势,WSA设计中D_e与WSA直径D之比D_e/D宜为0.42～0.53,S与WSA筒体长度H之比S/H适宜取值约为0.70。

循环射流混合槽作为一种高效的混合装置在化工过程强化处理技术中具有潜在的工业应用前景。由于缺乏对其内多相体系流动和混合行为的研究,制约了循环射流混合反应器的优化设计与工业化应用。本文选取水和二甲基硅油两相体系,采用计算流体力学软件ANSYS Fluent V16.1中Eulerian-Eulerian多相流模型和SST k-?湍流模型,对两种不同加料方式下循环射流混合槽内液液两相射流中心线速度、离析强度、拉伸率等参数进行研究。研究结果表明：分散相浓度（α_d）增大射流卷吸能耗增大,在l/s<0.4内α_d=1.80%和2.86%量纲为1的射流中心线速度衰减趋势与α_d=6.00%相比减弱51%和21%;在低分散相浓度时,量纲为1的射流中心线速度随Re的增大衰减趋势变化小,在l/s<0.24内Re=6346、9519和12692量纲为1的射流中心线速度衰减趋势与Re=3173相比分别减弱2.60%、2.87%和12.69%。离析强度随混合时间的增大而减小,随周向角度增大呈W形变化趋势。在相含率和雷诺数相同时,对称球状较圆柱状加料达到混合时间减少65.5%;不同喷嘴之间的拉伸率随迹线长度的增大而增大,jet1和jet9位置处的拉伸率与其余喷嘴相比较大;相同喷嘴之间拉伸率随Re的增大而增大,Re=6346、9519和12692的拉伸率与Re=3173相比分别提高289%~320%、418%~454%和607%~667%。

This study investigated catalytic decomposition and mass transfer of aqueous ozone promoted by Fe-Mn-Cu/γ-Al₂O₃ (Cat) in a rotating packed bed (RPB) for the first time. The results showed that the value of the overall decomposition rate constant of ozone (K_c) and overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient (K_La) are 4.28×10^-3 s^-1 and 11.60×10^-3 s^-1 respectively at an initial pH of 6, β of 40, of 60 mg·L^-1 and Q_L of 85 L·h^-1 in deionized water, respectively. Meanwhile, the K_c and K_La values of Fenhe water are 0.88×10^-3 s^-1 and 2.51×10^-3 s^-1 lower than deionized water, respectively. In addition, the K_c and K_La values in deionized water for the Cat/O₃-RPB system are 44.86% and 47.41% higher than that for the Cat/O₃-BR (bubbling reactor) system, respectively, indicating that the high gravity technology can facilitate the decomposition and mass transfer of ozone in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation and provide some insights into the industrial wastewater.     

跨临界CO2快速膨胀过程中非平衡冷凝和闪蒸机理的数值研究

跨临界CO₂在高速膨胀时,压力和温度剧烈下降,会发生非平衡相变。其中在天然气超声速分离设备和超临界CO₂离心压缩机中CO₂会发生非平衡冷凝相变;在引射膨胀制冷系统中,跨临界CO₂在引射器主动喷嘴中发生非平衡闪蒸相变。为解决跨临界CO₂在膨胀过程中物性变化剧烈,非平衡相变模拟困难的问题,构建了新型非平衡相变CFD模型,以研究跨临界CO₂在超声速缩放喷嘴中的非平衡冷凝和非平衡闪蒸的相变过程和膨胀机理,模型耦合了温度驱动的蒸发-冷凝相变机制和压力驱动的空化-冷凝相变机制,并用文献中的试验结果验证了模型的准确性。研究结果表明,在冷凝相变过程中,由压力驱动的冷凝传质具有主要影响,压力驱动的冷凝传质主要存在于喷嘴喉部与内流区域,温度驱动的冷凝传质主要存在于喷嘴渐扩段壁面。冷凝传质速率随着进口压力的增加和进口温度的降低而增加,从而使冷凝的非平衡程度和喷嘴内的干度降低,喷嘴渐扩段内达到声速的位置也相应延后。在闪蒸相变过程中,由温度驱动的蒸发传质占据主导,蒸发相变主要发生在喷嘴喉部附近,空化相变主要发生在喷嘴渐扩段,两相CO₂在喷嘴的渐扩段达到声速。随着喷嘴进口压力的增加和进口温度的降低,闪蒸的非平衡程度增加,使喷嘴内的干度减小。本研究有助于厘清跨临界CO₂快速膨胀中的非平衡闪蒸和冷凝相变机理,并为跨临界CO₂膨胀设备的分析和优化设计提供参考。

Mass transfer variation within a packed bed and its relation to liquid distribution

The limiting current method is applied to characterize the local mass transfer in the axial, radial and angular directions throughout a packed bed of Pall rings. This is expressed in terms of the particle-to-fluid mass transfer coefficient of ferricyanide ions obtained from the limiting currents measured during its reduction to ferrocyanide at different locations in the bed. Particular focus is placed on the variability of the mass transfer coefficient with position in terms of the quantity MT_VAR, equivalent to the normalized deviation of the function Sh/Sc^0.33. The results confirm those reported by other researchers using more traditional liquid collection and tracer methods. Mass transfer coefficients throughout the bed closely follow normal distributions for the range of Re values investigated. When a multipoint distributor is used, MT_VAR is already low at the lowest flow rate (Re=95) considered and remains unchanged with any further increase in flow rate. In the case of a single-point distributor, on the other hand, MT_VAR decreases with increasing flow rate, but always remains significantly higher than that observed with the multipoint distributor. Moreover, the MT_VAR value depends on whether irrigated or full flow conditions prevail and on the cross-sectional area of the sampling electrodes, suggesting that local mass transfer variations are caused by local liquid velocity variations once the Pall rings are sufficiently wetted.
