LDV measurements of particle velocity distribution in an annular stripper

Particle descent velocities in an annular stripper were measured by a laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) system. In the radial direction, particle descent velocity was relatively constant in the mid-region of the stripper and increased towards the walls on both sides, exhibiting an anti-U-shaped distribution. Particle descent velocity in the radial mid-region increased with the increase of superficial gas velocity, and the maximum in the outer wall region increased significantly with the increase of solid mass flux. Superficial stripping gas velocity had stronger effect on particle velocity distributions near the stripper gas distributor, and such effect weakened with the increase of the distance from the distributor. Local particle velocity and its radial profiles could be adjusted by changing the superficial stripping gas velocity. Empirical formulas were established to describe the relationships between the local particle velocity and cross-sectional averaged velocity based on the effects of operating conditions and measuring positions. The result showed that the predicted data was in good agreement with the experimental value.     

Analysis of acoustic Doppler current profiler mean velocity measurements in shallow flows

Acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) are commonly used instruments for measurement of natural streamflow and flow in manmade channels. Velocities measured in a profile by the instrument are used to estimate the discharge in a channel. A Teledyne RD Instruments StreamPro ADCP was used to measure the mean velocity simultaneously with a laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) in a laboratory flume. An average of 3.9% under-prediction of the mean velocity measured by the ADCP occurred when compared to the measurements of the LDA. Moreover, this study shows that the sampling duration of the measurements significantly impacts the mean point velocities measured by up to 50%.     

The influence of the waveguide on the quality of measurements with ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry

The article is devoted to the study of the influence of geometric parameters of sound-conducting walls on the quality of measurement of liquid metal flow velocities by ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry. It was shown that the thickness and radius of a sound-conducting wall (waveguide) have a notable effect on the resulting velocity profiles. The flow in a round pipe, the length of which is much larger than its diameter, is considered as a reference flow. The positive effect of a stepwise waveguides with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the piezoelectric element of an ultrasonic transducer on the quality of velocity measurements was verified experimentally. It was found that the accuracy of the resulting velocity profiles largely depends on the length and the material of the waveguides, as well as the velocity of the incoming flow of liquid metal.     

Performance of the LDA Volumetric Flow Rate Standard Under Severely Disturbed Flow Conditions

Flow meters in thermal power plants are operated at high temperatures and pressures and often encounter disturbed flow profiles. This leads to an increased measurement uncertainty, limiting the safe operating range of flow rates and thus, the plant's power output. To respond to this shortcoming, the laser optical flow rate standard (LFS) was developed. The LFS is designed to allow the on-site calibration of industrial flow meters in power plants at high temperatures and pressures. It makes use of the laser Doppler anemometry (LDA), as a fundamental and non-invasive method, to measure the velocity field simultaneously with two LDA systems. The volumetric flow rate is then determined by means of integration. Here, we present flow rate measurements for a fully developed pipe flow and for six pipe diameters downstream of a disturbance generator. The mean deviation in flow rate between the two LDA systems was 0.05%, with a mean deviation from the gravimetric reference flow rate of 0.12%. The highest deviations from the reference were 0.21% and 0.31%, for the first and second system respectively.

螺旋折流板换热器壳程流动特性

可视化实验研究了透明螺旋折流板换热器的壳程速度分布特征,重点研究了轴向速度的分布规律及对应的机理。结果表明,轴向速度按照折流板的螺旋周期呈周期性变化,不同流量下同一测点的轴向速度分布规律相似。轴向速度在换热器壳程周边区域分布比较均匀,沿轴向变化幅度较小,流动相对稳定,湍流度较低。由于受三角区漏流的影响,管束中心区域轴向流速急剧增大,沿轴向变化幅度较大,稳定性差,湍流强度较高。中心区域轴向速度平均值明显高于外围区域,离换热器中心越近,轴向速度越大。随着壳程流量的增大,中心区域轴向速度的增幅高于外围区域。管束中心处轴向速度波动剧烈,壳程流量较小时,中心处轴向流速平均值最大,随着流量的增加,湍流度增大,流体返混现象明显,中心处轴向流速平均值逐渐减小。     

LDA measurements and CFD simulations of an in‐line high shear mixer with ultrafine teeth

Hydrodynamics of a pilot‐scale in‐line high shear mixer (HSM) with double rows of ultrafine rotor and stator teeth, including the velocity profiles and power consumptions, were measured using laser Doppler anemometry and a torque transducer, respectively. Computational fluid dynamics simulations were conducted using the standard k‐ε turbulence model with first‐ and second‐order accuracy and large eddy simulation (LES) with the standard Smagorinsky–Lilly subgrid scale model. Predictive capabilities of the different turbulence models and discretization schemes were assessed based on the experimental data. It is found that the current LES can predict accurately the flow patterns for the strongly rotating and locally anisotropic turbulent flows in the complex in‐line HSM. The results obtained are fundamental to explore potential applications of the in‐line teethed HSMs to intensify chemical reaction processes. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 60: 1143–1155, 2014
