Effect of droplet characteristics on liquid-phase distribution in spray zone of internal mixing air-mist nozzle

In continuous casting production,droplet characteristics are important parameters for evaluating the nozzle atomization quality,and have a significant impact on the secondary cooling effect and the slab quality.In order to study the behavior of atomized droplets after reaching the slab surface and to optimize the spray cooling effect,the influence of droplet diameter and droplet velocity on the migration behavior of droplets in the secondary cooling zone was analyzed by FLUENT software.Results show that the droplets in the spray zone and on the slab surface are mainly concentrated in the center,thus,the liquid volume fraction in the center is higher than that of either side.As the droplet diameter increases,the region of high liquid volume fraction on the slab surface becomes wider,and the liquid phase distribution in the slab width direction becomes uneven.Although increasing the droplet velocity at the nozzle exit has little effect on droplet diffusion in the spray zone,the distribution becomes more uneven due to more liquid reaches the slab surface per unit time.A prediction formula of the maximum water flow rate on the slab surface for specific droplet characteristics was proposed based on dimensionless analysis and validated by simulated data.A nozzle spacing of 210 mm was recommended under the working conditions in this study,which ensures effective coverage of the spray water over the slab surface and enhances the distribution uniformity of water flow rate in the transverse direction.

Sensitivity of the Grid-point Atmospheric Model of IAP LASG(GAMILI.I.0)Climate Simulations to Cloud Droplet Effective Radius and Liquid Water Path

This paper documents a study to examine the sensitivity to cloud droplet effective radius and liquid water path and the alleviation the energy imbalance at the top of the atmosphere and at the surface in the latest version of the Grid-point Atmospheric Model of the State Key Laboratory of Numerical Modeling for Atmospheric Sciences and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics （LASG）, Institute of Atmospheric Physics （IAP） （GAMIL1.1.0）. Considerable negative biases in all flux components, and thus an energy imbalance, are found in GAMIL1.1.0. In order to alleviate the energy imbalance, two modifications, namely an increase in cloud droplet effective radius and a decrease in cloud liquid water path, have been made to the cloud properties used in GAMIL. With the increased cloud droplet effective radius, the single scattering albedo of clouds is reduced, and thus the reflection of solar radiation into space by clouds is reduced and the net solar radiation flux at the top of the atmosphere is increased. With the reduced cloud optical depth, the net surface shortwave radiation flux is increased, causing a net warming over the land surface. This results in an increase in both sensible and latent heat fluxes over the land regions, which is largely balanced by the increased terrestrial radiation fluxes. Consequently, the energy balance at the top of atmosphere and at the surface is achieved with energy flux components consistent with available satellite observations.

Adhesion forces for water/oil droplet and bubble on coking coal surfaces with different roughness

Surface roughness plays a significant role in floatability of coal.In the present paper,coking coal surface was polished by three different sandpapers and the surface properties were characterized by contact angle and roughness measurements.The effect of surface roughness on floatability was investigated by adhesion force measurement system for measuring interaction forces between droplets/bubbles and coking coal surfaces with different roughness.The results showed that the contact angle decreased with increasing roughness yet the adhesion force between the water droplet and coal surface increased owing to the increased contact line and the appearance of line pinning.Maximum adhesion forces between water and surfaces were 111.70,125.48,and 136.42μN when the roughness was 0.23,0.98,and 2.79 μm,respectively.In contrast,under a liquid environment,the adhesion forces between air bubble/oil droplet and coal surfaces were decreased with increasing roughness because of the restriction by water.Maximum adhesion forces of increasing roughness were 97.14,42.76,and 17.86 μN measured at interfaces between air bubble and coal surfaces and 169.48,145.84,and 121.02 lN between oil droplet and surfaces,respectively.Decreasing roughness could be beneficial to the spreading of oil droplets and the adhesion of bubbles which is conducive to flotation separation.

Numerical Simulation of Water Droplets Deposition on the Last-Stage Stationary Blade of Steam Turbine

Based on the method of discrete phase, the law of droplets’ deposition in the last stage stationary blade of a supercritical 600 MW Steam Turbine is simulated in the first place of this paper by using the Wet-steam model in commercial software FLUENT, where the influence of inlet angle of water droplets of the stationary blades is also considered. Through the calculation, the relationship between the deposition and the diameter of water droplets is revealed. Then, the amount of droplets deposition in the suction and pressure surface is derived. The result is compared with experimental data and it proves that the numerical simulation result obtained in this paper is reasonable. Finally, a formula of the relationship between the diameter of water droplets and the inlet angle is fit, which could be used for approximate calculation in the engineering applications.

Effect of water droplet in solvent sublation

Aqueous phase layer around bubble and water droplet are two additional processes in solvent sublation. In the dynamic process of mass transfer, they are always neglected, but they are very important in the investigation of thermodynamic equilibrium. In this paper, the effect of water droplet in solvent sublation was discussed in detail, and the previous mathematical model of solvent subaltion was improved. Matlab 6.5 was used to simulate the process of water droplets, and the comparison between the previous hypothesis and the improvement in this paper showed the superiority, especially in the investigation of thermodynamic equilibrium. Moreover, the separation and concentration of the complex compound dithizone-Co（Ⅱ） from aqueous phase to n-octanol by solvent sublation also proved the improved mathematical model was reasonable.

Droplets Turbulence Effect of Gas-Water Separator with Corrugated Plates

Droplet turbulence effect on gas-water separator with corrugated plates is explored using the Eulerian-Lagrangian two-way coupled multiphase approach of FLUENT. It is concluded that the inertial force is dominant in separating large droplets, while droplet turbulence dispersion plays a decisive role in separating fine droplets. Good agreement exists between calculations and air-water experiments. The numerical method developed provides a rea-sonable description of the droplet trajectories and separating efficiency, and it can be applied to predicting the performance of gas-water separator with corrugated plates.

Influence of Electrical Field Distortions Induced by Water Droplets on the Contamination Characteristics of an Insulator

When separated water droplets condense on the surface of a composite insulator,the electrical field on the insulator surface is distorted.In turn,such distortions change the trajectories of pollution particles.In this study,the COMSOL software is used to simulate such a process for the FXBW4-10/100 composite insulator with or without water droplets condensation under a 10 kV DC voltage.The influence of the wind speed and particles concentration on the contamination characteristics of the considered 110 kV insulator is analyzed.The results show that:1)in the presence of water droplets on the insulator surface,the ratio of electrical field force and gravity acting on the particles is large;2)the contamination on the insulator surface increases with the wind speed;3)when the wind speed is small,the relationship between the contamination amount and the pollution concentration is essentially linear.

正极性直流电场对绝缘子雾凇覆冰的影响机理及覆冰试验验证

复杂大气环境下绝缘子覆冰是影响电网安全运行的关键科学问题。与交流相比,直流电场对荷电水滴具有较强的吸附作用,但鲜有研究涉及。基于场致荷电、流体力学和电磁学原理,对两种典型悬式绝缘子开展了电场-流场耦合仿真分析以及自然覆冰试验研究。结果表明,荷电水滴在直流电场中趋向于沿电场线运动,且其轨迹偏移量随着外施电压和水滴直径的增加而增大,而随着风速的增加而减小;直流电场下绝缘子表面产生冰树枝,不同绝缘子表面法向电场分量存在较大差异,进而影响冰树枝的生长特性;随着外施电压的升高,冰树枝逐渐从绝缘子伞裙边缘扩散至其表面,且冰树枝尖端逐渐变钝;带电情况下两种绝缘子覆冰量和覆冰长度大于不带电情况,且增长幅度均超过15%。研究结果对于建立带电绝缘子覆冰增长模型奠定了基础。

Q波段微带到带状线垂直过渡结构

层间垂直过渡结构通常被用来实现组件结构的小型化和高密度设计,在毫米波电路布线中起着不可或缺的作用。本文设计了一种可用于Q波段的微带线到带状线的垂直过渡结构,在微带线的末端采用“水滴”匹配结构,以金属通孔连接传输线的形式进行射频信号的垂直传输。运用三维高频电磁仿真软件(HFSS)建立该结构,并与其他类似结构进行性能仿真比对。优化结果表明,这种结构在42~47 GHz频带范围内,反射系数小于-20 dB,带内插入损耗优于0.3 dB,可以满足工程应用的要求。相比同类型的其他垂直过渡结构,本文结构在减小占用面积的同时保持了良好的传输性能。

PEMFC扩散层中气体组分反应和传递格子Boltzmann模拟

通过格子Boltzmann方法中的多组分Shan-Chen模型对燃料电池气体扩散层与双极板流道特征结构进行模型构建,探究不同孔隙率、压缩比以及积水液滴位置对质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)内气体组分传递的影响。模拟结果发现小孔隙率会造成气体的堵塞,影响传质效率,而气体扩散层的压缩效应导致结构变形进而造成气体在流道进口处的堵塞;压缩导致气体通道变得狭窄,促进氧气接触下部的催化层发生反应,流道附近的反应强度会随着压缩比的增加而增加;当积水液滴位于扩散层中部时,其能够将部分的反应气体引导到催化层处,从而增加反应气体的浓度;而位于底部的液滴会将催化剂覆盖从而阻碍催化反应的进行。

利用AFM探究聚合物和表面活性剂对油滴间稳定性的影响

采用原子力显微镜(AFM)探究水中油滴之间的相互作用,并考察了聚合物聚(4-苯乙烯磺酸钠)(PSS)和阴离子表面活性剂十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)对油滴稳定性的影响。采用分子动力学模拟软件模拟了PSS和SDS在水中的相互作用。结果表明:在不含聚合物和表面活性剂的盐溶液中油滴容易聚并;当水溶液中加入100 mg/L的PSS会使油滴稳定,这主要是由于PSS吸附层提供了空间位阻,有效阻止了油滴之间的聚并作用;然而,100 mg/L PSS和0.1 mM/L SDS共存时会导致油滴再次聚并,这是因为PSS和SDS同时存在时,两者易形成团簇,只有少部分PSS吸附到界面,此时PSS无法形成有效的空间位阻,导致油滴在相互靠近时发生聚并,从而影响了水包油体系的稳定性。

迎风格式在水滴欧拉方程数值求解中的应用

数值模拟是研究飞机结冰的重要手段,为获取水滴撞击特性,通常采用欧拉法求解水滴运动方程。液态水含量在空间分布上存在间断,会导致水滴欧拉方程的求解极易发散;若采用一阶格式,虽然稳定性得到提高,但计算精度难以保证满足工程设计需求;有研究者通过添加扩散项以提升收敛性,但会人为增加数值耗散。针对这一问题,本文采用一阶迎风格式对水滴欧拉方程的对流通量进行离散,并通过线性重构与限制器函数保证计算精度达到二阶,建立一种基于迎风离散格式的水滴欧拉方程二阶求解方法。通过对比NACA0012、NACA23012和NLF0414翼型水滴撞击特性计算结果与FENSAP-ICE软件的结果,验证了该方法的有效性与计算精度。
