Swirl cup, as an air blast atomizer, is widely used to provide a uniform presentation of fuel droplets to the combustor dome. This paper investigated the effect of secondary swirler on the flow field down- stream of the swirl cup using particle image velocimetry （PIV）. Three swirl cups＇ non-reacting flow field were studied： case A, B and C with secondary swirler vane angle 53°, 60° and 68° respectively. Detailed mean and transient velocities and vorticity in the center plane were obtained. From the PIV results, a sharp contrast flow field was obtained for case A to other two cases due to the lower secondary swirling intensity. The recirculation zone is collapsed in disorder for the case A. Ignition tests of the three cups were completed in a single cup com- bustor. In general, the ignition performance increases with the increasing of the secondary swirling intensity. For case A, the ignition performance is very unstable and has much randomness and there is no clear lean ignition boundary can be generated. This work can further understand the swirl behavior and ignition mechanism.展开更多

The HVOF gun in the present analysis is an axisymmetric convergent-divergent nozzle with the design Mach number of 2.0 followed by a straight passage called barrel. In the present analysis it is assumed that the influence of the particles injected in the gas flow is neglected, and the interaction between the particles is also neglected. The gas flow in the gun is assumed to be quasi-one-dimensional adiabatic flow. The velocity, temperature and density of gas in the jet discharged from the barrel exit are predicted by solving Navier-Stokes equations numerically. The particle equation of motion is numerically integrated using three-step Runge-Kutta method. The drag coefficient of the particle is calculated by linear interpolation of the experimental data obtained in the past. Particle mean temperature is calculated by using Ranz and Marchalls' correlation for spherical particles. From the present analysis, the distributions of velocity and temperature of the coating particles flying inside and outside the HVOF gun are predicted.展开更多

The compression work is a strong fimction of the ambient air temperature. This increase in compression work presents a significant problem to utilities, generators and power producers when electric demands are high during the hot months. In many petrochemical process industries and gas turbine engines, the in- crease in compression work curtails plant output, demanding more electric power to drive the system. One way to counter this problem is to directly cool the inlet air. Inlet fogging is a popular means of cooling the inlet air to air compressors. In the present study, experiments have been performed to investigate the suitability of two-fluid nozzle for inlet fogging. Compressed air is used as the driving working gas for two-fluid nozzle and water at am- bient conditions is dragged into the high-speed air jet, thus enabling the entrained water to be atomized in a very short distance from the exit of the two-fluid nozzle. The air supply pressure is varied between 2.0 and 5.0 bar and the water flow rate entrained is measured. The flow visualization and temperature and relative humidity measurements are carried out to specify the fogging characteristics of the two-fluid nozzle.展开更多
