Cold-state Experimental Study on Flow Characteristics of Multi-nozzle in Natural Gas Reburning Burner

Based on the prototypes of a 130 t/h boiler, constant proportional cold-state test bench is established, flow characteristics of multi-nozzle in natural gas reburning burner and its influence on the covering effect for the upflow in the furnace are researched. Numerical simulations of this process are also made with standard ?turbulence model. The results show that air flow fullness in furnace is better in the case of the reburning zone with 8 nozzles compared to 4 nozzles and also coverage effect of the reburning flow for the updraft gas in the furnace is better. In the condition each nozzle airflow velocity is constant, the effect of reburning flow on coverage of up-secondary air is best when the incident angle for four corners is 14.17?, while Center of the furnace wall is 84.57. And while the best incident angle is invariable, the effect of reburning flow on coverage of up-secondary air is best when the speed of reburning gas in the corners of furnace is 51 m/s, the same to the center of the furnace wall’s.

Computational fluid dynamics modeling of rapid pyrolysis of solid waste magnesium nitrate hydrate under different injection methods

This study developed a numerical model to efficiently treat solid waste magnesium nitrate hydrate through multi-step chemical reactions.The model simulates two-phase flow,heat,and mass transfer processes in a pyrolysis furnace to improve the decomposition rate of magnesium nitrate.The performance of multi-nozzle and single-nozzle injection methods was evaluated,and the effects of primary and secondary nozzle flow ratios,velocity ratios,and secondary nozzle inclination angles on the decomposition rate were investigated.Results indicate that multi-nozzle injection has a higher conversion efficiency and decomposition rate than single-nozzle injection,with a 10.3%higher conversion rate under the design parameters.The decomposition rate is primarily dependent on the average residence time of particles,which can be increased by decreasing flow rate and velocity ratios and increasing the inclination angle of secondary nozzles.The optimal parameters are injection flow ratio of 40%,injection velocity ratio of 0.6,and secondary nozzle inclination of 30°,corresponding to a maximum decomposition rate of 99.33%.

Re-entry rocket basic flow characteristics and thermal environment of different retro-propulsion modes

During the supersonic re-entry of multi-nozzle heavy rockets into the atmosphere,the basic flow state becomes increasingly complex due to the coupling effect between the retropropulsion plumes and the freestream.A numerical method using the hybrid Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes and Large Eddy Simulation(RES)method and discrete coordinate method is developed to accurately estimate the thermal environment.In addition,finite rate chemical kinetics is used to calculate the afterburning reactions.The numerical results agree well with wind tunnel data,which confirms the validity and accuracy of the numerical method.Computations are conducted for the heavy carrier rocket re-entry from 53.1 km to 39.5 km altitude with 180°angle of attack by using three different Supersonic Retro-Propulsion(SRP)modes.The numerical results reveal that these three SRP flow fields are all Short Penetration Models(SPM).As the re-entry altitudes decrease,both the plume-plume interaction and the plume-freestream interaction become weaker.The highest temperatures in the plume shear layers of the three SRP modes increase by 8.36%,7.33%and 6.92%respectively after considering afterburning reactions,and all occur at a reentry altitude of 39.5 km.As the rocket re-enters the atmosphere,the maximum heat flux on the rocket base plate of three SRP modes stabilizes at 290,170 and 200 kW/m^(2) respectively,but the maximum heat flux on the side wall increases significantly.When the altitude declines to 39.5 km,the extreme heat flux of the three modes increase by 84.16%,49.45%and 62.97%respectively compared to that at 53.1 km.

Ferrosilicon alloy granules prepared through centrifugal granulation process

A novel granulation process that involved the use of a rotary multi-nozzles cup atomizer and water cooling was proposed for ferroalloy manufacturing.The effects of rotating speed and nozzle diameter on the properties of FeSi75 alloy(containing 75 wt.%Si)granules were investigated.Results indicated that median granule diameter decreased as rotating speed in creased,and initially increased and then decreased as nozzle diameter in creased.The optimal conditi ons for the gra nulation of FeSi75 alloy were a rotating speed of 150 r/min and nozzle diameter of 10 or 12 mm.The phase composition,micromorphology,and elemental distribution of the FeSi75 alloy granules were also studied by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry.In order to provide guidance for the layout and water depth of the tank,the solidification behavior of ferrosilicon alloy droplet was numerically studied.A simplified model was established to elucidate the traveling trajectory and heat transfer of alloy droplet in air and cooling water during the atomization process.The solidification time of droplet with different thicknesses of solidification layer increased with the in crease in alloy droplet diameter.
