To distinguish the atomization mechanism of single-fuid and dual-fuid nozzles and improve dust control efciency at the coal mining faces, the atomization characteristics and dust reduction performance of the two nozzles were quantitatively compared. Results of experiments show that, as water supply pressure increased, the atomization angle of the swirl pressure nozzle reaches a maximum of 62° at 6 MPa and then decreases, but its droplet size shows an opposite trend with a minimum of 41.7 μm. The water supply pressure helps to improve the droplet size and the atomization angle of the internal mixing air–liquid nozzle, while the air supply pressure has a suppressive efect for them. When the water supply pressure is 0.2 MPa and the air supply pressure reaches 0.4 MPa, the nozzle obtains the smallest droplet size which is 10% smaller than the swirl pressure nozzle. Combined with the dust reduction experimental results, when the water consumption at the working surface is not limited, using the swirl pressure nozzle will achieve a better dust reduction efect. However, the internal mixing air–liquid nozzle can achieve better and more economical dust reduction performance in working environments where water consumption is limited.展开更多

Noting the preservation of analyticity for Ricci and Einstein tensors, special new theorems are formulated for General Relativity representing spacetime field via superpositions of flexible finite “solitonic atoms” resembling quanta. The novel Atomic Spacetime model correlates with A. Einstein’s 1933 paper predicting a new “atomic theory”. The theorems can be applied to many theories of mathematical physics, elasticity, hydrodynamics, soliton, and field theories for unified representation of fields via series over finite Atomic AString Functions which may offer a unified theory under research where fields are connected with a common mathematical ancestor.展开更多
