摘要
This article investigates the role of the specularity coefficient(φ,the extent of the energy dissipation due to particle-wall collisions),inter-particle restitution coefficient(e_(pp),the extent of the energy dissipation due to inter-particle collisions),and four combinations of these variables on the hydrodynamics,and the pressure recovery of the dilute gas-solid suspension in a diffuser.The investigation applies the two-fluid modeling approach along with the kinetic theory of the granular flow.The present investigation’s findings indicate that an increase inφor a reduction in e_(pp) reduces the pressure recovery by weakening the reverse momentum transfer phenomenon,which is recognized as the primary means for the pressure recovery.Besides,in a gas-solid flow system,a higherφor smaller e_(pp) enhances the particles’trapping in the recirculation zone.The recirculation zone’s strength and size increase asφincreases or e_(pp) reduces.Moreover,an increase in the wall-particle and inter-particle interactions strengthens the sidewise displacement of the particles.The effect of the wall-particle and inter-particle interactions are insignificant for extremely small solid loading.
