The results show that a great deal of coal gas discharges on the top of raceway away from the tuyere, and the residence time of coal particles in the re- gion of blowpipe and tuyere is 20 ms or so and 50 ms when it reaches raceway boundary. The pressure is the highest at the bottom of raceway and the maximal temperature is about 2 423 K. The char combustion is mainly carried out in the raceway and the maximum of char burn-out rate attains 3× 10-4 kg/s.展开更多

The predicted time-averaged and root-mean-square fluctuation velocities behind the particle are in agreement with the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes modeling results and experimental results. A semi-empirical turbulence enhancement model is proposed by the present-authors based on the LES resuits. This model is incorporated into the second-order moment two-phase turbulence model for simulating vertical gas-particle pipe flows and horizontal gas-particle channel flows. The simulation results show that compared with the model not accounting for the particle wake effect, the present model gives simulation results for the gas turbulence modulation in much better agreement with the experimental results.展开更多

The results of the measurements yield the axial and radial time-averaged velocities as well as the fluctuation velocities of gas and three particle-size groups （30μm, 50μm, and 95μm） and the gasparticle velocity correlation for 30μm and 50μm particles. From the measurements, theoretical analysis, and simulation, it is found that the two-phase velocity correlation of sudden-expansion flows, like that of jet flows, is less than the gas and particle Reynolds stresses. What distinguishes the two-phase velocity correlations of sudden-expansion flow from those of jet and channel flows is the absence of a clear relationship between the two-phase velocity correlation and particle size in sudden-expansion flows. The measurements, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulation all lead to the above-stated conclusions. Quantitatively, the results of the LES are better than those of the RANS model.展开更多

The modeling results of Radial Bias Combustion (RBC) burner well agreed with the data from the three-dimensional Phase-Doppler anemometry (PDA) experiment by Li, et al. The modeling test conducted in a 1025 t/h boiler was to study the quality of aerodynamics for a Central Fuel Rich (CFR) burner, and the Internal Recirculation Zone (IRZ) was measured. In addition, gas-particle flows with a CFR burner were investigated by numerical simulation, whose results accorded with the test data fundamentally. By analyzing the distribution of gas velocity and trajectories of particles respectively, it is found that the primary air’s rigidity of CFR burner is stronger than that of RBC burner, and the primary air mixes with the secondary air later. Furthermore, high concentration region of pulverized coal exists in the burner’s central zone whose atmosphere is reduced, and trajectories of particles in IRZ of CFR burner are longer than that of RBC burner. They are favorable to coal’s ignition and the reduction of NOx emission.展开更多

In the new nested-grid GEOS-Chem model, we try to modify the HgⅡ gas-particle partitioning relationship with synchronous and hourly observations at four sites in China. Observations of gaseous oxidized Hg(GOM), particulate-bound Hg(PBM), and PM 2.5 were used to derive an empirical gas-particle partitioning coefficient as a function of temperature( T) and organic aerosol(OA) concentrations under different relative humidity(RH). Results showed that with increasing RH, the dominant process of HgⅡ gas-particle partitioning changed from physical adsorption to chemical desorption. And the dominant factor of HgⅡ gas-particle partitioning changed from T to OA concentrations. We thus improved the simulated OA concentration field by introducing intermediate-volatility and semi-volatile organic compounds(I/SVOCs) emission inventory into the model framework and refining the volatile distributions of I/SVOCs according to new filed tests in the recent literatures. Finally, normalized mean biases(NMBs) of monthly gaseous element mercury(GEM), GOM, PBM, WFLX were reduced from-33%–29%, 95%–300%, 64%–261%, 117%–122% to-13%–0%,-20%–80%,-31%–50%,-17%–23%. The improved model explains 69%–98% of the observed atmospheric Hg decrease during 2013–2020 and can serve as a useful tool to evaluate the effectiveness of the Minamata Convention on Mercury.展开更多

The Discrete Vortex Method (DVM) was employed to evaluate the unsteady gas flow fields and a Lagrangian approach was applied for tracking individual solid particles. The vortex patterns and the distributions of particles with different Stokes numbers were obtained. Numerical results show that: (1) at small Stokes number (St=0.01) the particles move with the fluid and could be found evenly throughout the flow, (2) the regions around the vortex cores, where few particles exist, become wider as the stokes number of particles increases from 0.01 to 1.0, (3) at middle Stokes number (St=1.0, 10) centrifugal forces throw the particles out of the wake vortices, (4) at high Stokes number (St=100, 1000) the particles are not affected by the vortices,and their motion is determined by their inertia effects.展开更多

The mathematical models...The gas-particle flow in the primary air pipe （PAP） of a low NOx swirl burner was investigated using the computational fluid dynamics （CFD） coupled with the discrete element method （DEM）. The mathematical models were validated using the measured values obtained at the outlet of the primary pipe through a phase Doppler anemometer （PDA） system. Particles of different Stokes numbers in the primary air pipe （PAP） were investigated, and the effects of the structure of the primary air pipe and the particle-particle interaction on particle dispersion were analyzed. The results indicate that particles under the combined effects of the Venturi pipe and the spindle body are concentrated into a narrow band area and that the PAP structure can more efficiently concentrate particles with large Stokes numbers. The formed fuel rich/lean jet persists for a long distance out of the burner, thereby favoring of air-staged combustion and NOx reduction. The particle collision frequency and its fluctuation range increase as the particle Stokes number increases. The collisions among particles result in an increase of the spanwise dispersion of particles. Experimental results indicate that the models that take particle-particle collision into consideration are more able to predict particle concentration.展开更多

The simulation results were in agreement with the experimental results, and the results were compared with those of the single-scale second-order moment two-phase turbulence model. Several improved features show that the two-scale model is to a certain extent better than the single-scale model, which may be attributed to the fact that particle turbulence is well characterized by the two-scale turbulence model.展开更多

In the model, the solid particles move in a modified acceleration field, g′′ , which includes the effects of various forces on the particles as if all the forces have the same effect on the particles as the gravity. The accelerations due to various forces are then taken into account in the calcula- tion of the diffusion velocities of the solid particles in the gas-particle two-phase flow. The DFM was used to numerically simulate the gas-solid two-phase flow behind a vertical backward-facing step. The numerical simulation compared well with experimental data and numerical results using both the k-ε-Ap and k-ε-kp two- fluid models available in the literature. The comparison shows that the modified diffusion flux model correctly simulates the turbulent gas-particle two-phase flow.展开更多

Present two-phase turbulence models for two-fluid modeling are isotropic. However, turbulence in actual gas-particle flows is not isotropic. Moreover, in these models the two-phase velocity correlation is closed using dimensional analysis, leading to discrepancies between the numerical results, theoretical analysis and experiments. To rectify this problem, some two-phase turbulence models were proposed by the authors and are applied to simulate dense gas-particle flows in downers, risers, and horizontal channels; Experimental results validate the simulation results. Among these models the USM-O and the two-scale USM models are shown to give a better account of both anisotropic particle turbulence and particle-particle collision using the transport equation model for the two-phase velocity correlation.展开更多

文摘In this paper the present authors measured the gas-particle two-phase velocity correlation in sudden expansion gas-particle flows with a phase Doppler particle anemometer （PDPA） and simulated the system behavior by using both a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes （RANS） model and a large-eddy simulation （LES）. The results of the measurements yield the axial and radial time-averaged velocities as well as the fluctuation velocities of gas and three particle-size groups （30μm, 50μm, and 95μm） and the gasparticle velocity correlation for 30μm and 50μm particles. From the measurements, theoretical analysis, and simulation, it is found that the two-phase velocity correlation of sudden-expansion flows, like that of jet flows, is less than the gas and particle Reynolds stresses.

By analyzing the distribution of gas velocity and trajectories of particles respectively, it is found that the primary air’s rigidity of CFR burner is stronger than that of RBC burner, and the primary air mixes with the secondary air later. Furthermore, high concentration region of pulverized coal exists in the burner’s central zone whose atmosphere is reduced, and trajectories of particles in IRZ of CFR burner are longer than that of RBC burner. They are favorable to coal’s ignition and the reduction of NOx emission.

文摘The gaseous or particulate forms of divalent mercury(HgⅡ) significantly impact the spatial distribution of atmospheric mercury concentration and deposition flux(FLX). In the new nested-grid GEOS-Chem model, we try to modify the HgⅡ gas-particle partitioning relationship with synchronous and hourly observations at four sites in China. Observations of gaseous oxidized Hg(GOM), particulate-bound Hg(PBM), and PM 2.5 were used to derive an empirical gas-particle partitioning coefficient as a function of temperature( T) and organic aerosol(OA) concentrations under different relative humidity(RH). Results showed that with increasing RH, the dominant process of HgⅡ gas-particle partitioning changed from physical adsorption to chemical desorption. And the dominant factor of HgⅡ gas-particle partitioning changed from T to OA concentrations. We thus improved the simulated OA concentration field by introducing intermediate-volatility and semi-volatile organic compounds(I/SVOCs) emission inventory into the model framework and refining the volatile distributions of I/SVOCs according to new filed tests in the recent literatures. Finally, normalized mean biases(NMBs) of monthly gaseous element mercury(GEM), GOM, PBM, WFLX were reduced from-33%–29%, 95%–300%, 64%–261%, 117%–122% to-13%–0%,-20%–80%,-31%–50%,-17%–23%. The improved model explains 69%–98% of the observed atmospheric Hg decrease during 2013–2020 and can serve as a useful tool to evaluate the effectiveness of the Minamata Convention on Mercury.

文摘The interaction between nozzle design and fluidization gas composition significantly influences the dynamics within a powder fuel scramjet's combustion chamber.To investigate this relationship,an experimental study utilized high-speed shadow imaging technology to explore the macroscopic aspects of powder fuel injection.The investigation examined various convergence angles,nozzle throat lengths,and fluidized gas compositions.Key findings include:During jet development,powder fuel initially concentrates near the axis,with non-convergence angle nozzles exhibiting longer concentrated distribution periods than convergence angle conditions.Decreasing nozzle convergence angles lead to increased penetration distance,frontal velocity,and radial diffusion distance during the initial stages of jet development.Additionally,stable jet shapes show larger divergence angles as nozzle convergence angle decreases,with the largest divergence angle observed atα=60°.In the initial 0-7 ms of jet development,the powder fuel jet demonstrates greater penetration distance and frontal velocity under certain conditions.Moreover,penetration distance and frontal velocity increase with throat length from 7 to 20 ms,accompanied by changes in divergence angles.Specifically,at a throat length(l)of 2 mm,the near-field divergence angle measures 46.50°,and the far-field divergence angle is 22.25°.Conversely,at l=8mm,the near-field divergence angle is 33.49°,and the far-field divergence angle is 23.21°.The fluidization gas composition minimally affects jet penetration distance and frontal velocity during the initial 0-3 ms.However,due to hydrogen's low density,hydrogen/powder fuel jets exhibit shorter distances and velocities compared to nitrogen/powder fuel jets.Hydrogen fluidization also results in larger divergence angles,particularly in the near field.These findings underscore the importance of nozzle design and fluidization gas composition in optimizing scramjet performance and efficiency.

文摘Sub-grid effective drag,filtered and residual stresses in the meso-scale of gas-particle fluidized flows are intrinsically affected by underlying micro-scale conditions as well as non-local effects related to macro-scale conditions.In this work we applied microscopic two-fluid modeling to experiment with particle Froude number in order to evaluate the impact of this micro-scale condition over the concerning meso-scale derived sub-grid parameters.We performed highly resolved simulations in periodic domains for particle Froude numbers from 12.21 to 799.22,for a wide range of macro-scale conditions.Results were filtered and classified by ranges of meso-scale markers for the various particle Froude numbers.The particle Froude number was found to considerably affect the structural refinement of the heterogeneous flow fields thereby directly impacting effective drag,filtered and residual stresses.All of those parameters showed systematic behaviors in relation to particle Froude number,thereby providing sound data for new sub-grid modeling propositions.
文摘Based on a kinetic energy equation of particle turbulence, a k-ε-kk model for turbulent gas-particle flows is proposed. The prediction of confined plane gas-particle jets shows a good agreement with experimental data. This model is proved to be far superior to the presently used k-ε-A.P. model based on the algebraic model of particle turbulence.
文摘Particle-laden gas flows past a circular cylinder at the Reynolds number of 2×10^(5) were numerically investigated. The Discrete Vortex Method (DVM) was employed to evaluate the unsteady gas flow fields and a Lagrangian approach was applied for tracking individual solid particles. The vortex patterns and the distributions of particles with different Stokes numbers were obtained. Numerical results show that: (1) at small Stokes number (St=0.01) the particles move with the fluid and could be found evenly throughout the flow, (2) the regions around the vortex cores, where few particles exist, become wider as the stokes number of particles increases from 0.01 to 1.0, (3) at middle Stokes number (St=1.0, 10) centrifugal forces throw the particles out of the wake vortices, (4) at high Stokes number (St=100, 1000) the particles are not affected by the vortices,and their motion is determined by their inertia effects.

文摘The gas-particle flow in the primary air pipe （PAP） of a low NOx swirl burner was investigated using the computational fluid dynamics （CFD） coupled with the discrete element method （DEM）. The mathematical models were validated using the measured values obtained at the outlet of the primary pipe through a phase Doppler anemometer （PDA） system. Particles of different Stokes numbers in the primary air pipe （PAP） were investigated, and the effects of the structure of the primary air pipe and the particle-particle interaction on particle dispersion were analyzed. The results indicate that particles under the combined effects of the Venturi pipe and the spindle body are concentrated into a narrow band area and that the PAP structure can more efficiently concentrate particles with large Stokes numbers. The formed fuel rich/lean jet persists for a long distance out of the burner, thereby favoring of air-staged combustion and NOx reduction. The particle collision frequency and its fluctuation range increase as the particle Stokes number increases. The collisions among particles result in an increase of the spanwise dispersion of particles. Experimental results indicate that the models that take particle-particle collision into consideration are more able to predict particle concentration.

文摘A two-scale second-order moment two-phase turbulence model was developed and used to simulate gas-particle flow in a sudden-expansion chamber and a channel. The simulation results were in agreement with the experimental results, and the results were compared with those of the single-scale second-order moment two-phase turbulence model. Several improved features show that the two-scale model is to a certain extent better than the single-scale model, which may be attributed to the fact that particle turbulence is well characterized by the two-scale turbulence model.
文摘The gas and particle time-averaged velocity rand RMS fluctuation velocity of swirling gas-particle flows in a spouting-cyclone combustor were measured by a hot-ball probe and a conventional LDV system. The results show large velocity slip between the two phases both in tangential and axial directions and high nonisotropic turbulence of the two phases were also observed which is favorable to coal combustion. The particle RMS fluctuation velocity is higher than the gas RMS fluctuation velocity only in some regions of the flow field.

文摘A modified diffusion flux model (DFM) was developed to analyze turbulent multi-dimensional gas-particle two-phase flows. In the model, the solid particles move in a modified acceleration field, g′′ , which includes the effects of various forces on the particles as if all the forces have the same effect on the particles as the gravity. The accelerations due to various forces are then taken into account in the calcula- tion of the diffusion velocities of the solid particles in the gas-particle two-phase flow. The DFM was used to numerically simulate the gas-solid two-phase flow behind a vertical backward-facing step. The numerical simulation compared well with experimental data and numerical results using both the k-ε-Ap and k-ε-kp two- fluid models available in the literature. The comparison shows that the modified diffusion flux model correctly simulates the turbulent gas-particle two-phase flow.

文摘The two-fluid model is widely adopted in simulations of dense gas-particle flows in engineering facili- ties. Present two-phase turbulence models for two-fluid modeling are isotropic. However, turbulence in actual gas-particle flows is not isotropic. Moreover, in these models the two-phase velocity correlation is closed using dimensional analysis, leading to discrepancies between the numerical results, theoretical analysis and experiments. To rectify this problem, some two-phase turbulence models were proposed by the authors and are applied to simulate dense gas-particle flows in downers, risers, and horizontal channels; Experimental results validate the simulation results. Among these models the USM-O and the two-scale USM models are shown to give a better account of both anisotropic particle turbulence and particle-particle collision using the transport equation model for the two-phase velocity correlation.
