Comparison of predicted gas velocity and temperature distributions with experimental results for the cases without liquid spray shows pretty good agreement. Gas-droplet two-phase flow predictions give plausible droplet trajectories, fuel-vapor concentration distribution, gas-phase velocity and temperature field in presence of liquid droplets. One run of computation with this method is made for a particular afterburner. The results indicate that the location of the atomizers is not favorable to flame stabilization and combustion efficiency. The proposed numerical modeling can also be adopted for optimization design and performance evaluation of afterburner combustors of turbo-fan jet engines.展开更多

The characteristics of powders prepared by common gas atomization and dual-phase flow atomization under similar conditions were compared. The experimental results show that the dual-phase flow-atomized powders have average particle sizes that are one-half that of the common gas-atomized particles;additionally, they possess a finer microstructure and higher cooling rate under the same atomization gas pressure and the same gas flow. The Weber number in the crash criteria of liquid atomization is adopted to measure the crash ability of the atomization media. The Weber number of the dual-phase flow atomization medium is the sum of that of the gas and the solid particles. Furthermore, the critical equation of the crash model in dual-phase flow atomization is established, and the main regularities associated with this process were analyzed.展开更多

The influences of the coefficient of restitution due to non-ideal particle collisions on the simulated results were tested. It is demonstrated that the simulated result is strongly affected by the coefficient of restitution. Comparison of simulations with experiments in a small spout-fluid bed showed that an appropriate coefficient of restitution of 0.93 was necessary to simulate the flow characteristics in an underdesigned large size of spout-fluid bed coal gasifier with diameter of lm and height of 6m. The internal jet and gas/solid flow patterns at different operating conditions were obtained. The simulations show that an optimal gas/solid flow pattern for coal gasification is found when the spouting gas flow rate is equal to the fluidizing gas flow rate and the total of them is two and a half times the minimum fluidizing gas flow rate. Besides, the radial distributions of particle velocity and gas velocity show similar tendencies; the radial distributions of particle phase pressure due to particle collisions and the particle pseudo-temperature corresponding to the macroscopic kinetic energy of the random particle motion also show similar tendencies. These indicate that both gas drag force and particle collisions dominate the movement of particles.展开更多

The mathematical models for both gas column pressure and two-phase fluid column pressure were developed based on the well liquid flow equation. FBHPs during the production were predicted by considering the effect of entrained liquid on gravitational gradients. Comparison of calculated BHPs by Cullender-Smith and proposed method was also studied. The results show that the proposed algorithm gives the desired accuracy of calculating BHPs in the low- productivity and low-pressure CBM wells. FBHP is resulted from the combined action of wellhead pressure, gas column pressure and fluid column pressure. Variation of kinetic energy term, compressibility and friction factors with depth increments and liquid holdup with velocity should be considered to simulate the real BHPs adequately. BHP is a function of depth of each column segment. The small errors of less than 1.5% between the calculated and measured values are obtained with each segment within 25 m. Adjusting BHPs can effectively increase production pressure drop, which is beneficial to CBM desorption and enhances reservoir productivity. The increment of pressure drop from 5.37 MPa2 to 8.66 MPa2 leads to an increase of CBM production from 3270 m3/d to 6700 m3/d and is attributed to a decrease in BHP from 2.25 MPa to 1.33 MPa.展开更多

The separation efficiency and pressure drop are the most important parameters to evaluate the performance of processing system. In the simulations,the flow behavior of gas and particles within a square cyclone separator is simulated by means of computational fluid dynamics. The RNG k- ε model and the Reynolds stress model( RSM) are used to model gas turbulence. The flow behavior is examined in the term of tangential velocity components,static pressure and pressure drop contour plots for flow field and solid volume fraction. The effects of the turbulence model and solid volume fraction on the square cyclone are discussed. The results indicate that the pressure drop increases with the increase of solid volume fraction,and increase with the increase of inlet velocities for two turbulence models, moreover,the simulations results are compared with pressure field. For all runs,the RSM model gives a higher pressure drop compared to the RNG k- ε model. The RSM model provides well the forced vortex and free vortex,and captures better the phenomena occurring during intense vortex flow in the presence of walls within cyclone separators.展开更多

However,the body force periodic boundary condition(FPBC) commonly used to cut down the huge computational cost of such simulation has faced accuracy concerns. In this study, a novel two-region periodic boundary condition(TPBC) is presented to remedy this problem, with the flow driven in the region with body force and freely evolving in the other region. With simulation cases for simple circulating fluidized bed risers, the validity and advantages of TPBC are demonstrated with more reasonable heterogeneity of the particle distribution as compared to the corresponding case with FPBC.展开更多

文摘A three-dimensional Eulerian multiphase model, with closure law according to the kinetic theory of granular flow, was used to study the gas/solid flow behaviors in spout-fluid beds. The influences of the coefficient of restitution due to non-ideal particle collisions on the simulated results were tested. It is demonstrated that the simulated result is strongly affected by the coefficient of restitution. Comparison of simulations with experiments in a small spout-fluid bed showed that an appropriate coefficient of restitution of 0.93 was necessary to simulate the flow characteristics in an underdesigned large size of spout-fluid bed coal gasifier with diameter of lm and height of 6m.

The simulations show that an optimal gas/solid flow pattern for coal gasification is found when the spouting gas flow rate is equal to the fluidizing gas flow rate and the total of them is two and a half times the minimum fluidizing gas flow rate. Besides, the radial distributions of particle velocity and gas velocity show similar tendencies; the radial distributions of particle phase pressure due to particle collisions and the particle pseudo-temperature corresponding to the macroscopic kinetic energy of the random particle motion also show similar tendencies. These indicate that both gas drag force and particle collisions dominate the movement of particles.

文摘A method is proposed to predict the flowing bottomhole pressures （FBHPs） for two-phase coalbed methane （CBM） wells. The mathematical models for both gas column pressure and two-phase fluid column pressure were developed based on the well liquid flow equation. FBHPs during the production were predicted by considering the effect of entrained liquid on gravitational gradients. Comparison of calculated BHPs by Cullender-Smith and proposed method was also studied. The results show that the proposed algorithm gives the desired accuracy of calculating BHPs in the low- productivity and low-pressure CBM wells. FBHP is resulted from the combined action of wellhead pressure, gas column pressure and fluid column pressure. Variation of kinetic energy term, compressibility and friction factors with depth increments and liquid holdup with velocity should be considered to simulate the real BHPs adequately. BHP is a function of depth of each column segment. The small errors of less than 1.5% between the calculated and measured values are obtained with each segment within 25 m. Adjusting BHPs can effectively increase production pressure drop, which is beneficial to CBM desorption and enhances reservoir productivity. The increment of pressure drop from 5.37 MPa2 to 8.66 MPa2 leads to an increase of CBM production from 3270 m3/d to 6700 m3/d and is attributed to a decrease in BHP from 2.25 MPa to 1.33 MPa.

The RNG k- ε model and the Reynolds stress model( RSM) are used to model gas turbulence. The flow behavior is examined in the term of tangential velocity components,static pressure and pressure drop contour plots for flow field and solid volume fraction. The effects of the turbulence model and solid volume fraction on the square cyclone are discussed. The results indicate that the pressure drop increases with the increase of solid volume fraction,and increase with the increase of inlet velocities for two turbulence models, moreover,the simulations results are compared with pressure field. For all runs,the RSM model gives a higher pressure drop compared to the RNG k- ε model. The RSM model provides well the forced vortex and free vortex,and captures better the phenomena occurring during intense vortex flow in the presence of walls within cyclone separators.

文摘Direct numerical simulation(DNS) of gas–solid flow at high resolution has been carried out by coupling the lattice Boltzmann method(LBM) for gas flow and the discrete element method(DEM) for solid particles. However,the body force periodic boundary condition(FPBC) commonly used to cut down the huge computational cost of such simulation has faced accuracy concerns. In this study, a novel two-region periodic boundary condition(TPBC) is presented to remedy this problem, with the flow driven in the region with body force and freely evolving in the other region. With simulation cases for simple circulating fluidized bed risers, the validity and advantages of TPBC are demonstrated with more reasonable heterogeneity of the particle distribution as compared to the corresponding case with FPBC.

文摘Gas well deliverability evaluation and analysis are challenging due to the frequent abnormalities of deliverability test data of gas condensate wells caused by seepage of oil and gas phases in the reservoirs.To this end,based upon the pseudo-single-phase seepage equation and the oilegas two-phase seepage equation,a new deliverability evaluation method was established which is applicable to the following two cases when the flow of a gas well reaches the quasi-steady stage,i.e.,the pseudo-single-phase stable point deliverability evaluation for the case when the formation pressure is above the dew pressure;the gaseliquid two-phase stable point deliverability evaluation for the case when the formation pressure is below the dew pressure.Using this established deliverability evaluation method,based on the basic parameters of the Yaha gas field,Tarim Basin,the IPR curves were first obtained of gas wells do not get this at the same production gaseoil ratio and at the formation pressure above and below the dew point pressure;then,according to the four condensate gas fields,such as Yaha,Tazhong I,Qianmiqiao and Dina 2,the absolute open flow(AOF)potentials of condensate gas wells under different gaseoil production ratios were calculated.Finally,through statistical analysis of the calculation results from typical wells,the following findings were obtained.This new deliverability evaluation method under the two states of condensate gas wells with quasi-single-phase and gaseliquid two-phase stable points can be used to avoid cases due to the oilegas flow in a condensate gas well which has remained unresolved by the classical deliverability evaluation methods.Also,with the increase of gaseoil ratios in gas condensate wells,a variable discrepancy is gradually reduced in AOF potentials calculated respectively by the quasi-single-phase and gaseliquid two-phase stable point deliverability evaluation equations.For the condensate gas wells with high condensate content and low condensate gas production rates,the AOF potentials calculated by the gaseliquid two-phase stable point deliverability equation is more appropriate and reliable compared with that obtained by classical methods.
文摘A new method for measuring the solid flow rate in gas solid two phase flow is introduced in this paper. An electrically heated probe was put in a gas solid two phase flow. For certain solid particles, the flow media with different velocities and concentrations of particles produced different effects on heat transfer with the probe. The solid flow rate can be measured according to the intensity of heat transfer. Experiments were made on a pilot pneumatic conveying device. Research results prove that the method works effectively and reliably.

文摘In the core process of fractured marine gas hydrate(hereinafter referred to as hydrate)particles being transported up to the surface platform by airtight pipeline in the solid fluidization exploitation of marine gas hydrate reservoirs,influenced by the rising temperature and the dropping pressure,the solid hydrates will decompose and produce a large amount of gas at a certain critical point,causing the liquidesolid two-phase flow in the wellbore to change into complicated gaseliquidesolid multiphase non-equilibrium flow,which further aggravate well control,solid phase transportation and other safety risks.In view of this,the dynamic hydrate decomposition law in the above process was studied in this paper by establishing multiphase wellbore flow mathematical models of wellbore temperature and pressure field,hydrate phase equilibrium,hydrate dynamic decomposition in multiphase riser pipe flow,wellbore multiphase flow coupled hydrate dynamic decomposition,and a numerical calculation method was proposed and verified.The following results were obtained.First,by numerical model analysis,the effects of liquid phase displacement,solid throughput(daily gas production rate)and wellhead back pressure under different construction parameters on multi-phase non-equilibrium pipe flow were obtained.In addition,the field construction guidance measures were put forward based on multiphase non-equilibrium pipe flow characteristics as follows:to properly increase the solid throughput so as to increase the natural gas production,to appropriately increase the liquid-phase displacement and the wellhead back pressure so as to ensure well control safety.This study provides not only a theoretical basis for the prediction of multiphase non-equilibrium pipe flow in the solid fluidization exploitation,but a technical support for the field construction parameter optimization and well control safety.
文摘Pneumatic conveying technology,as an efficient material transportation method,has been widely used in various industrial fields.To study the powder transportation in horizontal ash conveying pipes,this study relies on the Computational Particle Fluid Dynamics(CPFD)numerical method.The characteristics of the gas-solid two-phase flow under continuous air supply conditions are analyzed,and the effects on particle movement of factors such as feed port spacing,inlet air velocity,and the number of discharge ports are explored accordingly.The research results show that when the inlet velocity is 5 m/s,adjacent discharged particles come into contact after 8 s.As the inlet air velocity increases,the contact time between adjacent discharge ports is shortened.When the feed port spacing increases from 0.5 to 2 m,the dust accumulation thickness decreases by about 0.6 times.Additionally,when the spacing reaches a certain value,the rate of decrease in dust accumulation thickness begins to diminish.
文摘Based on the new viewpoint of solid and gas interaction mechanics, gas leakage in a double deformable coal seam can be understood. That is, under the action of geophysical fields, the methane flow in a double deformable coal seam can be essentially considered to be compressible with time dependent and mixed permeation and diffusion through a pore cleat deformable heterogeneous and anisotropy medium. Based on this new viewpoint, a coupled mathematical model for coal seam deformation and gas leakage in a double coal seam was formulated and numerical simulations for gas emission from the coal seam are presented. It is found that coupled models might be closer to reality.
