Abstract
This research presents the experimental data on the influence of stabilizing additives on deformation and fragmentation behavior of waste-derived slurry droplets during their interaction with an air jet. The average radii and number of child droplets formed as a result of droplet breakup were recorded. The influence of the air jet velocity and the diameter of the parent droplet on the average radius and the number of secondary droplets was determined. The experiments demonstrated a dynamic change in the number and average radii of secondary droplets for different relative velocities of the parent slurry droplets. When adding a stabilizing additive to coal-water slurry, the number of secondary droplets decreased several times. Experimental data were analyzed using dimensionless criteria and deriving equations to predict the breakup characteristics of droplets of stabilized fuels over a wide range of air jet velocity. Maps of modes of droplet deformation and breakup were developed, plotted in coordinate systems using Weber, Reynolds, Ohnesorge and capillarity numbers.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
