Abstract
To investigate the principles, mechanisms, and efficient methods of rock breaking using pulsed water jet, a frequency-adjustable prefabricated pulsed water jet nozzle was developed. The nozzle primarily consists of an upstream nozzle, sub-chambers and downstream nozzle. During the rock breaking process, the chamber length can be altered by changing the number of sub-chambers, thereby achieving the objective of modifying the pulsed frequency according to the geological characteristics. Using this device, experiments were conducted to calibrate the pulsed water jet frequency and assess its rock breaking performance, which was compared with that of continuous water jet. The results indicate that the pulsed water jet frequency can be effectively controlled by varying the number of sub-chambers, leading to a significant enhancement in the erosion effect compared to continuous water jet. This device is significant for advancing research on efficient rock breaking using pulsed water jet and the combined method of pulsed jet and mechanical techniques.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
