Abstract

Hydrodynamic cavitation offers a promising technological platform for diverse industrial applications, including water treatment and chemical process intensification, and holds significant potential for widespread adoption in future advanced processing systems. This study investigates the disinfection efficacy of a novel Cylindrical Rotational Hydrodynamic Cavitation Reactor (CRHCR) and elucidates the underlying mechanism of Escherichia coli (E. coli) inactivation induced by hydrodynamic cavitation. Microscopic analysis of E. coli post-treatment revealed that the intense mechanical shear forces produced by collapsing bubbles are primarily responsible for bacterial inactivation. In addition, the influence of key geometric parameters of the cavitation generation unit on the hydrodynamic performance of the CRHCR was systematically examined. The results demonstrate that rectangular grooves exhibit superior cavitation performance compared to trapezoidal and triangular configurations. An increase in groove width and number correlates positively with enhanced cavitation intensity. In contrast, changes in groove depth, oblique tooth angle, and groove angle exhibit a non-linear trend, with cavitation performance initially increasing with as these parameters rise, followed by a decline once optimal thresholds are exceeded. Optimal cavitation performance was attained with a groove depth of 2 mm, an oblique tooth angle of 68°, and a groove angle of 5°. The observed variation in cavitation efficiency across different CRHCR configurations is attributed to the distinct geometries of the cavitation generation units, which modulate the distribution of low-pressure zones. These findings provide valuable insights into the structural design, theoretical understanding, and practical application of advanced hydrodynamic cavitation systems.
圆柱形旋转流体动力空化反应器消毒与空化性能评价:空化产生装置关键几何参数的影响
水动力空化为各种工业应用提供了一个有前途的技术平台,包括水处理和化学过程强化,并在未来的先进处理系统中具有广泛采用的巨大潜力。本研究考察了一种新型圆柱旋转流体动力空化反应器(CRHCR)的消毒效果,并阐明了流体动力空化诱导大肠杆菌(E. coli)灭活的潜在机制。大肠杆菌处理后的显微分析表明,气泡坍塌产生的强烈机械剪切力是导致细菌失活的主要原因。此外,系统研究了空化产生装置的关键几何参数对CRHCR水动力性能的影响。结果表明,矩形槽的空化性能优于梯形槽和三角形槽。槽宽和槽数的增加与空化强度的增强呈正相关。相反,槽深、斜齿角和槽角的变化呈非线性趋势,随着这些参数的增加,空化性能开始增加,超过最佳阈值后,空化性能开始下降。槽深为2mm,斜齿角为68°,槽角为5°时,空化性能最佳。在不同的CRHCR结构中,空化效率的变化归因于空化产生单元的不同几何形状,这调节了低压区的分布。这些发现为先进的水动力空化系统的结构设计、理论理解和实际应用提供了有价值的见解。
