Consequently, the solid mass flow rate can be controlled by adjusting the structure of the resistance components. Moreover, the structure characteristics of the resistance components are engineered to enhance gas velocity within the pipeline, thereby effectively mitigating the risk of clogging. The relationship between the ratio of the orifice plate pressure drop to the total conveying pressure drop and the solid mass flow rate was established by introducing the concept of effective pressure drop. Based on this relationship and Beverloo law, a model for solid mass flow rate was developed, which can predict the solid mass flow rate well by providing errors mostly within ± 10 %.

The objective of this study is to establish a technique to rapidly improve bubble distribution characteristics through multi-objective optimization of the flow characteristics of this bubbler using single-phase flow computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. Therefore, design variables for the bubbler blades were defined by applying turbomachinery design methods, and four flow characteristics were subjected to multi-objective optimization using single-phase flow CFD analysis and the response surface methods. While the resulting optimized bubbler increased the pressure loss coefficient by 0.9 %, it improved the wall shear stress by 3.4 %, the swirl number by 10.0 %, and the pressure reduction coefficient by 14.3 % compared to the original bubbler. Furthermore, experiments showed that the optimized bubbler produced smaller bubbles than the original bubbler, demonstrating that the multi-objective optimization design method can significantly improve the bubble distribution characteristics while maintaining the same pressure loss coefficient.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10019,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Research & Design","volume":"212 ","pages":"Pages 457-471"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142706406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a physical model for the gas-solid two-phase interaction of an ultra-dilute high-temperature particle cluster and analyzes its heat exchange with vertical heating surfaces. The research indicates that radiative heat transfer is the primary mode of heat exchange between the particles and the heated surface, constituting more than 50 %. Moreover, heat is transferred from the particles through the air to the heated surface. Significantly, lowering the air inlet temperature and the particle velocity greatly improves the heat transfer performance and overall efficiency. Additionally, increasing the air flow rate can offset the decrease in contact thermal conductivity and radiative heat transfer that may occur due to increased spacing between the vertical tube bundle heating surfaces, thus promoting particle heat transfer. This study is crucial for guiding the improvement of heat transfer techniques for high-temperature molten particles in confined spaces.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10019,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Research & Design","volume":"212 ","pages":"Pages 445-456"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142706405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
