(Citation2005) experimental data of glass beads slurry of 125 μm mean diameter for volumetric concentration ranging 30%–52% and flow velocity ranging 2–5 m/s. The primary components of economical slurry transport are Specific Energy consumption (SEC) and pressure drop; both have been examined in the performance of different κ-ϵ models and are yet to be unlighted on these parameters. The CFD model found the excellent performance of all k-epsilon models with slightly more effectiveness in the case of the Realizable κ-ϵ model. The analyzed and validated CFD model was subsequently used in examining the parameters of slurry flow, such as the secondary phase velocity, concentration distribution, and SEC analysis for the range of fine particles 125, 150, and 212 µm. The plotted contours from CFD are useful in visualizing slurry flow parameters at intermediates inlet values for slurry inlet flow velocity ranging 2–6 m/s and inlet volumetric concentration ranging 30%–55% for fine particles. Analysis revealed that the highly concentrated fine particles slurry transported at optimum volumetric concentration range of 40–45% are economical slurry transport.Keywords: Eulerian multiphase modelhigh concentrated slurrysolid concentrationspecific energy consumption (SEC)turbulence models AcknowledgmentThe first author is highly grateful to Punjab Engineering College (Deemed to be University) Chandigarh, India, for sponsoring his doctoral studies at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

The gas–solid flow process after the generation of solid particles inside the pyrolysis furnace was studied in this article. Six different inlet modes of hot-carrier gas were designed, and the hot-carrier gas enters the pyrolysis furnace at the same flow rate through the six different inlet modes. The influence of varying inlet methods on the actual running distance of gas flow and the particle sedimentation rate was deeply studied in this article. The longer the distance the hot-carrier gas runs in the pyrolysis furnace, the more conducive it is to full contact with the material. The higher the particle settling rate, the more magnesium oxide particles are collected in the pyrolysis furnace. ANSYS Fluent was used for numerical simulation in this study. The results indicate that when using a tangential inlet, the actual running distance of the hot-carrier gas in the pyrolysis furnace is longer than that of the normal inlet. The actual running distance of the thermal carrier gas at the three tangential inlets is 46.5 m, and that at a single normal inlet is 24.7 m. The former is 88% more than the latter. The sedimentation rate of solid particles at three tangential inlets is 32.24%, and that at a single normal inlet is 12.06%. The former is 167% higher than the latter. The three tangential inlet mode is the best way to increase the actual running distance of the hot-carrier gas and improve the solid particle settling rate in the pyrolysis furnace. The pyrolysis furnace with multiple tangential inlets has two advantages. On the one hand, increasing the running distance of the hot-carrier gas in the furnace is conducive, thereby making the contact between the hot-carrier gas and the material more sufficient. On the other hand, it can increase the capture rate of product particles, improve the product yield, and reduce the dust content of pyrolysis tail gas.Keywords: Magnesium nitratenumerical simulationpyrolysis furnacespray pyrolysis Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe authors would like to acknowledge the financial support for this was provided by the National Key R&D Program of China’s ‘Technologies and Integrated Application of Magnesite Waste Utilization for High-Valued Chemicals and Materials’ (2020YFC1909303).","PeriodicalId":19742,"journal":{"name":"Particulate Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135590042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A fully coupled CFD-DEM model considering various fluid-particle interphase forces and turbulence-particle interactions is used to simulate coarse particles transported in inclined pipes. The energy dissipation is calculated from both the macro and micro perspectives. The effects of pipe’s inclination angle, particle concentration, conveying speed and particle diameter on the hydraulic transport characteristics and the energy dissipations are analyzed. The results showed that, with the increase in inclination angle, the deposited particles were gradually dispersed. Pressure drop and energy dissipation displayed a peak at 60°. Both the parameters increased with the increases in particle concentration and conveying speed in 60° inclined pipe. The energy dissipation was mainly due to the turbulent dissipation, wall friction, mean velocity field and particles’ gravity. The results further showed that the modulations in the fluid due to particle distribution could significantly change the energy dissipation caused by the fluctuating velocity, thus resulting in the maximum pressure drop and energy dissipation at 60°. The particle-fluid energy dissipation increased almost linearly with the increase in conveying speed, while it varied nonlinearly with the increase in inclination angle and particle parameters.Keywords: Liquid-solid flowCFD-DEM methodenergy dissipationcoarse particle-laden flowinclined pipe AcknowledgementsThe authors are grateful for the financial support provided by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Key R & D Projects in Jiangsu Province and Jiangsu Provincial Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe authors are grateful for the financial support provided by the National Natural Science Foundation of China [Grant No.: 52176038 and 51979125], Key R & D Projects in Jiangsu Province [Grant No.: BE2021073] and Jiangsu Provincial Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars [Grant No. BK20211547].","PeriodicalId":19742,"journal":{"name":"Particulate Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135270665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The snail shell particle size of 150 μm from dry milling was wet milled to get smaller particle sizes. The response surface design method was used to investigate the effect of independent parameters such as consistency (amount of microparticle loading in calcium carbonate suspension) and the number of runs on the particle size of calcium carbonate produced using a supermasscolloider. Results show that the microparticle loading in calcium carbonate suspension and the number of runs significantly affected the synthesized particles. The increase in microparticle loading reduced the effectiveness of the supermasscolloider blade, resulting in the production of particle sizes ranging from 21- to 40 nm. A higher number of runs with a smaller loading of microparticles in calcium carbonate suspension offered a fine particle size of 21.30 nm. The experimental data quartic polynomial models gave a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.92. The optimum milling runs of 750 and 1% consistency microparticle loading produced a calcium carbonate nanoparticle size of 21 nm.

The flow fields under different design methods and gas flow rates are then investigated by numerical simulation. The designation of the angle of the conical channel is particularly significant. Compared to the original structure, the proportional method has difficulty obtaining a proper inclination angle, whose inhomogeneity indices of the distributions of pressure drop ηp and gas velocity ηv may increase or decrease. The traditional linear method has lower inhomogeneity indices, for example, ηv will decrease by ≥7.02%, which denotes more uniform flow distributions, while the improved linear and multi-stage linear methods have the lowest inhomogeneity indices, for example, ηv will decrease by ≥12.12 and 13.60%, respectively. Besides, the latter two methods have good adaptability and robustness to fluctuations in the gas flow rate.HIGHLIGHTSTwo new design methods of conical channel are proposed.Inhomogeneity indices are introduced to quantify the uniformity of flow distribution.Robustness of different design methods are evaluated.Keywords: Centrifugal radial bednumerical simulationstructural optimizationconical channelinhomogeneity indices Authors’ ContributionHaonan Xu: Investigation, Writing-original draft.
