Experimental and numerical study of droplet breakup in a jet mixer
Jet mixers are essential for multiphase jet reactors to achieve efficient mixing, while their design and optimization are limited by insufficient information on multiphase flow within a jet mixer. A numerical and experimental study was conducted on droplet breakup in an orifice jet mixer. First, a numerical method for jet flow was established and validated with the velocity field measured by particle image velocimetry. Droplet dynamics experiments were then carried out on a high-speed microscope platform. The results show that numerous droplets are generated in a single deformation process, resulting in a reduction of breakup time by orders of magnitude compared to traditional theory. Finally, a new breakup model was developed and implemented into OpenFOAM. The prediction of droplet size distribution is greatly improved, with the mean relative deviation of Sauter mean diameter being 6.96 %. This work provides new insights into droplet dynamics in high-energy dissipation fields.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
