Experimental verification of the feasibility of the CFD approach in an air-knife

Air knives with very different nominal values are used for various purposes in the industry. The uses of air include painting and coating stages automobile semi-finished products, as well many related to food production. One important sectors among these is continuous hot-dip galvanizing process, which a technique steel In addition, chemical process on paper thin layer another research topic. most critical needed ensure homogeneous air-flow at expected speed air-knife. These determine whether or desired thickness. this study, it aimed that air-knife can reach (speed distribution) tolerances, shortest time, cost, least production error. First, design has been made so knife blow homogeneously. For this, appropriate modeling were created analyzed CFD. analysis evaluations confirmed result measurements prototype. This study shows inclusion type rapid product development an role minimizing cost time.
