CFD Simulation of Gas-Solid Two-Phase Flow in Pneumatic Conveying of Wheat
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of gas-solid flow through a positive low-pressure pneumatic conveyor were performed using Eulerian-Eulerian framework. Pressure drop in pneumatic conveying pipelines, creation and destruction of plugs along the horizontal and vertical pipes, effect of 90° elbows and U-bends on cross-section concentrations, and rope formation and dispersion were...
متن کاملCharacterization of Microbubble-Based Drilling Fluids: Investigating the Role of Surfactants and Polymers
Colloidal Gas Aphrons (CGA), consist of gas bubbles with diameters ranging from 10 to 100 micron, surrounded by a thin aqueous surfactant film. This fluid combines certain surfactants and polymers to create the systems of microbubbles. The function of surfactant in CGAs is to produce the surface tension to contain the aphrons. Also, a biopolymer needs to be considered in the formulation as ...
متن کاملOn the Purpose of Toroidal Motion in a Convecting Mantle
The purpose of toroidal flow, i.e., strike-slip motion and plate spin, in the plate-tectonic style of mantle convection is enigmatic. It is a purely horizontal, dissipative flow field that makes no apparent contribution to the release of heat. However, when plate-like toroidal motion is allowed to arise as a phenomenon of non-Newtonian mantle dynamics, it in fact acts to reduce the net amount o...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Fluid Flow Characteristics Around Slide Gates Using Multi-Zonal Method
One method of solving the governing equations of fluid flow about complex geometries is to use multi-zonal method. In this method the overall domain is divided into small number of simpler domains. In each zone, the flow field is solved independently of other zones. The boundary conditions for connecting zones are enforced to convey the necessary linkage. This multi – zonal procedure has been a...
متن کاملAcoustic-Mean Flow Interaction in Solid Propellant Rocket Motors
There are several sources for pressure oscillations in solid propellant rocket motors. Oscillatory flow field is one of them. Free shear layers in motor flow field cause vortex shedding. End edges of propellant grains and baffle edge in two-segmented motors are samples of such zones. These vortices move from their forming points and strike the field walls. The kinetic energy of vortices change ...
