Influence of Vapor Feed Design on the Flow Distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been applied to investigate the flow field which develops above the vapor feed in packed separation columns. The uniformity of the flow below the packing is assessed by means of the coefficient of variation Kp. The resulting Kp for the standard inlet is input into an empirical correlation depending on the three most important, basically geometrical, dimensionless parameters. Other feed systems including the Schoepentoeter and the vapor horn are compared with the standard inlet.

Influence of nozzle geometry and injection conditions on the cavitation flow inside a diesel injector
Cavitation and turbulence in a diesel injector nozzle has a great effect on the development and primary breakup of spray. However, the mechanism of the cavitation flow inside the nozzle and its influence on spray characteristics have not been clearly known yet because of the internal nozzle flow complexities. In this paper, a comprehensive numerical simulation is carried out to study the intern...
