Experimental and numerical analysis of supersonic air ejector
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present paper performs experimental and numerical investigations on the global performance and internal flow of a supersonic air ejector. The effects of operation parameters and geometrical factor on the air ejector performance have been analyzed. The results show that: the static wall pressure and axisymmetric line static pressure remain constant in critical mode under different discharged pressures, but they both increase in sub-critical mode with the increase of the discharged pressure. The shock position of the mixed fluid moves upstream in critical mode. The second shock position disappears in sub-critical mode. The experimental and numerical results indicate that there exists an optimal nozzle exit position (NXP) corresponding to maximum entrainment ratio, but the critical value of discharged pressure is almost independent of NXP. 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Verification of K-ω SST Turbulence Model for Supersonic Internal Flows
In this work, we try to find the best setting of Computational Fluid Dynamic solver available for the problems in the field of supersonic internal flows. We used the supersonic air-toair ejector to represent the typical problem in focus. There are multiple oblique shock waves, shear layers, boundary layers and normal shock interacting in the supersonic ejector making this device typical in fiel...
متن کاملAnalytical and Experimental Methods of Design for Supersonic Two-Stage Ejectors
In this paper the supersonic ejectors are experimentally and analytically studied. Ejector is a device that uses the energy of a fluid to move another fluid. This device works like a vacuum pump without usage of piston, rotor or any other moving component. An ejector contains an active nozzle, a passive nozzle, a mixing chamber and a diffuser. Since the fluid viscosity is large, and the flow is...

Two-phase ejectors are devices capable of improving the performance of refrigeration and air conditioning cycles by means of expansion work recovery. Ejector studies often focus on the design and performance of the two-phase ejector and the effect it can have on the performance of the ejector cycle. However, the ejector is not the only component of the system that can have a significant influen...

Ejectors are devices usually made of two convergent-divergent coaxial nozzles which are used to convert pressure energy into kinetic energy. These devices involve very complex phenomena which strongly affect their performance. Flow visualization methods are often used to provide precious information as for the nature of the flow within the ejectors and the comprehension of the physical phenomen...

In recent years, ejectors have received much attention because of their ability to reduce throttling losses and increase the efficiency of stationary and mobile air-conditioning systems. While much of the initial research was carried out with high pressure fluids, such as carbon dioxide, it was soon discovered that ejectors can also offer significant advantages in systems that utilize low press...
