Abstract:

Gravity-driven granular flowing across inverted drop-shaped tubes is investigated, with the aim to enhance flow and heat transfer performance and avoid particle stagnant. The discrete element method was used to simulate the flow and heat transfer of a gravity-driven particle flow across a circular tube and a drop-shaped tube with different ellipticities (e= 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5) was analyzed.t The effect of ellipticity on the size of the stagnation zone, the normal and tangential force on the pipe, and the effective heat transfer coefficient was compared with the circular tube. The main conclusions are as follows: compared with circular tube, granular flow drop-shaped tubes perform better in flow and stagnation avoidance. The stagnation area and the void area of the drop-shaped tube are smaller than the circular tube. As the ellipticity increases, the particle flow velocity at the top of the tube increases, and the flow upward the tube becomes better. The drop-shaped tube is subjected to the normal force and the tangential force of the granular flow and both are smaller than the circular tube. After the ellipticity is more than 1.0, the ellipticity is increased, and the two forces are no longer reduced. The effective heat transfer coefficient of the drop-shaped tube is smaller than that of the circular tube, and the effective heat transfer coefficient decreases as the ellipticity increases.

摘要:

采用离散单元方法(DEM)模拟了重力驱动的颗粒流横掠圆管和不同椭圆度(e=1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5)的滴形管下的流动与换热情况,分析了滴形管的椭圆度对停滞区大小、管周受力以及有效传热系数的影响,并与圆管进行了对比。主要结论如下:滴形管的停滞区和空区均小于圆管,随着椭圆度增大,管顶部颗粒流速增加,流动性变好;滴形管受颗粒流的法向力和切向力均小于圆管,在椭圆度大于1.0后,增加椭圆度,两力不再减小;滴形管的有效传热系数小于圆管,且随着椭圆度增大,有效传热系数降低。
