Propagation characteristics of pulverized coal and gas two-phase flow during an outburst.

ABSTRACT: Coal and gas outbursts are dynamic failures that can involve the ejection of thousands tons of pulverized coal, as well as considerable volumes of gas, into a limited working space within a short period. The two-phase flow of gas and pulverized coal that occurs during an outburst can lead to fatalities and destroy underground equipment. This article examines the interaction mechanism between pulverized coal and gas flow. Based on the role of gas expansion energy in the development stage of outbursts, a numerical simulation method is proposed for investigating the propagation characteristics of the two-phase flow. This simulation method was verified by a shock tube experiment involving pulverized coal and gas flow. The experimental and simulated results both demonstrate that the instantaneous ejection of pulverized coal and gas flow can form outburst shock waves. These are attenuated along the propagation direction, and the volume fraction of pulverized coal in the two-phase flow has significant influence on attenuation of the outburst shock wave. As a whole, pulverized coal flow has a negative impact on gas flow, which makes a great loss of large amounts of initial energy, blocking the propagation of gas flow. According to comparison of numerical results for different roadway types, the attenuation effect of T-type roadways is best. In the propagation of shock wave, reflection and diffraction of shock wave interact through the complex roadway types.

Gas-liquid two-phase flow-based triboelectric nanogenerator with ultrahigh output power.

Project description:Solid-liquid triboelectric nanogenerators (SL-TENGs) have shown promising prospects in energy harvesting and application from water resources. However, the low contact separation speed, small contact area, and long contacting time during solid-liquid electrification severely limit their output properties and further applications. Here, by leveraging the rheological properties of gas-liquid two-phase flow and the Venturi-like design, we circumvent these limitations and develop a previously unknown gas-liquid two-phase flow-based TENG (GL-TENG) that can achieve ultrahigh voltage and volumetric charge density of 3789 volts and 859 millicoulombs per cubic meter, respectively. With a high-power output of 143.6 kilowatts per cubic meter, a 24-watt commercial lamp can be directly lighted by a continuous-flow GL-TENG device. The high performance displayed SL-TENGs in this work provides a promising strategy for the practical application of solid-liquid TENGs in energy harvesting and sensing applications.

Characterizing the correlations between local phase fractions of gas-liquid two-phase flow with wire-mesh sensor.

Project description:Understanding of flow patterns and their transitions is significant to uncover the flow mechanics of two-phase flow. The local phase distribution and its fluctuations contain rich information regarding the flow structures. A wire-mesh sensor (WMS) was used to study the local phase fluctuations of horizontal gas-liquid two-phase flow, which was verified through comparing the reconstructed three-dimensional flow structure with photographs taken during the experiments. Each crossing point of the WMS is treated as a node, so the measurement on each node is the phase fraction in this local area. An undirected and unweighted flow pattern network was established based on connections that are formed by cross-correlating the time series of each node under different flow patterns. The structure of the flow pattern network reveals the relationship of the phase fluctuations at each node during flow pattern transition, which is then quantified by introducing the topological index of the complex network. The proposed analysis method using the WMS not only provides three-dimensional visualizations of the gas-liquid two-phase flow, but is also a thorough analysis for the structure of flow patterns and the characteristics of flow pattern transition. This article is part of the themed issue 'Supersensing through industrial process tomography'.

Study on Weight Function Distribution of Hybrid Gas-Liquid Two-Phase Flow Electromagnetic Flowmeter.

Project description:The electromagnetic flowmeter is usually used for single-phase fluid parameter measurement. When the measured fluid is gas-liquid two-phase flow, the geometry of the sensor measurement space will change with the movement of the gas, which will cause measurement errors. The weight function distribution is an important parameter to analyze such measurement errors. The traditional method for calculating the weight function of gas-liquid two-phase flow involves complex dimensional space transformation, which is difficult to understand and apply. This paper presents a new method for calculating the weight function of the gas-liquid two-phase flow electromagnetic flowmeter. Firstly, based on the measurement principle of the electromagnetic flowmeter, a general model of weight function of the gas-liquid two-phase flow electromagnetic flowmeter is built. Secondly, the bubbles in the fluid are regarded as the "isolated" points in the flow field. According to the physical connection between the "field" of the measured fluid and the "source" of the sensor electrode, the Green's function expression based on gas-liquid two-phase flow is established. Then, combined with the boundary conditions of the measurement space of the electromagnetic flowmeter, the Green's function is analyzed. Finally, the general model of weight function is solved by using the expression of Green's function, then the expression of the weight function of the electromagnetic flowmeter is obtained when the measured fluid is hybrid gas-liquid two-phase flow. The simulation results show that the proposed method can reasonably describe the influence of the gas in the measured fluid on the output signal of the sensor, and the experimental results also indirectly prove the rationality of this method.

Hydrodynamic Modeling of Turbulence Modulation by Particles in a Swirling Gas-Particle Two-Phase Flow.

Project description:Turbulence modulations by particles of a swirling gas-particle two-phase flow in an axisymmetric chamber are numerically simulated. To fully consider the preferential concentrations and the anisotropic dispersions of particles, a second-order moment model coupling particle-particle collision model was improved. Experimental validation for the proposed model, algorithm, and in-house codes by acceptable match was carried out. The effects of ultralight-expanded graphite and heavy copper particles with a large span of Stokes number on gas velocities and fluctuations, Reynolds shear stresses and tensor invariants, turbulence kinetic energies, and vortice structures are investigated. The results show that turbulent modulation exhibits strong anisotropic characteristics and remains in a close relationship with the flow structure. Modulation disturbances and vortex evolution are enforced by heavy-large particles with higher Stokes numbers. Preferential accumulations of ultralight particles in shear stress regions at lower vortices are weaker than those of heavy particles. For axial turbulence modulations, a heavy particle plays the primary role in the inhibition action because of larger inertia, and a light particle contributes to the enhancement effect due to excellent followability. The instantaneous flow information and coherent turbulent structure are failed to be acquired due to the limitation of the Reynolds time-averaged algorithm.

Experimental study on permeability characteristics of gas-containing raw coal under different stress conditions.

Project description:The present experimental study on permeability characteristics for raw coal under different stress states is implemented by applying the triaxial self-made 'THM coupled with servo-controlled seepage apparatus for gas-containing coal'; the result indicates that the flow rate of gas in the coal sample gradually decreases with the nonlinear loading of axial pressure and increases with the nonlinear unloading of axial stress and confining pressure. The flow rate, axial stress and confining pressure curves all satisfy the negative exponential function relation. When the sample reaches the peak intensity, the sample will be destroyed and the stress will drop rapidly; then the flow rate of the sample will increase rapidly. At this stage, the flow rate and axial strain show an oblique 'v' pattern. The flow rate of the coal sample increases nonlinearly with the increase of gas pressure; the relation curve between flow rate and gas pressure satisfies the power function relation. Under the same confining pressure and gas pressure conditions, the larger the axial stress, the smaller the flow rate of the coal sample. Under the same axial stress and gas pressure conditions, the flow rate of the coal sample will first decrease, but then increase as the confining pressure decreases. During the post-peak loading and unloading process, the flow rate of the coal sample will decrease with the loading of confining pressure but increase with the unloading of confining pressure, and there will be an increase in wave shape with the increase in axial strain. The flow rate of each loading and unloading confining pressure is higher than that of the previous loading and unloading confining pressure. At the post-peak stage, the relation curve between the flow rate of the coal sample and the confining pressure satisfies the power function relation in the process of loading and unloading confining pressure.

Prediction of gas velocity in two-phase flow using developed fuzzy logic system with differential evolution algorithm.

Project description:In this investigation, differential evolution (DE) algorithm with the fuzzy inference system (FIS) are combined and the DE algorithm is employed in FIS training process. Considered data in this study were extracted from simulation of a 2D two-phase reactor in which gas was sparged from bottom of reactor, and the injected gas velocities were between 0.05 to 0.11 m/s. After doing a couple of training by making some changes in DE parameters and FIS parameters, the greatest percentage of FIS capacity was achieved. By applying the optimized model, the gas phase velocity in x direction inside the reactor was predicted when the injected gas velocity was 0.08 m/s.

Numerical Simulation of the Gas-Solid Two-Phase Flow-Reaction Process in a Maximizing Isoparaffin Process Reactor.

Project description:The process of the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is accompanied by complex physical and chemical reactions and phase transition processes. For the FCC process-maximizing isoparaffin process (MIP), coupled simulation and optimization of flow reaction can meet the requirements for the design and operation of high efficiency, low energy consumption, low pollution, and low cost in the catalytic device. A combination of Eulerian-Eulerian model and 11-lump kinetic model is adopted to simulate the flow-reaction process of gas-solid two-phase of an industrial MIP riser reactor. A drag model based on the energy-minimization multiscale model established by Yang is incorporated into FLUENT through a user-defined function (UDF). The temperature distribution of the catalyst and the concentration of each product component at the outlet are in good agreement with the industrial measured data, which indicates that the established coupling model of flow reaction and drag model are reliable and effective. The two operating variables of the catalyst-to-oil ratio and catalyst inlet temperature are explored their effects on the flow-reaction process of FCC gas-solid two-phase. In the prelifting zone, the velocity of catalyst particles presents parabolic distribution. In the first reaction zone, the maximum velocity of catalyst particles is about 1/2 of the radius of the riser. In the second reaction zone, the maximum particle velocity of catalyst is located in the central region, with a slight increase in about 1/2 of the radius of the riser. The increase in catalyst-to-oil ratio leads to the decrease in the yield of diesel oil and the increase in yields of gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas, propylene, and dry gas. The changes in the catalyst inlet temperature affect the product distribution of the outlet component, which can provide an important guiding significance.

Analysis of gas-solid two-phase flow and structure optimization of mobile shot blasting machine recovery device.

Project description:To address the problem of low efficiency of recycling process waste by gas-solid two-phase flow of the shot blasting machine recycling device, a method and structure by increasing the negative pressure value and optimizing the outlet pipe position are proposed. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), discrete element method (DEM) and discrete phase model (DPM) were used to study the waste recovery efficiency at different pressure outlet conditions and outlet pipe locations. The validity of the model was verified by velocity tests at the outlet and inlet compared with simulations. The effect of particle size and particle generation rate on solid particle recovery efficiency was further investigated by analyzing the flow field distribution of the recovery unit. The results show that the maximum velocity of the gas phase in the recovery device increases with the increase of the absolute value of the outlet pressure, when the outlet pressure is -6500 Pa, the maximum velocity is 67.59 m/s. When the absolute value of the outlet pressure is greater than 6000 Pa, a small amount of steel shot particles is discharged from the recovery bin under the action of the outlet pressure, resulting in the loss of steel shot particles. After the outlet pipe position optimization, the steel shot particle recovery efficiency increased by 10% and the waste particle recovery efficiency increased by 18.9%.
