燃煤超细颗粒团聚模拟研究

针对煤燃烧过程中产生的超细颗粒有效控制问题,提出了一种配合中国目前电站除尘方式的新方法,其核心思想就是将一种表面具有较高粘附活性的团聚剂溶液喷入烟气中,使烟气中超细颗粒物团聚成较大颗粒物后能够被电站现有除尘装置所除去。为了证明这种方法的有效性,建立了模拟锅炉烟尘流动的小型团聚实验台并进行实验研究;在此基础上,模拟了团聚剂对超细颗粒物的团聚效果,计算结果表明:烟气流量、烟尘浓度、团聚剂流量和浓度等都是影响超细颗粒物团聚的重要因素;若保证烟气温度降低幅度在10℃以内,且烟气流量和烟尘浓度相同时,适当增加团聚剂的浓度或流量,可使超细颗粒物的团聚效率达到70%,为进一步实验研究提供理论依据。

新型气流声源发声特性及其对气溶胶的团聚 实验研究*

为提高气溶胶颗粒物的声波团聚效果,创新性地设计了一种具有气声分离特性的气流声源。新声源使乏气从侧面开口排出,避免了对团聚效果的影响。通过实验研究了侧面开口尺寸对号角出口处气流量与声压级的影响,发现侧面开口尺寸对乏气排出及声压级有较大影响,当侧面开口尺寸约为6.5 mm时排气效果较好,此时在0.3 MPa驱动压力下声压级可达159.6 dB,同时乏气已基本全部从侧面开口排出。利用该声源对超细液滴气溶胶进行团聚实验,结果显示,声源驱动压力越大,声压级越大,气溶胶受声场作用力越强,颗粒间碰撞几率增大,团聚速率越快;初始气溶胶浓度越高,前期团聚效果越好,透光率增长速度越大,而后期团聚效果则趋近一致。

Spontaneous ignition of ultra-fine magnesium powder without an original oxide coat at room temperature in O2/N2 mixture streams

To examine the pyrophoric characteristics of Mg powder, we generated ultra-fine Mg particles (average particle diameter: about 0.3 μm) without an original oxide coat in an Ar stream. The ignition of the powder was measured by using the impinging O₂/N₂ mixture streams over a wide range of the experimental parameters: pressure, oxygen concentration and velocity of the streams. The Mg powder was found to ignite even at room temperature. The spontaneous ignition temperatures in the range of 278  324 K were insensitive to all the experimental parameters. The ignition delay time had a tendency to decrease with increasing experimental parameters.The ignition process of the Mg powder was found to be controlled by the surface reaction rate without an oxide coat. We proposed a new ignition hypothesis considering a critical oxide thickness on the Mg powder particles at the transition temperature from protective to non-protective nature: that is, the ignition of the Mg powder occurs when the powder temperature rises above the transition temperature before surface reactions form a protective oxide coat with the critical thickness on the individual particle surfaces. According to this hypothesis, an ignition model of Mg powder cluster was developed, and the relation between the spontaneous critical ignition temperature and the ultra-fine powder size, depending on the critical thickness of the protective oxide coat, was clarified. The critical oxide thickness was estimated.     

Analysis on plasma chemistry and particle growth in corona discharge process for NO/sub x/ removal using discrete-sectional method

The particle formation and growth combined with plasma chemistry in the pulsed corona discharge process (PCDP) to remove NO/sub x/ were analyzed by the discrete-sectional model. In the PCDP, most of the NO is converted into NO/sub 2/ and, later, into HNO/sub 3/ which reacts with NH/sub 3/ to form the NH/sub 4/NO/sub 3/ particle. In the beginning of the reactor, we have the high concentration of small size particles and, later, the particle size distribution in the reactor becomes bimodal with the large size and small size particles and, finally, becomes monodisperse with the large size particles. As the average electron concentration increases, it takes a shorter reactor length to remove the NO/sub x/. As the initial NO and H/sub 2/O concentrations decrease, the NH/sub 3/ is consumed more slowly to form the ammonium nitrates particles. As the averaged electron concentration and initial H/sub 2/O concentration increase, the large size particles grow more quickly and the particle size distribution becomes bimodal earlier. As the initial NO and NH/sub 3/ concentrations increase, the diameter of large size particles becomes larger by the faster coagulation between particles. The predicted NO/sub x/ conversion and particle size distribution were in close agreements with the published experimental results at the averaged electron concentration of 2/spl times/10/sup 5/ cm/sup -3/ in this study.     

Multiphysics modelling of the separation of suspended particles via frequency ramping of ultrasonic standing waves

A model was developed to determine the local changes of concentration of particles and the formations of bands induced by a standing acoustic wave field subjected to a sawtooth frequency ramping pattern. The mass transport equation was modified to incorporate the effect of acoustic forces on the concentration of particles. This was achieved by balancing the forces acting on particles. The frequency ramping was implemented as a parametric sweep for the time harmonic frequency response in time steps of 0.1 s. The physics phenomena of piezoelectricity, acoustic fields and diffusion of particles were coupled and solved in COMSOL Multiphysics? (COMSOL AB, Stockholm, Sweden) following a three step approach. The first step solves the governing partial differential equations describing the acoustic field by assuming that the pressure field achieves a pseudo steady state. In the second step, the acoustic radiation force is calculated from the pressure field. The final step allows calculating the locally changing concentration of particles as a function of time by solving the modified equation of particle transport. The diffusivity was calculated as function of concentration following the Garg and Ruthven [1] equation which describes the steep increase of diffusivity when the concentration approaches saturation. However, it was found that this steep increase creates numerical instabilities at high voltages (in the piezoelectricity equations) and high initial particle concentration. The model was simplified to a pseudo one-dimensional case due to computation power limitations. The predicted particle distribution calculated with the model is in good agreement with the experimental data as it follows accurately the movement of the bands in the centre of the chamber.     

Ignition of single coal particle in a hot furnace under normal- and micro-gravity condition

An experimental study on ignition and combustion of single particles was conducted at normal gravity (1-g) and microgravity (μ-g) for three high volatile coals with initial diameter of 1.5 and 2.0 mm, respectively. The non-intrusive twin-color pyrometry method was used to retrieve the surface temperature of the coal particle through processing the images taken by a color CCD camera. At the same time, a mathematical model considering thermal conduction inside the coal particle was developed to simulate the ignition process.Both experiments and modeling found that ignition occurred homogeneously at the beginning and then heterogeneously for the testing coal particles burning at μ-g. Experimental results confirmed that ignition temperature decreased with increasing volatile content and increasing particle size. However, contradicted to previous studies, this study found that for a given coal with certain particle size, ignition temperature was about 50–80 K lower at μ-g than that at 1-g.The model predictions agreed well with the μ-g experimental data on ignition temperature. The criterion that the temperature gradient in the space away from the particle surface equaled to zero was validated to determine the commence of homogeneous ignition. Thermal conduction inside the particle could have a noticeable effect for determining the ignition temperature. With the consideration of thermal conduction, the critical size for the phase transient from homogeneous to heterogeneous is about 700 μm at ambient temperature 1500 K and oxygen concentration 0.23.     

Formation of plasma dust structures at atmospheric pressure

The formation of strongly coupled stable dust structures in the plasma produced by an electron beam at atmospheric pressure was detected experimentally. Analytical expressions were derived for the ionization rate of a gas by an electron beam in an axially symmetric geometry by comparing experimental data with Monte Carlo calculations. Self-consistent one-dimensional simulations of the beam plasma were performed in the diffusion drift approximation of charged plasma particle transport with electron diffusion to determine the dust particle levitation conditions. Since almost all of the applied voltage drops on the cathode layer in the Thomson glow regime of a non-self-sustained gas discharge, a distribution of the electric field that grows toward the cathode is produced in it; this field together with the gravity produces a potential well in which the dust particles levitate to form a stable disk-shaped structure. The nonideality parameters of the dust component in the formation region of a highly ordered quasi-crystalline structure calculated using computational data for the dust particle charging problem were found to be higher than the critical value after exceeding which an ensemble of particles with a Yukawa interaction should pass to the crystalline state.

Brownian dynamic simulation for the prediction of effective thermal conductivity of nanofluid

Nanofluid is a colloidal solution of nanosized solid particles in liquids. Nanofluids show anomalously high thermal conductivity in comparison to the base fluid, a fact that has drawn the interest of lots of research groups. Thermal conductivity of nanofluids depends on factors such as the nature of base fluid and nanoparticle, particle concentration, temperature of the fluid and size of the particles. Also, the nanofluids show significant change in properties such as viscosity and specific heat in comparison to the base fluid. Hence, a theoretical model becomes important in order to optimize the nanofluid dispersion (with respect to particle size, volume fraction, temperature, etc.) for its performance. As molecular dynamic simulation is computationally expensive, here the technique of Brownian dynamic simulation coupled with the Green Kubo model has been used in order to compute the thermal conductivity of nanofluids. The simulations were performed for different concentration ranging from 0.5 to 3 vol%, particle size ranging from 15 to 150 nm and temperature ranging from 290 to 320 K. The results were compared with the available experimental data, and they were found to be in close agreement. The model also brings to light important physical aspect like the role of Brownian motion in the thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids.
