| Abstract: | The task of this study is to investigate the influence of various geometric parameters and pressure ratios on the Coanda ejector performance. For numerically investigations we use an implicit formulation of the compressible Reynolds-average Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) for axisymmetric flow with a shear stress transport k − ω (SST model) turbulence model. The numerically results was obtained for a total pressure range 1-5 Bars, imposed at the reservoir inlet. The effect of various factors, such as, the pressure ratio, primary nozzle and ejector configurations on the system performance has been evaluated based on defined performance parameters. The numerical results have been compared with theoretical and experimental results for a given Coanda ejector configuration. (© 2011 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
