Compound hydrocyclone is a kind of dynamic hydrocyclone also with the advantages of static hydrocyclone. In this investigation, the effect of operating parameters on separation performance of compound hydrocyclone is studied using both CFD technique and experimental method. The flow field of compound hydrocyclone was simulated by the RSM turbulence model; the particles with different size were simplified to 6 phases and simulated by the mixture multiphase model. The central composite design method was used to conduct the separation experiment of compound hydrocyclone. The results indicated that compound hydrocyclone can be used for finer particles separation and the flow field of compound hydrocyclone can still achieve a higher centrifugal force in lower inlet velocity. When the minimum partition size is required, the optimized operating condition of the compound hydrocyclone is v = 2.5 m/s, n = 1865 rpm, and c = 7.5%, while when the maximum partition size is required, the optimized operating condition is v = 2.5 m/s, n = 905 rpm, and c = 24.5%.

The numerical simulation can be obtained by taking advantage of turbulence model of Fluent to study the gas-solid flow field of cyclone separator. The pressure of the cyclone drops increases with the enhancement of the inlet flow velocity, and the increase amplitude can become larger and larger. The separation efficiency of the cyclone enhances gradually as the increase of the flow. The increase amplitude of small and secondary particles is much lager compared with the increase amplitude of big ones. The overall separation efficiency can strengthen gradually with increasing of particles concentration as well as the each part’s efficiency. But the separation efficiency will stay in stable level when the concentration reaches a certain value with the big particles in the low concentration and small ones in a relatively high concentration.

Classification Efficiency

The vertical roller mill is an important crushing and grading screening device widely used in many industries. Its classification efficiency and the pressure difference determine the entire producing capacity and power consumption, respectively, which makes them the two key indicators describing the mill performance. Based on the DPM (Discrete Phase Model) and continuous phase coupling model, the flow field characteristics in the vertical roller mill including the velocity and pressure fields and the discrete phase distributions had been analyzed. The influence of blade parameters like the shape, number, and rotating speed on the flow field and classification performance had also been comprehensively explored. The numerical simulations showed that there are vortices in many zones in the mill and the blades are of great significance to the mill performance. The blade IV not only results in high classification efficiency but also reduces effectively the pressure difference in the separator and also the whole machine. The conclusions of the flow field analysis and the blade effects on the classification efficiency and the pressure difference could guide designing and optimizing the equipment structure and the milling process, which is of great importance to obtain better overall performance of the vertical roller mill.

Fine Classification

In view of the difficulty of traditional hydrocyclones to meet the requirements of fine classification, a double-overflow three-product (internal overflow, external overflow and underflow) hydrocyclone was designed in this study. Numerical simulation and experimental research methods were used to investigate the effects of double-overflow flow field characteristics and structural parameters (i.e., internal vortex finder diameter and insertion depth) on separation performance. The research results showed that the larger the diameter of the internal vortex finder, the greater the overflow yield and the larger the cut size. The finest internal overflow product can be obtained when the internal vortex finder is 30 mm longer than the external vortex finder. The separation efficiency is highest when the internal vortex finder is 30 mm shorter than the external vortex finder.

Membrane processes are promising methods to separate gases from feed streams without phase changing. A hybrid process, the combination of ionic liquids with a ceramic membrane (ILM), has been developed for humidity removal in a green continuous process. This new concept provides a more efficient and available ionic liquid (IL)-based membrane regeneration process, which just switches the moist feed stream to dry air. Furthermore, the ILM presents high stability and mechanical resistance during long-time operation. In addition, the influences of several operating parameters, including flow rate, temperature, absolute pressure, and feed concentration on process efficiency were investigated. The lower inlet flow rate was found to be favorable for drying humid air. Moreover, when the pressure increased, the mass of absorbed water was increased, while the feed concentration had no significant effects on the membrane separation performance. However, the operating temperature had a great effect on humidity removal. It is necessary to note that the processes at room temperature can limit the energy consumption. The absorbing process of ILM remained efficient after several absorption desorption cycles. Therefore, the new ILM hybrid process that has been developed has great potential for consecutive humidity removal processes.

A cascade design-method is presented which complements the meridional through-flow design procedure of turbomachines. Starting from an axisymmetric flow field and the streamline geometry in the meridional plane this simple method produces a solution for the quasi three-dimensional flow field and the blade-element geometry on corresponding stream surfaces. In addition, it provides intra-blade data on loss and turning required for a consistent design and a convenient means of optimizing blade loading. The purpose of this paper is to describe the theoretical basis of the method and to illustrate its application in the design of transonic compressors.

The objective of this research was to obtain optimum condition of eugenol production from clove oil using a central composite design method. The main process occured in the eugenol production was saphonification and neutralization processes. In order to optimize these processes, the ratio of NaOH/clove oil and temperature were studied as design variables i.e. ratio of NaOH/clove oil=1:2.5-1:3.5 while temperature was varied between 40 and 60oC. The yield of eugenol was considered as the main response in of this experiment. The result showed that the optimum condition was achieved when the temperature and the ratio of NaOH/clove oil were 50oC and 2.75:1, respectively and the yield was 39.17%.<br />

Transonic Cascade

A iterative procedure for blade design, using a time marching procedure to solve the unsteady Euler equations in the blade-to-blade plane, is presented. A flow solver, which performs the analysis of the flow field for a given geometry, is transformed into a design method. This is done by replacing the classical slip condition (no normal velocity component) by other boundary conditions, in such a way that the required pressure or Mach number distribution may be imposed directly on the blade. The unknowns are calculated on the blade wall using the so-called compatibility relations. Since the blade shape is not compatible with the required pressure distribution, a nonzero velocity component normal to the blade wall evolves from the new flow calculation. The blade geometry is then modified by resetting the wall parallel to the new flow field, using a transpiration technique, and the procedure is repeated until the calculated pressure distribution has converged to the required one. Examples for both subsonic and transonic flows are presented and show a rapid convergence to the geometry required for the desired Mach number distribution. An important advantage of the present method is the possibility to use the same code for the design and the analysis of a blade.
