核燃料在发电过程中会慢慢裂变,以致无法使用,出于节能经济性和减少污染排放的要求,对核燃料进行后处理和循环利用尤为重要。
在已经确定的水法后处理中,铀以硝酸铀酰水溶液的形式被回收,浓缩的硝酸铀酰溶液在流化床中脱硝生成三氧化铀,进一步还原生成二氧化铀,然后转变成四氟化铀,最后还原成金属铀循环使用[1]。
硝酸铀酰水溶液的雾化能够使液料形成尺寸均匀,颗粒直径小的液雾,以增加硝酸铀酰水溶液与流化气和流化底料之间的接触面积,提高反应速度。
由于硝酸铀酰水溶液粘度较大,因此适合雾化高粘度液体的空气辅助雾化喷嘴是其常用的雾化设备之一。
空气雾化喷嘴具有很多突出特点,在较低的油压下可以获得良好的雾化效果,尤其是对雾化高粘度的液体有很好的雾化质量,流量调节范围广,且能在较大的燃油流量范围内得到良好的雾化质量,因此它在石油、化工、电力等众多领域应用广泛[2-4]。
国内外许多学者对其进行了大量研究[5-9]。

反应器的混合时间是衡量其混合传质性能的重要指标,主要受反应器的结构与操作条件的影响[2],对反应器的设计放大及操作优化具有重要的参考价值.传统的混合时间测量方法主要有脱色法[3]、光学法[4]及电导法[5,6]等,这些测量方法都存在着一定的局限性,应用于大型生物反应器混合传质研究往往成本高、精度低、操作困难. 本工作用计算流体力学(Computational Fluid Dynamics ,简称CFD)技术对0.05, 1.0, 25.0 m 3三种规模的机械搅拌式生物反应器的混合行为进行数值模拟,研究在不同操作条件下混合时间的变化规律,并将模拟结果与实测结果进行比较,验证CFD 模拟技术用于机械搅拌生物反应器混合性能研究的可行性,以期为工程应用建立基础.2 实 验 2.1 实验设备 实验设备是常用的机械搅拌式通风发酵罐,又称标准罐,如图1所示,主要由椭圆封头、挡板、标准六平叶圆盘涡轮搅拌桨(Rushton 型)构成. 挡板与器壁间空隙取反应器内径的1%,具体尺寸见表1.位点A 及B 分别为测定混合时间时的加料点和监测点,加料点A 高度在上搅拌桨的上边缘位置,监测点B 高度约在下两个搅拌桨高度的中点处,两位点均在相邻两挡板之间的中点且离器壁0.1 m 左右处. 反应器内图1

电极和与之相联的计算机记录液体pH 值的变化,从Tank dataTank 1 Tank 2 Tank 3 Liquid volume, V (m ) 0.05 1.0 25.0 Liquid height, H L (m) 0.5 1.42 4.0 Tank diameter, D T (m) 0.3 0.8 2.4 Number of baffles, N B 3 4 4 Number of

elevation, S B (m)0.025−0.165而反映液体中[H +]浓度的变化. 典型的[H +]变化过程如图2所示[7]. 一般混合过程中示踪剂浓度变化曲线的振幅随时间指数递减,而其频率与时间无关,混合时间可以从曲线上读出. 混合时间t m 是指示踪剂注入反应器至达到一定混匀程度的时间. 混匀程度的定义为0.5100%C Cm C ∝∝−∆=×. 通常认为m 达到95%时,流体即混合均匀,此时的混合时间常用t 95来表示.3 CFD数值模拟 3.1 基本原理 3.1.1 基本数学模型在工业生产常用的操作条件下,生物反应器内液体湍流运动可由时均方程组来描述,其流动守恒方程组由张量表示的通用形式描述如下:()()()k k k kv S t x x x φφφρφρφΓ∂∂∂∂+=+∂∂∂∂, 式中,φ表示质量组分、速度、压力、湍流动能、湍流耗散等变量,S φ为源项,Γφ为湍流扩散,在计算示踪剂浓度场时,Γφ=ρD φ+µT /σφ, D φ为示踪剂分子扩散系数,µT 为湍流动力粘度,其值取于速度场湍流k −ε双方程模型,σφ为湍流Prandtl 数. 3.1.2 混合时间模拟生物反应器中物料在混合过程中的浓度分布随时间变化的非稳态过程通常有两种数值计算方法,一种是联立所有方程进行求解,另一种是假设速度场稳定,单独进行流场计算. 本研究的混合时间计算采用后一种方法. 具体模拟分两步进行:第一步,用单物质模型计算稳态流场,模拟的单物质是水;第二步,在上述稳态流场的基础上引入双物质模型(如水和示踪剂)进行非稳态计算. 在加料点设置初始示踪剂的注入量,在计算过程中求解监测点示踪剂的浓度变化,当混匀程度达到95%时,即认为达到了完全混合. 这段时间就称为搅拌反应器的混合时间,记为t 95. 3.2 数值计算 3.2.1 几何模型的构建及网格划分对于带有六平叶圆盘涡轮桨及挡板的搅拌生物反应器,由于其结构的对称性,故可以用通过轴心的垂直截面将其分成对称的若干部分. 如1.0 m 3机械搅拌发酵罐就可以对称地分成两部分,只对其中一部分进行几何体构建及网格划分. 机械搅拌生物反应器中搅拌桨与挡板之间相对移动的动界面可采用滑移网格法处理. 这种方法将计算区域分为两部分,如图3所示,一部分包含了运动的搅拌桨叶,另一部分包含反应器的其他静止部分,两部分网格之间要求彼此独立,两者之间的物质、动量传递通过定义接触边界面的粘联来实现.网格划分采用在正交圆柱坐标下的结构化网格,同时采用分块网格技术,在反应器中心部位网格线较密、外围较疏,这也是由流动的特点决定的. 这样可以减少假扩散,对解的收敛和求解速度都十分有利. 其对应的3种反应器(0.05, 1.0, 25.0 m 3)几何体划分的网格总数分别为158268, 215712和246996,网格的划分对求解已经达到了无关性标准. 1.0 m 3反应器具体网格空间划分见图3所示.设定流体在反应器壁处的流动速度为0,即无滑移边界条件;假定流体表面与大气无摩擦,在反应器的液体表面采用所谓的自由滑移边界条件;在轮轴处采用无移动及轴对称设定. 3.2.3 数值求解整个方程组的求解通过流体工程软件CFX −4.4完(a)(b)第2期 洪厚胜等:搅拌生物反应器混合特性的数值模拟与实验研究 133 成,通过有限体积法将微分方程组离散成差分代数方程组后,各变量差分方程用沿主流方向逐线扫描的低松弛迭代求解. 压力−速度耦合求解采用SIMPLEC 算法.4 结果与讨论 对于大多数生化反应,物料的混匀效果和混合速率决定着反应效率和生产成本,对生物反应器的混合特性的研究具有现实意义. 在搅拌生物反应器中,物料的混合作用主要由主体流动、湍流及分子扩散这3种机理的协同作用引起. 图4所示是0.05 m 3反应器在230 r/min 的搅拌转速下不同时刻示踪剂浓度值的分布. 从图中可以很直观地观察到示踪剂的混合过程. 图5为不同体积搅拌生物反应器的混合时间模拟结果与实验结果的比较. 从图中可以看出,模拟结果在趋势上与实验结果有很好的一致性,随着搅拌转速的提高,反应器混合时间逐渐变小. 从图也清楚地看出数值模拟得到的搅拌混合时间均比实验验证值要大,产生此误差的原因有很多,主要是由采用的计算方法所引起的. 因为这种方法计算首先要假设流场稳定,而实际搅拌反应器内流场并不是稳定不变的,而是呈无规则变化的非稳态过程,但流场的不稳定可以促进传质的进行,从而使混合时间减小. 就这一点来看,本研究的模拟结果与Schmalzriedt 等[8]、Bujalski 等[9]所描述的情况基本一致. 混合时间的模拟与实验结果的误差比较见表2.图5 混合时间的模拟与实验结果比较Fig.5 Comparison

3的工业规模的生物反应器,模拟与验证之间的误差值小于11.6%,完全符合当前数值模拟的工程应用要求. 产生这种现象可能是小反应器中流场的无规则周期性振荡更甚,偏离本研究数值计算的第一步流场稳定的假设条件更远所致.5 结 论 以流体工程软件CFX −4.4为工具,对不同规模的机械搅拌生物反应器的混合特性进行了数值模拟,建立了最大容积为25 m

双锥干燥机定位原理A double cone dryer is a type of rotating, horizontal cylinder that is used to dry powders, granules, and other materials in the pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and other industries. This type of dryer operates on the principle of conduction, where heat is transferred to the materials being dried through direct contact with the dryer's heated surface.双锥干燥机是一种旋转的、水平的圆筒,用于在制药、食品、化工等行业中干燥粉末、颗粒和其他材料。
这种类型的干燥机是根据传导的原理运作的,即热量通过与干燥机加热表面的直接接触传递给被干燥的材料。
The double cone dryer consists of two conical sections that are joined at the top and separated by a small angle, creating a V-shaped chamber. The materials to be dried are loaded into the dryer through a wide opening at the top, and the dryer is then rotated, allowing the materials to cascade and mix as they move from one end of the chamber to the other. This movement promotes uniform drying and prevents the materials from forming lumps or sticking to the dryer's heated surface.双锥干燥机由两个圆锥形部分组成,顶部连接并通过一个小角度分开,形成一个V形的室内。

1引言航空发动机中央锥齿轮是匹配发动机和附件机构的重要部件,其主要作用是将发动机主轴转速按一定比例与转向传递给发动机附件装置[1]。
目前,中央锥齿轮在设计中主要是作为刚体处理,忽略轮齿受载后的弹性变形,这种方法满足强度、疲劳寿命、质量、体积等条件的静态设计,但其工作在高温、高转速、交变大载荷等恶劣环境,锥齿轮盘形结构易在工作中产生行波共振的动态现象,造成齿轮成块破裂失效故障。
因此,开展锥齿轮的声振特性研究就摘要:航空发动机锥齿轮声振特性的确定对于锥齿轮的研制具有重要意义。
为研究航空发动机中央锥齿轮的声振特性,根据齿轮声振信息辨识原理,利用声导管技术在齿轮部件试验器中获取原始空气声。
分析发现,啮合频率幅值的变化能够对齿轮行波共振特性实现完全表述,不仅可反映从动轮的声振特性,同时也能反映主动轮的声振特性,边频信息则反映了齿轮的故障信息。
与应变片测量结果和设计计算结果对比分析证明,声学测试是获取齿轮声振特性的有效方法。

20世纪初,Prandtl、Ekman提出的边界层理论和Ekman螺线奠定了大气边界层理论基础[2];20世纪中期,随着Monin-Obukhov相似性理论和自由对流大气湍流理论的提出,经典湍流理论基本形成[3]。
20世纪60年代,Lorenz发现了新的湍流发生机制[4];70年代,Deardorff、Wyngaard和Dyer等人将相似性原理引入混合层和对流层的研究并逐渐完善,使其有了极大的应用价值[5]。

Experimental study on convective heat transfer and flow resistance characteristics of water flow in twisted elliptical tubesSheng Yang,Li Zhang *,Hong XuState-Key Laboratory of Chemical Engineering,School of Mechanical and Power Engineering,East China University of Science and Technology,Shanghai 200237,PR Chinaa r t i c l e i n f oArticle history:Received 15January 2011Accepted 21May 2011Available online 30May 2011Keywords:Twisted elliptical tubeHeat transfer enhancement Flow resistanceField synergy principlea b s t r a c tHeat transfer and flow resistance characteristics of water flow inside the twisted elliptical tubes (TETs)with different structural parameters were experimentally investigated.Effects of tube structural parameters (aspect ratio and twist pitch)on the performance of TETs were analyzed and the overall thermal-hydraulic performance of TETs was evaluated.Experimental results showed that the TETs can provide considerable heat transfer augmentation and also high pressure drop inside rger tube aspect ratios and smaller twist pitches resulted in higher heat transfer coef ficients and friction factors.The best operating regime for TETs is at lower Reynolds numbers.It was also discovered that the experimental Nusselt numbers/friction factors can be expressed with one uni fied equation for entire Reynolds number range,which con firms the early flow transition from laminar to turbulent in TETs.Experimental results were compared with some existing correlations,and the causes for the differences between them were analyzed.Heat transfer enhancement mechanism of TETs was discussed from the viewpoint of field synergy.The longitudinal vortex induced by the twisted tube wall improves the synergy between the velocity vector and temperature gradient,which in turn results in a better heat transfer performance.Ó2011Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionShell and tube heat exchangers are widely used in many engi-neering fields.Heat transfer enhancement techniques inside tubes are very important for improving the ef ficiency of heat exchangers and many important progresses have been made during the past 30years.In general,heat transfer enhancement techniques can be divided into two groups,namely active and passive techniques.The active technique requires external forces such as an electric field,acoustic or surface vibration,whereas the passive technique requires special surface geometries such as a rough surface,extended surface,or fluid additives.Both active and passive tech-niques were used by researchers over a century ago to increase the heat transfer rate in heat exchangers [1e 3].The twisted tube is one of the passive heat transfer enhance-ment tubes.It is formed into an elliptical or oblate cross section with a superimposed twist as illustrated in Fig.1and is left round at two ends for conventional fixing into the tube sheet.The geomet-rical features of a twisted tube include the 360 twist pitch (S ),major dimension of the cross section (A ),and minor dimension of the cross section (B ).Besides,the severity of tube twisting is described by the dimensionless twist ratio (S /d or S /d e ),where d is the diameter of the smooth round tube used to produce the twisted tubes and d e is the equivalent hydraulic diameter of the twisted tube.The severity of tube flattening is described by dimensionless aspect ratio (A/B).Twisted tubes are sometimes chosen in the design of industrial shell and tube heat exchangers,which can considerably reduce the size of the heat exchangers.2.Brief review of previous workThermal-hydraulic performance of twisted tubes has been studied by a few researchers as shown in Table 1.Ievlev et al.[4]presented the experimental results of heat transfer and hydraulic resistance of a heat transfer agent flowing inside the twisted flat tubes and inter-tube space.The working fluid used in their study was air,and Reynolds numbers ranged from 6000to 100,000for the tube side and from 3000to 60,000for the inter-tube side.The effectiveness of using these tubes in heat exchange equipment was analyzed,and the results showed that the replacement of smooth tubes by twisted ones leads to a 20%e 40%increase in heat transfer with a 50%e 80%increase in hydraulic resistance which allows*Corresponding author.Tel./fax:þ862164253810.E-mail

friction factor were proposed.Asmantas et al.[5]experimentally studied the heat transfer and flow resistance characteristics of air flow inside twisted flat tubes over a range of S /d o from 6.2to 12.2,Reynolds number from 7000to 200,000.The heat transfer coef ficient for a twisted flat tube is larger than that for a smooth tube over the entire Reynolds number range.The heat transfer is augmented by as much as 40%and the hydraulic resistance also increases by a factor of 1.7on an average at S /d o ¼62.The correlations for the Nusselt numbers and friction factors were also presented.Dzyubenko and Yakimenko [6]also presented the formulas for calculating the Nusselt numbers and friction factors for flow inside twisted oval tubes and inter-tube space respectively.It was discovered that the heat transfer is enhanced obviously when the Reynolds number is smaller than 7000.By means of a method of effective parameters,it was discovered that the thermal-hydraulic ef ficiency of twisted tubes is higher than that of smooth round tubes and smooth tubes with annular knurling.Si et al.[7]experimentally studied the heat transfer and pres-sure drop characteristics of diesel oil flowing in twisted flat tubes.Three kinds of twisted flat tubes with different structural param-eters were tested.It was found that the tube side heat transfer coef ficient and friction factors for these tubes were higher than those for the smooth tube.The twisted tubes have better heat transfer performance at smaller Reynolds number from around 2000to 7000.And the smaller the twist pitch,the better the heat transfer performance.The flow resistance for the twisted tube has a greater increase at smaller Reynolds number from 2000to 7000compared with that of the smooth tube,and with the decrease of the twist pitch,the flow resistance increases.The author analyzed that the swirling flow in the twisted tube increase the fluid turbulence,which enhances the heat transfer while increasing the flow resistance.Zhang et al.[8]conducted an experimental investigation on the heat transfer and flow resistance of water flow inside different twisted tubes.The tests were conducted at Reynolds numbers ranging between 7900and 26,500.Both heat transfer coef ficients and friction factors increase with the decrease of twist pitch or with the increase of aspect ratio at the same Reynolds number.The thermal-hydraulic performance of the twisted tube is better when the Reynolds number is smaller than 10,000.Based on the exper-imental results,correlations for the Nusselt number and friction factor were also obtained.Gao et al.[9]experimentally investigated the heat transfer and flow resistance characteristics of water flow inside twisted tubes with large twist ratio in transition and turbulent flow regime.Nusselt numbers and friction factors for twisted tubes are 1.3e 2.5times and 1.2e 1.5times of those for the smooth tube,respectively.It was also discovered that the Nusselt numbers and friction factors increase with the decrease of twist pitch or with the increase of aspect ratio,which is in agreement with the findings in Ref.[8].Yang et al.[10]studied the heat transfer and flow resistance of fluid flowing inside a twisted elliptical tube in laminar flow regime using the CFD method.The major axis,minor axis and twist pitch of the tube are 23mm,14mm and 320mm,respectively.The Rey-nolds number ranges from 100to 500,and the Prandtl number is less than 200.Results showed that the twisted ellipticaltubeFig.1.Twisted tube section.S.Yang et al./Applied Thermal Engineering 31(2011)2981e 29912982provide a remarkable heat transfer enhancement performance,and the greater the Prandtl number,the better the heat transfer performance.Thefindings about effects of tube structural param-eters(S and A/B)on the heat transfer andflow resistance charac-teristics of the tube were the same with those in Refs.[8,9].Reason for heat transfer enhancement was concluded that the secondary flow induced by thefluid swirling directlyflushes some part of the inner tube wall,temperature gradient near the tube is higher,the distribution offluid velocity and temperature is more uniform, which enhances the heat transfer effectively.Bishara et al.[11]also used the CFD method to obtain the temperature and velocity distribution offluid in the cross section of a twisted elliptical tube with a twist ratio of6.0and an aspect ratio of1.43.According to the temperature and velocity plots,the paper indicates that the secondaryflows promote mixing in the plane normal to the bulkflow direction.This mixing works to maintain a high temperature gradient close to tube wall and then increase the Nusselt number.In the above literatures,heat transfer andflow resistance char-acteristics offluidflow inside the twisted tubes and the inter-tube space have been studied,and wherein tube side is the research emphasis.Experimental and CFD methods were employed,and the workingfluid covered air,diesel oil and water.Effects of tube structural parameters on heat transfer andflow resistance perfor-mance were analyzed,and correlations to predict Nusselt number and friction factor were presented.However,little experimental research was associated with the thermal-hydraulic performance of twisted tubes in laminarflow regime.Equations presented for calculating Nusselt numbers and friction factors had various forms and often there were significant differences among the predicted values for the same twisted tube under the same operational condition.Mechanism of heat transfer enhancement is explored from the traditional point of view,which can be summarized by increasingflow turbulence or decreasing thickness of the devel-oping thermal boundary layer.In view of this,the present work conducts an experimental research on the thermal-hydraulic performance offive twisted elliptical tubes with different struc-tural parameters.The workingfluid is water,and the Reynolds number ranges from around600to55,000,covering the laminar, transition and turbulentflow regime.Correlations for heat transfer andflow resistance are obtained and compared with those existing ones.In addition,temperaturefield and velocityfield of water in TETs are numerically investigated;and the heat transfer enhance-ment mechanism of TETs is further explored from the viewpoint of field synergy principle.3.Experimental apparatus and data reduction3.1.Experimental apparatusA schematic diagram of the experimental apparatus is shown in Fig.2.The experimental apparatus mainly consisted of a cold medium loop,a hot medium loop,a test section and a measure-ment system.The test section was a double tube exchanger.Each tested tube had an effective length of1.75m.The workingfluid on both tube side and shell side was deionized water.The hot water tank had a maximum heating power of20kW and a temperature control system was equipped for it to adjust the heating power to keep a constant water temperature at a givenflow rate,and the hot water temperature can range from30to95 C.Hot water was conveyed to the test section by a centrifugal pump and cooled in the tested tube via counterflow heat exchange with the cold waterTable1Investigations on the twisted tubes with various workingfluid and tube configurations.Sources Tube parameters Workingfluid

Engineering31(2011)2981e29912983flowing on shell side.The upstream tube section of the tested tubewas made long and straight in order to ensure a fully developed flow in tube.An inverted U-bend was mounted on the downstream side to ensure that the tested tube can always be flooded with fluid at any given flow rate.Cold water was pumped through shell side and a plate heat exchanger in a closed loop,heated outside the tested tube and then cooled in the plate heat exchanger by means of water from an independent external cooling tower.A thermo-static control valve adjusts the flow rate of the cooling water to control the inlet temperature of cold water to be constant.The cold water temperature ranged from 30 C to 60 C.Finally,to reduce the heat loss to the ambient,the whole apparatus was well insulated.The experimental apparatus was equipped with a data acquisi-tion system (DAS)based on an Agilent Data Acquisition Unit 34970A and a PC.Parameters required to be measured includes flow rates of hot/cold water,bulk temperatures of hot/cold water at the inlet/outlet of the tested tube/shell,and pressure drop across the tested tube.Two sheathed T-type thermocouples were utilized to measure the hot/cold water bulk temperatures.All thermocou-ples were calibrated in the same constant temperature bath with an accuracy of Æ0.1 C within the tested range.Two turbine flowme-ters were employed to measure the flow rates of hot/cold water,and the uncertainty was estimated as Æ0.2%.Pressure drop across the tested tube is measured using the differential pressure trans-ducer GE Druck PMP 4170with an accuracy of Æ0.04%.For each test run,the whole system was first stabilized for about 30min by continuously running the working fluid.Steady state conditions were assured by checking both temperature and differential pressure readings.The flow rates of hot water and cold water were set to certain values during each test run.The hot water tank was thermostatic with adjustable heating power,thus the hot water could be maintained at a desired temperature at the inlet of the tested tube.Cold water flowing on shell side was heated and then conveyed back to the cold water tank passing through a plate heat exchanger.By adjusting the control valve of the plate heat exchanger,constant temperature of water that flowed back to the cold water tank could be obtained,as well as a constant inlet temperature of the cold water.Besides,the differential pressure across the tested tube was monitored.If the fluctuation of watertemperature at the inlet/outlet of tube/shell side did not exceed Æ0.1 C within 2min,and the fluctuation of the differential pres-sure was less than Æ5%,a steady state for heat transfer and fluid flow was achieved,and then the data collection began.Experi-mental data were acquired by the DAS every 3s,and the average values over 2min were used for calculating both friction factor and heat transfer coef ficient.A smooth tube and five twisted tubes were tested,and all tubes were made from commercially pure copper.The mean outside diameter,wall thickness and length of the smooth tube are 19.02mm,1.01mm and 1880mm,respectively.The twisted tubes were manufactured from smooth tubes and have an elliptical cross section.Geometrical speci fications and pro file of the twisted elliptical tubes are shown in Table 2and Fig.3.3.2.Data reductionConvective heat transfer coef ficients of tube side are obtained by the method suggested by J.A.Meng [12].First,the exponential correlation of Nusselt numbers,Nu,for the outer surface of the tested tube is obtained by varying the flow rate of cold water outside tube and keeping the hot water flow rate inside the tube at its maximum value.Then set the cold water flow rate outside tube at its maximum value and measure the overall thermal resistance.The heat transfer coef ficients for hot water inside tube can be determined by subtracting the convection resistance outside the tube and the conduction resistance through tube wall from the overall thermal resistance.Following are the detailed procedure.Table 2Speci fications of the tested TETs.Tube No.Twist pitch,S (mm)Aspect ratio,A

al./Applied Thermal Engineering 31(2011)2981e 29912984The first step is to obtain the correlation for calculation of theheat transfer coef ficients outside the tube.The logarithmic mean temperature difference,D T LMTD ,between the hot and cold fluid can be derived from Eq.(1)D T LMTD¼ÀT h ;in ÀT c ;out ÁÀÀT h ;out ÀT c ;in ÁlnT h ;in ÀT c ;out T h ;out ÀT c ;in(1)Where T h,in and T h,out are the temperatures of hot water at the inlet and outlet of the tested tube,respectively.T c,in and T c,out are the temperatures of cold water at the inlet and outlet of the shell side,respectively.This temperature difference is kept 10e 25 C in the experiments.Heat transfer rates of tube side and shell side,Q h and Q c are calculated by Eqs.(2)and (3),and their arithmetic mean value is considered as the heat transfer rate of the experiment.Q h ¼_mh c p ;h ÀT h ;in ÀT h ;out Á(2)Q c ¼_m c c p ;c ÀT c ;out ÀT c ;in Á(3)Q ¼Q h þQ c (4)Where _mh and _m c are the mass flow rates of hot and cold water,respectively.The overall heat transfer coef ficient is determined by Eq.(5)U ¼QF o D T LMTD(5)The hot water flow rate inside tube is fixed at its maximum value while the cold water flow rate outside tube is regulated.Fit the heat transfer correlation for the shell side with an exponential relation as the following form of Eq.(6):Nu o ¼c Re 0:8Pr 0:4(6)In the present work,the fouling resistance is neglected since all the tubes are cleaned before each experiment.Then,the overall thermal resistance can be expressed as the sum of the partial thermal resistances corresponding to the inner convection,the heat conduction through tube wall and the outer convection,according to Eq.(7)1U ¼1h o þd o 2k w ln d o d i þd oh i d i(7)Submitting Eq.(6)into Eq.(7),the overall thermal resistance can be written as:1U ¼1cd o k cRe À0:8Pr À0:4 þ d o 2k w ln d o d i þd od i h i (8)Where h i and h o are the heat transfer coef ficient for the tube side and shell side,respectively.d i and d o are the inner diameter and outer diameter of the tube,respectively.k c is the thermal conduc-tivity of the cold water,and k w is the thermal conductivity of tubematerial.dow ln d o iis the conductive thermal resistance across the tube wall.In the experiments,the flow rate of hot water inside the tested tube is fixed at its maximum value and the bulk temperature of the hot water is basically kept constant,therefore the heat transfer coef ficient for the tube side is almost constant.It could be seen from Eq.(8)that 1/U only varies with Re À0.8Pr À0.4linearly.Take X ¼d o =k c Re À0:8Pr À0:4as abscissa and Y ¼1/U as ordinate,one can obtain a linear relation between Y and X by changing the flow rate outside the tube.The constant c can be determined by a curve fitting method.Once c is obtained,the heat transfer coef ficient outside the tube can be calculated by Eq.(9)h o ¼c k coRe 0:8Pr 0:4(9)The internal heat transfer performance can be determined experimentally after the thermal resistance outside tube is known.In such experiments,the flow rate of the cold water outside tube is fixed at its maximum to reduce the external convection resistance while the flow rate of the hot water inside tube is regulated.The overall heat transfer coef ficient U can be decided by Eqs.(1)e (5).Then the heat transfer coef ficient for the tube side,h i ,can be obtained by Eq.(10)1h i¼d i d o 1U À1h o Àd o 2k w ln d od i(10)The Nusselt number inside the tube isNu ¼h i d i k h(11)The friction factor for the tube side is easy to be calculated according to Eq.(12):f ¼d i L $2D p r u 2(12)Where D p is the pressure drop of hot water across the tested tube;L is the tube length;u is the mean flow rate of water inside tube.The uncertainty is estimated with the method suggested by Moffat [13]and Kline [14].As mentioned above,the measurement error of temperature is 0.1 C,the turbine flow meter has a preci-sion of 0.2%,and the measurement accuracy of the differential pressure meter is 0.04%.In addition,the measurement uncer-tainties of tube diameter and tube length are about 0.6%and 0.08%,respectively.The relative error of each physical parameter (e.g.,density,speci fic heat of fluid)is about 0.5%.According to the uncertainty propagation equation,the maximum relative uncer-tainties for the experimental Nusselt number and friction factor are 11.4%and 8.2%,respectively.Fig.3.Photograph of tested TETs.S.Yang et al./Applied Thermal Engineering 31(2011)2981e 299129854.Experimental results4.1.Verification of smooth tubeIn order to validate the reliability of the experimental system, heat transfer andflow resistance characteristics of waterflowing inside a smooth tube werefirst investigated.The Nusselt numbers for laminar,transition and turbulentflow in a smooth tube obtained from the present experiments were compared with predictions of the Sieder e Tate correlation[15,16],Eq.(13),and Gnielinski corre-lation[11,17],Eq.(14),respectively.The experimental friction factors were compared with the Darcy friction factors(f¼64=Re)and predictions of the Petukhov correlation[18],Eq.(15).Nu¼1:86Re1=3Pr1=3fd iL1=3 mfm w0:14(13)Nu¼ðf=8Þ$ðReÀ1000Þ$Pr f1þ12:7ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffif=8p$Pr2=3fÀ11þd iL2=3!Pr fPr w0:11ð14Þf¼ð1:82lgReÀ1:64ÞÀ2(15) Fig.4shows the comparison of experimental Nusselt numbers and friction factors with those from correlations of Eqs.(13)e(15). The experimental Nusselt numbers for laminarflow agree with the Sieder e Tate correlation with a deviation betweenÀ6.5%and11%, and the average deviation is 1.6%.The experimental Nusselt numbers for transition and turbulentflow agree with the Gnielinski correlation with a deviation betweenÀ6.1%and10.6%,and the average deviation isÀ2.6%.For the friction factors,the deviation is betweenÀ9.3%and3.5%,and the average deviation is1.8%.The results prove the reliability of the experimental system.4.2.Heat transfer performance of the TETsThe heat transfer performance of TETs is presented in the form of Nusselt number.Variation of Nusselt numbers with Reynolds numbers for the tested TETs and smooth tube are given in Fig.5. Reynolds numbers are from around600to55,000,which covers the threeflow patterns of laminarflow,transitionflow and turbulentflow.Referring to Fig.5,one can observe that the Nusselt numbers for all the tested tubes increase as the rise of Reynolds numbers.The increase in Nusselt number indicates an enhance-ment in heat transfer coefficient due to the increase of convection. All the tested TETs have a better heat transfer performance than the smooth tube.TET No.1has the best heat transfer performance amongst thefive TETs and followed successively by TET No.2,TET No.3,TET No.4and TET No.5.It should be noted that the Nusselt number for TET No.5is only slightly higher than that for the smooth tube especially when Reynolds numbers exceed around 10,paring the structural parameters of TET No.3,TET No.4 and TET No.5listed in Table1,one can discover that these three tubes have same twist pitch of192mm but different aspect ratios. The Nusselt numbers increase with the rise of tube aspect ratios.TET No.3has the largest aspect ratio of2.15among these three tubes and has the highest Nusselt number,or best heat transfer performance.Thisfinding about effect of tube aspect ratio on tube heat transfer performance is in agreement with the reports in literatures[8,9].Comparing with TET No.3,both TET No.1and TET No.2have smaller tube aspect ratio but better heat transfer performance,which is due to the smaller twist pitch of TET No.1 and TET No.2.The conventional view believes that the swirling flow,that is the secondaryflow induced by the twisted tube wall,intensifies the turbulence and promotes the radial mixing of the bulkflow.The mixing works to maintain a high temperature gradient close to the tube wall and in turn enhance the heat transfer.Both a larger tube aspect ratio and a smaller twist pitch can lead to a more intensive turbulence and effective mixing to obtain a better heat transfer performance.From the experimental results, one can also discover that the effect of the twist pitch on the heat transfer performance of a TET is more notable than that of the tube aspect ratio.Nu/[Pr1/3(µf/µw)1/3]ReNu/F(f,Pr)ReRefabcFig.4.Experimental results of heat transfer andflow resistance for smooth tube:(a), (b)Nusselt number;(c)friction factor.(a)Comparison of Nusselt numbers

effectiveness of heat transfer enhancement for the TETs relative to the smooth tube was compared in Fig.6.The effective-ness is indexed by a ratio of the Nusselt number for the enhanced tube to that for the smooth tube,in terms ofNu e =Nu s.As shown inFig.6,the Nusselt number ratios for all the tested TETs tend to increase when Reynolds number increase from around 600to 2300,then to decrease with the rise of Reynolds number from around 2300to 10,000,and finally shows a slightly decrease for higher Reynolds numbers.This indicates that the heat transfer enhance-ment of the TETs is more signi ficant at lower fluid velocities cor-responding to the laminar and transition flow regime.The Nusselt number ratios for TET No.1that has the best heat transfer perfor-mance are around 3.9e 4.8for Reynolds numbers from 600to 2300and 2.8e 1.4for Reynolds number higher than 2300.The corre-sponding Nusselt number ratios are 3.6e 4.6,2.5e 1.3for TET No.2,3.4e 4.3,2.2e 1.2for TET No.3,2.8e 3.5,2.0e 1.1for TET No.4and 2.5e 3.0,1.5e 1.0for TET No.5.For the TETs,it is found that the experimental results for the Nusselt number can be correlated with an uni fied equation,which is a function of the Reynolds number (Re),Prandtl number (Pr),twist ratio (S /d e )and aspect ratio(A i /B i ),for Reynolds numbers from 600to 55,000as shown in Eq.(16):Nu ¼0:3496Re 0:615Pr 1=3 A iB i0:490 Sd e À0:394(16)4.3.Hydraulic performance of the TETsThe hydraulic performance of the TETs is presented in the form of friction factor.Variation of the friction factor with Reynolds numbers for the TETs and the smooth tube is presented in Fig.7.In the figure,it is apparent that the friction factors for all the TETs are greater than those for the smooth tube.Friction factors are higher at lower Reynolds number and tend to decrease with the rise of Reynolds numbers from around 600to 15,000,then show a slightly decrease for higher Reynolds numbers.The difference in friction factors for TET No.1to TET No.4are trivial,therefore a partial enlarged drawing was employed to show the details of difference.From the partial enlarged drawing,one can clearly discover that the TET No.3has the greatest friction factors and followed successively by the TET No.2,TET No.4,TET No.1and TET No.5,which is just in accordance with the order of the tube aspect ratios from large to small.This demonstrates that the TET with a larger tube aspect ratio has a larger friction factor,which is in agreement with the finding in previous literatures,Refs.[8,9].The increase of flow resistance in TET can be attributed to the swirling flow caused by the twist channel and the blocking effect of the special tube wall.Just as mentioned above,when fluid flows in the TET with larger tube aspect ratio,a more intensive turbulence is induced to increase the flow resistance.In theory,a smaller twist pitch can improve the blocking effect to cause a greater friction factor.However,the effect of twist pitch on the friction factor for the TETs is not obvious in the present experiment.The effect of tube aspectReN u e /N u sFig.6.Variation of Nusselt number ratio (Nu e /Nu s )with Reynolds number for the

Experimental study on turbulent mixing of spray droplets in crossflowBo-Feng Bai *,Hai-Bin Zhang,Li Liu,Hui-Juan SunState Key Laboratory of Multiphase Flow in Power Engineering,Xi’an Jiaotong University,Xi’an 710049,Chinaa r t i c l e i n f o Article history:Received 5December 2008Received in revised form 12May 2009Accepted 14May 2009Keywords:Spray CrossflowInjection angle Mixing degreea b s t r a c tCentrifugal spray injected at various angles in gas crossflow has been studied experimentally using PIV visualization system and image-processing techniques.Experiments were carried out inside a rectangular duct (95mm Â95mm in cross-section)at ambient temperature and pressure,with different gas Rey-nolds numbers (vary from 12,900to 45,000)and three injection angles (60°,90°and 120°).The spray angle of the centrifugal nozzle is 80°,with D 32of 80l m.The instantaneous images of droplets distribu-tion and the values of the line-averaged D 32at different positions on the cross-sections along the flow field for each condition were obtained,and their flow field configurations were achieved.Quantitative assessments of mixing degree between two phases for different injection angles were determined using a spatial unmixedness parameter.It is found that the addition of droplets into the gas crossflow enhanced the turbulence intensity of the gas crossflow and caused different-scale vortices.The flow field structure,to a great extent,is dependent on the injection angle.The entrainment and centrifugal force of large vor-tex lead to uneven droplet distribution and moreover influence the mixing of droplets and gas crossflow.A better mixing result can be obtained with the injection angle of nozzles of 60°.Ó2009Elsevier Inc.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionWater sprays are extensively applied in engineerings such as dust control,fire fighting,nuclear reactor core cooling,spray dry-ing,air scrubbing and evaporative cooling.In a typical spray,pres-surized water is injected into nozzles from which it emerges as a thin bell-shaped hollow cone which disintegrates into polydisperse drops moving at different velocities.This droplet motion in air causes heat and mass transfer through evaporation and cooling.Much research effect has been devoted to the crossflow problem.Therefore,an understanding of the dynamics of drop–air interac-tion is crucial for optimizing this process.The break-up and dispersion of the liquid jet in subsonic flow have been studied by Heister et al.[1]and Li and Karagozian [2].Fuller et al.[3–6]studied the flow character of liquid jet in sub-sonic crossflow.The flow fields for different injection angles,jet velocities and Mach number of airflow were obtained.It was agreed that the injection angle has influences on flow characteristics.By using laser measurement technology such as laser-Doppler velocimeter (LDV),Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF)and particle imaging velocimetry (PIV),detailed microscopic features including velocity field,turbulent energy distribution,vorticesstructure,etc.were obtained by Ajersch et al.[7–12].The tech-niques for the improvement of the mixing effect between the jet and the crossflow were suggested.An airblast-atomized spray jet into a crossflow has been well re-searched and documented.A systematical discussion was found in Ref.[13]which interpreted the atomization and transportation processes which determined the dispersion of an airblast-atomized spray jet into a subsonic crossflow of air,and proposed the mech-anism of these processes and their effect on the penetration and dispersion.Another similar spray mode,aerated liquid jet,has also been studied quite extensively.The spray structures and spray penetration heights in the crossflow at various angles were inten-sively discussed,experimentally and theoretically [14–17].However,for centrifugal nozzle,the liquid first emerges through which is in the form of a sheet which quickly disintegrates into droplets due to aerodynamic instabilities in the ‘break up re-gion’which interact strongly with the atmosphere.Just down-stream in the ‘spray region’,the liquid is only in the form of droplets.Considerable effort has been directed towards the inves-tigation of the break-up region and just beyond [18–22].On the other hand analyses of the behavior of droplets further away are relatively scarce,especially in a crossflow.Ghosh et al.[23]have developed a analytical models for all the practical ranges of the ra-tio of the jet speed to the crossflow speed to study the fundamental problem in fluid mechanics that how fluid jets were deflected and deformed.Kachhwaha et al.[24,25]studied the movement and evaporation behavior of the spray droplets in both parallel and counter-flow configurations.They proposed a two-dimensional0894-1777/$-see front matter Ó2009Elsevier Inc.All rights reserved.doi:10.1016/j.expthermflusci.2009.05.002*Corresponding

arrangement of nozzles of different size,pressures and cooling.By using DPDA and PIV system Wang et al.[28]studied the two-phaseflow in the counter-flow spray saturator for HAT cycle,and presented the sim-ulation of the moving distance of water droplets in the counter-flow air.They measured the transient velocityfields and obtained the spatial change of the droplet size spectrum in theflowfield to correlate droplet size–velocity correlation.Porcheron et al.[29] investigated the heat and mass transfer between the spray and the upward hot gasflow in the cooling tower using PIV equipment. They measured the detailed characterization of the two-phaseflow and analyzed the mixing effects between the spray droplets and the gas owing to the spray activation.It is commonly agreed that all of these previous research efforts are conducive to the under-standing of the interaction between the crossflow and the spray droplets.Still many researchers studied the macro-characteristics of the interaction between the spray and the crossflow,for example the heat transfer between two phases and the velocityfield along the crossflow direction.In their researches,the mixing space was large enough to allow of the negligibility of the effect of wall.However, in practice,there are also many applications that the two-phase mixing process is conducted in limited space.Unfortunately, according to investigations,no previous detailed studies have been conducted on vortex dynamic mechanisms of two-phase mixing, droplets distribution on cross-section and features offlowfield, which are crucial for the knowledge of the mechanism of two-phase interaction.When the nozzle is injected into the confined crossflow at certain angles,the asymmetric structure and the influ-ence of the wall will make the mixing more complex,which will definitely highlight the significance of the research efforts in this field.2.Experimental system and method2.1.Experimental systemThe experimental system,as shown in Fig.1,consists of a gas loop,a water loop,a test section,an adjustable-coordinate experi-ment device(Fig.2)and a water tank.The air from the compressor flows through the regulator valve and then into the test section and the branch gas channel,respectively.Wire mesh and honey-comb are located at the inlet of the tunnel for the ensurement of a uniform velocity profile throughout the test section.The dis-charged water from the pump passes via theflowmeter with the uncertainty of1%,and thenflows through the regulating valves and into the nozzle.The mixing between the spray droplets and the crossflow is thus achieved in the test section.The test section is0.095Â0.095m in the cross-section with a length of1.0m,and is made of the transparent polymethyl meth-acrylate,as shown in Fig.3.The demountable nozzles are installed on the top and bottom(see Fig.1).Based on the comparison of the atomization effect by various types of centrifugal nozzles,commercially available nozzle(made in H.Ikeuchi&Co.,Ltd.(1/4MK B80100S303-RW))which has a desirable atomization effect is adopted here.The volumefluxis Fig.1.Schematic diagram of the experimentalsetup.Fig.2.The adjustable-coordinate experimental device.B.-F.Bai et al./Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science33(2009)1012–102010130.0226m 3/h at the pressure of 0.7MPa,with D 32(the Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD ))of 80l m and the spray angle of 80°(see Fig.4).The needle valve is located before the nozzle to control the water flow rate precisely and ensure the stability of the water pressure.The injection angle of the nozzle is shown in Fig.5.The nozzle ped-estals are available for different injection angles (60°,90°and 120°).The nozzles are installed at 0.5m downstream from the inlet of the test section.2.2.Measurement systemThe instantaneous velocities of water droplets are determined by the FLOWMASTER PIV system,which has the function of pro-cessing digital images to get the fluid velocity vector field,YAG la-ser (200mJ,8ns pulse)and CCD camera (Nikon ImagerPro4M,15Hz,2048Â2048pixels,cross-correlation).A laser sheet,approximately 1mm thickness,is arranged to illuminate particle distribution on the center plane,along the x -axial.The CCD camera is installed perpendicularly to the illuminated region.To obtain the velocity field and the droplets distribution and the size of the spray droplets on the cross-sections of the turbulentmixing flow field.Problems as follows need to be resolved.(1)The occurrence of the liquid film on the wall disturbs the produc-tion of clear images.(2)The mixture of gas and droplets effects the work of the CCD which is positioned at the rear of the outlet of the experimental section.(3)The transparent duck wall weakens the laser intensity.(4)The adjustment of the light sheet decreases the stability of the system.The solutions to these possible prob-lems are as follows:(1)17slots,as shown in Fig.3,are devised on the side of the experimental section to remove the liquid film.The width of the slot is 2mm,and the interval of the adjacent slots is 20mm.When one section is measured other slots are sealed.(2)A branch gas channel is installed to change the outlet flow direc-tion for the prevention of the CCD lens from being polluted,as shown in Figs.1and 2.(3)Matt black paint is applied on the inner wall of the test section for the enhancement of the laser intensity.(4)An adjustable-coordinate experimental device is designed to make the adjustment of the experimental system easily which avoided the adverse influence owing to the frequent adjustment of the PIV system and the Malvern instrument.The mean gas flow rate is measured by vortex shedding flow-meter with a variation of less than 2%.Mass flow of water is mea-sured using an electromagnetic flowmeter.Keller pressure sensors are applied to control the pressure of spray at a fixed value of 0.7MPa.ADLINK data acquisition card is used to record and store the experimental data.2.3.Experimental methodThe droplets and crossflow have a fierce interaction in the test section.A laser sheet is derived from the second harmonic of a Nd–YAG pulsed laser (532nm).The spray,developing along the axial direction of the test section,is lightened by the laser sheet along the measured cross-sections successively.The scat-tered light is collected at a vertical angle by the synchronized CCD camera located at the rear of the crossflow.An injector/la-ser/CCD electronic control configuration allows collecting images in different intervals from the Start of Injection (SOI).In our exper-iments,40instantaneous images are acquired for each cross-sec-tion at five frames per second.Image-processing software (MATLAB Ò)is employed to obtain time-averaged profiles.Digital image post-processing allows extraction of the droplets distribu-tion and vectors of mixing flow field versus injection angles,Re of gas.Experiments are carried out at the ambient temperature of 20°C,with the Reynolds numbers (gas crossflow)varying from 12,900to 45,000(the corresponding gas flow rate vary from 65to 227m 3/h)with the injection angles of 60°,90°and 120°from the negative direction to the crossflow.The temperature of water is 20°C.The experimental conditions are shown in Table 1.2.4.Image-processing methodThe spatial distribution of droplets can be used to describe the mixing effect between the droplets and the crossflow.An unmixed-ness parameter U that quantifies the temporal unmixedness was first defined by Danckwertz [30],then a modified version U susedFig.3.Measurement cross-sectionschematic.Fig.4.Spray angle of nozzleschematic.Fig.5.Injection angle of nozzles schematic.Table 1Experimental conditions.Number of nozzle Injection angle

mixing in a planar image was employed by Liscinsky et al.[31].Vranos et al.[32]validated the use of U s by showing that the value of U calculated across a planar image from an ensemble of instantaneous intensity levels at each pixel pro-duced a value that was nearly identical to the spatial variance of an image of time-averaged intensities.Leong et al.[13]put forward a more logical parameter of spray quality (SQ)for liquid jet inject into a crossflow,and examined the influence of the mean (D 32)value which indicate the atomization quality (D 32,avg /D 32,max )in a spray,the extent of area (EA),which represents spray coverage across a certain area.They calculated the spatial unmixedness on different conditions and obtained a reasonable mixing characteristic.In addition,the mixing character-istic were not changed obviously after they considered the influ-ence of the size of spray droplets measured by using the Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF)and the Phase Doppler Interfer-ometry (PDI),which were could not be adopted in our experiment owing to the restricted mixing space.So in this paper,the spatial unmixedness,which can indicate the mixing effect to a large ex-tent,is used.The spatial unmixedness of an m Ân image with a plane-aver-aged intensity of I avg is defined as formulas (1)and (2).U s ¼I varI avg ð1ÀI avg Þð1ÞI var¼1m Ân Xm i ¼1X n j ¼1ðI ði ;j ÞÀI avg Þ2!ð2ÞHere,I (i ,j )is the intensity in a zone.Further details about these questions can be obtained in [13].In this paper,the division of the cross-sections is shown in Fig.6.The zone number is 676(26Â26).3.Results and discussionTime-averaged images of the cross-section along the flow field on different experimental conditions are obtained (see Fig.7for an example).In these images,the shape of two-phase distribution is distinct and symmetrical,which proves that the influence of slots on the flow field is small enough and our experimental meth-ods are soundly justified.Through a set of images,the whole devel-oping process of mixing flow can be clearly read.More detailed analysis about the mixing of spray droplets in the crossflow is available in the following sections.3.1.Study of mixing process for a =90°When a cross-stream of air is introduced to the liquid jet sys-tem,the counter-rotating vortex pair (CVP)is produced owing to the interaction between the crossflow and the jet flow [13].Similar phenomenon occurs in the crossflow-centrifugal spray system,where the CVP on the cross-section of the flow field exist on ac-count of the spray-crossflow interaction,as shown in Figs.8–10.With the development of the mixing,the CVP becomes bigger along the crossflow,which causes the air to be entrained,mean-while the small droplets are sucked into the entrained air and dis-persed further into the cross-section.In the case of single nozzle (see Fig.9),the big droplets with large initial velocity will hit the both sides of the wall owing to the limited space of the rectangular duct,the air disturbed by these droplets will generate the vortex in the corner,as shown in Fig.9(Re =12,900,x =0m).When the crossflow velocity is low,the vortices in the corners will disappear in a short distance.As the velocity increases,the initial position of the vortices will move backward and the sustained distance will be greater.At the same time,more droplets will enrich in the middle of the bottom owing to the entrainment of the vortices (see Fig.9(Re =25,700)).However,as the velocity of the crossflow increases further,the vortices are less likely to occur because the droplets cannot afford to carry the airflow to generate large vortex (see Fig.9(Re =45,000)).In the case of double nozzles (see Fig.10),ow-ing to the opposite directions of the air caused by the droplets from different nozzles,the two current meet in the middle sectionandFig.6.Schematic diagram of imagesegmentation.Fig.7.Time-averaged images in every measured cross-section for a =90°(doublenozzles).Fig.8.Single centrifugal nozzle spray in crossflow.B.-F.Bai et al./Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science 33(2009)1012–10201015unlike the case of single nozzle the big vortices cannot be formed in the corners.So there only two apparent CVPs occurs on the crossflow of the flow field.With the development of the mixing,the droplets on the cross-section first distribute in the shape of ‘‘”and then in the shape of ‘‘”owing to the effect of the wall and the CVPs.Furthermore,with the velocity of crossflow increase,the development of CVPs become slowly along the flow field and correspondingly the distance required for a desirable mixing be-tween the two phases increases.The vortices exert direct influences on the distribution of drop-lets.The particles trapped in the center of vortices are less dense than that in the edge,because the centrifugal effect propels the particles to move towards the edge [33].On one hand,vortexes help carry the droplets.On the other hand,strong vortexes lead to a non-uniform distribution.The vector and streamline diagram of typical cross-sections on different conditions are shown in paring Figs.9and 10,the relationship between the vor-tices and the droplets distribution can be seen clearly.The development characters of the vorticity along the flow field on different velocities conditions are shown in Fig.12.The vorticity decrease quickly in the region close to the nozzles where the inter-action between the droplets and the crossflow is very strong and then keep invariable in a long distance which means a stable mix-ing flow field is achieved.As the velocity of the crossflow increase,the vorticity increase in the initial mixing stage but the difference is small in the stable stage.3.2.A comparison between different injected angles (double nozzles)Ensemble-averaged images for a =60°and 120°are shown in Figs.13and 14,respectively.The CVPs also occur on the cross-sec-tions of the flow field on the two conditions.Along the flow field,the CVPs development with its size increase and become unstable faster compared with that of the conditions of a =90°.When a =60°,the sustained distance of the CVPs is shorter,and the atten-uation of vortex is faster,meanwhile on the cross-sections thepar-Fig.9.Time-averaged images at different cross-sections for a =90°(singlenozzle).Fig.10.Time-averaged images at different cross-sections for a =90°(double nozzles).1016 B.-F.Bai et al./Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science 33(2009)1012–1020ticle achieves uniformity in its distribution quickly.When a =120°,the locations of the two CVPs move upward and downward,respectively (see Fig.11c–f)to the wall and more droplets concen-trate in both sides and the middle of the cross-section but the droplets near the wall (up and down)decrease.With the velocity of the crossflow increase,the CVPs decrease in its size and develop-ment slowly.When a =60°,the water contrastream injection makes the ini-tial mixing between the gas and the droplets in advance.The inter-action between two phases is enhanced and the entrainment for more air into droplets is intensified which leads to a promoted mixing and a more uniform distribution for droplets on the cross-sections.So the optimum mixing effect occurs when a =60°.In contrast,when a =120°,the mixing effect is less.It is worth noting that the most stable structure of the flow field and the greatest sustained distance for CVPs can be find when a =90°.3.3.Mixing degree diagramThe mixing degrees for the three injection angles (double noz-zles)are plotted in Figs.15and 16.According to these figures,we can see that the mixing effect get optimized along the flow field.When a =60°,the spatial unmixedness (U s )is less than that of a =90°and 120°,which means that a better mixing between two phases is accessible when a =60°.The same conclusioncanFig.11.Vector and streamline diagram:(a)and

=60°en-trains the gas crossflow fluid more efficiently,leading to a more ra-pid and compact mixing.This phenomenon bear an analogy to that of the jet flow,Donghee et al.[34]researched the flow field of tur-bulent jets injected at various inclinations into a uniform crossflow using flow visualization and image-processing techniques,and found that a jet with negative injection angle (in the present paper a <90°)entrains the crossflow fluid more efficiently.It is suspected that the optimum mixing effects will occur when nozzle injects at a proper acute angle,and the optimum injection angle will be fur-ther studied in our subsequent work.3.4.Mean D 32comparisonThe line-averaged D 32at different positions on the cross-sec-tions along the flow field for three injection angles (double nozzles)have been measured by using the Malvern (2604LC)instrument.The test positions on the cross-section were shown in Fig.17.The evolution of the line-averaged D 32is shown in Fig.18.A fairly constant mean D 32along the direction of the flow field is ob-tained when a =60°,which means that the mixing flow field be-comes relatively stable in a short distance after the nozzles.When a =90°and 120°,a stable mixing stage is achieved further than that of a =60°,as can be deduced from the curves which exhibiting a decreasing trend of the mean D 32in the first and then becoming stable in

test positions on the cross-section.1018 B.-F.Bai et al./Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science 33(2009)1012–1020Owing to the influence of the wall,little droplets are rebound by the airflow near the wall rger droplets move toward the walls owing to the large inertia.These features result in a phenom-enon that many large droplets are concentrated near the wall and small droplets are located far away from the wall,as shown in Fig.18.When a =120°,compared with other injection angles,the values of mean D 32at the bottom of the cross-section are smaller owing to the collision and the bonding between substantial large droplets and the wall.4.ConclusionsAn experimental system for the mixing of spray droplets in a gas crossflow is established.Several techniques are proposed to solve the two-phase flow measurement problems emerged from which the PIV system is used to obtain the mixing structure of the flow field.Quantitative assessments of mixing degree between two phases for different conditions were determined.The conclu-sions about the mixing characteristics are as follows:1.The CVP is produced by the introduction of a gas crossflow into a liquid centrifugal spray system.The CVP causes air to be entrained and the small droplets following the entrained air are pushed further into the cross-section.Along the flow field,the CVP increases in size and become unstable gradually and the mixing effect becomes better.With the velocity of the cross-flow increase,the size of the CVP decreases and the stability are enhanced;meanwhile the sustained distance becomes greater.2.In the case of double nozzles,the injection angle imposes greater influences on the mixing between the two phases than the crossflow velocity in our experimental parameters.When a <90°(see a =60°),the interaction between the gas and the droplets is enhanced and the mixing is promoted.Correspond-ingly,the optimum mixing effect can be achieved when a =60°among three injection angles.In addition,it is worth noting that,the most stable of the flow field structure and the greatest sustained distance of the CVPs can be found when a =90°.3.The entraining effect and centrifugal force of the vortices lead to the inhomogeneous distribution of the droplets,i.e.more drop-lets at the margin of the vortex and fewer droplets in the center.The uniform mixing is obtained after the disappearance of the CVPs.Therefore,it is suspected that a more desirable mixing can be achieved by preventing the development of the vortices (CVPs).4.Many large droplets are concentrated near the wall and small droplets are located in the center of the cross-sections of the flow field.Since the heat transfer between the two phases in high temper-ature environment,such as droplet evaporation,will complicate the mixing characters between spray droplets and gas crossflow,the experimental work will be further studied to understand the deep mechanism of two-phase interaction in more practical conditions.AcknowledgmentThis work was financially supported by the National Nature Sci-ence Foundation of China for Creative Research Groups under the Contract
