Abstract

The present study aims at investigating numerically the effect of fluid temperature on the high-efficiency Stairmand type cyclone collection efficiency and pressure drop. Studies were conducted for six different temperature values in the range of 273.15 – 373.15 K (0 – 100 °C). Discretization of the solution domain generated fine meshes for consistent results. Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) was used to solve turbulent flow. The solution was performed as a transient in 1000 time-steps of 5 ms and 10000 iterations. Rosin-Rammler size distribution was used for particle size distribution. It was seen that the temperature increases negatively affected the collection efficiency and pressure drops. Fluid viscosity is increased effectively by increasing fluid temperature, then fluid-particle interaction increased. Increasing in temperature causes the particles move with the fluid and thus, collection efficiency decreased. Because of swirling flow weakening, conclusive results clearly seen that increasing the temperature of fluid reduces the pressure drop and collection efficiency. When increase the temperature, the pressures on the cyclone walls decreased.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, yüksek verimli Stairmand (HE) tipi siklonda akışkan sıcaklığının toplama verimi ve basınç kayıplarına olan etkileri nümerik yöntemler kullanılarak ortaya koyulmuştur. 273,15 – 373,15 K (0 – 100 °C) aralığında altı farklı sıcaklık değeri için çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Sonuçların tutarlı olması için siklon geometrisi küçük elemanlar kullanılarak gridlenmiştir. Türbülanslı akışın çözümlenmesi için Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) kullanılmıştır. Çözümleme transient olarak 5 ms’lik 1000 adım ile 10000 iterasyon sonucunda ortaya koyulmuştur. Partikül boyut dağılımı için Rosin-Rammler boyut dağılımı kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda sıcaklık artışının toplama verimini olumsuz yönde etkilediği ve basınç kayıplarını azalttığı görülmüştür. Sıcaklık artışı akışkan vizkozitesini artırdığı için akışkan-partikül etkileşimi artmıştır. Buda partiküllerin akışkanla birlikte hareket etmesine ve toplama veriminin azalmasına neden olmuştur. Sıcaklık artışı ile birlikte, dönen akışın zayıflaması dolayısıyla basınç kaybının ve toplama verimliliğinin gözle görülür şekilde azaldığı görülmektedir. Sıcaklık artışıyla birlikte siklon duvarlarında oluşan basınçlar düşmüştür.
