Relative nozzle distance

The relative nozzle distance should be h/d < 6 because for higher distances the heat transfer decreases. At a distance less than h/d = 4, the local variation in the stagnation region increases. [Pg.40]

In Fig. 1.8, the average Nusselt number is shown in exemplary fashion as a function of the pitch t/d in an in-line assembly, with the relative nozzle distance h/ d as a parameter for two Reynolds numbers. It is evident that a pitch of t/d = 6 will always result in a pronounced maximum. [Pg.42]

Here, h/d is again the relative nozzle distance, and F is the square-root of the area ratio of the nozzle openings to the total area ... [Pg.47]

Various correlations for mean droplet size generated by plain-jet, prefilming, and miscellaneous air-blast atomizers using air as atomization gas are listed in Tables 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, and 4.10, respectively. In these correlations, ALR is the mass flow rate ratio of air to liquid, ALR = mAlmL, Dp is the prefilmer diameter, Dh is the hydraulic mean diameter of air exit duct, vr is the kinematic viscosity ratio relative to water, a is the radial distance from cup lip, DL is the diameter of cup at lip, Up is the cup peripheral velocity, Ur is the air to liquid velocity ratio defined as U=UAIUp, Lw is the diameter of wetted periphery between air and liquid streams, Aa is the flow area of atomizing air stream, m is a power index, PA is the pressure of air, and B is a composite numerical factor. The important parameters influencing the mean droplet size include relative velocity between atomization air/gas and liquid, mass flow rate ratio of air to liquid, physical properties of liquid (viscosity, density, surface tension) and air (density), and atomizer geometry as described by nozzle diameter, prefilmer diameter, etc. [Pg.264]

Most current multidimensional spray simulations have adopted the thin or very thin spray assumptions,[55°1 i.e., the volume occupied by the dispersed phase is assumed to be small. This can be justified if a simulation starts some distance downstream of the nozzle exit, where the gas volume fraction is large enough, or if the computational cells are relatively large. Accordingly, two major classes of models have been used in spray modeling locally homogeneous flow (LHF) models and two-phase-flow or separated-flow (SF) models. [Pg.342]

An increase in droplet size with axial position is observed for all three gases. However, the relative trend of smallest droplet mean size with steam and largest with normal (unheated) air remains unchanged. As an example, at 50 mm downstream from the nozzle exit at r = 0, droplet mean size for steam, preheated air, and normal air were found to be 69, 86, and 107 pm, respectively see Fig 16.3. The droplet size with steam is also significantly smaller than air at all radial positions see Fig. 16.3. The droplet size with preheated air is somewhat smaller than normal air due to the decreased effect of preheated air at this location and increased effect of combustion. Early ignition of the mixture with preheated air (see Fig. 16.1) must provide a longer droplet residence time which results in a smaller droplet size. In addition, the increased flame radiation with preheated air increased droplet vaporization at greater distances downstream from the nozzle exit. Indeed, the results indicate that the measured droplet sizes with preheated atomization air are smaller than normal air in the center... [Pg.259]

The droplet number density presented in Fig. 16.4 indicates the solid-cone nature of the spray except in the immediate vicinity downstream of the nozzle exit. On the spray centerline at 2 = 10 mm, steam provides a lower number density as compared to the two air cases. This is due to the expansion of the spray jet at a relatively lower Reynolds number with steam and rapid vaporization of smaller sized droplets. At increased radial positions and 2 = 10 mm, a peak in the number density corresponds to the spray cone boundary. This peak shifts radially outwards with an increase in axial distance due to the expansion of the spray cone. Similar phenomena are observed for the normal and preheated air cases except that droplet number density for the preheated air case is much higher on the spray central axis (at r = 0). This is attributed to the effect of preheated air on atomization (i.e., larger mean droplet size and smaller number density with normal air as compared to that for heated atomization... [Pg.261]

The electrode is uniformly accessible to the diffusing ions within dimensionless electrode radius, 0.1 < R/d < 1.0, for turbulent nozzle flow and, 0.1 < R/d < 0.5, for laminar nozzle flow. Within the region of uniform accessibility, the mass transport rate is relatively independent of the electrode size in both laminar and turbulent flow for 0.2 < Hjd < 6, where H is the nozzle-to-plate distance. Beyond the region of uniform accessibility, the mass transfer rate decreases with the radial distance. In the intermediate range, 1 < R/d < 4, the turbulent impinging jet changes from the stagnation flow to the wall-jet flow and for R/d > 4 the wall-jet flow predominates (- wall-jet electrode). [Pg.351]
