为揭示搅拌流内夹带液滴的产生机理和定量规律,基于气液界面Kelvin.Helmholtz不稳定性理论,结合气液界面波波峰的力平衡条件,建立能够反映液滴夹带物理意义的液滴夹带率模型。对该模型行定量和定性验证,系统研究液滴夹带率受气液相流速、管径以及压力的影响规律。搅拌流内界面波主要受到气相拖曳力、重力以及表面张力的影响,认为当波峰所受合力为0时,界面波产生最大夹带量;液滴夹带率随着管径、液相流量的增加而增加,随着气速、压强的增加而减小;所提出的液滴夹带率模型,引入修正系数以考虑气速、液速以及压力的影响,较好预测了搅拌流内液滴夹带率。
To investigate physical behavior and quantitative prediction for the drop entrainment in chum flow, an analytical model is established based on both the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability theory and a force balance on the wave crest. The proposed model is verified qualitatively and quantitatively and the impact of the gas and liquid flow rate, pipe diameter and pressure on the drop entrainment rate is analyzed in detail. The interfacial wave in chum flow is forced by the gas drag, gravity and interfacial tension. The maximum drop entrainment appears if the resultant force acting on the wave crest balances to zero. The drop entrainment rate increases with the increase of pipe diameter and liquid mass flow rate, but decreases with the increase of gas velocity and pressure. A more accurate formula for the drop entrainment rate in chum flow is proposed by inducing a factor to consider the integrated effect of the gas velocity, liquid velocity and pressure, which can predict well in agreement with the real entrainment process.
