Description

Fluid conveying device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline transportation, in particular to a fluid conveying device.
Background
Pipeline transportation is a method of transporting solid through pipeline by breaking it into powder, preparing slurry (or gas powder mixture) with proper amount of liquid (or gas). The pipeline transportation has the characteristics of large transportation amount, small occupied area, small energy consumption, safety, reliability, no pollution, short transportation distance (relative to truck transportation), low cost and the like, and is not influenced by climate.
It can be divided into liquid delivery pipeline and air delivery pipeline according to the carrier. The carrier of the liquid conveying pipeline is generally water. The air supply pipeline uses compressed air as a carrier. At present, slurry conveying technology is adopted for long-distance and large-output solid slurry pipelines. The efficiency of pipeline transportation is affected by the slurry pipeline flow regime. Under the same flow velocity, because of the difference of particle size, density, concentration, etc., three basic flow states can be formed: homogeneous flow state, namely particles are evenly suspended on the cross section of the pipeline, and the solid concentration of each point is the same; semi-homogeneous flow state, that is, fine particles are uniformly distributed on the upper part of the full section of the pipeline, but large particles move on the lower part, so that the concentration of the lower part is high, the concentration of the upper part is low, but particle precipitation cannot occur; heterogeneous flow state, i.e. very uneven concentration distribution on the full section, solid particle precipitation and a precipitation layer at the bottom of the pipeline. Generally, a pure homogeneous slurry is rare. When the flow rate is varied, the slurry will be converted between a homogeneous flow and a semi-homogeneous flow, or a semi-homogeneous flow and a non-homogeneous flow. The flow rate when the slurry is sedimented becomes the critical flow rate. In order to avoid plugging of the pipeline due to precipitation, the solid pipe section should transport the slurry above the critical speed. The critical flow rate is large and the energy consumption is also large.
Another factor contributing to pipe blockage is pipe slope. The solid slurry pipeline is usually intermittently conveyed to regulate the conveying amount, and solid particles can be precipitated after the transportation is stopped. If the pipe slope is greater than the natural angle of repose of the sediment, the sediment will move downward, forming a blockage. If the stack length is too long, it will cause difficulties in restarting.
Aiming at the problems in the pipeline transportation, the method for improving the uniformity of the solid concentration of the slurry at a lower critical flow speed by changing the flow state of the solid slurry is provided.
The above information disclosed in this background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

A series of transition sections may be formed as the angle gradually increases from 45 ° to 90 °. These sections are turned clockwise (or counterclockwise) through a predetermined angle in the course of the axial progression, and are twisted 90 ° clockwise in the illustration.

A series of transition sections may be formed as the angle gradually increases from 45 ° to 90 °. These sections are turned clockwise or counterclockwise through a predetermined angle during the axial progression, for example, by 90 ° clockwise in the illustration. In order to generate larger vortex intensity and reduce the on-way pressure loss, the invention can design a smoother transition mode at the initial section and the final section of the gradual change section, namely, the angle turned in a unit distance is smaller. Such as an alpha transition curve based on a cosine function, or using a vitoscinski curve (Vitosinski curve). Wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure 952232DEST_PATH_IMAGE006
in the vortex flow tube 1, the ratio of the sum of the first length, the second length and the third length to the radius R is 8: 1, which is based on the ratio of the strength of the vortex generated by the vortex flow tube 1 to the pressure loss caused by the vortex flow tube. I.e. the maximum intensity of the vortex flow is generated with the minimum pressure loss.
In one embodiment, the vortex flow pipe 1 is used to replace a straight pipe section in a pipeline conveying system, and a clamp or a flange is connected in front of an element which needs to improve the suspension effect of solid particles. These elements may be straight pipes, more sloped pipes, or elbows, etc. When a straight pipe section is connected, the vortex flow pipe 1 is used for replacing a part of straight pipes, vortex flow can be induced and generated at the rear of the vortex flow pipe, the suspension effect of particles at the rear of the vortex flow pipe is enhanced, and therefore the conveying flow speed is reduced, and the energy consumption is reduced. Meanwhile, the particles are suspended, so that the friction erosion of the particles to the pipe wall can be reduced, the pipeline is protected, and the service life of the pipeline is prolonged. When the pipe is connected to the front of a pipeline with a slope, the generated vortex flow can apply tangential and radial velocities to particles deposited on the inclined pipe section, the concentration uniformity of the section of the pipeline is improved, and the wall surface is blocked. Meanwhile, the particles are suspended, so that the friction erosion of the particles to the pipe wall can be reduced, the pipeline is protected, and the service life of the pipeline is prolonged. When the elbow is connected, a vortex flow pipe is used for replacing a part of straight pipe, vortex flow can be induced and generated at the rear of the vortex flow pipe, the suspension effect of particles in the elbow at the rear of the vortex flow pipe is enhanced, and wall particles are deposited at the elbow due to gravity, so that the pipeline is blocked. Meanwhile, the particles are suspended, so that the concentrated friction erosion of the particles to the bent pipe can be reduced, the bent pipe is protected, and the service life of parts is prolonged.
To further understand the present invention, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, a vortex flow tube transports powder through air in a straight tube to increase the suspension effect of particles. CFD simulation result shows that when the gas velocity is 10m/s, at vortex flow pipe and contrast straight tube rear, the concentration distribution of powder appears obvious difference, and vortex flow can make the powder distribution of its rear more even, and the concentration difference is less, belongs to semi-homogeneous flow state. And the deposition phenomenon is concentrated on the lower part of the pipeline after the contrast straight pipe. As shown in fig. 8, in view of the comparison of the volume fractions of solids downstream of the swirl tube and the straight comparison tube, the volume fraction is low after the swirl tube because the particles are mixed more uniformly in the cross-section of the pipe and less sediment is deposited. For the vortex tube with the caliber of 50mm, the effective downstream range is about 3m, namely, the 60D range can play the roles of improving the transmission efficiency and reducing the particle accumulation. In addition, the particle velocity has larger axial velocity at a position far downstream of the vortex flow pipe, which shows that the vortex flow gives larger momentum to the particles, the following performance to the air of a transport medium is better, and the transport efficiency can be improved. The vortex flow pipe can avoid the particle to subside to return bend department, reduces the wearing and tearing of particulate matter pile foundation to the return bend, improves pipeline life's effect.
Compared with linear transition, the nonlinear transition mode can provide smoother transition, avoid local eddy and boundary layer separation generated by larger change of the shape of the section of the pipeline, cause larger local pressure loss, and influence the weakening of wall shearing force caused by boundary layer falling when the circular section is transited to the blade section. To illustrate the non-linear gradient enhanced vortex intensity of the present invention, different flow rates are simulated as shown in fig. 9, which shows a comparison between an α transition curve based on a cosine function and a non-linear gradient using a vittonsiki curve and a normal linear gradient, and the initial tangential velocity values at the outlet of the vortex flow pipe when the transition pipe uses three transition modes. The greater the shear velocity, the greater the eddy current intensity. It can be seen from the figure that as the pipe flow rate increases, the vortex strength increases. At each flow rate, the strength of the generated vortex was induced. The cross section is twisted in a non-linear gradual manner along the longitudinal direction of the gradual change section and is in a preset angle, the Wittonsisky transition mode is superior to the alpha transition mode, and the alpha transition mode is superior to the linear transition mode. There is a significant increase in the vortex flow effect when using a non-linear gradual twist preset angle. The linear transition mode produced cut velocity values 19.1-33.1% lower than the vittonsiki transition. Compared with the Wittonsiki transition, the cutting speed value generated by the alpha transition mode is 6.5 to 18.6 percent lower. Compared with linear transition, the provided non-linear gradual transition of an alpha transition mode, a Wittonsisky curve transition mode and the like generates larger initial tangential velocity, and the stronger vortex effect is also meant. The performance of the vortex tube is obviously improved.
FIG. 10 is a graph showing the comparison of the alpha transition curve and the wall shear force using the non-linear transition of the Witoshib curve and the normal linear transition of one embodiment of the present invention, and the CFD simulation of the inlet flow rate of 3m/s shows that the wall shear force behind the non-linear transition is significantly increased when the non-linear transition is used. Compared with linear transition, when an alpha transition mode is used, the shearing force of the wall surface is increased by 2% -8%; when the Wittonsiki curve transition mode is used, the shearing force of the wall surface is increased by 2% -13%. Fig. 11 is a graph showing a comparison of pressure loss for an alpha transition curve and a non-linear ramp and a normal linear ramp using a victoris-based curve according to an embodiment of the present invention. Meanwhile, compared with a linear transition mode, when the alpha transition mode is used, the pressure loss is reduced by 16% -28%; when the Wittonsiki curve transition mode is used, the pressure loss is reduced by 22-38%. Therefore, when the nonlinear transition is used, due to the fact that the smooth fluid channel is provided, the adverse effects of local turbulence, wall surface boundary layer separation and the like are caused on the wall surface, the pressure loss can be reduced to the maximum extent, and the energy consumption is reduced. Meanwhile, more energy is used for inducing and generating vortex flow, so that the generated vortex flow is higher in strength, and the effect of improving the wall surface shearing force is more obvious. The non-linear transition technology can enable the vortex flow pipe to play a more remarkable role in fluid conveying, reduce energy consumption and prolong the service life of process equipment. Due to the effect improvement brought by the nonlinear transition technology, the cost can be obviously reduced for enterprises, and the overall production efficiency is improved.
