摘要: 针对研发的负压吸附系统在对油茶果进行气力收集时有阻塞及能耗高等问题,从输送管道的管径、弯径比及输送气速3个方面对系统收集性能进行研究,开展管道内油茶果气固两相流的数值模拟。数值模拟通过离散元素法(DEM)和计算流体力学(CFD)耦合求解,组成离散元模型与计算流体力学模型,以CFD求解连续气相流场,以DEM求解离散颗粒运动及受力。仿真结果表明:对吸附性能的影响因素从大到小为管径、输送气速、弯径比,在输送气速为38m/s、弯径比为1及管径为80mm时,系统质量流量达到最优。同时,对此参数下管道内不同阶段颗粒平均动能及不同位置处颗粒速度进行分析,并进行了样机吸附性正交试验,结果表明:管径对吸附性能影响最大,其次为输送气速、弯径比,与数值仿真结果一致;管径为80mm、弯径比为1及输送气速为38m/s时,负压吸附系统质量流量的试验值最优为0.66kg/s,同一条件下的仿真值为0.902kg/s,两者之间相对误差为26.8%,试验与数值模拟结果基本吻合。Abstract: For the problems of obstruction and energy consumption when the negative pressure suction system that developed by our group was used for pneumatic collection of camellia particles, this paper studied the collection performance of the system from three aspects of pipe diameter, ratio of curvature and diameter and conveying gas velocity, numerical simulation of gas-solid two-phase flow of camellia particles in the pipeline was carried out. Numerical simulation was conducted by coupling solution of discrete element method(DEM) and computational fluid dynamics(CFD) to form a discrete element model and a computational fluid dynamics model. CFD was used to solve the continuous gas phase flow field, and DEM was used to solve the motion and force of discrete particles. The simulation results show that the factors influencing the adsorption performance were tube diameter, gas velocity and ratio of curvature and diameter from large to small. While the conveying gas velocity is 38 m/s, ratio of curvature and diameter is 1 and the pipe diameter is 80 mm, the system mass flow rate to achieve the optimal. Kinetic energy and velocity of the particles in different stages and location of the pipe are analyzed under this condition. The orthogonal experiment of adsorptive of prototype was carried out, results show that the pipe diameter has the greatest influence on the adsorption performance, followed by the gas velocity and the ratio of bending to diameter, which are consistent with the numerical results. When the pipe diameter is 80 mm, ratio of curvature and diameter is 1 and the gas velocity is 38 m/s, the optimal test value of mass flow of the negative pressure suction system is 0.66 kg/s and the simulation value is 0.902 kg/s under the same condition. The relative error between them is 26.8%, indicating that the test is basically consistent with the numerical simulation results.
