Experiment Study and Simulation Research for the Atomization Characteristics of the Internal-Mixing Twin-Fluid Atomizer

Article Preview

Abstract:

The internal-mixing twin-fluid atomizer has found wide application in aerospace, industrial gas turbine, oil-fired boiler, energy field and so on. The atomization characteristics of internal mixing nozzle under different operating conditions are studied by utilizing the Malvern laser particle size analyzer. According to the experiment results, the influence of air pressure, hydraulic pressure and air-liquid ratio to droplet size and uniformity are analyzed. The three-dimensional flow field model of internal mixing nozzle is built to simulate the droplet size of mixing room and outlet by Fluent. The simulation results show that the droplet size decreases along with the increase of the air pressure and the air-liquid ratio, moreover, the air pressure plays a main actor. The droplet size increases in the mixing room, and then decrease sharply at the domain of the outlet. The droplet size of the nozzle’s outlet obtained in simulation matches the experimental result.
