In single phase, steady, turbulent axisymmetric jets, the time-averaged velocity field can be characterised by the decay in centreline velocity and increased spread with increasing distance from the jet orifice. In a two-phase or ‘particle-laden’ jet, the particles will modulate the jet turbulence and exchange momentum with the gas phase. Consequently, these effects reduce both the centreline velocity decay and spreading rates with respect to the single-phase jet. Empirical exponential scaling factors were found by previous authors to describe the reduced centreline decay and spreading rates well for low Stokes numbers. In this thesis, power-law scaling factors are found to scale well a wide range of centreline velocity decay and spreading rate data published over the past 40 years, for a wide range of Stokes numbers. The power-law scaling is composed of three different regimes. For low Stokes numbers St₀ ≲20, it is found that the gas phase centreline velocity, u₀/uc collapses if plotted as a function of x/D(1 + Ø₀)⁻¹, and the velocity profile half widths r₁/ ₂ collapse if plotted as a function of x/D(1+Ø₀)⁻¹. Here, u₀ is the exit velocity, Ø₀ is the exit mass loading, x is the axial coordinate and D is the pipe diameter. For intermediate Stokes numbers, u₀/uc collapses if plotted as a function of x/D(1 + Ø₀)⁻¹ and r₁/ ₂ collapses if plotted as a function of x/D(1 + Ø₀)⁻¹/². For high Stokes numbers St₀ ≳ 200, u₀/uc collapses if plotted as a function of x/D(1 + Ø₀)⁻¹/² and the half width is approximately independent of Ø₀. In addition to the velocity of the gas phase, other aspects of particle- laden jets are found to be amenable to scaling by power-law functions. It is found that reported solid phase mass flux data scales similarly to gas phase measurements. Limited solid phase concentration and entrainment measurements reported in the literature are also found to scale by power-law functions. Whereas that limited data was obtained from the literature, measurements of the distribution of particles in particle-laden jets were conducted to further assess the validity of the scaling regimes to the solid phase. A planar light scattering technique is conducted to measure the distribution of particles in an axisymmetric jet and their subsequent scaling (or lack thereof) are reported for a variation in Ø₀, Stokes number and gas phase jet exit density. For Stokes numbers based on the pipe friction velocity St* ₀ ∼ 1, half widths of particle distributions were found to scale with x/D(1+Ø₀)⁻¹/² . The apparent centreline concentration was found to be independent of Ø₀ at this same St* ₀ . For Stokes numbers based on the pipe friction velocity St*₀ < 1, half widths are independent of Ø₀. The effect of the other parameters, i.e. Stokes number and density ratio, on centreline distributions and half widths are also investigated. Measurements of particle distributions, delivered via an annular channel, in a triangular oscillating jet (OJ) flow are also reported for a variation in momentum ratio, the ratio of OJ momentum to channel momentum and mass loading. The results of the variation in momentum ratio on particle distributions are compared with an existing precessing jet (PJ) study. It is the aim of this study to determine the experimental conditions for which the OJ nozzle is superior to the PJ nozzle. The use of an OJ nozzle is preferable at an industrial scale by virtue of its lower driving pressure compared with a PJ nozzle. It is found that particle distributions in a PJ flow spread at a greater rate with increasing momentum ratio compared with the spread of particles in an OJ flow. However, at momentum ratios approximately less than unity, the absolute spread from an OJ is greater. This also corresponds to nozzle driving pressure less than approximately 10kPA. For an increase in mass loading, the spread of particle distribution in the OJ decreases and recirculation increases. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1337352 / Thesis (M.Eng.Sc.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Mechanical Engineering, 2008

Experimentos foram desenvolvidos em relação a diferentes condições de velocidade inicial com diâmetro médio de partícula igual a 50 µm, e para duas diferentes misturas de partículas, 50 µm e 90 µm, em diferentes proporções, e comparados em relação a perfis de velocidade média, intensidade de turbulência e velocidade RMS. Medidas relacionadas à distribuição IAT foram também adquiridas para todas as condições analisadas. Os experimentos foram desenvolvidos para diferentes posições axiais e radiais a partir da saída do orifício de formação do jato. Perfis radiais de velocidade média, flutuação de velocidade (velocidade RMS), intensidade de turbulência e ¿interparticle arrival time¿ (em termos de distribuição Chi2 e número de desvios) foram obtidos pelo sistema de ¿Phase Doppler Anemometry¿, atravessando o sistema de medição ponto a ponto na direção desejada. Além disto, as variações das condições de velocidade inicial, distribuição de partículas e razão de carga permitem a obtenção de importantes informações em relação às estruturas locais do escoamento e seus efeitos sobre o transporte macroscópico e turbulento de partículas entre o centro do jato e as regiões de contorno do mesmo. Assim é possível identificar que no centro do jato não existe a formação de Estruturas Coerentes de Larga Escala (ECLE), ou seja, o escoamento é dominado por estruturas incoerentes. Existem também fortes indícios de formação de ECLE em uma região radial entre o centro e a região de contorno, sendo estas dependentes da condição inicial de velocidade da fase gás. Além disto, partículas com maior diâmetro suprimem a formação de ECLE. A distribuição IAT prova ser uma ferramenta importante na identificação dos locais onde ECLEs vêm a influenciar a distribuição de partículas, formando ¿clusters¿. A investigação extensiva de dados experimentais em relação ao comportamento da fase dispersa no escoamento gás sólido em um jato pode ser utilizada como uma importante fonte de dados para uma validação detalhada, por meio de simulação numérica, do escoamento disperso bifásico, incluindo as fortes interações entre as fases gás e particulada / Abstract: A study of large scale coherent structures by Interparticle Arrival Time (IAT) of a two phase jet flow is proposed. Measurements were carried out for different initial velocities with 50 µm particle mean diameter, and for two different particle mixtures with mean particle diameter of 50 µm and 90 µm, in different proportions, and analyzed in relation to different variables. Measurements related to IAT were also acquired for all analysis conditions. The experiments were developed for different axial and radial distances from the nozzle outlet. Radial profiles of mean velocity, RMS velocity, turbulence intensity and the IAT (in terms of Chi2 and number of deviation) were measured by a Phase Doppler Anemometry system, traversing the measuring device stepwise in the desired direction. Furthermore, the variation of the initial velocity conditions, particle diameter distributions, and particle loadings yield important information about the local flow structures and its effect on the macroscopic as well as the turbulent particle transport between the jet centre and the outer shear layer. Thus, it is possible to identify that in the centre line of the jet there is no formation of large scale coherent structures (ECLE), i. e., the flow is dominated by incoherent structures. There is also strong evidence of ECLE formation in a radial position between the centre and the outer shear layer of the jet, which are dependent on the gas initial velocity. Furthermore, particles with large diameter suppress ECLE formation. The IAT distribution proofs to be an important tool to identify regions where large scale coherent structures influence the particle distribution and tend to form particle clusters. The derived extensive experimental data set for the particle behaviour at the two-phase jet may serve as a basis for the detailed validation of numerical simulations of dispersed two phase flow behaviour including strong phase interactions between gaseous and particulate phases / Doutorado / Desenvolvimento de Processos Químicos / Doutor em Engenharia Química

Nestes casos, ao entrar em contato com o ambiente, o produto liberado irá se dispersar como um jato de vapor com pequenas gotículas, as quais evaporam provocando alterações na temperatura e composição do gás circundante. As gotículas maiores podem cair sobre o solo (rainout) formando uma poça que irá espalhar-se e evaporar. Gotas menores que um tamanho crítico permanecerão no jato e serão evaporadas devido ao ar arrastado. Nesse sentido, tendo em vista que a estimativa do comportamento do material liberado é necessária para a avaliação do perigo, este trabalho tem como objetivo determinar a extensão da área classificada para liberações bifásicas, utilizando como estudo de caso situações de vazamento com gás liquefeito de butano, em seu estado saturado à temperatura ambiente, e propano armazenado à 321 K e 20,64 bar. Utilizou-se o modelo proposto por Long para jato turbulento subsônico e o modelo para jato bifásico apresentado em Kukkonen para prever esta extensão. A partir da análise dos resultados observou-se para o propano como componente da liberação, um resultado satisfatório quando comparado ao obtido em CFD, apresentando ambos aproximadamente 1,3 m de extensão. A extensão para a situação de vazamento do butano apresentou um valor conservativo (86 m), tendo em vista que o orifício de vazamento possui um diâmetro considerável. Estes resultados são importantes uma vez que podem auxiliar em situações semelhantes na classificação de áreas. Tendo em vista que não há na literatura dados de extensão, este trabalho possui uma inovação prática podendo servir como base para normatização do cálculo de extensão de áreas classificadas para liberações bifásicas. / Many accidents involve biphasic release of hazardous chemicals into the atmosphere; they are often stored and transported in the form of liquefied gas under its saturated pressure. In these cases, in the contact with the environment, the released product will disperse as a steam jet with small droplets, which evaporate causing changes in temperature and composition of the surrounding gas. The larger droplets may fall on the ground (rainout) forming a pool that will spread and evaporate. Droplets smaller than a critical size will remain on the jet and will be evaporated due to entrained air. In this case, in view of estimate of the behavior of the released material is useful for a hazard assessment, this work aims to determine the extent of the classified area for biphasic releases, using as case studies liquefied gas leakage of butane, in its Saturated state at ambient temperature, and propane at 321 K and 20,64 bar. Used the model proposed by Long for turbulent subsonic jet and model for two-phase jet in Kukkonen to predict this extension. From the analysis of the results it was observed for propane as a release component, a satisfactory result when compared to the one obtained in CFD, presenting approximately 1.3 m extension. The extent to the leakage situation of the butane presented a conservative value (86 m), considering that the pouring hole has a considerable diameter. These results are important since they may help in similar situations in the classification of areas. In view of the lack of extension data available in the literature, this work has a practical innovation and can serve as a basis for standardization of the calculation of extension of classified areas for biphasic releases.
