Suitable structure for plenum chamber lead to a significant enhancement of the relaxation heat setting machine performance, this paper presents the influence of opening ratio and static pressure on flow velocity. Optimization design method is employed to identify the optimum opening ratio and structure dimension of plenum chamber quantitatively. Furthermore, a numerical approach is presented to validate the optimization results, numerical studies indicate that decreasing opening ratio has better effect on mending air flow uniformity than constant opening ratio, the optimized structure results in the relative velocity error rate decrease by 23.7%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
