Particle Motion Characteristics in W-Shaped Hydrocyclones

Abstract

To investigate the multiphase flow characteristics and improve the classification mechanism of a W-shaped hydrocyclone, this paper adopts the numerical simulation method to evaluate the effects of the particle size and density on the separation characteristics and motion behavior of particles. Forces, such as the centrifugal inertia force, pressure gradient force and fluid drag force, which control particle motion, are analyzed, and the classification mechanism of W-shaped hydrocyclones is examined in terms of the particle distribution and separation efficiency. The results indicate that the radial centrifugal inertia and pressure gradient forces in W-shaped hydrocyclones are hundreds of times the gravity force, which is the main driver of radial motion. Particle density and size changes greatly impact the movement and distribution of coarse particles, but no notable change occurs in fine particles. With increasing particle density, the cut size decreases, and the fractionation accuracy increases.

Exploring Impact of Probiotic‐Fermented Soymilk on Dextran‐Sulfate‐Sodium‐Induced Ulcerative Colitis via Modulating Inflammation and Gut Microbiota Profile

“…Despite continuous efforts, the existing drugs and treatments are still not entirely adequate for treating and preventing IBD, and pharmacological side effects of drugs are usually inevitable. [29] Therefore, many studies demonstrated that the LAB strains and their application for soymilk attracted attention as alternative options to antibiotic medications. Fermented soymilk could regulate intestinal immunity, repair intestinal mucosal injury, and modulate gut microbiota.…”

Sodium Composite Oxide Cathode Materials:Phase Regulation, Electrochemical Performance and Reaction Mechanism

“…P2/ P3-Na 0.67 Mn 0.64 Co 0.30 Al 0.06 O 2 delivers an outstanding rate performance (83 mAh g À 1 at a 1700 mA g À 1 ) and a remarkable cycling performance after 200 cycles at 1000 mA g À 1 (Fig- ure 8d,e). [83] The results of operando XRD shows that the P2-P2' phase transition is greatly restrained, indicating enhanced cyclic stability of the material.…”

“…Additionally, a novel synthetic approach, dealloying-annealing strategy, was used in the preparation of the P2/P3-Na 0.67 Mn 0.64 Co 0.30 Al 0.06 O 2 cathode. [83] Compared to Co doping by co-precipitation, sol-gel and solid-phase methods, dealloying is more controllable, which is more favorable for P2/P3 composite cathodes that rely on tuning the synthesis conditions for preparation.
