Mathematical model of movement of a single spherical lupine particle in the extractor using low-frequency mechanical vibrations

Abstract

In our case, the solid body is the raw material of plant origin-lupine, crushed into grits, and the extractant is the cheese whey. The turbulent situation in the apparatus was created by the imposition of low-frequency mechanical vibrations, which have a significant impact on the characteristics of hydro-mechanical, mass transfer and thermal processes. This feature must be taken into account in the calculation of the extraction apparatus. The basic assumptions for the solution of the problem are formulated. The equation of motion of a single particle, which is contained in a number of works (Sow, an introduction, Chen, Protodyakonov, etc.). It is true in the instant values of the parameters. A simpler equation describing the motion of the dispersed particle and time correlation tensors with their subsequent decomposition into the Fourier integral are written. Further, taking into account the definition of tensors, the dependences for the calculation of the intensity of the chaotic motion of continuous and dispersed phases are shown, and the final expression is obtained, showing the ratio of the intensities of the phases. The coefficient of turbulent diffusion of each phase is proportional to the intensity of the chaotic motion of the corresponding phase. Therefore, the written finite equation for the phase ratio allows to estimate the ratio of the turbulent diffusion coefficients of the liquid and dispersed phases in the extraction apparatus. In our case, the ratio of the density of Hg / Hg is 1.1. Since the density of lupine and cheese whey differ quantitatively, we should expect some increase in the relative velocity of the phases, which will increase the rate of mass transfer. The intensities of the phases chaotic motion will not be the same, as well as the coefficients of turbulent diffusion. Thus, the case of motion of a single particle in a turbulent flow is complex and can be solved only under sufficiently serious assumptions formulated below.

Analysis and optimization of the structure of liquid phase flows in extractors of multiple irrigation of the oil-containing material with an extractant

“…There are various methods for intensifying the extraction process [1][2][3][4], for example, by superimposing low-frequency mechanical vibrations [5,6] or using electrophysical methods of exposure [7,8]. For oil extraction plants of the percolation type, operating on the principle of countercurrent organization of the streams structure, a known way to increase efficiency is to reduce the effect of reverse recirculation of the extractant due to material moving to the opposite direction.…”
