Numerical Simulation and Optimization of Perforated Tube Trolley in Circular Cooler

Abstract

Three symmetrically perforated tubes were arranged in the circular cooler trolley as auxiliary cooling inlet to improve the cooling performance of the sintered body during the production process. Fluent 15.0 has been used to simulate the process; the study shows that the perforated tube structure trolley has changed the temperature field within the sintering area, thereby improving the sintering area of the cooling effect and uniformity, also greatly reducing the cooling time. Compared with the traditional trolley, the best structure of the porous tube trolley has reduced 41% cooling time and increased 50% waste heat recovery.

Optimizing Efficiency of Tea Harvester Leaf-Collection Pipeline: Numerical Simulation and Experimental Validation

“…This research embarked on an optimized external structural design with a diameter taper ratio of 2:1. Altering the taper of the airflow main pipe from the original model, which had an inner diameter of 50 mm at the inlet end, iterations were made with inner diameters of 16,19,22,25,28,31, and 34 mm at the opposite end to analyze the airflow characteristics.…”

“…Endalew et al [14,15] examined the airflow fields generated by three different fan combinations experimentally and numerically, comparing their effects on canopy wind speeds. Wu et al [16] analyzed the performance of an axial fan through numerical simulation, determining that pressure loss is minimized when the inlet velocity ranges from 25-55 m/s and the diffusion angle is either 4.5 • or 5.5 • . Hong et al [17] deeply studied the horizontal velocity distribution of multi-duct orchard sprayer nozzles at different heights.…”
