Item type:Publication, Performance investigation for CRMC and CPM ejectors applied in refrigeration under equivalent ejector geometry by CFD simulation(2022-11-01); ; Thongtip, TongchanaIn this paper, one of the remaining questions for ejector design, “Does the constant rate of momentum change (CRMC) ejector provide better performance than the constant pressure mixing (CPM) ejector under identical ejector area ratio, ejector length, and operating conditions?”, has been answered. Two steam ejector designs operating with the various boiler and evaporator temperatures were simulated by the SST k-omega turbulence model. The present computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model produced a reasonable agreement with our previous published experimental data. The upstream operating conditions were simultaneously considered to assess the better performance ejector design with the help of the primary expansion coefficient. The predicted results revealed that the CRMC ejector showed an advantage in entrainment ratio and a disadvantage in critical condenser pressure. However, the ejector efficiency comparison confirmed that the CRMC ejector design provided better performance than the CPM ejector design for a primary expansion coefficient greater than unity. The maximum percentage improvement of ejector efficiency was 32.418%. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, CFD prediction of mixing performance for circular and non-circular jet mixing tanksOur previous CFD predictions of the circular, elliptic, and square jet mixing tanks were re-analyzed to investigate the highest performance jet mixing tank design and the appropriate mixing performance criterion. So, the mixing performance indicated by overall mixing time and maximum mixing time criteria of these jet mixing tanks was compared. These CFD predictions were carefully developed by using our previous reliable jet mixing tank CFD model. For model validation, reasonable agreement between the predicted mixing times and measurements was observed. The results revealed that circular and non-circular jet flow phenomena were significantly different in the near field jet regions. Further, the elliptic jet mixing tank provided the highest mixing performance because of its highest entrainment and turbulence kinetic energy near the jet boundary. Finally, it can be concluded that the maximum mixing time criterion is a suitable mixing performance indicator. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A review on numerical consideration for computational fluid dynamics modeling of jet mixing tanks(2016-11-01)Over two decades or so, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of various jet mixing tank configurations was developed and published. Further, the studies of various parameters used in experimental and CFD works were also reviewed to obtain the optimal design procedure. However, the numerical setup for jet mixing tank modeling was not studied and reported. Hence, in this review paper, the important numerical setup for CFD simulation of jet mixing tanks, including numerical solution techniques, turbulence model selection, boundary conditions, numerical methods, solution strategy, and CFD grid, are clearly demonstrated to achieve the comprehensive CFD modeling guideline for jet mixing tank. Further, the validations for jet mixing tank models are also represented.
