摘要

针对低温透平膨胀机内复杂自发凝结三元两相流动问题

基于非等温修正成核模型及Gyarmathy液滴生长模型

采用非平衡凝结数学模型

准确预测了气体快速膨胀中凝结成核和液滴生长的过程

基于数值模拟结果

研究了进口过热度和旋转作用对工作轮流道内自发凝结过程的影响

并分析了流道内液滴数目密度、液滴直径及带液量的分布规律。模拟结果表明:当进口过热度不够低时

快速成核发生在工作轮内导流段并发展缓慢

致使气体始终保持在较高的过冷度状态且成核区域较大; 非平衡自发凝结与二次涡流的相互作用产生的逆温梯度会带来附加热力学损失

同时增大的逆压梯度会造成更强的边界层分离

从而引起附加流动损失; 对于径-轴式工作轮

在二次涡流区域、吸力面壁面附近及尾迹涡流区域内容易发生液滴的聚集

这很容易引起二次成核并形成大尺寸二次液滴

进而带来附加机械损失。

Abstract

In view of 3-D two-phase flow with spontaneous condensation in cryogenic turbo-expanders

a mathematical model of non-equilibrium condensation is employed to predict the condensation nucleation and droplet growth in gas repaid expansion

where the nucleation model corrected for non-isothermal effect and Gyarmathy droplet growth model are considered. Following the analysis for simulation results

the effects of inlet superheat degree and rotation on the spontaneous condensation in impeller flow passage are investigated

and the distributions of droplet number density

droplet diameter and wetness are obtained. A higher inlet superheat degree results in that repaid nucleation occurs in guiding section and consequently the process develops slowly

thus the gas remains in a higher supercooled state and the nucleation region is enlarged. Because of the interaction of condensation and secondary flow in impeller flow passage

the adverse temperature gradient causes an additional thermodynamic loss. Moreover

the strength of adverse pressure temperature gradient promotes the separation of boundary layer and further causes additional flow loss. For radial and mixed-flow turbines

the small droplets very likely gather and form bigger ones in the secondary flow region

wall of suction side and wake flow region

which leads to secondary nucleation

secondary droplets on a large-scale and the further additional mechanical loss.
