Computational fluid dynamics analysis and design optimization of a porous annular powder‐liquid mixer
Abstract An annular powder‐liquid mixer is a new type of jet pump used to mix powder. This mixer is mainly used to mix fracturing fluids in oil and natural gas exploitation processes. Free from powder pellets, the mixer has characteristics, such as high mixing efficiency and great suction. The struc...

| description | Abstract An annular powder‐liquid mixer is a new type of jet pump used to mix powder. This mixer is mainly used to mix fracturing fluids in oil and natural gas exploitation processes. Free from powder pellets, the mixer has characteristics, such as high mixing efficiency and great suction. The structural parameters, such as hose diameter, exit section diameter, falloff angle, divergence angle, hose length‐diameter ratio, and annular nozzle diameter, may influence this new type of mixer. By using an orthogonal experiment to optimize the structure of an annular ring‐type powder mixer and performing a comparative analysis of the results of numerical simulations, this paper finally determines the mixer's structure. According to experiments, the mixer's negative suction can reach 0.09 MPa, there are no powder pellets during the mixing process, and the mixing effect is very good. |
