基于三维双相流数值模拟的气雾化粉末粒径控制

Powder particle size control in gas atomization based on 3D two-phase flow numerical simulation

  • 摘要: 采用三维计算流体动力学模型,结合离散相模型,基于L25(53)正交实验设计方法系统研究了喷盘喷嘴孔心距(10-50 mm)、气体入射角度(30°-50°)及进气压力(1-5 MPa)三个参数对粉末粒径D50的影响规律,运用极差分析法与方差分析法对模拟数据进行统计学处理,揭示各因素对粉末粒径影响的主次顺序、显著性水平和贡献率。研究结果表明,三因素对粉末中位径D50影响的主次顺序为:进气压力(极差70.214 μm)>喷嘴孔心距(极差49.518 μm)>气体入射角度(极差25.226 μm),其中进气压力的影响程度显著大于其他因素,表明在实验参数范围内,气体动能输入是控制粉末粒径D50的决定性变量。方差分析进一步验证了上述结论的统计学可靠性:进气压力(P=0.000257<0.01)与喷嘴孔心距(P=0.007999<0.01)对D50的影响达到极显著水平,而气体入射角度的影响未达显著性水平(P=0.136843>0.05)。贡献率分析显示,进气压力贡献率达54.35%,喷嘴孔心距贡献率为24.09%,二者累计贡献率超过78%,而气体入射角度贡献率仅为9.00%,进一步证实了压力与几何结构参数在雾化过程中的主导作用。响应面分析进一步揭示了进气压力与喷嘴孔心距的非线性耦合作用,最优参数窗口为进气压力2 MPa、喷嘴孔心距40 mm、气体入射角度35°,该组合下数值模拟预测D50为64.14 μm,与实际雾化实验制备的粉末D50(61.13 μm)偏差小于5%,且粉末球形度良好。

     

    Abstract: A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model coupled with the discrete phase model (DPM) is employed. Based on the L25(53) orthogonal experimental design method, the effects of three parameters—nozzle orifice spacing (10–50 mm), gas impingement angle (30°–50°), and inlet gas pressure (1–5 MPa)—on powder particle size D50 are systematically investigated. Range analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are utilized to conduct statistical processing of the simulation data, revealing the hierarchical order, significance levels, and contribution rates of each factor’s effect on powder particle size. The results indicate that the hierarchical order of significance for the three factors affecting the median particle diameter D50 is as follows: inlet gas pressure (range 70.214 μm) > nozzle orifice spacing (range 49.518 μm) > gas impingement angle (range 25.226 μm). The influence degree of inlet gas pressure is significantly greater than that of the other factors, demonstrating that gas kinetic energy input serves as the decisive variable controlling powder particle size D50 within the investigated parameter range. Analysis of variance further validates the statistical reliability of these conclusions: inlet gas pressure (P = 0.000257 < 0.01) and nozzle orifice spacing (P = 0.007999 < 0.01) exhibit extremely significant effects on D50, whereas the gas impingement angle fails to reach the significance level (P = 0.136843 > 0.05). Contribution rate analysis reveals that inlet gas pressure contributes 54.35%, nozzle orifice spacing contributes 24.09%, and their cumulative contribution exceeds 78%, while the gas impingement angle contributes only 9.00%, further confirming the dominant roles of pressure and geometric structural parameters in the atomization process. Response surface analysis further reveals the nonlinear coupling effect between inlet gas pressure and nozzle orifice spacing. The optimal parameter window is identified as an inlet gas pressure of 2 MPa, a nozzle orifice spacing of 40 mm, and a gas impingement angle of 35°. Under this parameter combination, the numerically predicted D50 is 64.14 μm, deviating by less than 5% from the experimentally measured D50 (61.13 μm) of actually atomized powder, with good powder sphericity.
