n the one hand, the multiphase flow can be considered a moving continuum of phases penetrating each other, whereby each phase is present at every locatio
a certain extent. This model is helpful if the large-scale behavior of a multiphase fluid is to be described. On the other hand, the motion in each phase can be
escribed separately, with the coupling between the phases at the interfaces of particular importance. This is expressed mathematically by computing the motio
the interfaces in detail by specific mathematical methods. This consideration is advantageous if interface interactions, such as mass fluxes, govern the
ocesses.
he simultaneous movement of several phases, such as liquids, gases, or solids, within a system is called multiphase flow. In a multiphase flow, two or more
hases coexist and communicate continuously or dispersedly. Many industrial, environmental, and ecological processes involve this flow.

hases’ temperatures, concentrations, and velocities can also vary. Multiphase flow examples include gas-liquid (for instance, air-water), liquid-liquid (for
stance, oil-water), gas-solid (for instance, air-particle), and three-phase (for instance, gas-liquid-solid) flows.

nd phenomena that can occur in multiphase flow phenomena. Numerous engineering applications, including chemical processes, the petroleum industry,
uclear reactors, food processing, environmental research, and more, depend on understanding and anticipating multiphase flow behavior.
umerical simulation techniques like Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are frequently used to simulate and analyze multiphase flows. Engineers and
cientists can use these models to examine the flow characteristics, phase distribution, pressure drop, heat transfer, mass transfer, and other pertinent aspects.
he numerical models are also validated and supplemented by experimental methods like flow visualization, laser-based diagnostics, and particle tracking. In

This CFD project uses the ANSYS Fluent software to
discuss the humidification dehumidification (HDH) system.
An excellent example of a water desalination system is the
HDH system. The humidification and dehumidification
processes form the basis of this method’s mechanism. The
evaporator, or humidifier, is on one side of the system,
while the condenser, or dehumidifier, is on the other.
s previously indicated, the condenser shell’s interior is now in touch with the cold feed water pipes. The steam is humidified, or purified water is distilled from it
he two steps of the system’s process are humidification and dehumidification. For this issue, two simulations have been run. In the first simulation,
umidification was studied. Dry air rises from the chamber’s bottom to its top. Hot salt water is sprayed via several pores inside the chamber simultaneously. Aft
vaporating, the droplets in the membrane portion of the chamber clash with the airflow to create humid air.
his steam is salt-free and unadulterated. Dehumidification was the subject of the second simulation. The chamber is filled with the flow of moist air produced in
e previous phase. Spiral tubes are thought to transport the cooling water flow inside the chamber. Freshwater is produced when hot steam touches the spiral
be’s cold surface and condenses.
he contours relating to the mass fraction of air and water vapor and the concentration of discrete particles have been acquired following the conclusion of the
st simulation. The results only apply to the final second of the simulation because it is unstable. Two animations have also been created to better comprehend
e solutions to this challenge. On a two-dimensional plane, one looks at the contour of changes in the mass fraction of produced water. The compartment is
eing traversed by the plane. The other uses particle tracking to examine how water droplets spread over time.
he findings demonstrate that droplets are routinely shot downward from the chamber’s higher apertures in preparation for meeting dry air. The outcomes
dditionally demonstrate that water is gradually created over time and travels toward the upper exit of the chamber.
ven that the purpose of the simulation was to produce humid air, this demonstrates that it was done correctly. Additionally, the mass fraction of produced wate
ver time has been plotted. This plot demonstrates how steam builds up over time. After the second simulation, it was possible to generate two-dimensional
ontours for the following variables: velocity, temperature, mass transfer rate (from steam to water), and volume proportion of water and steam. This simulation
as been running continuously and without regard to time.
he findings demonstrate the phase transition in the areas surrounding the cold spiral tube. The temperature contour reveals that the vapor temperature has
opped and fallen below the saturation point near the cold pipe. Condensation, or the conversion of vapor to water, must therefore occur.
he mass transfer rate’s contour also effectively demonstrates that the phase transition occurs in areas where the temperature is lower than the saturation
mperature. When a phase transition from liquid to vapor occurs, the sign changes from negative to positive (indicating the phase transition from liquid to vapor
he contour of water and vapor volume fraction changes also confirms condensation. The results show that the areas closest to cold pipes are where the most
oduced water is found.
he current issue uses the ANSYS Fluent program to simulate nucleate boiling inside a vertical channel. The reference work, “A numerical investigation of the
fect of surface wettability on the boiling curve,” served as the foundation for the simulation. It compares and validates its findings with those in the article. It is
vestigated and examines how surface wettability affects the pool boiling curve.

he outcomes of the present work are compared and validated with the results produced by the article after this simulation. Figure 8’s illustration illustrates how
e changes in the fluid’s transmitted heat flux depend on these changes. The Project at hand aims to achieve a contact angle of 60 degrees.
pplication of the Shiono and Knight Method in compound channels with non-prismatic floodplains
he current issue involves utilizing the ANSYS Fluent program to simulate a two-phase flow in a compound channel. We compare and validate the simulation’s
sults with those in the reference article “Application of the Shiono and Knight Method in compound channels with non-prismatic floodplains,” on which it is
ased. The primary channel through which the natural flow of water travels makes up the majority of natural rivers (floodplains). However, when the water flow
creases, one or more flood layers are developed nearby as a floodplain. Therefore, we can suppose a channel whose cross-section does not include a
ndamental geometric feature.
ompound channels are the name given to these kinds of channels. The current simulation aims to examine two-phase flow dynamics in a compound channel
at includes air and water. The data in Figure 1-c of the reference publication served as the foundation for the compound channel geometry. We use the
ultiphase Volume of the Fluid model (VOF) in the Fluent program because the current model comprises two phases of air and water. As a result, the surface
nsion force between the air and water is defined as 0.072 N.m-1. The open channel flow model should also be applied because the water flow at the canal’s
et portion is limited to a particular height or level. Thus, 0.0357143 m is the height of the water at the intake section.
he figure in Figure 10-a of the cited work is the foundation for validating the current paper. The profile of velocity value changes along the channel cross-sectio
depicted in this diagram. This profile was collected 14 meters from the canal entrance. Additionally, changes in the mixed flow’s vertical velocity and the line
orresponding to the surface of the interface between the two phases of air and water have been discovered.
ecause it can be assumed that the volume fraction of each phase at the interface between the two phases is roughly equal to 0.5, the iso-surface command ca
eate a plane in which the volume fraction of water or air is 0.5 to find the line corresponding to the interface between the two phases. Figure 3 compares and
alidates the numerical work results with the experimental work findings from the article. These diagrams demonstrate that the velocity is greater in the area
bove the compound channel’s center than at other spots.
wo-dimensional contours relating to each air and water phase’s pressure, velocity, and volume fraction are obtained after the solution procedure. At a distance
14 m and in a portion parallel to the channel inlet section (X-Y plane), two-dimensional contours are produced.
ffects of curvature radius on separation behaviors of the Hydrocyclone with a tangent-circle inlet
he current issue uses the ANSYS Fluent program to simulate the two-phase flow of air and water inside a hydrocyclone. The reference article, “Effects of
urvature radius on separation behaviors of the Hydrocyclone with a tangent-circle inlet,” served as the foundation for the simulation. Comparing and validating
s findings with those in the article. The results of the current work are compared to and validated against those acquired by the paper after this simulation.

o remove heat from a surface or enhance heat transmission, high-velocity fluid jets are directed onto the surface using the water jet impingement method. The
erospace, food processing, metal forming, and electronic cooling industries are just a few of the ones that employ them.
mulations are used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to clarify and improve jet impingement processes. To accurately depict the multiphase flow behavio

NSYS Fluent VOF to DPM simulations effectively study and enhance jet impingement processes in various industries.
planar liquid surface is created when the two jets collide, as seen by the findings. The force of the jet’s impact also causes some particles to develop. As the
uid surface in the middle of the domain expands over time, additional particles are created on the body of jets and build up on top of the expanding water
urface. They have varied sizes, and their velocity diminishes as they approach the liquid surface.
addition, it is clear from the image of the mesh inside the domain that it is substantially smaller at the water-air contact than in other areas. This is because a
ecise calculation of the surface tension at the water-air interface is necessary to capture the flow instabilities that lead to droplet formation. Otherwise, the
oplet’s production location, diameter, and velocities would not be consistent with real physics.
Mixture Model
he Mixture model is a simplified Eulerian model based on a small Stokes number assumption. This model is used in multiphase mixtures where the phases
ave different velocities but are in equilibrium over small spatial longitudinal scales or multiphase mixtures with very strong homogeneous coupling and the sam
elocity for different phases. This model solves a volume fraction transport equation for each defined secondary phase. This model applies to the
ubble, slurry (non-Newtonian), and water droplets regarding flow regime. Practical examples of this model include deposition phenomena, cyclone separators,
w particle carrier flows, and bubble flows carrying a low gas volume fraction. The mixture model, like the VOF model, has a single fluid perspective but differs
om the VOF model; first, the mixture model allows the phases to penetrate each other, and secondly, the mixture model allows the phases to move at different
elocities if the concept of Slip Velocity is used.
mixture is any combination of two or more immiscible fluids that coexist inside a computational region in the context of multiphase flow simulations. Different
haracteristics of the liquids in a combination may include composition, density, and viscosity. It’s crucial to precisely model each fluid phase’s behavior and
teractions while modeling a combination. In multiphase flow simulations, modeling mixtures is essential for the following reasons:

Phase Distribution: It is necessary to ascertain how each fluid phase is distributed within the computational domain. The most common way to accomplish th
by monitoring the volume fractions of each phase using techniques like the Volume of Fluid (VOF) or Eulerian-Eulerian approaches.
Interfacial Dynamics: The interface between the various fluid phases is critical in mixture simulations. To effectively model the behavior of the mixture, surfac
nsion forces, interfacial shear stresses, and mass transport across the interface must be considered.
Phase Properties: The density, viscosity, and composition of each fluid phase in the mixture can vary. These characteristics, such as flow patterns, phase
eparation, and mixing, might affect the behavior of the mixture as a whole. For accurate simulations, phase properties must be adequately characterized.
Flow Regimes: Different flow regimes may exist within the mixture depending on the relative velocities and concentrations of the fluid components. These
ould be annular flow, slug flow, stratified flow, or dispersed flow. Predicting the mixture’s overall behavior requires an understanding of the flow regime.
Heat and Mass Transfer: Heat and mass transfer between the fluid phases can be substantial in many mixed simulations. This includes natural occurrences
uch as chemical reactions, evaporation, condensation, and dissolution. These transfer processes must be modeled to represent the mixture’s overall behavior
ccurately.
Solver and Numerical Methods: The accuracy and effectiveness of modeling mixtures can be affected by the solver and numerical methods selected for the
mulation. Careful consideration should be given to selecting suitable solvers, discretization strategies, and convergence criteria to achieve dependable and
ccurate findings.
ixture simulations are frequently employed in many industries, including chemical processing, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and environmental engineering.
ngineers and academics can obtain critical insights into the functionality of multiphase systems and improve their design and operation by precisely simulating
e behavior of mixtures.
wo-dimensional contours of temperature, velocity, and mass transfer rate between two phases (surface evaporation rate), air volume fraction, liquid water

he results of Table 3 of the publication above serve as the foundation for validating the current simulation. The model evaporation rate reported in the research

avitation is a phenomenon in which microscopic spaces filled with vapor occur in a liquid when the static pressure of the liquid falls below the vapor pressure o

various engineering disciplines, cavitation is a significant source of wear. Repeatedly exploding, collapsing cavities that detonate near the metal surface

he time-frequency coefficient of this mass transfer is defined as 0.1, and the saturation temperature for the condensation process occurrence is given as 46 C.
ondensation in this model takes place inside a shell and tube condenser. As a result, cooling water with a flow rate of 5 kg/s and a temperature of 20 C travels
rough the condenser pipes (tube).
ith a flow rate of 10 m/s and a saturation temperature of 46 C inside the shell, water vapor is moving there. Due to contact with the outside of the inner cold

wo-dimensional and three-dimensional contours relating to pressure, velocity, temperature, water vapor volume fraction, liquid water volume fraction, and the
ass transfer rate between water and steam or condensation are acquired after the solution process. The contours demonstrate that the hot steam stream

s seen in the images, the simulation process advances and a more significant volume proportion of liquid water is created, demonstrating that the condensatio
ocess is occurring. As seen in the velocity and pressure contour, the wake region is also visible once the flow crosses the 90-degree bend. A 90-degree pipe
auses secondary flows at the output boundary due to the fluid flow.
ulerian Model
he Eulerian model is one of the most complex models for defining multiphase flows. This model separately solves each phase’s momentum and continuity
quations. In contrast, in the Mixture and VOF methods, only the equations for the primary phase are solved (the equations are not solved for the initial phase).
he basis of this model is that the Navier-Stokes equations were considered separately for each phase. Applications for the Eulerian model include bubble
olumns, vertical risers, particle suspension, and fluidized beds.
computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the Eulerian model is a popular method for simulating fluid flow and transport events. It is based on splitting the
omputational domain into a fixed grid and solving the fluid’s parameters at each grid point, including velocity, pressure, and concentration.
he Navier-Stokes equations for fluid flow and the advection-diffusion equation for species movement are among the governing equations in the Eulerian mode
hich treats the fluid as a continuous medium and solves them in a fixed reference frame. The fluid properties are thought to be evenly distributed and
omogeneous inside each grid cell, according to the model.
Grid-Based Approach: The computational domain is discretized into a grid or mesh, with each grid cell standing in for a single tiny volume element. The fluid
haracteristics, including velocity, pressure, and concentration, are solved at each grid point.
Conservation Equations: The governing equations are solved for each grid cell, including the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid flow and the advection-
ffusion equation for species transport. These equations consider the movement of species or other necessary quantities and the conservation of mass,
omentum, and energy.
Turbulence Modeling: Turbulence manifests as a complicated phenomenon in many fluid flow conditions. The effects of turbulence on the flow field can be
aptured in the Eulerian model using various turbulence models, such as the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations or large eddy simulation
ES).
Boundary Conditions: At the edges of the computational area, boundary conditions define the characteristics of the flow. These prerequisites may include
edetermined values, velocities, pressure gradients, or other pertinent characteristics. To get accurate and physically plausible results, proper boundary
onditions are essential.
Discretization and Solver: Using numerical techniques like finite difference, finite Volume, or finite element approaches, the governing equations are
scretized. Numerical solvers like the SIMPLE algorithm or the conjugate gradient method are then repeatedly used to solve the resulting algebraic equations.

fundamental CFD study of the gas-solid flow field in fluidized bed polymerization reactors

sing the ANSYS Fluent software, a fluidized bed polymerization reactor is simulated. We carry out this CFD project and do a CFD analysis to look at it. Using
atalysts, a reactor is a device that performs chemical reactions (conversion, composition, decomposition, etc.), transforming raw materials into desired product
eactors must be designed with higher efficiency but lower cost and energy consumption due to the economics of their production; as a result, factors like
olume, temperature, pressure, particle concentration, particle residence time, heat transfer coefficient, and reaction rate are crucial when designing reactors.
hemical reactors can be categorized in various ways: homogeneous, heterogeneous, pipe and tank reactors, fixed and fluidized bed reactors, and continuous
nd discontinuous reactors. In fixed bed reactors, the solids operate as a catalyst by remaining stationary inside the reactor as the reactants move across them,
acting and ejecting the reactor. Solids are reactants or catalysts suspended in the flow under pressure in these fluidized bed reactors.
here are benefits to using a fluidized bed reactor, such as high heat and mass transfer rates, a smaller heat transfer surface, consistent temperature
stribution, proper temperature control, and complete and quick mixing of reactors and catalysts. The capacity to manage temperature and prevent the
oduction of hot spots, which is essential for any reaction, is the fundamental benefit of the fluidized bed-type reactor over the fixed bed type. Numerous
dustrial uses for fluidized bed reactors exist, including petrochemical, chemical, electricity generation, incineration, etc. With straightforward geometry, this issu

s a result, the pressure decrease is shown as a function of time. The facet average was used to calculate the pressure drop over time (every 0.2 seconds), and
e results from the article were compared. The article’s illustration in Figure 6 was utilized to validate the results of the current numerical simulation. This graph
splays the model’s internal pressure decline over 4 seconds. The numerical simulation findings of the present with those of the numerical work of the article ar
ompared.
everse osmosis CFD Simulation using ANSYS Fluent software is the subject of this simulation. Fluid tends to migrate from a solution with a lower concentratio
a greater concentration until the concentration on both sides is balanced, as demonstrated by the natural phenomenon known as osmosis. Imagine a
emipermeable membrane separating that pure and impure water.
hen a pressure differential between the two pure and impure sections (on both sides of the membrane) first arises, water movement, according to the osmosis
henomena, is in the direction of impurity. The osmotic pressure difference is the name given to this pressure variation. This fluid transfer from the pure to the
mpure parts of the system is stopped if a pressure corresponding to the osmotic pressure is applied to the non-specific component. The direction of water’s
atural flow is reversed if this pressure is higher than the osmotic pressure.
ater desalination systems using reverse osmosis operate precisely following this process. These devices reversely apply pressure toward the semipermeable
embranes higher than the osmotic pressure. Salt and other contaminants are separated from base water by passing through filters.
his Project has undergone two simulations and has two difficulties. In the first Project, osmotic pressure-related fluid behavior is the only topic covered and
odeled in a closed chamber split into two sections. It is intended to remove a barrier between these two sections simultaneously.

saltwater solution is on the left side of the chamber, and the right is pure water. This simulation aims to examine the flow of fluid between two regions with
arious concentrations. This displacement can convey the ideas of osmotic pressure and the osmotic phenomenon.
the first Project is authorized, the reverse osmosis water desalination technology will be researched in the second Project. In this simulation, the system
hamber’s center is covered by a membrane. A porous medium has defined the membrane. Water and salt travel toward the membrane as they enter the
hamber through the intake on the model’s left side. Pure water travels through the membrane once the solution approaches and contacts it, whereas salty or
ghly concentrated water is retained behind it.
wo-dimensional contours relating to the pressure and volume percentage of water and salt have been produced when the solution process is complete. The
sults have been compared at various intervals to acquire the system’s behavior over time because the solution is unstable. An animation showing how the
olume percentage of salt soluble in water changes has also been obtained. Both simulation modes yield the same results in every case.
he system is not subjected to any external boundary constraints in the first simulation, which has a closed enclosure. The model’s left side initially has water
nd salt, while the right side solely has pure water. The fluid is observed to flow from the side with a greater concentration to the side with a lower concentration
ver time, according to the data.
his displacement continues until equilibrium is reached for the concentration on both sides of the system. Without the help of outside forces, this fluid motion
ccurs naturally. This occurrence demonstrates the fluid’s osmotic characteristic, accurately described in the issue.
he second simulation fills the system’s middle with a porous membrane or medium. Beyond the osmotic pressure, the water and salt solution travels toward th
embrane at a certain speed and pressure. According to osmotic pressure, this movement goes against how fluids typically travel.
he findings demonstrate that while clean water can travel through the membrane, salt dissolved in the water cannot because it is retained behind the
embrane. This motion continues until pure water is acquired after the membrane and an entirely concentrated solution is obtained behind the membrane.
hese outcomes demonstrate the effectiveness of the reverse osmosis sweetening system and the efficiency of the water filtration procedure. The fluid pressure
fference on both sides of the reverse osmosis system also grows over time by pressure changes.

nconfined Pool Boiling
he saturated water pool boiling inside a cylindrical chamber is the subject of this research. Pool boiling is the term used to describe the boiling of a heated
urface submerged in a sizable amount of still liquid. Saturated pool boiling is used when the liquid is at its boiling point. Subcooled pool boiling is used when th
uid is below its boiling point. The second chapter of the Eulerian Multiphase Model Training Course is contained in this package.
academic experimental applications where circumstances like ONB (Onset of Nucleate Boiling), DNB (Departure from Nucleate Boiling), and CHF (Critical

thermodynamic model called the “wet steam model” explains the characteristics and behavior of steam that comprises a mixture of liquid and vapor. It is
equently utilized in engineering settings where steam is a working fluid, like power plants.
he quality or dryness fraction, which denotes the proportion of the mass of vapor to the total mass of the mixture, is used in the wet steam model to calculate
e attributes of the steam mixture. Pure liquid water has a quality of 0, while pure dry vapor has a quality of 1.
Saturation Curve: A saturation curve in the wet steam model often represents the boundary separating the liquid and vapor phases of steam. The relationship
etween temperature and pressure at which steam is in equilibrium between the two phases is depicted by this curve.
Enthalpy and Entropy: The wet steam model considers the enthalpy and entropy of the steam combination. The mixture’s total energy content, including
ensible heat and latent heat, is represented by enthalpy. Entropy is a measurement of the system’s disorder or randomness.
Phase Change: The wet steam model accounts for the phase change processes when the steam combination condenses or evaporates. Latent heat transfer
hich alters the mixture’s temperature and enthalpy, is included in this.
Property Calculations: The wet steam model offers equations to compute the particular Volume, specific enthalpy, specific entropy, and specific internal
nergy of the steam mixture. These characteristics are frequently described as quality, pressure, and temperature functions.
Steam Tables: To provide tabulated values of steam properties in various situations, steam tables are frequently used with the wet steam model. These tables
ontain temperature, pressure, Volume, enthalpy, entropy, quality, and specific Volume data.
Transitions Between Different Steam Quality States: The wet steam model supports changes in the steam quality from wet to dry or vice versa. To precisel
mulate the behavior of the steam, these transitions, which can take place during procedures like throttling, expansion, or condensation, are crucial.
s essential to remember that there are various wet steam model versions, each with its own presumptions and mathematical formulas. Depending on the
pplication and the needed level of precision, a particular model may be employed. The wet steam model, in general, is a helpful tool for engineers and
searchers to assess and build steam-based systems, assuring effective and secure operation in various industries, including power generation, chemical
ocessing, and thermal systems.
he current issue uses the ANSYS Fluent program to simulate steam condensation inside an ejector. The system used to investigate the condensation process’
ccurrence belongs to an ejector. An ejector is a mechanical tool that draws in the secondary material using an actuator fluid.
he suction substance, the two actuator fluids, and the mixture are removed from the system. Ejectors have two primary uses: vacuuming and sucking gases
nd mixing fluids. According to the continuity equation, the ejector structure takes the shape of a convergent-divergent tube that receives the driving fluid and
asses through the nozzle’s converging part, increasing the velocity of the passing fluid by decreasing its cross-sectional area. In other words, the fluid’s potenti
nergy is transformed into kinetic energy.
ollowing Bernoulli’s law, the fluid pressure then falls with increasing velocity, which predicts that the fluid’s kinetic energy will do the same. The secondary
aterial is drawn into the ejector due to the pressure decrease, creating a compressive vacuum inside the ejector. The primary stimulation fluid and the suction
econdary material are combined and squeezed in the diffuser section.

After the solution process, we acquire two-
dimensional contours corresponding to pressure
velocity, temperature, turbulent kinetic energy,
and the mass production rate of liquid vapor (the
same as the density rate). By rotating this two-
dimensional contour around the central axis,
generating a three-dimensional contour of the
same values is also feasible. One of the most
significant conclusions that may be examined is
the pace at which liquid mass is generated.

ocesses, construct and improve reactors, and examine the behavior of multiphase systems such as gas-liquid or gas-solid flows. These simulations help
crease process effectiveness, lower costs, and guarantee safe operation.
Power Generation: In the power generation sector, including nuclear and thermal power plants, multiphase flow simulations examine coolant flow,
ondensation processes, and steam dynamics. These models aid in predicting pressure drop, optimizing heat exchanger design, and improving the overall pow
oduction system efficiency.
Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology: Multiphase flow simulations are used in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to research fluid mixing, mass
ansfer, and reaction kinetics in bioreactors and other process machinery. They help to ensure product quality and process scalability by optimizing the
anufacturing of medicines, vaccines, and biofuels.

ocessing equipment, such as mixers, heat exchangers, and spray dryers. These simulations help with process optimization, product quality enhancement, and
od safety assurance.

pipelines and mineral processing machinery. These simulations assist in maximizing the recovery of essential minerals, avoiding losses, and optimizing the
esign and operation of mineral processing plants.

The sector faces a sizable issue with separating
particles from the gas flow. A Venturi scrubber
that eliminates gas particles is one of the most
excellent methods for overcoming this problem.
Additionally, it is more effective than other
scrubbers (such as wet and cyclone scrubbers).
The purpose of venturi scrubbers is to collect an
remove particles with high efficiency (above
99%). Venturi is widely employed to remove
various particles in numerous sectors due to the
high capabilities when the Volume of incoming
gas and its temperature are high.
gh liquid-to-gas ratio, liquid atomization, and open structure allow for the efficient, low-maintenance purification of severely polluted gases with infinite flow
versibility. Venturi is one of the most adaptable systems because it can simultaneously eliminate hazardous gases and particles under various circumstances.
his scrubber is employed in various sectors since Venturi is typically used in the initial stage of multistage systems to manage gas or air flow pollution.
his research stimulated an industrial Venturi scrubber using ANSYS Fluent software. Venturi scrubbers collect up to 0.1 micrometer-sized particles and gas
ollutants. Despite having a large amount of water inside, the device increases the number of particles and toxins that water contacts.
s a result, the scrubber traps the particles and removes them from the fluid. The current Venturi Scrubber was simulated, and it was found that this device has
e efficiency needed for industrial applications. The Venturi scrubber atomizes the gas flow scrubber using the energy from the intake gas.
he convergent, the throat, and the divergent make up the Venturi scrubber. As the area shrinks, the gas flow rate increases as it enters the convergent region.
he system also receives a fluid addition at the converging part’s throat or intake. High-speed gas entering the system travels via the throat, where the liquid is
dded, and many droplets are created.
he throat is where impurities and particulates are removed from the gas stream. It happens when tiny liquid droplets and the oncoming gas stream collide. Afte
at, the incoming gas travels in that direction. It is the location where the flow will escape slowly and drown in water.
high-pressure loss
needs much electricity
he device is simulated accurately because it is shown that when the pressure in the Venturi lowers, velocity and turbulence increase, and water and particle
sturbances work better. This Project simulates a Venturi 720 series scrubber in size 720-2. However, supposing we wanted to employ a Venturi scrubber in a
fferent industry (with a different gas flow or particle flow). This simulation size allows for faster attainment of the ideal condition for the targeted industry.
ccording to the supplied data, the planned water nozzles and flow characteristics could contain sand particles. Only 0.02% of the injected particles could
scape, demonstrating astounding efficiency. It can therefore be deployed without hesitation on the industrial trunk line for which it is intended.
his Project discusses a well-known impact turbine. The only impact hydraulic turbine in operation right now is the Pelton turbine. The energy produced by this
rbine is produced by a fluid jet following Newton’s second law. This turbine rotates the runner by being struck by a pressure water nozzle tangentially to the
ucket attached to the runner.

fectively in addition to the applied force
alance. There are several sizes of the pellets.
ecause these turbines are explicitly made for

nd tiny sizes are used to produce electricity in

elton took the effort to create a separator that would split the input jet into two equally sized streams. The efficiency of the water cycle was raised using the
ame concept from 35% to 90%. Impact turbines can be of various types. However, Pelton’s model is still the most effective.
ozzles are arranged so one can direct and tangentially fling its water jet toward the center of each plate and the disk. The input jet is separated into two equal
reams by a separator or splitter before entering each plate. Following going through a curved path on the inside of the plate in the opposite direction of the inp
t, these two equal streams exit the plate. This Project aims to determine Pelton’s produced momentum and lateral force to choose the best axis.
