This research constructs an abraded multi-granularity particle bed filter using the coupling of the discrete element method and computational fluid dynamics, and examines the filtration characteristics of fine particulate matter at high temperatures. The findings show that the abraded multi-granularity beds have higher pressure drop and filtration efficiency compared to uniform size granular beds. The mixed configuration of multi-granularity beds yields higher filtration efficiencies with lesser escalation in pressure drop compared to stratified bed structures. Higher temperatures require an increase in inlet flow rate to maintain filtration efficiency beyond 90%.
The transformation of internal filter granules into a heterogeneous size distribution through abrasion alters filtration properties. This research constructs an abraded multi-granularity particle bed filter via unidirectional coupling of the discrete element method and computational fluid dynamics. The study examined the filtration characteristics of fine particulate matter at high temperatures. The findings indicate that the abraded multigranularity beds were higher than the uniform size granular beds in both pressure drop and filtration efficiency. The abraded multi-granularity bed enhances filtration efficiency with a proportionally minor increase in pressure drop relative to the uniform size granular bed. In comparison to a stratified bed structure, the mixed configuration of the multi-granularity bed yields greater filtration efficiencies with less escalation in pressure drop. To maintain filtration efficiency beyond 90%, higher temperatures necessitate an augmented inlet flow rate, requiring an increase by a factor of 2.23 at 1000 K relative to 300 K.
