Flow characteristic of steam jet condensed into a water pipe flow- a numerical study

Qiang Xu et al.

Summary: Gas-liquid two-phase jet condensation is highly efficient in heat and mass transfer, making it crucial for the optimization design and safe operation of industrial processes. In this study, a numerical simulation method was developed to investigate steam-water two-phase jet condensation, focusing on the shape of the steam plume, pressure and velocity distribution, and heat and mass transfer at the two-phase interface. The results showed that as the steam mass flux increased, the steam plume lengthened and transformed from a cone to a cylinder-cone shape. The heat transfer coefficients varied from 1.71 MW/m(2) K to 3.51 MW/m(2) K based on the interfacial area of the steam plume, and from 2398.80 MW/m(3) K to 5040.07 MW/m(3) K based on the volume of the two-phase region.

Interfacial characteristics of steam jet condensation in subcooled water pipe flow - An experimental and numerical study

Qiang Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the condensation of subsonic and sonic steam jets in subcooled water pipe flow through experimental and numerical methods. The shape of steam plumes and various thermal hydraulic parameters, heat and mass transfer processes are analyzed. The results show that as the Reynolds number of water increases, the length of steam plumes gradually shortens and takes on a conical shape. At the end of the two-phase region, where the steam volume fraction is 0.001, the water dynamic pressure reaches its maximum while the steam dynamic pressure drops suddenly at the nozzle outlet. The pressure, velocity, and temperature of the jet exhibit self-similarity in the single-phase region. Heat and mass transfer mainly occur in the two-phase region with steam volume fractions between 0.01 and 0.99, with the maximum mass transfer observed at the phase interface with a steam volume fraction of 0.60.

Experimental Study on Vortex-Induced Vibration Coupling Wake Interference of Multi-Riser Groups with Sensitive Spacing

Wang Yu et al.

Summary: This study experimentally investigates the interference effect of vortex-induced vibration on tandem riser groups under sensitive spacing. It is found that the wake shielding effect is widely present in tandem riser groups, and the interference effect of midstream and downstream risers on their upstream risers is significantly lower than that of upstream risers on midstream and downstream risers. The study also reveals the presence of multiple modes and mode conversion mechanism in the riser groups.

Zhi Xu et al.

Summary: As an efficient clean energy, natural gas hydrate (NGH) has gained significant attention in recent research. China has made remarkable achievements in NGH exploration in the South China Sea, but there are three major challenges: inconsistent focus, outdated resource evaluation methods, and inaccurate evaluation results. Future research should improve evaluation methods, adopt new theories and methods, enhance the study of different basin conditions, and innovate resource potential evaluation.

Fluid-Structure Interaction of Two-Phase Flow Passing Through 90° Pipe Bend Under Slug Pattern Conditions

Wang Zhi-wei et al.

Summary: This study used numerical simulations to investigate the fluid-structure interaction response induced by slug flow across a 90 degrees pipe bend. The results showed that the evolution characteristics of slug flow were influenced by different superficial gas and liquid velocities. The maximum total deformation and equivalent stress were found to increase with increasing superficial gas velocity, while decreasing with increasing superficial liquid velocity, indicating a cyclical impact on the pipe bend.
