Abstract:
Experiments of dense-phase pneumatic conveying of pulverized coal using nitrogen are carried out in an experimental test facility with the conveying pressure up to 4.0 MPa and the gas-solid ratio up to 450 kg/m3.The influences of different conveying differential pressures, coal moisture contents, gas volume flow rates and superficial velocities on the solid-gas ratios are investigated.Shannon entropy analysis of pressure fluctuation time series is developed to reveal the flow characteristics.Through investigation of the distribution of the Shannon entropy under different conditions, the flow stability and the evolutional tendency of the Shannon entropy in different regimes and regime transition processes are discovered, and the relationship between the Shannon entropy and the flow regimes is also established.The results indicate that the solid-gas ratio and the Shannon entropy rise with the increase in conveying differential pressure.The solid-gas ratio and the Shannon entropy reveal preferable regularity with gas volume flow rates.The Shannon entropy is different for different flow regimes, and can be used to identify the flow regimes.Both mass flow rate and the Shannon entropy decrease with the increase in moisture contents.The Shannon entropy analysis is a feasible approach for researching the characteristics of flow regimes, flow stability and flow regime transitions in dense-phase pneumatic conveying under high pressure.
