Results of numerical simulation of a cavitation disperser of liquid feeds

Abstract

The substantiation of the design-technological scheme of a rotary cavitation disperser-homogenizer, which contains a loading container, a cover, an outlet pipe, inlet pipes for bulk and liquid components, a stator with diffusers and a through hole, a rotor with resonators, blades and a shaft, a bearing assembly and an electric motor, has been carried out. The presented results of numerical simulation in the Star CCM + software package of the proposed rotary cavitation disperser-homogenizer make it possible to assert that there is a process of cavitation dispersion and homogenization based on the obtained distributions and dynamics of the velocity of movement of the liquid phase of the mixture, the pressure and concentration of the gaseous phase of the liquid in the diffuser. This allows us to continue research to substantiate the design and technological parameters of the developed technical means for the preparation of liquid feed.
