Abstract

Among the parameters which determine the erosion damage sustained by the walls of a nozzle, in which a mixture of gas and particles is flowing is the speed attained by the particle before collision with the wall surface. This work is concerned with the determination of the particle velocity, and a number of relationships are given from which the variation in particle velocity can be obtained for a variety of gas conditions. The changes of state and velocity of the gas, occasioned by the interchange of heat and work between the gas and the particles are dependent on the ratio of the mass flow rate of particles to the mass flow rate of gas. It is shown that if this ratio is small the particle velocity may be obtained without serious error by assuming that the gas conditions are not affected by the presence of particles. Figures for the limiting value of this ratio for certain flows are given. The effects of particle size, density and initial relative velocity are investigated analytically and experimentally.
