Optimisation Analysis of Structural Parameters of an Annular Slot Ejector Based on the Coanda Effect

الملخص EN

To investigate the effect of structural parameters on the performance of an annular slot ejector, a series of numerical simulations were conducted with single-factor analysis.

Moreover, a multifactor grey relational analysis was applied to examine the correlations between the structural parameters and entrainment ratio.

Subsequently, the optimised model was verified by comparing the simulated results with experimental data.

Results show that the performance of the optimised ejector model was improved.

The RNG k-ε turbulent transport mode can simulate the internal field characteristics of an annular slot ejector, and the corresponding simulated results, as verified by experiment, satisfy engineering requirements.

In addition, a quantitative correlation between structural parameters and entrainment ratio was obtained as follows: e (nozzle clearance) > θ (diffusing chamber angle) > HL (mixing chamber length) > d (throat diameter) > KL (diffusing chamber length).

This work may provide a certain guiding significance for the design and application of annular slot ejectors.
