Study of Heat Transfer in Pneumatic Pulsator

Abstract:

The article presents selected results of research work aimed to rationalize and optimize the design of the pneumatic pulsator due to thermal conditions. Pneumatic pulsator is a device used in industry storing bulk and loose materials. It is attached to the silo, allowing their correct operation. The air friction against the inner wall of the pulsator causes the release of heat. In order to investigate the conditions of heat transfer, thermal calculations were made and then numerical simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) were conducted. Various fins options were examined. The objective was to maximize the heat flux discharged from the device. Temperature distribution on the surface of the fins designated by CFD corresponds to the distribution designated analytically. The results were confirmed by industrial tests. Numerical simulations mapping the heat exchange processes in a pneumatic pulsator have not yet been carried out.
