The Effect of Different Nozzle Configurations on Airflow Behaviour and Yarn Quality
Nozzle is the main part of various spinning systems
such as air-jet and Murata air vortex systems. Recently, many
researchers worked on the usage of the nozzle on different spinning
systems such as conventional ring and compact spinning systems. In
these applications, primary purpose is to improve the yarn quality. In
present study, it was produced the yarns with two different nozzle
types and determined the changes in yarn properties. In order to
explain the effect of the nozzle, airflow structure in the nozzle was
modelled and airflow variables were determined. In numerical
simulation, ANSYS 12.1 package program and Fluid Flow (CFX)
analysis method was used. As distinct from the literature, Shear
Stress Turbulent (SST) model is preferred. And also air pressure at
the nozzle inlet was measured by electronic mass flow meter and
these values were used for the simulation of the airflow. At last, the
yarn was modelled and the area from where the yarn is passing was
included to the numerical analysis.
