Abstract: In this work, a cooling coherent round nozzle was developed and the impact of nozzle placement (i.e. nozzle angle and stand-off/impinging distance) on the machinability of Ti-6Al-4V was evaluated. Key process measures were cutting force, workpiece temperature, tool wear, burr formation and average surface roughness (Ra). Experimental results showed that nozzle position at a 15° angle in the feed direction and 45°/60° against feed direction assisted in minimising workpiece temperature. A stand-off distance of 55 and 75 mm is also necessary to control burr formation, workpiece temperature and Ra, but coherent nozzle orientation has no statistically significant impact on the mean values of cutting force and tool wear. It can be concluded that stand-off distance is more substantially significant than nozzle angles when step shoulder milling Ti-6Al- 4V using vegetable oil-based cutting fluid.
Abstract: In this work, the results of mixing study by a jet mixer in a tank have been investigated in the laboratory scale. The tank dimensions are H/D=1 and the jet entrance have been considered in
the center of upper surface of tank. RNG-k-ε model is used as the
turbulent model for the prediction of the pattern of turbulent flow
inside the tank. For this purpose, a tank with volume of 110 liter is
simulated and it has been divided into 410,000 tetrahedral control
cells for performing the calculations. The grids at the vicinity of the
nozzle and suction pare are finer to get more accurate results. The
experimental results showed that in a vertical jet, the lowest mixing
time takes place at 35 degree. In addition, mixing time decreased by
increasing the Reynolds number. Furthermore, the CFD simulation
predicted the items as well a flow patterns precisely that validates the
experiments.
Abstract: Behavior of turbulent jet is relying on jet parameters,
environmental and geometric parameters. In this research, it has
attempt to Study effect of jet parameters of internal angle on
maximum effective length and velocity on centerline from nozzle
experimentally. Toward this end, four internal angles 30, 45, 60 and
90-degree are considered for this study in a flume with 600cm as
long, 100cm as high and 150cm in width. Various discharges were
used to evaluate effective length for a wide range of densimetric
Froude numbers F0, from 17.9 to 39.4 that is defined at the nozzle. As
a result, It is revealed that both velocity on centerline and effective
length decreases when nozzle angle decreased from 90° to 30°. The
results show that, for all range of Fr0 the Um/U0 ratio for nozzle with
α=90° on centerline increases 20% - 27% than nozzle with α=30° that
has lowest velocity on centerline than other nozzle.
