Abstract:

The mode experiment is respectively done under condition of different amount of gas supply, different shape of gas admission room, different cross-section shape of flow channel. Results show that pressure descend of U shape cross-section slot is smaller than the rectangle cross-section slot in the equal fault stream section situation, so flow distribution characteristic of U shape cross-section slot is better. The experiment results are consistent with numerical simulation results. In addition, numerical simulation results also indicate that the mass of gas diffusing from U shape cross-section slot to the diffusion layer is over greater, and U shape cross-section flow channel has a higher gas utilization ratio.
