Study and Simulation for Optimization Plan of the Fluidization Quality of the Bulk Cement Tanker Device

Abstract:

The paper is focused on some types of bulk cement tank truck, proposed to several research programs to improve the fluidization quality. The fluidization models of the fluidized bed were created in the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software FLUENT, which were then used for simulation for an improved fluidization process, and finally the fluidization quality was analyzed. To improve the quality of fluidization for the bulk cement tanker, the paper also synthesized all the programs which proposed and simulated in FLUENT. The simulation results show that the fluidization quality of the cement in tanker may be improved by adopting 40° side splitter board, with curve fluidization board substituting rectangle board, as well as by using larger gas inlet velocity. The improvement of their structure in the original basis of bulk materials vehicles can improve their serviceability and work efficiency.
