Abstract
To improve the utilization rate of flyash, refining flyash is an important approach, and steam power grinding with superheated steam is an important equipment to meet the fine particle size requirements of flyash grinding. A 2.4 m height jet mill with four Laval nozzles has been employed here, and FLUENT is adopted to numerically simulate the distribution of fluid velocity and pressure in the flow field within the model. Meanwhile, parameter investigation is also carried out to reveal the effect of nozzle spacing and nozzle inclination angle on fluid filed and average particle velocity distribution. It is found that both spacing and nozzle inclination angle can affect the average particle velocity simultaneously. From the present parameter investigation, it can be concluded that Model 2 (nozzle spacing is 455 mm) with an inclination angle of 4° is the best choice since it can provide largest particle velocity distribution along the vertical direction.
