ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF SOLID-LIQUID MIXED FERTILIZER DEVICE FOR ORGANIC FERTILIZER ON SOLID-LIQUID TWO-PHASE FLOW

Abstract

Organic fertilizer applicator currently has poor versatility toward different properties. A solid-liquid mixed fertilizer device is designed based on the numerical simulation method of solid-liquid two-phase flow. Based on the parameters analysis and viscosity measurement of different organic fertilizer particles, the ribbon-screw type agitator was selected as the basic structure. Using Box-Behnken, three test factors including agitator speed, the mixture ratio of fertilizer and water, agitator height were determined, the agitator was optimized with the test evaluation indexes, the density variation coefficient, and agitator shaft power on 10 mixing planes in the agitator. The result showed that the rotating speed was 80 r/min, the mixing ratio of fertilizer and water was 1.2, and the agitator height was 700 mm, the working parameter combination is optimal. A coarse particle solid-liquid two-phase flow model of the fertilizer discharge pump was established, to obtain the external characteristic curve of the fertilizer pump and analyse the influence of different mixing ratios of fertilizer and rotation speed on the fertilizer pump. In order to prevent the separation of fertilizer and water and achieve better effect, 1140 r/min was comprehensively determined as the working speed of the fertilizer pump. The strength of the agitator meets the working requirements. The solid-liquid deep fertilizer device text bench for organic fertilizer was set up under the optimal working parameters, the result shows that the research results can provide a reference for the design of organic fertilizer solid-liquid mixing fertilizer applicator.
