Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of ejector operation optimization technology, and in particular to a method, device and medium for calculating the back pressure range of ejector operation. Background Technology
[0002] An ejector is a fluid device that uses a high-energy working fluid to eject a low-energy entrained fluid, achieving mixing and pressurization. It is widely used in systems such as combined heat and power (CHP), waste heat recovery, and refrigeration. In engineering applications, ejector performance is highly sensitive to outlet back pressure. Current technology typically uses the critical back pressure as the operating criterion, assuming that the ejector maintains good performance when the outlet back pressure is below the critical back pressure. However, the critical operating range is usually quite wide. Even when the ejector operates below the critical back pressure, under varying operating conditions, issues such as decreased pressurization performance or deteriorated operating efficiency may still occur. This is because the critical back pressure mainly reflects the boundary between critical and subcritical operating conditions, and it is difficult to further characterize the changes in flow structure and differences in pressurization capacity within the critical operating range. In fact, the internal pressurization process of the ejector is usually completed by the combined action of shock wave compression and diffuser diffusion. Specifically, the fluid first achieves pressure increase through the shock wave structure, and then further converts kinetic energy into pressure energy in the diffuser. When the shock wave enters the diffuser, it can easily disrupt the internal flow state of the diffuser, resulting in a decrease in diffusion capacity, which in turn affects the pressurization performance and operational stability of the ejector.
[0003] Therefore, existing technologies only use the critical back pressure as the performance boundary and do not consider the relative relationship between the shock train position and the boundaries of the mixing and diffuser chambers as operational criteria. Consequently, it is difficult to further determine the target back pressure range that is more conducive to the stable and efficient operation of the ejector within a wider critical operating range. In addition, existing technologies rely heavily on condition-by-condition testing or numerical simulation analysis to determine the operating range, which suffers from problems such as large computational load, high calibration costs, and low efficiency in engineering applications. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve rapid calculation and prediction of the operating back pressure range under different operating conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a method, device, and medium for calculating the back pressure range of an ejector, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that it is difficult to quickly predict the back pressure range under different operating conditions.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following solution: Firstly, this application provides a method for calculating the back pressure range of an ejector operation, including: Obtain the actual operating condition parameters and structural parameters of the ejector, wherein the actual operating condition parameters include the working steam pressure and the ejector steam pressure, and the structural parameters include the nozzle throat area and the mixing chamber cross-sectional area; Under the actual operating conditions, by analyzing the ejector coefficient variation curve of the ejector with different outlet back pressures, the outlet back pressure corresponding to the turning point of the variation curve from the plateau segment to the descending segment is determined as the upper critical back pressure, and the stable ejector coefficient corresponding to the actual operating conditions is determined. The ratio of the working steam pressure to the ejector steam pressure, the ratio of the nozzle throat area to the mixing chamber cross-sectional area, and the stable ejector coefficient are input into a pre-constructed operating back pressure range coefficient calculation model, and the operating back pressure range coefficient is output. The lower critical back pressure is calculated based on the operating back pressure range coefficient, the upper critical back pressure, and the ejector steam pressure, and the operating back pressure range of the ejector is determined based on the upper critical back pressure and the lower critical back pressure.

For the operating back pressure range, For the operating back pressure range, The ejector steam pressure is... This is the range coefficient for the operating back pressure interval.
[0008] In one embodiment, in the calculation model for the operating back pressure range coefficient, the applicable range of the working steam pressure satisfies: 7 MPa < <20 MPa; In the calculation model for the operating back pressure range coefficient, the applicable range of the ejector steam pressure satisfies: 1.5MPa < <5 MPa; In the calculation model for the operating back pressure range coefficient, the applicable range of the stable ejection coefficient satisfies: 0.52 < <2.16.
[0009] In one embodiment, the step of constructing and running a back pressure range coefficient calculation model specifically includes: Under different sample operating conditions, the upper critical back pressure and lower critical back pressure of the sample corresponding to each sample operating condition parameter are obtained to determine the sample operating back pressure range, and the sample operating back pressure range range coefficient is determined based on the sample operating back pressure range; wherein, the sample operating conditions parameters include the sample working steam pressure and the sample ejector steam pressure; Using the ratio of the sample working steam pressure to the sample ejector steam pressure, the ratio of the nozzle throat area to the mixing chamber cross-sectional area, and the sample stable ejection coefficient as independent variables, and the sample operating back pressure range coefficient as the dependent variable, a multiple linear regression fitting using the least squares method is performed to obtain the calculation model for the operating back pressure range coefficient.

The relative positions of the end positions of each shock train and the outlet cross-section of the ejector mixing chamber are compared to determine whether the end position of the shock train is located upstream of the outlet cross-section of the mixing chamber. From the multiple outlet back pressures that satisfy the condition that the end position of the shock train is located upstream of the outlet cross-section of the mixing chamber, the outlet back pressure with the smallest value is selected as the sample lower critical back pressure.
[0011] In one embodiment, the step of acquiring flow field data of the ejector under multiple different outlet back pressure conditions specifically includes: A numerical calculation model of the ejector is constructed, which includes a two-dimensional axisymmetric geometric model based on the structural parameters of the ejector, and a set of basic governing equations based on the internal flow of the ejector. Based on the established numerical calculation model, keeping the sample operating parameters unchanged, the internal flow of the ejector under multiple different outlet back pressure conditions is calculated sequentially using numerical simulation methods to obtain flow field data corresponding to each outlet back pressure.

Calculate the pressure jump intensity based on the first pressure value and the second pressure value; When the pressure jump intensity is greater than a preset intensity threshold, the pressure jump segment is determined to be the segment corresponding to the shock train, and the end position of the shock train is determined.

The upper critical back pressure and stable ejector coefficient are determined by analyzing the ejector coefficient variation curve with different outlet back pressures under actual operating conditions. Thus, this application further defines a back pressure range more conducive to efficient ejector operation on the basis of a relatively wide critical operating range, realizing rapid calculation and prediction of the operating back pressure range under different operating conditions.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] See Figure 1 This application provides a method for calculating the back pressure range of an ejector operation, comprising the following steps: S100: Obtain the actual operating condition parameters and structural parameters of the ejector. The actual operating condition parameters include the working steam pressure and the ejector steam pressure, and the structural parameters include the nozzle throat area and the mixing chamber cross-sectional area. S200: Under actual operating conditions, by analyzing the change curve of the ejector coefficient with different outlet back pressures, the outlet back pressure corresponding to the turning point of the change curve from the plateau section to the descending section is determined as the upper critical back pressure, and the stable ejector coefficient corresponding to the actual operating conditions is determined. S300: Input the ratio of working steam pressure to ejector steam pressure, the ratio of nozzle throat area to mixing chamber cross-sectional area, and stable ejector coefficient into the pre-built operating back pressure range coefficient calculation model, and output the operating back pressure range coefficient. S400: Calculate the lower critical back pressure based on the operating back pressure range coefficient, the upper critical back pressure, and the ejector steam pressure, and determine the operating back pressure range of the ejector based on the upper critical back pressure and the lower critical back pressure.
[0022] In S100, see Figure 2 Actual operating condition parameters refer to the working conditions of the ejector during operation, including the working steam pressure and the ejector steam pressure, used to describe the inlet state of the fluid. The working steam pressure is the high-energy fluid pressure at the ejector's working fluid inlet, and the ejector steam pressure is the low-energy fluid pressure at the ejector's ejector fluid inlet. Structural parameters refer to the ejector's own geometric dimensions, including the nozzle throat area and the mixing chamber cross-sectional area, used to describe the structural characteristics of the internal flow channels.
[0023] See S200. Figure 3 By continuously increasing the outlet back pressure while keeping the actual operating parameters constant, the relationship between the ejector coefficient and the outlet back pressure is obtained. When the outlet back pressure increases to the point where the ejector coefficient changes from essentially not changing with the outlet back pressure to decreasing with increasing outlet back pressure, i.e., when the ejector changes from a critical operating state to a subcritical operating state, the corresponding outlet back pressure is determined as the upper critical back pressure. p CBP This is the outlet back pressure value when the ejector transitions from a critical operating state to a subcritical operating state.
[0024] For example, the ejector coefficient can be calculated as follows: Under actual operating conditions, obtain the mass flow rate of the ejected fluid and the mass flow rate of the working fluid corresponding to any outlet back pressure; calculate the ratio of the mass flow rate of the ejected fluid to the mass flow rate of the working fluid to obtain the ejector coefficient.
[0025] In one embodiment, to improve the stability and repeatability of the upper critical back pressure determination, the turning point where the ejector coefficient curve changes from basically constant to starting to decline can be determined by a piecewise fitting method. Specifically, this includes: sorting each outlet back pressure in ascending order to obtain a back pressure sequence and a corresponding ejector coefficient sequence; based on the back pressure sequence and the ejector coefficient sequence, performing two-segment piecewise fitting on the ejector coefficient curve, where the first segment represents the plateau segment of the critical working region, and the second segment represents the declining segment of the subcritical working region; the outlet back pressure value corresponding to the intersection of the first and second fitted lines is used as a candidate turning point; and the outlet back pressure value corresponding to the candidate turning point is determined as the upper critical back pressure. .
[0026] In the above implementation, the absolute value of the slope of the first fitted line is less than the preset plateau slope threshold, and the slope of the second fitted line is less than the preset descent slope threshold, so as to distinguish between the plateau segment and the descent segment.
[0027] In one exemplary implementation, the least squares method can be used to perform linear fitting on the two data segments respectively, and the minimum sum of the fitting residuals of the two segments can be used as the criterion for selecting the segment position.
[0028] In another embodiment, the upper critical back pressure It can be determined using the differential slope threshold method, specifically by sorting the back pressures at each outlet in ascending order of value to obtain the back pressure sequence. } and the corresponding entrainment coefficient sequence { }; Calculate the difference slope between adjacent sampling points ,in: ; Determine if the differential slope meets the preset descent condition: When the differential slope is less than the preset slope threshold for multiple consecutive sampling intervals, determine if the curve of the ejector coefficient changing with the outlet back pressure enters the descent segment from the plateau segment; the outlet back pressure value corresponding to the first time the continuous descent condition is met is determined as the upper critical back pressure. .
[0029] In the above implementation, the number of consecutive sampling intervals can be set according to the number of sampling points and the data noise level to reduce the impact of local fluctuations on the inflection point identification results.
[0030] In summary, this application improves the stability, repeatability, and programmable implementation capability of the upper critical back pressure identification results by quantifying the inflection point of the curve of the ejection coefficient changing with the outlet back pressure (e.g., using a piecewise fitting method or a differential slope threshold method).
[0031] It should be noted that the stable entrainment coefficient is the average of the entrainment coefficients at multiple sampling points in the plateau segment of the entrainment coefficient-exit backpressure curve. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The average value of the ejector coefficient corresponding to the platform segment in the figure reflects the maximum ejection capability that the ejector can achieve under the current operating conditions.
[0032] In S300, the ratio of working steam pressure to ejector steam pressure, the ratio of nozzle throat area to mixing chamber cross-sectional area, and the stable ejector coefficient are obtained, and the operating back pressure range coefficient is calculated based on the above parameters. Specifically, in this embodiment, The back pressure range coefficient can be calculated using a pre-established fitting model, namely, the back pressure range calculation model. The fitting model is constructed based on sample back pressure range data determined under multiple sample operating conditions. The sample lower critical back pressure in the sample back pressure range data is determined according to the position criterion that the shock train is completely located in the mixing chamber, and is used to realize the rapid calculation of the operating back pressure range under different operating conditions.
[0033] In one exemplary embodiment, the back pressure range coefficient is operated. The calculation formula is: ; in, For working steam pressure, For the ejector steam pressure, This represents the area of the nozzle throat. The cross-sectional area of the mixing chamber is... To stabilize the entrainment coefficient, This is the back pressure range coefficient for operation. Wherein, and The unit is pressure. and The unit is area.
[0034] In S400, based on the operating back pressure range coefficient With ejector steam pressure p s Calculate the operating back pressure range Based on the operating back pressure range and upper critical back pressure Calculate the lower critical back pressure, and determine the operating back pressure range of the ejector based on the lower and upper critical back pressures. Specifically, in one exemplary embodiment, based on the operating back pressure range coefficient... With ejector steam pressure p s Calculate the operating back pressure range The steps and calculation formula are as follows: ; Based on the operating back pressure range and upper critical back pressure Calculate the lower critical back pressure, and determine the operating back pressure range of the ejector based on the lower and upper critical back pressures. Therefore, the operating back pressure range is defined as: ; in, This is the upper critical back pressure. To operate within the back pressure range, For the operating back pressure range, The calculation result is the lower critical back pressure. Through the above calculation, the back pressure range for stable and efficient operation of the ejector can be quickly obtained under given operating and structural parameters.
[0035] In some implementations, the applicable range of the operating steam pressure in the back pressure range coefficient calculation model satisfies: 7 MPa < <20 MPa; In the calculation model for the operating back pressure range coefficient, the applicable range of the ejector steam pressure satisfies: 1.5 MPa < <5 MPa; In the calculation model of the back pressure range coefficient, the applicable range of the stable ejection coefficient satisfies: 0.52 < <2.16. Within the above applicable scope, this fitting model can be used for rapid estimation of back pressure ranges and preset of operating parameters. In practical engineering applications, the calculation results can also be corrected by combining real-time measurement data or calibration data.
[0036] Ultimately, the closed interval defined by the lower critical back pressure as the lower limit and the upper critical back pressure as the upper limit is determined as the operating back pressure range of the ejector. Within this range, the shock train is entirely located within the mixing chamber and does not enter the diffuser chamber, resulting in good ejector stability and suitability for operation and control. See also Figure 3 As the outlet back pressure continues to increase, the ejector coefficient decreases further and approaches zero. Numerical simulation results show that the ejector fluid exhibits a backflow trend, and the ejector enters a reflux working state. This state is used to describe the upper limit of the ejector's operating range, but it is not used as a criterion for the upper critical back pressure in this embodiment.
[0037] In this embodiment of the application, the step of constructing the calculation model for the operating back pressure range coefficient specifically includes: obtaining the upper critical back pressure and lower critical back pressure of the sample corresponding to each sample operating condition parameter under different sample operating condition parameters, so as to determine the sample operating back pressure range, and determining the sample operating back pressure range coefficient based on the sample operating back pressure range; wherein, the sample operating condition parameters include the sample working steam pressure and the sample ejector steam pressure; using the ratio of the sample working steam pressure to the sample ejector steam pressure, the ratio of the nozzle throat area to the mixing chamber cross-sectional area, and the sample stable ejector coefficient as independent variables, and the sample operating back pressure range coefficient as the dependent variable, a multiple linear regression fitting is performed using the least squares method to obtain the calculation model for the operating back pressure range coefficient.
[0038] The determination coefficient of the back pressure range coefficient calculation model in this application reaches 0.9946, the correlation coefficient is 0.9918, the root mean square error is 0.00793, and the mean absolute percentage error is 1.34%, indicating that the model has high fitting accuracy to the sample data and can meet the needs of rapid calculation of the back pressure range in engineering applications.
[0039] The method for obtaining the upper critical back pressure of any sample operating condition parameter is the same as the method for determining the upper critical back pressure of the actual operating condition parameter, so it will not be repeated here.
[0040] Specifically, the steps for obtaining the sample-level critical back pressure under each sample's operating conditions include: under each sample's operating conditions: acquiring flow field data of the ejector under multiple different outlet back pressure conditions; extracting pressure distribution data along the ejector axis from each flow field data, and identifying shock trains inside the ejector based on the pressure distribution data to determine the end position of the shock trains; comparing the relative position of the end position of each shock train with the outlet cross-section of the ejector mixing chamber to determine whether the end position of the shock train is located upstream of the outlet cross-section of the mixing chamber, and selecting the outlet back pressure with the smallest value from among multiple outlet back pressures that satisfy the condition that the end position of the shock train is located upstream of the outlet cross-section of the mixing chamber as the sample-level critical back pressure. The sample-level critical back pressure is defined as: under given sample operating conditions, the outlet back pressure with the smallest value among all outlet back pressures that can keep the end position of the shock train upstream of the outlet cross-section of the mixing chamber.
[0041] Under specific sample operating parameters, the shock train termination positions corresponding to multiple different outlet backpressure conditions were obtained, and the relative positions of each shock train termination position and the mixing chamber outlet section were compared. When the axial coordinate of the shock train termination position is less than the axial coordinate of the mixing chamber outlet section, the outlet backpressure is determined to satisfy the condition that the shock train termination position is upstream of the mixing chamber outlet section; when the axial coordinate of the shock train termination position is greater than or equal to the axial coordinate of the mixing chamber outlet section, the outlet backpressure is determined not to satisfy the condition. Among all outlet backpressures that satisfy the condition, the outlet backpressure with the smallest value is selected as the sample lower critical backpressure. Thus, the sample lower critical backpressure characterizes the lower backpressure boundary when the shock train termination position just does not enter the diffuser. When the actual operating outlet backpressure is greater than or equal to the sample lower critical backpressure, the shock train termination position remains upstream of the mixing chamber outlet section; when the actual operating outlet backpressure is lower than the sample lower critical backpressure, the shock train termination position will cross the mixing chamber outlet section and enter the diffuser, thereby weakening the pressure boosting effect of the diffuser and affecting the ejector's operational stability.
[0042] Under a specific numerical simulation condition corresponding to the lower critical back pressure, the shock train structure inside the ejector remains stable, and its starting and ending positions do not shift significantly with changes in the outlet back pressure, indicating good anti-disturbance capability. This internal flow characteristic can serve as an auxiliary basis for determining the lower critical back pressure.
[0043] The steps for obtaining flow field data of the ejector under multiple different outlet back pressure conditions specifically include: constructing a numerical calculation model of the ejector, which includes a two-dimensional axisymmetric geometric model constructed based on the structural parameters of the ejector, and a set of basic governing equations constructed based on the internal flow of the ejector; based on the constructed numerical calculation model, keeping the sample operating condition parameters unchanged, using numerical simulation methods to calculate the internal flow of the ejector under multiple different outlet back pressure conditions in sequence, and obtaining flow field data corresponding to each outlet back pressure.
[0044] See Figure 2 Taking a steam ejector as the research object, the ejector includes structures such as an adjusting cone 1, a working nozzle 2, a nozzle throat 3, an absorption chamber a, a mixing chamber b, and a diffuser c. In this application, a two-dimensional axisymmetric geometric model is established based on the structural parameters of the ejector. That is, based on the rotational symmetry characteristics of the ejector, its three-dimensional solid structure is simplified into a two-dimensional cross-section through the central axis.
[0045] In this embodiment, the flow inside the ejector is assumed to be steady-state, compressible turbulent flow, neglecting the effects of gravity and phase transition. Mass conservation, momentum conservation, and energy conservation equations are established as the basic governing equations, and a shear stress transfer (SST k-ω) turbulence model is used to enclose the turbulence effects. Thus, based on the fundamental physical laws of fluid mechanics, a set of governing equations describing the flow is established, and the shear stress transfer turbulence model is selected to characterize the turbulence, completing the numerical modeling and solution of the compressible turbulent flow inside the ejector.
[0046] This step also includes mesh generation and solution setup: a structured mesh is generated for the two-dimensional axisymmetric geometric model, with local refinement in areas such as the nozzle exit, mixing chamber, and diffuser inlet. The final computational mesh is determined through mesh independence verification; for example, the mesh density is gradually increased for multiple trial calculations until key results no longer change significantly with further mesh refinement. The mesh selected at this point is the final computational mesh. During the numerical simulation, both the working fluid inlet and the ejected fluid inlet are set as pressure inlet boundary conditions, the ejector outlet is set as a pressure outlet boundary condition, and the ejector wall is set as a no-slip adiabatic boundary condition. Specifically, the numerical solution uses the finite volume method, the convection term uses a second-order upwind scheme, and the calculation is considered convergent when the residuals of each governing equation are less than a preset threshold.
[0047] While keeping the sample's operating parameters constant, the ejector outlet back pressure is gradually changed, and numerical simulations are performed for different outlet back pressure conditions to obtain the flow field data under the corresponding conditions. The sample's operating parameters may include the working steam pressure and ejector steam pressure, and may also include, depending on the actual situation, the working fluid inlet temperature, ejector fluid inlet temperature, and working fluid mass flow rate.
[0048] The step of identifying the shock train S inside the ejector based on pressure distribution data to determine the end position of the shock train specifically includes: identifying a pressure jump segment from the pressure distribution data; selecting a first pressure value and a second pressure value in the pressure stable regions on both sides of the pressure jump segment; calculating the pressure jump intensity based on the first pressure value and the second pressure value; and determining the pressure jump segment as the corresponding segment of the shock train and determining the end position of the shock train when the pressure jump intensity is greater than a preset intensity threshold.
[0049] See Figure 4 and Figure 5Pressure distribution data along the ejector axis is extracted from the flow field data. A one-dimensional sampling line is set along the central symmetry axis (i.e., the geometric center line from the inlet to the outlet) within the computational domain. Then, the static pressure value corresponding to each coordinate point on this sampling line is directly read from the flow field data. Thus, the pressure values arranged along the axial direction constitute an axial pressure distribution curve that can intuitively reflect the internal flow characteristics. Furthermore, by analyzing the pressure jump regions on this axial pressure distribution curve, key components such as shock waves can be located.
[0050] See Figure 6 Locate the section on the axial pressure distribution curve where the pressure suddenly and significantly increases; this is likely the region where the shock wave train is located. In the stable pressure region upstream of this pressure jump area, select a stable pressure value, denoted as [value missing]. In the stable pressure region downstream of the pressure jump region, a stable pressure value is selected and denoted as . The pressure jump intensity is calculated based on the first and second pressure values, using the following formula: ; In the formula, For the intensity of the pressure jump, The first pressure value, This is the second pressure value. The pressure jump intensity is used to distinguish between a real shock train and ordinary flow fluctuations. Only when the calculated pressure jump intensity is greater than a preset intensity threshold can a valid shock train be determined to exist, ensuring that the observed pressure jump is not an ordinary flow fluctuation or noise interference.
[0051] Furthermore, the starting and ending positions of the shock wave train can be determined based on the axial pressure distribution curve. The coordinates of the point where the pressure first begins to rise sharply can be defined as the starting position, and the coordinates of the point where the pressure returns to a stable change can be defined as the ending position.
[0052] It should be noted that when multiple pressure jump segments that meet the intensity threshold are identified, the shock train corresponding to the pressure jump segment whose end position is closest to the ejector outlet is selected as the judgment criterion.
[0053] In summary, based on the collected sample dataset, a multivariate linear regression fitting using the least squares method was employed to obtain a calculation model for the operating backpressure range coefficient. This model takes the actual operating conditions, structural parameters, and stable ejection coefficients as inputs to directly calculate the corresponding operating backpressure range coefficient. This simplifies the complex physical process of determining the critical backpressure based on the shock train position criterion, avoiding condition-by-condition testing or numerical simulation analysis, and enabling rapid and accurate prediction of the operating backpressure range under different operating conditions.
[0054] Compared with existing technologies, this application not only uses the characteristics of ejector coefficient variation to determine the upper boundary of operation, but also uses the shock train position criterion to determine the lower boundary of operation, thereby more accurately defining the back pressure range for stable and efficient operation of the ejector, and realizing rapid calculation and prediction of the back pressure range under different operating conditions.
