Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coal powder concentration measurement, and in particular to a microwave coaxial resonant cavity sensor, a method for measuring the concentration of coal powder in primary air, a processor, and a machine-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] The pulverized coal concentration in the primary air duct is an important flow parameter in the pulverized coal boiler of a power plant. It will directly affect the combustion effect of the boiler and plays a primary and key role in the safe production and energy conservation and emission reduction of thermal power plants.

[0003] To date, both internationally and domestically, extensive experimental research has been conducted on the measurement of parameters such as pulverized coal concentration, and numerous measurement schemes have been proposed. Existing gas-solid two-phase flow detection technologies primarily include capacitance, optical, ultrasonic, thermal, and various electromagnetic and electrostatic techniques. The main limitations to the development of online pulverized coal concentration detection technology are as follows: 1. The flow patterns of air-powder flows are extremely complex, making various flow patterns difficult to control. During motion, the spatial distribution of the gas-solid mixture is uneven and varies over time, making mathematical modeling difficult. Therefore, it is difficult to identify its flow patterns, making real-time measurement of pulverized coal parameters challenging. 2. Solid particles cause high-speed erosion and abrasion on invasive sensors based on contact measurement methods, limiting their application. 3. The uneven distribution of spatial sensitivity at different locations in the pipe reduces the measurement accuracy of non-invasive sensors. 4. The harsh on-site environment imposes certain limitations on many measurement methods. Consequently, research on online pulverized coal concentration measurement devices for industrial use has not made significant progress over the years. Summary of the Invention

[0035] Example 1

[0036] This embodiment provides a microwave coaxial resonant cavity sensor, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sensor includes:

[0037] The outer conductor 1 is illustratively a hollow cylindrical body with open ends, and the inner cavity of the outer conductor 1 is cylindrical. The inner conductor 2 is illustratively a cylindrical body disposed within the inner cavity of the outer conductor 1. The inner conductor 2 is coaxial with the inner cavity of the outer conductor 1, forming a resonant cavity between the inner conductor 2 and the outer conductor 1. The inner conductor 2 can be hollow or solid, but if hollow, both ends should be closed. Specifically, the outer conductor 1 and the inner conductor 2 are both made of a metal with good electrical conductivity.

[0038] The connecting conductor 3 is used to connect the end of the inner conductor 2 with the inner wall of the outer conductor 1 so that the inner conductor 2 and the outer conductor 1 form a short circuit; since the coaxial resonant cavity is regarded as a coaxial line with short circuits at both ends, the connecting conductor 3 used to connect the end of the inner conductor 2 with the inner wall of the outer conductor 1 is indispensable, and in order to ensure that the inner conductor 2 is always coaxial with the inner cavity of the outer conductor 1, a support is also required, so the existence of the connecting conductor 3 has the following functions: 1) connecting the end of the inner conductor 2 with the inner wall of the outer conductor 1 to form a short circuit; 2) supporting the inner conductor 2. In addition, illustratively, the microwave coaxial resonant cavity sensor provided in this embodiment can be used to measure the concentration of primary air dust, and when measuring the concentration of air dust, the sensor needs to be connected in series to the pipeline of the primary air dust (the flow direction of the air dust is consistent with the axial direction of the inner conductor 2). Therefore, during the measurement process, it is also necessary to ensure that the air dust can freely pass through the sensor (resonant cavity), so too much resistance should not be set at both ends of the resonant cavity to avoid affecting the shuttling of the air dust. The preferred structure of the connecting conductor 3 can be adopted as follows Figure 2 In the illustrated structure, connecting conductor 3 can be cylindrical and evenly divide the resonant cavity's (wind and powder) inlet and outlet. This ensures a certain degree of uniformity in wind and powder entering the resonant cavity. Furthermore, to avoid affecting wind and powder transport, its length should be minimized. Therefore, in this embodiment, the length L of connecting conductor 3 is calculated as follows: the inner radius R of outer conductor 1 minus the radius r of inner conductor 2. The ends of connecting conductor 3 are perpendicular to the inner wall (curved surface) of outer conductor 1 and the outer wall (curved surface) of inner conductor 2, respectively.

[0039] In addition, the principle of using a coaxial resonant cavity to measure air-dust concentration in this embodiment is that a change in the air-dust concentration within the resonant cavity indicates a change in the wave propagation medium, which in turn causes a change in the wave's resonant frequency. Therefore, by obtaining the resonant frequency of microwaves in the resonant cavity, the dielectric constant of the air-dust within the resonant cavity can be indirectly measured, thereby reflecting the air-dust concentration. However, obtaining the resonant frequency requires inputting an excitation signal (microwave) into the resonant cavity and generating stable oscillations before acquisition can proceed. Therefore, the sensor also includes a coupling excitation port 4, which can be located on the sidewall of the outer conductor 1 and is used to connect the resonant cavity to an external circuit to accommodate microwave signal input and output, where the external circuit includes an excitation signal generating circuit (device) and a resonant signal acquisition circuit. Exemplarily, the coupling excitation port 4 can be an SMA RF coupling port, operating in TEM mode.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to prevent the accumulation of wind powder at the end of the inner conductor 2 (the inner and outer diameters of the outer conductor 1 are equal to the inner and outer diameters of the wind powder tube, and therefore can be tightly connected through a flange), a cone head 5 is also (integrally) connected to the end of both ends of the inner conductor 2. The cone head 5 is in the shape of a cone, and the circular end of the cone head 5 is equal to the diameter of the inner conductor 2. The circular end of the cone head 5 is coaxially connected to the end of the inner conductor 2 (the tips of the two cone heads 5 are far away from each other).

[0041] Furthermore, the coupling excitation port 4 includes a probe disposed within the resonant cavity. Therefore, as wind dust passes through the sensor, the probe, the inner wall of the outer conductor 1, the outer surface of the inner conductor 2, the outer surface of the connecting conductor 3, and the aforementioned cone head 5 all come into direct contact with the wind dust, inevitably causing wear and tear on these parts. Therefore, in this embodiment, to extend the service life of the sensor, wear-resistant ceramics are embedded, applied, or sheathed on the surfaces of these parts to prevent direct contact with wind dust.

[0042] Furthermore, for a coaxial resonant cavity, its quality factor is primarily related to the ratio (D / d) of the inner diameter length D of the outer conductor 1 to the diameter length d of the inner conductor 2. The magnitude of the quality factor reflects the selectivity of the resonator and the magnitude of the energy loss. When 2≤(D / d)≤6, the quality factor is at a relatively high value. Of course, in practical applications, such as measuring the concentration of air dust, since the inner diameter (2D) and outer diameter of the outer conductor 1 are usually fixed (usually consistent with the inner and outer diameters of the primary air dust tube), (D / d) can only be adjusted by changing the diameter length d of the inner conductor 2. However, if the diameter length d of the inner conductor 2 is too large, it may affect the free flow of air dust. Therefore, the determination of the d value requires comprehensive confirmation by considering multiple influencing factors.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] This embodiment provides a method for measuring the concentration of primary air dust. Specifically, the microwave coaxial resonant cavity sensor described in Example 1 is used. Specifically, the sensor is connected in series to the primary air dust pipe using a connector, so that dust in the primary air dust pipe can freely pass through the sensor.

[0045] Measuring the air dust concentration in the resonant cavity comprises the following steps:

[0046] S1. Under the premise of knowing the size and structure of the sensor, obtain a first mapping relationship between the resonant frequency and the dielectric constant of the wind powder;

[0047] When the size and structure of the sensor are determined, the resonant frequency is only related to the dielectric constant of the air-powder (air + coal powder). The expression of the first mapping relationship is as follows:

[0048] (1)

[0049] In the above formula, Indicates the dielectric constant of the wind powder to be measured; represents the resonant frequency; represents the speed of light; represents the resonant wavelength;

[0050] Before obtaining the resonant frequency, it is necessary to input preselected microwaves into the resonant cavity. When the preselected microwaves are input into the coaxial resonant cavity, pure standing waves need to be formed on the front and rear end surfaces of the cavity, that is, the preselected microwaves are confined in the resonant cavity and will not disappear after multiple reflections. Only in this way can the resonant frequency be collected. After many experiments, it has been shown that the cavity length of the resonant cavity when resonance occurs is l is equal to an integer multiple of 1 / 2 the resonant wavelength λ0, that is, in the above formula (1), (2), where Represents the cavity length of the resonant cavity.

[0051] S2. Obtaining a second mapping relationship between the dielectric constant of the wind powder and the wind powder concentration;

[0052] Specifically, the complex dielectric constant of the wind-powder mixture is ε m * It can be given by the Maxwell-Wagner inhomogeneous dielectric equation:

[0053]

[0054] In the formula, o represents air, α represents the discrete phase coal powder particles, and m represents the mixed medium. φ is the volume fraction (concentration) of pulverized coal, therefore, represents the complex dielectric constant of air, Represents the complex dielectric constant of discrete phase pulverized coal particles.

[0055] Solving this equation, we can obtain the equivalent complex dielectric constant of the air-powder mixed medium m:

[0056] (3)

[0057] The complex dielectric constant can be written as ε * = ε ′- jε '' plural form, respectively ε α * and ε o * The real and imaginary parts of are written into the above formula (3), where, ε ' o ≈1, ε '' o ≈0, then the equivalent complex dielectric constant of the air-powder mixture m can be simplified to:

[0058] (4)

[0059] In formula (4), 、 Respectively The real and imaginary parts of 、 Respectively The real and imaginary parts of = .

[0060] According to the classical dielectric theory, the real and imaginary parts of the complex dielectric constant of the air-powder mixed medium m are calculated by the following formula:

[0061] , (5)

[0062] Where, ε s is the static dielectric constant of the medium; ε ∞ is the high-frequency dielectric constant of the medium; ω is the angular frequency of the alternating electromagnetic field; τ is the dielectric relaxation time of the medium, is the medium temperature t function.

[0063] S3. Obtain the resonant frequency in the resonant cavity, and obtain the air-dust concentration in the resonant cavity by combining the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship;

[0064] Specifically, the complex dielectric constant of the air-powder mixture derived from equations (2) and (4) is The real part of Substitute into (1) (that is, = ), the theoretical relationship for measuring coal powder concentration using a coaxial resonant cavity can be obtained:

[0065] ( p =1,2,3…)(6)

[0066] Based on the above formula (6), the coal powder concentration in the resonance cavity can be obtained.

[0067] Furthermore, the above-mentioned preselected microwaves are obtained by inputting a series of microwaves with the same amplitude and power but different frequencies into the resonant cavity. If the microwaves at a certain frequency can be reflected at the head and tail ends of the resonant cavity to form a pure standing wave, then the microwaves at this frequency are the preselected microwaves.
