Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of underwater drag reduction, and particularly relates to a drag-reducing particle dissolving device and a drag-reducing particle preparation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The turbulent flow additive drag reduction is a high-efficiency drag reduction technology, mainly referring to adding water-soluble high polymer in water flow. When the flow is turbulent flow, the high polymer in the turbulent flow will interact with the turbulent flow, and the turbulent flow resistance will be greatly reduced. Only a small amount of polymer additive needs to be added in the turbulent flow to achieve more than 70% drag reduction effect, which has the advantages of small cost, high return, etc. At present, it has been widely applied in fire fighting, pipeline transportation, agricultural irrigation, biological medicine and other fields, and is expected to be applied in underwater vehicles, and has a wide application prospect. However, the current water-soluble high polymer mostly has the problems of slow dissolving speed, easy to be broken by mechanical shearing after dissolving, and the like, which affects the further application of the high polymer. Therefore, it is of great significance to solve the dissolving problem of the high polymer and as far as possible reduce the breaking of the long chain of the high polymer in the dissolving process for the further engineering application of the high polymer underwater drag reduction.

[0003] The prior art discloses a particle dissolving device using a plate structure as a buffer part, which uses plate structures arranged in a staggered and perpendicular manner, and the solution reciprocates and reverberates in the plate structure, and the erosion of particles is strengthened to accelerate the dissolution of particles. The device has simple structure, low cost and easy implementation, but the device cannot realize filtration of undissolved particles and is not suitable for underwater use. The prior art discloses a mechanical stirring type polyacrylamide rapid dissolving device, which mainly comprises a dissolving barrel and a stirring mechanism arranged in the dissolving barrel. The stirring mechanism and an air pipe are arranged at the bottom of the dissolving barrel, so that the polyacrylamide is rapidly dissolved. The device uses independent aeration, and the structure is simpler. The stirring mechanism is provided with an upper stirring piece with a circular hole structure and a lower stirring piece for pushing the solution upward, so that the stirring effect is better. Since the method needs to continuously add polyacrylamide, the dissolution rate is limited, and it is difficult to further increase the dissolution rate. The prior art discloses a powder polyacrylamide dissolving device, which comprises a swelling tank with a stirring device and a cyclone dissolver. A feeder is arranged above the swelling tank. Through the device, the dissolution of polyacrylamide can be accelerated, and the problems of "wire drawing" and "fish eye" can be avoided. However, the device still needs steps such as feeding, stirring and dissolving, and cannot realize real-time dissolution and use of polyacrylamide. The prior art discloses an anti-caking PAM auxiliary dissolving device, which comprises a fixed container with a stirrer, a funnel-shaped discharge slot, a guide pipe and an air nozzle. The device also needs steps such as feeding and stirring, and has problems such as insufficient dissolution of PAM after caking, and inability to completely break the caked PAM particles. The prior art discloses a solid particle medicine self-dissolving device, which mainly comprises a tank body and an inlet and outlet water port, a medicine feeding port, a emptying port, a water distributor and an intercepting net plate. The device is suitable for particles with no viscosity or low viscosity when meeting water. If viscous particles are used, they are easy to caking after swelling when meeting water, and are not suitable for high molecular drag reduction particles.

[0075] After the drag-reducing particles are added to each disc helical groove and the assembly is completed, a pipe with an outer diameter of 12 mm is connected to the pneumatic joint installed at the bottom disc 1, and water is transported, which will pass through the vortex-shaped groove, and the particles will be dissolved, and when the water flow reaches the center of the vortex-shaped groove, it will pass through the through hole in the center of the first intermediate disc 2 and enter the vortex-shaped groove of the first intermediate disc 2, and the water flow will gradually flow from the center of the vortex-shaped groove of the first intermediate disc 2 to the end of the disc, and then pass through the through hole at the end of the second intermediate disc 3 and enter the vortex-shaped groove of the second intermediate disc 3, and continue along the vortex-shaped groove to the center of the vortex-shaped groove of the second intermediate disc 3, and then pass through the through hole in the center of the second first intermediate disc 2 and enter the second first intermediate disc 2, and the water flow will gradually flow from the center of the vortex-shaped groove of the second first intermediate disc 2 to the end of the disc, and then pass through the through hole at the end of the second second intermediate disc 3 and enter the second second intermediate disc 3, and continue along the vortex-shaped groove to the center of the vortex-shaped groove of the second second intermediate disc 3, and finally flow out from the pipe connected to the pneumatic joint at the center outlet of the upper cover plate 5, thereby realizing real-time dissolution of the drag-reducing particles.

[0076] The real-time dissolved solution is directly subjected to water tunnel injection drag reduction experiment, and the results are shown in Figure 12 The main flow velocity is 4 m / s, and the injection rates are 59.8 L / h, 119.6 L / h, and 179.4 L / h, respectively. It can be seen that at a main flow velocity of 4 m / s, the drag reduction rate increases with the increase of the injection rate, and the maximum drag reduction rate is 21.2%.

[0077] Figure 13 The drag reduction effect of the real-time dissolved particles is based on the measured drag reduction effect of the real-time dissolved particles in the water tunnel experiment under the conditions of a flow velocity of 4 m / s and an injection rate of 179.4 L / h. It can be seen that the real-time dissolved solution of the particles has a significant drag reduction effect, and when the continuous dissolution time of the particles is 80 minutes, it still has a drag reduction effect of more than 5%, showing excellent durability.

[0078] Comparative Example:

[0079] In order to compare the concentration of the real-time dissolved particles, uniform polyethylene oxide solutions with different concentrations are configured and subjected to water tunnel experiment drag reduction test. In the water tunnel injection drag reduction experiment, the higher the concentration of the drag reduction solution and the greater the injection rate, the greater the drag reduction rate, so the concentration of the real-time dissolved solution of the particles can be verified by comparing the drag reduction rate.

[0080] The specific steps are as follows

[0081] Step 1. 0.1 g, 0.3 g, and 0.5 g of polyethylene oxide particles are weighed with a balance and placed in the weighing paper, respectively, and then 10 L of water is measured three times and placed in an open container.

[0082] Step 2. Weigh 0.1g, 0.3g, 0.5g of polyethylene oxide particles respectively, and slowly add them into three 10L of clean water, while stirring with a glass rod.

[0083] Step 3. After the particles are completely added, continue to stir with a glass rod for 5 minutes. After stirring is complete, we get a uniform solution with concentrations of 10ppm, 30ppm and 50ppm.

[0084] Step 4. The prepared 10ppm, 30ppm and 50ppm solutions are used for water tunnel injection drag reduction experiments. At a main flow speed of 4m / s and a injection rate of 119.6L / h, 179.4L / h, the drag reduction effect of the solution is tested respectively. The drag reduction results are shown in Figure 12 .

[0085] The drag reduction results of 10ppm, 30ppm and 50ppm are Figure 12 The drag reduction results of the square, triangle and diamond hollow symbols in the above specific real-time method are compared with the drag reduction results of the real-time dissolution of the particles. The drag reduction effect of the solution obtained in the above specific real-time method is closest to 30ppm, so it can be considered that the concentration of the real-time dissolution of the particles in the above specific real-time method is about 30ppm.

Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, replacements and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the principles and purposes of the present application within the scope of the present application.
