[0003] The comprehensive washing efficiency of the solid continuous washing equipment is determined by factors such as washing effect, stirring power density, and solid retention in the tower; among them, washing effect refers to the degree of solid cleaning, and the evaluation criteria include the residual amount of liquid phase impurities (to evaluate the degree of liquid phase impurity removal) and the average residence time of particles (to evaluate the degree of soluble solid phase impurity removal); stirring power density refers to the power consumed per unit volume of the solid continuous washing equipment; solid retention in the tower refers to the amount of macroscopic solid materials retained in the washing tower after the continuous washing equipment has stabilized (microscopic particles will be updated and flow out of the tower over time); the comprehensive washing efficiency of the aforementioned solid continuous washing equipment will be affected by the structural parameters and process parameters of the washing equipment.

[0048] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0049] Example 1
[0050] There is a multi-stage rotary disc continuous solid washing equipment used for washing slurry containing polyarylene sulfide (PPS) particles. The purpose of washing is to remove acetone in the slurry and soluble impurities attached to the surface and gaps of the particles. Numerical simulation and optimization analysis are now carried out on this multi-stage rotary disc continuous solid washing equipment.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a numerical simulation and optimization analysis method for a multi-stage rotary disk type solid continuous washing device, comprising the following steps:
[0052] Step S1: Based on actual industrial production requirements and engineering experience, the modifiable structural parameters affecting the comprehensive washing efficiency of the target multi-stage rotary disc type solid continuous washing equipment are determined as follows: rotary disc paddle diameter, rotary disc diameter, and annular baffle opening diameter; the modifiable process parameters are determined as follows: detergent feed rate and rotary disc speed;
[0053] Step S2: Based on theoretical derivation and engineering experience, the annular baffle opening diameter, detergent feed rate, and turntable speed are selected as the main factors affecting the comprehensive washing efficiency of the target multi-stage turntable solid continuous washing equipment, and the above main factors are used as the factors to be evaluated;
[0054] Step S3: Based on the PPS particle slurry characteristics and washing process requirements, a weighted factor evaluation model for the comprehensive washing efficiency of the multi-stage rotary disc type solid continuous washing equipment is determined based on the AHP analytical hierarchy process. The evaluation parameters include four items: liquid phase impurity content, average particle residence time, stirring power density, and solid retention in the tower. The specific evaluation formula is shown below:
[0055] U=Na×A+Nb×B+Nc×C+Nd×D (1)
[0056] Among them, A is the score of liquid impurity content at the material outlet, B is the score of average particle residence time, C is the score of stirring power density, and D is the score of solid retention in the tower; Ni is the score weight obtained based on the AHP hierarchical analysis method, and the corresponding values are as follows:
[0057] Table 1 Scoring weight table
[0058] Na Nb Nc Nd 4.77% 47.74% 28.23% 19.26%
[0059] U is the comprehensive washing efficiency score of the multi-stage rotary disk solid continuous washing equipment, and each score is the result of normalizing the four evaluation parameters to [0,1] and then mapping them to [1,10] according to the negative-positive relationship;
[0060] Step S4: Based on the main factors affecting the comprehensive washing efficiency of the target multi-stage rotary disk type solid continuous washing equipment being determined as the factors to be evaluated, each factor to be evaluated is considered at three levels, and an orthogonal experimental factor level table is designed, as shown in Table 2:
[0061] Table 2 Orthogonal test factor level table
[0062]
[0063] According to the 3x3 orthogonal experimental design rules, 9 groups of representative experiments were designed, as shown in Table 3:
[0064] Table 3 Orthogonal test plan
[0065]
[0066]
[0067] Step S5: Using Siemens NX software to perform three-dimensional modeling of the equipment components of the multi-stage rotary disk solid continuous washing equipment, and using Siemens STAR CCM+ software to perform numerical simulation, specifically including the following steps:
[0068] Step S51: Simplifying the multi-stage rotary disk type continuous solid washing equipment, using 3D modeling software to perform 3D modeling operations on simplified equipment components of the multi-stage rotary disk type continuous solid washing equipment, such as the rotary disk, annular baffle, and material and detergent inlet and outlet components. The set parameters include: the geometric shape and geometric size parameters of the rotary disk and annular baffle, and the position and opening diameter of the material and detergent inlet and outlet;
[0069] The diameter of the annular baffle opening is determined according to the orthogonal test scheme described in Table 3;
[0070] Subsequently, the fluid calculation domain model was extracted from the three-dimensional model of the multi-stage rotary disk solid continuous washing equipment. The completed fluid calculation domain model is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the three fluid calculation domain models corresponding to different annular baffle opening diameters are saved as .x_t format files respectively;
[0071] Step S52: Import the exported .x_t format file into Siemens STAR CCM+ software, and define the inlet and outlet boundaries, interface boundaries, wall boundaries, and names of the fluid calculation domain model in the "Geometry-Component" node;
[0072] Step S53: Assign the fluid computational domain model with completed boundary definition to the "Region" node, and then in the "Region-Boundary" node, set the inlet boundary type of the fluid computational domain to the "Mass Flow Inlet" boundary, and the outlet boundary type to the "Outlet" boundary with a specified mass flow rate;
[0073] Go back to the "Geometry - Operations - Auto Mesh" node and mesh the aforementioned fluid computational domain. To balance the accuracy of the numerical simulation results with computational efficiency, use polyhedral meshes for unstructured meshing of the fluid computational domain. Local mesh refinement is performed on the turntable wall, interface, annular partition, and baffle wall to ensure a minimum mesh quality of no less than 0.4.
[0074] The local grid size is 1 / 4 of the overall grid. At the same time, a prismatic boundary layer grid with a total thickness of 2 mm and a total of 3 layers is generated on the surface of each wall, and Wall Y+ is guaranteed to be greater than 35 to meet the simulation calculation requirements. The divided grid is as follows Figure 3 As shown;
[0075] Step S54: During the numerical simulation calculation, the following physical assumptions are made:
[0076] ① Assume that the solid particles have the same diameter and there is no agglomeration between the particles;
[0077] ② Ignore the energy consumed by solid particles during collision and rebound in the multi-stage rotary disc solid continuous washing equipment;
[0078] ③ Assume that the components in the multi-stage rotary disc solid continuous washing equipment will not be worn by solid particles;
[0079] Step S55: In the "Continuum-Model" node, the physical calculation model for the numerical simulation calculation is set in detail as follows;
[0080] ① Enable the "Gravity" model. According to the placement of the target multi-stage rotary disk solid continuous washing equipment, the Z direction is set to -9.81m / s2, and the X and Y directions are set to 0m / s2.
[0081] ② The turbulence model uses the "realizable K-Epsilon two-layer model" based on the "Reynolds time-averaged method"
[0082] ③ The solver uses an implicit unsteady solver and a separated flow solver for transient solutions, and the discrete format uses a second-order upwind format to improve solution accuracy;
[0083] ④ Enable the Mixed Multiphase (MMP) model. In the Multiphase - Euler Phase node, create a water phase corresponding to the detergent and an acetone phase corresponding to the material solvent. Select the Liquid and Constant Density models, and set the density and dynamic viscosity of the water and acetone phases, respectively.
[0084] ⑤ Enable the "Lagrangian Phase" model, create a particle phase corresponding to the PPS particles in the "Lagrangian Phase" node, select constant density, material particles, residence time, bidirectional coupling and turbulent dissipation model, and set the density of the particle phase;
[0085] Step S56: According to the actual process parameters and the orthogonal test scheme described in Table 3, the boundary condition values of the continuous Euler phase and the discrete particle phase are set at the "Region-Boundary" node and the "Ejector" node respectively; wherein the setting parameters of the continuous phase include: mass flow rate, phase volume fraction, as shown in Table 4:
[0086] Table 4 Numerical settings of continuous phase boundary conditions
[0087]
[0088] The setting parameters of the discrete phase include: particle size, particle mass flow rate, particle flow rate, and particle distribution mode, as shown in Table 5:
[0089] Table 5 Numerical settings of discrete phase boundary conditions
[0090]
[0091] Step S57: Run numerical simulation calculations to obtain the performance parameters of the target multi-stage rotary disc type solid continuous washing equipment for the nine orthogonal test schemes, including the liquid phase impurity content at the material outlet, the average particle residence time, the stirring power density, and the solid retention in the tower; Figure 4 The acetone phase volume fraction distribution cloud diagram shown, Figure 5 The particle residence time distribution cloud diagram and particle distribution shown in the figure are as follows: Figure 6 Particle residence time statistics shown;
[0092] The numerical simulation calculation adopts the following steps to ensure the calculation accuracy and improve the calculation efficiency, including:
[0093] Step S571: Continuous phase simulation calculation: The Lagrangian phase solver is frozen, and the multi-stage rotary disk solid continuous washing equipment is operated in a pure continuous phase state; the mass flow rate and phase volume fraction at each inlet and outlet section of the continuous phase are monitored. When the fluctuation of the monitored quantity does not exceed ±2% and the fluctuation of the calculated residual error is stable, it is determined that the continuous phase calculation has reached a stable state;
[0094] Step S572: Discrete Phase Simulation Calculation: The Lagrangian phase solver is activated, and the discrete phase enters the multi-stage rotary disk continuous solid washing equipment according to the boundary conditions of the "Ejector" node. The average residence time of particles in the outlet area of the multi-stage rotary disk continuous solid washing equipment is monitored. When the fluctuation of the monitored value does not exceed ±2% and the fluctuation of the calculated residual error is stable, the discrete phase calculation is determined to have reached a stable state, and the numerical simulation calculation ends.
[0095] Performing numerical simulation calculations for the continuous phase and discrete phase in steps can avoid the problem that the discrete phase calculation converges while the continuous phase calculation has not yet converged;
[0096] Step S6: Using the range method and the multi-factor variance method, an orthogonal analysis is conducted on the performance parameters of the multi-stage rotary disk type continuous solid washing equipment; and based on the evaluation model of the comprehensive washing efficiency of the multi-stage rotary disk type continuous solid washing equipment, the weighted factor score of each scheme is obtained, as shown in Table 6:
[0097] Table 6 Scoring of each scheme
[0098]
[0099]
[0100] Among them, column A is the score of the liquid phase impurity content at the material outlet, column B is the score of the average residence time of the particles, column C is the score of the stirring power density, column D is the score of the solid retention in the tower, and column U is the total score of each scheme calculated according to formula (1).
[0101] Step S7: Determine whether there is a parameter combination that is consistent with theoretical calculations or better than engineering experience. If so, the optimization analysis process ends; if not, jump to step S4, redesign the orthogonal experiment, and adjust the level range of each factor until a parameter combination that is consistent with theoretical calculations or better than engineering experience is found.
[0102] In this embodiment, according to Table 6, among the 9 orthogonal experimental schemes, Scheme 1 (partition through-hole diameter 95 mm, rotation speed 35 rpm, detergent flow rate 300 kg / h) is the optimal parameter combination among the 9 orthogonal experimental schemes.
[0103] Example 2
[0104] As a preferred approach, in some embodiments of the present invention, in step S571: during the continuous phase simulation calculation process, the calculation time step may be a larger value of 0.1 s to save calculation time;
[0105] As a preferred method, in step S572: during the discrete phase simulation calculation, the calculation time step is set and determined according to the following formula: the particle movement distance within a single time step does not exceed 5 grid geometric dimensions, that is, the Courant number CFL = UkeliΔt / Δx≤5, where Ukeli is the particle flow velocity, Δt is the time step, and Δx is the grid geometric dimension.
[0106] This embodiment performs numerical simulation calculations on the continuous phase and the discrete phase in steps. While ensuring the convergence of the calculation, the larger time step used in the continuous phase calculation is beneficial to reducing the time consumption of the overall numerical simulation calculation.
[0107] In this embodiment, the continuous phase calculation uses a time step of 0.1 s, which consumes 350 time steps; the discrete phase calculation uses a time step of 0.001 s;
[0108] By adopting the technical solution of this embodiment, the calculation speed of the continuous phase is increased by 100 times within the corresponding 35s physical time, and the time consumption of the overall calculation (corresponding to 350s physical time) is reduced to 90% when the time step is not adjusted.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above embodiments and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention.
