Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of foam combustion property observation, in particular to a device for observing foam combustion in a multiphase flow high-temperature and high-pressure reactor. Background Art

[0002] Research on three-phase foams is increasingly becoming a focus of attention in several industries. Foams offer advantages such as low fluid density, strong solid particle carrying capacity, minimal filtration loss, minimal reservoir damage, and effective sealing, leading to their widespread use in oil and gas development, coal mining, and other fields. Furthermore, the combustion of three-phase foams can also be used as rock-breaking technology in geotechnical engineering. Large-scale rock-breaking is often required in various projects, including mining and stone extraction, foundation pit excavation, and tunnel and underground construction.

[0003] Traditional rock-breaking methods are widely used due to their high efficiency, low cost, and mature technology. However, these methods are subject to high vibration, which can easily damage critical structures and cause safety accidents, making them unsuitable for rock-breaking projects near existing buildings. In contrast, three-stage foams, with their environmentally friendly and energy-controllable advantages, have attracted widespread attention in the rock excavation field. Current rock-breaking technologies that utilize three-stage foam combustion suffer from the inability to observe the internal foam combustion process, including the stability and flammability of the foam under high pressure.

This device relates to the combustion properties of three-phase foam under high pressure, specifically the stability and combustibility of three-phase foams formed by gas, solid, and liquid under high pressure. By simultaneously applying water and air pressure to achieve internal equilibrium in the reactor and utilizing a high-speed camera 31 to record, the stability and combustibility of the three-phase foam formed by gas, solid, and liquid can be measured under high pressure.

[0043] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1-3 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an observation device for foam combustion in a multiphase flow high-temperature and high-pressure reactor is used to observe and obtain the physical and chemical properties of three-phase foam under different gas pressure states, including a reactor 1 (high-temperature and high-pressure reactor), an ignition device is connected to the bottom of the reactor 1, the top and bottom of the reactor 1 are respectively provided with end cap 1 2 and end cap 2 3, a cavity cylindrical glass 4 (high-strength glass, a hollow cylindrical structure) is provided between the end cap 1 2 and the end cap 2 3, the inner wall of the cavity cylindrical glass 4 is provided with a heat-insulating transparent material 5; the inner bottom end of the cavity cylindrical glass 4 is provided with an electrode 1 22 and an electrode 2 2 in sequence. 3. The top ends of electrode 1 22 and electrode 2 23 are connected to an ignition head 12; an observation hole 6 is provided on one side of the reactor 1, and an observation glass 7 is provided on the side of the observation hole 6 close to the interior of the reactor 1, and a high-speed camera 31 is provided at the observation hole 6; a slider 8 is provided inside the reactor 1 and on the outside of the hollow cylindrical glass 4, and a gas conduit 16 is provided inside the hollow cylindrical glass 4, and the top end of the gas conduit 16 passes through the end cover 1 2 and extends to the outside of the reactor 1; a water valve 10 is provided on one side of the bottom of the reactor 1, and is connected to an external water injection device through the water valve 10; a pressure relief valve 11 is provided on the top of the reactor 1 to relieve the pressure in the reactor 1 after the test.

[0044] End cap 1 2 is connected to the upper end of the reactor 1, and end cap 2 3 is connected to the lower end of the reactor 1, and both are sealed by threads; the part of end cap 1 2 in the cavity of the cylindrical glass 4 needs to protrude a section of the cylindrical cavity to prevent foam from diffusing to the outer circle through the pores as much as possible.

[0045] A cylindrical stepped observation hole 6 is provided at the end of the reactor 1. A cylindrical observation glass 7 is pressed into the step from the inside of the reactor 1. The portion of the observation glass 7 in contact with the inside of the reactor 1 is initially fixed by a sealant.

[0046] With the help of the above scheme, the present invention can observe the stability and combustibility of the three-phase foam formed by gas, solid and liquid under high-pressure conditions. Moreover, due to the height difference between the reactor 1 and the hollow cylindrical glass 4 and the movement of the slider 8 inside the reactor 1, the pressure inside and outside the hollow cylindrical glass 4 can be dynamically balanced. In addition, the 15mm thick hollow cylindrical glass 4 has high strength and can be used in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.

[0047] In one embodiment, the hollow cylindrical glass 4 comprises silicon dioxide (SiO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and boron oxide (B2O3). SiO2, as the primary component, accounts for 60%-70% and improves the structural strength and transparency of the hollow cylindrical glass 4. Al2O3, as the secondary component, accounts for 10%-20% and increases the mechanical strength and chemical stability of the hollow cylindrical glass 4. Furthermore, adding appropriate amounts of P2O5, CaCO3, and B2O3 to the high-alumina-silica glass process formula improves the light transmittance, heat resistance, and chemical stability of the hollow cylindrical glass 4, resulting in excellent resistance to high temperatures and high pressures. The hollow cylindrical glass 4, 15 mm thick and cylindrical in structure, is inserted into the reactor 1 through a glass slot reserved at the lower end of the reactor 1. A hollow annular glass surface extends from the lower portion of the hollow cylindrical glass 4 to enhance the compressive strength of the lower glass. A through-hole is required in the hollow annular surface to facilitate water circulation. Seal ring 1 24 and seal ring 2 25 are provided between the bottom end of the hollow cylindrical glass 4 and the bottom end of the reactor 1 to seal the lower end of the reactor 1. A layer of heat-insulating transparent material 5 is applied to the inside of the hollow cylindrical glass 4 to prevent damage to the inside and outside of the hollow cylindrical glass 4 due to uneven heating. A through-hole is required at the upper end of the hollow cylindrical glass 4 to facilitate gas passage. The air holes at the upper end of the hollow cylindrical glass 4 allow the gas in the inner circle to diffuse to the outer circle; the movement of the air holes and the slider 8 inside can keep the pressure inside and outside the hollow cylindrical glass 4 in dynamic balance.

[0048] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned electrode 1 22, electrode 1 22 is connected to end cap 2 3 via nut 1 19, and electrode 2 23 is connected to end cap 2 3 via nut 2 20. End cap 2 3 needs to reserve space for two electrodes, and electrode 1 22 and electrode 2 23 are fixed to end cap 2 3 via nut 1 19 and nut 2 20. A portion of the electrode is reserved inside and outside the end cap 2 3. Electrode 1 22 and electrode 2 23 are connected to a wire on one side inside the end cap 2 3 and connected to the ignition head 12 via the wire; electrode 1 22 and electrode 2 23 on the inside of the end cap 2 3 need to be threaded to facilitate the fixation of nut 1 19 and nut 2 20; electrode 1 22 and electrode 2 23 are connected to the detonator 30 on the side outside the end cap 2 3 via a detonating wire.

[0049] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned reactor 1, a pressure plate 17 is provided in the portion of the reactor 1 flush with the hollow cylindrical glass 4, and the pressure plate 17 is connected to the reactor 1 via bolts 18. Two square pressure plates 17 are placed in the portion of the reactor 1 flush with the hollow cylindrical glass 4, and the pressure plates 17 are fixed to the reactor 1 internally via bolts 18, thereby fixing the observation glass 7. A sufficient gap must be reserved between the two pressure plates 17 to prevent the pressure plates 17 from blocking the observation range of the high-speed camera 31. The high-speed camera 31 is placed on a camera stand, parallel to the observation hole 6, to record the combustion characteristics of the three-phase foam under high pressure. The high-speed camera 31 is capable of automatic capture; the camera stand is designed as a rotatable tracking bracket, which allows the high-speed camera 31 to flexibly adjust its observation range as pressure and temperature change.

[0050] In one embodiment, the slider 8 is provided with a sealing ring 3 26 between the slider 8 and the inner wall of the reactor 1, and a sealing ring 4 27 between the slider 8 and the outer wall of the hollow cylindrical glass 4. A sealing ring 5 28 is sleeved on the outer side of the bottom of the end cap 1 2, and an air hole 9 is provided at the bottom of the end cap 1 2 to prevent water and foam from overflowing from the reactor 1. The slider 8 is a hollow annular structure, positioned between the reactor 1 and the hollow cylindrical glass 4. The outer and inner rings of the slider 8, as well as the outer ring of the end cap 1 2 located in the middle of the hollow cylindrical glass 4, are provided with sealing ring grooves for the sealing ring 3 26, the sealing ring 4 27, and the sealing ring 5 28, respectively. This allows the slider 8 to slide up and down between the reactor 1 and the hollow cylindrical glass 4, preventing water and foam from overflowing from the reactor 1. An air hole 9 is provided in the middle of the end cap 1 2 inside the hollow cylindrical glass 4 to allow gas to pass smoothly through and diffuse toward the outer ring when pressure is applied.

[0051] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned gas conduit 16, the gas conduit 16 is connected to the reactor 1 through the nut three 21, and a section of thread needs to be protruded from the outer side of the end cover 2, and the protruding thread portion is for facilitating the fixing of the nut three 21. The end of the gas conduit 16 away from the interior of the reactor 1 is connected to the first end of the three-way joint 14, the second end of the three-way joint 14 is connected to the pressure sensor 15 (pressure sensing device), and the third end of the three-way joint 14 is connected to one end of the one-way valve 13 (the one-way valve 13 can prevent the backflow of gas). The other end of the one-way valve 13 is connected to the high-pressure gas pipe 32, and the end of the high-pressure gas pipe 32 away from the one-way valve 13 is connected to the air compression device 29; the air compression device 29 includes an air filter 297 connected to the high-pressure gas pipe 32, an air storage tank 291 is provided on the side of the air filter 297, and the air outlet 296 of the air storage tank 291 is connected to the air filter 297.

[0052] The air compression device 29 is an air compressor, which is driven by a three-phase motor 292 to compress the air. The air storage tank 291 can store a certain amount of compressed air to meet the sudden increase in air consumption of the air-consuming equipment. The main function of the muffler 293 is to reduce the noise generated by the air compression device 29 during operation. In order to control the start and stop of the air compression device 29 and adjust the pressure and flow of the system, the air compression device 29 needs to be equipped with an electromagnetic switch valve 294. A pressure switch 295 is set on the electromagnetic switch valve 294 to control the start and stop of the equipment. In addition, the air outlet 296 on the air compression device 29 is equipped with an air filter 297, which can continuously filter the compressed air. The air is filtered and impurities, moisture and oil mist are removed to ensure the purity and dryness of the air; the other end of the air filter 297 is connected to the high-pressure air pipe 32, which is connected to the one-way valve 13 through the high-pressure air pipe 32, and then connected to the three-way joint 14 through the one-way valve 13. The other side of the three-way joint 14 is connected to the pressure sensor 15, and then the last end of the three-way joint 14 is connected to the end cover 2 through the high-pressure air pipe 32 through the nut 3 21; a gas conduit 16 is connected to the inside of the end cover 2, and the gas conduit 16 is fixed to the end cover 2 by welding; the end cover 2 inside the reactor 1 and the top of the hollow cylindrical glass 4 need to be provided with air holes throughout the circumference so that the gas can be distributed more quickly and evenly after entering the reactor 1.

[0053] In one embodiment, observing and obtaining the physical and chemical properties of the three-phase foam under different gas pressures includes:

[0054] The anti-dispersion performance of each group of three-phase foams under different air pressure states was observed; the defoaming rate of the three-phase foam under different air pressure states was obtained by observing the change in the height of the three-phase foam over time.

[0055] Ignite the ignition head 12, and by comparing the remaining foam amount after combustion of the three-phase foam with the foam amount before combustion, the combustion amount of the three-phase foam under different air pressure states is obtained; the pressure data displayed by the pressure sensor 15 represents the combustion performance of the three-phase foam under different air pressure states.

[0056] Based on the Monte Carlo simulation method, the combustion mechanism of the three-phase foam under different gas pressure states is simulated to obtain the first simulation data; based on the computational fluid dynamics simulation method, the combustion mechanism of the three-phase foam under different gas pressure states is simulated to obtain the second simulation data.

[0057] The physical and chemical properties of the three-phase foam are comprehensively obtained based on the first simulation data, the second simulation data, the anti-dispersion performance of the three-phase foam, the defoaming rate of the three-phase foam, the combustion volume of the three-phase foam and the pressure data displayed by the pressure sensor 15.

[0058] Among them, based on the computational fluid dynamics simulation method (CFD simulation), the combustion mechanism of the three-phase foam under different gas pressure states is simulated, and the second simulation data obtained includes:

[0059] According to the structure of the reactor 1, the computational fluid dynamics simulation environment is divided to obtain an unstructured grid, ensuring that the unstructured grid can accurately capture the details of flow and combustion in the high-pressure combustion environment in the hollow cylindrical glass 4.

[0060] The standard k-epsilon turbulence model (a turbulence model used in industrial flow calculations) is used to set boundary conditions and initial conditions such as the thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of the three-phase foam material and the thermal boundary conditions of the wall.

[0061] A computational fluid dynamics simulation is run to obtain second simulation data of the three-phase foam, wherein the second simulation data includes temperature distribution, pressure change, gas composition, etc. during the combustion process of the three-phase foam.

[0062] In one embodiment, based on the Monte Carlo simulation method, the combustion mechanism of the three-phase foam under different gas pressure states is simulated, and the first simulation data obtained includes:

[0063] Configure the initial state of three-phase foam combustion in the Monte Carlo simulation, including the three-phase ratio and initial volume. In addition, set the initial ranges of gas pressure and temperature, the simulation time interval, and the total duration.

[0064] Generate initial combined pressure and temperature samples using a random sampling technique; these samples should be evenly distributed within a preset range.

[0065] The combustion mechanism of the three-phase foam is simulated based on the initial pressure and temperature combination samples, such as the combustion rate, combustion heat release and mass change of each component, to obtain the initial simulation results. The initial simulation results also include the combustion reaction rate and combustion state of each phase in the three-phase foam under the initial pressure and temperature combination samples.

[0066] Based on the initial simulation results, response surface models such as Gaussian process regression models are constructed to predict the effects of gas pressure and temperature combinations on the combustion characteristics of three-phase foams.

[0067] The uncertainty of the response surface model is analyzed to identify areas with large prediction errors and to identify areas with pressure and temperature combinations whose effects on the combustion characteristics of three-phase foam are greater than a preset threshold.

[0068] Generate new pressure and temperature combination samples based on uncertainty analysis and identification of important areas; for example, dense sampling in high uncertainty and high impact areas, using methods such as Bayesian optimization or entropy maximization. For example, using entropy maximization:

[0069] Sampling points are selected by maximizing information uncertainty, enabling efficient exploration of regions of model uncertainty. Information entropy is a measure of system uncertainty. During the optimization process, sampling is performed in regions with high information entropy, thereby gaining more knowledge about system behavior. By maximizing information entropy, pressure and temperature combinations that provide the greatest information gain are selected. In other words, entropy maximization methods tend to select denser sampling in regions with high current model uncertainty. The newly sampled data is then added to the Gaussian process regression model, model parameters are updated, and optimization continues.

[0070] An incremental simulation of the three-phase foam combustion mechanism is performed based on the new pressure and temperature combination samples to obtain new simulation results. The response surface model is then updated based on the initial simulation results and the new simulation results.

[0071] The update of the response surface model is iterated, and after the iteration is completed, first simulation data is obtained, and the first simulation data includes combustion reaction rate and combustion state data of the three-phase foam.

[0072] In one embodiment, constructing a response surface model based on the initial simulation results includes:

[0073] Determine the type of response surface model and select gas pressure and temperature as input features, and combustion rate, combustion heat release, and mass change of each component as output responses.

[0074] The response surface model is trained using the initial simulation result data, and the hyperparameters of the response surface model, such as the selection and optimization of the kernel function, are adjusted to improve the prediction accuracy of the model; the accuracy and generalization ability of the response surface model are verified by cross-validation.

[0075] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the working principle or operation mode of the present invention in actual process is described in detail below.

[0076] 1) Place sealing ring 1 24 and sealing ring 2 25 on the inner and outer rings of the glass tank inside reactor 1. Then, insert the hollow cylindrical glass 4 covered with thermal insulating transparent material 5 into reactor 1 through the reserved glass tank inside reactor 1. Secure electrode 1 22 and electrode 2 23 to end cap 2 3 using nut 19 and nut 20, respectively. The portions of electrode 1 22 and electrode 2 23 on the inner side of end cap 2 3 are connected to the ignition head 12 via wires. Thread end cap 2 3 onto the lower end of reactor 1.

[0077] 2) Press the observation glass 7 into the observation hole 6 in the reactor 1. The portion where the observation glass 7 contacts the reactor 1 is fixed with sealant. The pressure plate 17 is fixed to the inside of the reactor 1 with bolts 18 to secure the observation glass 7.

[0078] 3) Inject foam into the cavity of the hollow cylindrical glass 4, place the slider 8 between the reactor 1 and the hollow cylindrical glass 4, and install the sealing ring 3 26, sealing ring 4 27, and sealing ring 5 28 on the outer and inner rings of the slider 8 and the end cap 1 2 inside the hollow cylindrical glass 4, respectively.

[0079] 4) Connect end cap 1-2 to reactor 1 via threads, connect air compressor 29 to one-way valve 13 via high-pressure air pipe 32, and then connect to three-way joint 14 via one-way valve 13. The other side of three-way joint 14 is connected to pressure sensor 15. Then, connect the last end of three-way joint 14 to end cap 1-2 via high-pressure air pipe 32 using nut 3.

[0080] 5) Connect the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 23 located outside the second end cap 3 to the detonating device 30 via the detonating wire.

[0081] 6) Open the water valve 10 and slowly inject water into the reactor 1. At the same time, air pressure is slowly applied inward through the air compressor 29. Due to the air holes at the upper end of the hollow cylindrical glass 4 and the movement of the two sliders 8 inside, when the specified pressure is reached, the pressure inside and outside the hollow cylindrical glass 4 should be roughly the same.

[0082] 7) Place the high-speed camera 31 on the camera stand, parallel to the observation hole 6.

[0083] 8) After the pressure stabilizes, the ignition head 12 is ignited by the external detonator 30. The combustion characteristics of the three-phase foam under high pressure are recorded by a high-speed camera 31. The recorded three-phase foam combustion process and the readings of the pressure sensor 15 are transmitted to the computer by the data acquisition device.

[0084] 9) Open the pressure relief valve 11 to release the air pressure in the reactor 1, and then open the water valve 10 to release the water pressure.

[0085] 10) Organize the data and observe whether each group of foam will be dispersed by the high-pressure gas without igniting the ignition head 12; and study the defoaming rate of the foam under high-pressure gas by observing the change in the foam height in the hollow cylindrical glass 4 over time under different gas pressures; when the ignition head 12 is ignited, observe the amount of combustion by comparing the amount of remaining foam after combustion with the amount of foam before combustion, and observe the performance of the foam combustion through the pressure data displayed by the pressure sensor 15.

[0086] 11) Monte Carlo simulation and CFD simulation analysis experiments were introduced. The model predictions were compared with the observations recorded by pressure sensor 15 and high-speed camera 31 to verify the accuracy and reliability of the simulations. This was used to study the combustion mechanism of the foam under high pressure in reactor 1.

[0087] In the Monte Carlo simulation, the combustion mechanism of the three-phase foam under different gas pressure states is first simulated to obtain the first simulation data.

[0088] In addition, a physical and chemical model of the foam combustion reaction was established, including determining the types of reactants and products, reaction steps, and reaction rates. Random sampling of reaction parameters such as pressure and temperature was performed to simulate various events in the reaction process. Based on transition state theory and the Arrhenius equation, an expression for the rate constant suitable for high-temperature conditions was derived to more accurately describe the chemical reaction under high-temperature conditions. Parameters such as temperature and pressure were adjusted, and the simulated data were compared with the observations recorded in the experiment to verify the accuracy and reliability of the simulation.

[0089] In the CFD simulation, a high-quality unstructured mesh was created based on the structure of the reactor 1 to ensure that the mesh could accurately capture the details of the flow and combustion in the high-pressure combustion environment within the hollow cylindrical glass 4. A standard k-epsilon turbulence model was used, and boundary conditions and initial conditions, such as the thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of the foam material and the thermal boundary conditions of the wall, were set. The CFD simulation was run to observe and analyze the temperature distribution, pressure changes, and gas composition during the combustion process. These results were then compared with the test results recorded by the pressure sensor 15 and the high-speed camera 31, and the model parameters and boundary conditions were continuously adjusted until they met the test requirements.

[0090] Post-processing tools were used to analyze the simulation results. The high-pressure foam state and distribution, as well as the flame propagation characteristics during combustion, recorded by the high-speed camera 31 during the experiment, were compared with the pressure data recorded by the pressure sensor 15 to evaluate the combustion performance of the foam under high-pressure conditions. The processing tools were used to analyze the CFD and Monte Carlo simulation results, extracting key data such as temperature and pressure fields, fluid flow characteristics, combustion reaction rate, and combustion state data. The combustion performance, including combustion rate and peak pressure, was analyzed by comparing the data collected by the pressure sensor 15 and the high-speed camera 31 during the experiments.
