[0130] e t = 0.988 - 1.66a + 2.11a 2 - 0.67a 3

[0131] In the formula,

[0132] e n , e t represent wall restitution coefficients, respectively,

[0133] a represents a particle incidence angle.

[0134] S5) From the pressure, flow rate distribution cloud map and the pipeline wear cloud map, it is concluded that the pipeline wear is mainly distributed at the pipeline inlet and the outer side of the elbow pipe. Therefore, the pipe diameter, the elbow angle and the bend diameter ratio are set as the pipeline wear factors, and the preliminary value ranges of the elbow angle, the pipe diameter and the bend diameter ratio are obtained respectively. Different combinations of the elbow angle, the pipe diameter and the bend diameter ratio are taken as a group of test schemes, and a plurality of groups of test schemes are obtained in total.

[0135] Specifically, a plurality of groups of test schemes are designed by using Design-Expert software.

[0136] In this embodiment, the preliminary value range of the elbow angle is 60-120°, the preliminary value range of the pipe diameter is 120-200 mm, and the preliminary value range of the bend diameter ratio is 2-4.

[0137] The 13 groups of test schemes obtained in this embodiment are shown in Table 1.

[0138] Table 1 Test schemes

[0139]

[0140]

[0141] S6) According to the fluent numerical simulation, the maximum erosion wear rate corresponding to different test schemes in the pipeline transportation process is simulated, a response surface regression model between the simulated maximum erosion wear rate and the pipeline wear factors is constructed, variance analysis, factor interaction verification and significance analysis are performed on the response surface regression model, the influence degree of different pipeline wear factors on the pipeline wear rate is obtained, and the optimization value range of each pipeline wear factor is re-set according to the influence degree on the wear rate.

[0142] Specifically, the Design-Expert software is used to construct a response surface regression model between the simulated pipeline wear rate and the pipeline wear factors.

[0143] The pipeline wear rates corresponding to the 13 test schemes simulated in the embodiment are shown in Table 2.

[0144] Table 2 Test scheme wear rate results

[0145]

[0146] In the embodiment, the results of the variance analysis and the significance analysis of the response surface regression model are shown in Table 3.

[0147] Table 3 Variance analysis and significance analysis of the response surface regression model

[0148] Parameters Response surface model X1 X2 X3 X1X3 X2X3 X1X2 P <0.0001 0.0093 <0.0001 0.0323 0.6248 0.0643 0.1344 F 112.04 50.42 451.70 143.3 0.368 8.21 4.15 Mean square error 5.929 x 10 -16 ]] 7.013 x 10 -16 ]] 2.208 x 10 -15 ]] 1.752 x 10 -15 ]]> 1.444 x 10 -17 ]]> 4.020 x 10 -16 ]]> 2.031 x 10 -16 ]]>

[0149] As can be seen from Table 3, the significance analysis is performed through the two parameters P and F. According to F, the influence degree of single factors and two-way interaction factors on the pipeline wear is directly obtained, and the greater F is, the greater the influence of the single factor on the response value is. When P<0.05, it indicates that the difference is significant, and when P<0.01, it indicates that the difference is extremely significant. According to the P value, the significant role of the pipeline wear factors is judged.

[0150] As can be seen from Table 3, the influence degree of the pipe diameter on the pipeline wear rate is the largest in the embodiment, and the influence degree of the elbow angle on the pipeline wear rate is the smallest. Therefore, the optimization value range of each pipeline wear factor is re-set in the embodiment as follows: the optimization value range of the elbow angle X1 is 60-90°, the optimization value range of the pipe diameter X2 is 120-200 mm, and the optimization value range of the bend diameter ratio X3 is 2-4.

[0151] In addition, if the model significance does not meet the requirement, the fluent numerical simulation is performed again until the response surface regression model constructed meets the significance requirement.

[0152] Specifically, when the F value is greater than 0.05, the response surface model is not significant, and the wear simulation needs to be carried out again, and the response surface regression model is re-established; when the P value is less than 0.05, the response surface regression model is significant, and the response surface regression equation is fitted, as shown in the following formula, wherein Y is the wear rate.

[0153] Y = 5.9 x 10 -8 -8.9 x 10 -9 X1-1.661 x 10 -8 X2-1.526 x 10 -8 X3+1.9 x 10 -9 X1X2-1.91 x 10 -9 X1X3+7.125 x 10 -9 X2X3-2.125 x 10 -10 X1 2 +3.612 x 10 -9 X2 2 -2.537 x 10 -9 X3 2

[0154] Optimally, when the model significance analysis is performed, the influence degree of different pipeline wear factors on the pipeline wear rate is obtained by obtaining the response surface cloud diagram and the contour diagram corresponding to different pipeline wear factors in the response surface regression model.

[0155] As shown in Table 3, the response surface cloud diagram of different pipeline wear factors and the contour diagram of different pipeline wear factors are shown. Figures 2a-2f The response surface cloud diagram of different pipeline wear factors reflects the influence of two-way interaction on the wear rate, and the contour diagram is the influence of two-way interaction of two-dimensional pipeline wear factors on the pipeline wear rate. According to Table 3, the influence of two-way interaction of different pipeline parameters on the pipeline wear is obtained, and according to the contour, the influence of the single wear factor on the pipeline wear parameter under two-way interaction is obtained, and finally the influence degree of the single factor on the pipeline wear rate is obtained.

[0156] S7) According to the re-established optimization value range of each pipeline wear factor, the response surface prediction model constructed between the pipeline wear factor and the predicted pipeline wear rate is output, and the elbow angle, different pipe diameter and bend diameter ratio value corresponding to the minimum predicted pipeline wear rate are selected as the optimization arrangement parameters of the conveying pipeline.

[0157] In this embodiment, the optimization arrangement parameters of the conveying pipeline are as follows: the elbow angle X1 is 88.1716°, the pipe diameter X2 is 193.012 mm, the bend diameter ratio X3 is 2.4237, and the minimum predicted pipeline wear rate is 5.20182 x 10 -8 .

[0158] According to the above-mentioned optimized arrangement parameter combination of the conveying pipeline, steps S3) and S4) are repeated, a new geometric model is established, a grid is divided, boundary conditions are set, and the fluent wear simulation is carried out (as shown in Figures 3-6 The simulated wear rate is 5.48*10 -8 The minimum predicted pipeline wear rate is 5.20182*10 -8 The relative error of the simulated wear rate is 5.48*10 -8 The error value is 5%.

[0159] As can be seen from Figure 4 , when the slurry flows from the vertical pipeline into the elbow pipeline, the flow rate in the middle of the pipeline becomes larger and larger, with the change of the turning angle, the area with the largest flow rate gradually moves to the outside of the elbow pipeline, and the flow rate on the outside of the elbow pipeline is larger than that on the inside of the elbow pipeline.

[0160] As can be seen from Figure 5 , the pressure in the pipeline gradually decreases from the inlet to the outlet, and the pressure on the outside of the pipeline is larger than that on the inside of the pipeline. The reason why the pressure on the outside of the elbow pipeline is larger than that on the inside of the elbow pipeline is that when the slurry moves to the elbow pipeline, the moving direction suddenly changes, and due to the inertia effect, the slurry generates extrusion force on the outer wall surface of the elbow pipeline.

[0161] As can be seen from Figure 6 , the two pipelines in the figure are wear distribution cloud diagrams of the same pipeline at different viewing angles. The reason why the wear on the outer wall surface of the elbow pipeline is more serious than that on the inner wall surface of the elbow pipeline is that most of the particles move along the outer wall surface of the elbow pipeline during the movement of the particles, and in addition to the existence of the pressure difference, the particles gradually move from the outside to the inside, so that the wear mainly exists on the outside of the elbow pipeline.

[0162] The above-mentioned embodiments are the preferred embodiments of the present application, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principles of the present application should be equivalent replacement methods, and all are included in the protection scope of the present application.
