Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of multiphase flow control and chemical metallurgical automation technology, and relates to a method, system and equipment for predicting bubble separation volume and optimizing gas injection control in an immersion non-isothermal gas injection system. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial applications such as metallurgical side-blowing, chemical bubble towers, and cryogenic fluid management, submerged gas injection processes under non-isothermal conditions are frequently involved. Under these conditions, sensible heat exchange between the gas and liquid phases causes dynamic changes in the gas density inside the bubble over time, and the transient volume evolution of the bubble is determined by both isothermal mass accumulation and sensible heat-driven expansion.
[0003] The existing technology has the following technical defects:
[0004] 1. Isothermal model prediction bias. Existing industrial control systems mostly use bottom-blowing isothermal models to predict bubble size. Under non-isothermal side-blowing conditions, using the isothermal model will lead to inaccurate prediction of bubble detachment volume, which in turn will cause the distributed control system (DCS) to have a bias in estimating the specific surface area between the gas and liquid phases, reducing the gas distribution accuracy of the reaction process.
[0005] 2. Multiple solutions and distortions in parameter identification. When establishing a non-isothermal coupled model, there is a nonlinear coupling between the thermodynamic volume expansion and the dynamic force motion of the bubble. If the parameters are directly inverted using macroscopic detached volume, it is easy to cause numerical cross-compensation between the source terms of the momentum equation and the energy equation, resulting in distortion of the identified heat transfer parameters and reducing the predictive reliability of the model under varying operating conditions.
[0006] 3. High-flow-rate gas injection leads to deterioration of the flow pattern. Under current high-flow-rate gas injection conditions, the rate of increase in convective heat transfer within the gas lags behind the rate of increase in the enthalpy flow of the cold gas. This often results in the gas detaching from the nozzle before it has fully absorbed heat and expanded. This phenomenon leads to an increased frequency of bubble formation, causing bubble aggregation and short-circuiting of the gas flow in the near-nozzle region. This reduces the macroscopic interphase mass transfer area and weakens the work done by the gas during in-situ expansion at the bottom of the reactor.
[0007] Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to effectively solve the above-mentioned defects, improve the prediction accuracy of bubble detachment volume, and achieve optimal control of gas injection parameters. Summary of the Invention

And Bond Number Obtain the critical height ratio ;
[0013] S4.

Output the predicted actual detachment volume ;
[0014] S5, Based on the initial temperature of the gas and the actual detachment time of the bubble Instantaneous absolute pressure, obtaining isothermal mass injection equivalent volume ;
[0015] S6. Maintain the gas mass flow rate Assuming the initial temperature of the injected gas remains constant at the same level as the ambient temperature of the liquid environment. Turn off the heat exchange; repeat steps S2 to S4 until the geometric separation criterion is met, and output the isothermal reference separation volume. ;
[0016] S7.

[0017] The solution provided by the present invention includes and By setting the hydrodynamic drag coefficient as a constant to introduce kinematic constraints, the cross-interference between momentum integral and heat source term is isolated, and a macroscopic thermodynamic closed term conforming to physical laws is obtained. This improves the predictive stability of the model under complex variable working conditions and eliminates the problem of multiple solutions in parameter identification.
[0018] The above solution transforms the inherent spatial trajectory calculation bias of the one-dimensional model in the existing technology into a smaller temporal variance, effectively suppressing the propagation of prediction errors and improving the online prediction accuracy of volume-detached models.

[0042] In one preferred embodiment, step S4 specifically includes:
[0043] S4.1, Settings Initial conditions at time: initial volume of the bubble initial temperature Initial centroid velocity Initial centroid height ;
[0044] S4.2. The fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is used to apply a fixed-step method to the system of one-dimensional ordinary differential equations. The time-forward integration is performed; at the end of each integration step, the following judgment is made:

The actual time of bubble release Output the bubble volume at the current moment. For the predicted actual detachment volume .
[0048] The above scheme utilizes the kinematic characteristic that the rising velocity of the centroid at the end of the bubble pinch-off is greater than the equivalent radial expansion velocity, transforming the inherent spatial trajectory calculation deviation of the one-dimensional model in the prior art into a smaller time variance, effectively suppressing the propagation of prediction errors, thereby improving the online prediction accuracy of the detached volume.

Simultaneously activate the backup nozzle to increase the number of working nozzles; and / or when At that time, a hill-climbing algorithm is used to increase the gas mass flow rate by a preset step size. Repeat S1 to S7 until... The preset safety margin boundary is reached. Preferably, .
[0057] The submerged non-isothermal gas injection system described in the above scheme is equipped with a multi-nozzle array. While maintaining the total gas injection volume, it extends the generation and sensible heat exchange time of a single bubble at the nozzle by reducing the single-hole injection flow rate and simultaneously increasing the number of working nozzles. This transforms the concentrated high-flow-rate gas injection into a multi-point distributed low-flow-rate gas injection, helping to alleviate the bubble aggregation and airflow short-circuiting phenomenon that easily occurs under single-hole high-flow-rate conditions. Thus, while ensuring the total gas injection capacity of the system, it improves the gas-liquid phase mass transfer area within the reactor. Based on the heat exchange margin of the submerged non-isothermal gas injection system, the above scheme gradually increases the gas injection capacity until it approaches the heat transfer limit, for example... This allows for the maximization of reactor gas injection volume and production efficiency while ensuring that the mass transfer area between the gas and liquid phases does not decrease.

The inherent spatial trajectory calculation deviation of the one-dimensional model in existing technologies is transformed into a smaller time variance, effectively suppressing the propagation of prediction errors and improving the online prediction accuracy of detachment volume. Through real-time comparison and constraint-based adjustment of the thermal expansion fraction and critical expansion threshold, bubbles are prevented from detaching before sufficient heat exchange, alleviating the phenomenon of near-field bubble aggregation and short-circuiting with the airflow, improving the comprehensive utilization rate of gas while ensuring production capacity, and optimizing the global gas-liquid interphase mass transfer area.

[0073] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.
[0074] Example 1
[0075] This invention provides a method for predicting bubble detachment volume and optimizing injection control in an immersion non-isothermal gas injection system. This method relies on the calculation module of an industrial distributed control system (DCS) or programmable logic controller (PLC) for execution. The flowchart is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps are as follows:

[0079] In the solution module, time is used as the basis for calculation. Using [variable name] as the independent variable, a system of one-dimensional ordinary differential equations describing the transient growth process of bubbles is constructed. Specifically, based on the quasi-isobaric approximation (ignoring the transient rate of change of pressure inside the bubble), the following equations are constructed:

Let the vertical upward velocity of the bubble's center of mass be denoted as . Let the bubble's equivalent radius be 1. The sine of the centroid elevation angle represents the geometrical substitution term characterizing the degree of asymmetric necking of the bubble. This is the surface tension correction factor.
[0091] In formula (4), the left side of the equation is the additional mass inertial force of the bubble displacing the liquid (ignoring the very small mass of the gas itself); the first term on the right side of the equation is the macroscopic net buoyancy force on the bubble; the second term on the right side of the equation is the vertical capillary retention force; and the third term on the right side of the equation is the expansion inertial reaction force caused by the rapid expansion of the bubble volume.
[0092] In this embodiment of the invention, parameter regularization is set as follows: to decouple thermodynamic and kinetic parameters, during the initialization phase, the hydrodynamic drag coefficient in the vertical motion equation of the center of mass is forcibly set to a constant, that is: the additional mass coefficient is set to... The surface tension correction factor is set to .

[0101] S4. Perform forward time integration on the updated one-dimensional ordinary differential equation system to obtain the centroid height and equivalent diameter of the bubble; when the ratio of the centroid height to the equivalent diameter is not less than the critical height ratio The integration process ends at a certain point, and the actual time it takes for the bubble to detach is obtained. Output the predicted actual detachment volume Specifically, this includes:
[0102] S4.1, Settings Initial conditions at time: initial volume of the bubble initial temperature Initial centroid velocity Initial centroid height ;
[0103] S4.2. The fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is used to apply a fixed-step method to the system of one-dimensional ordinary differential equations. The time-forward integration is performed; at the end of each integration step, the following judgment is made:
[0104] S4.2.1 Obtain the transient volume obtained by integrating at the current time step. and center of mass height ;in, For the first Each integration step size. It is a positive integer;

Turn off the heat exchange; repeat steps S2 to S4 until the geometric separation criterion is met, and output the isothermal reference separation volume. ;
[0112] Copy the system of equations from step S2 in the solution module, and keep it. Unchanged, forced setting of input parameters And assume Repeat the forward integration process in step S4 until the geometric separation criterion is satisfied. Record and output the isothermal reference separation volume The isothermal reference is separated from the volume. This characterizes the achievable detachment volume of bubbles under ideal isothermal conditions that eliminate the influence of the initial high density of cold air. By comparison... and This allows for the quantification of the initial volume loss resulting from cold gas injection, thus providing a dynamic critical threshold for subsequent evaluation of whether the sensible thermal expansion of the bubbles is sufficient.
[0113] S7. Based on the predicted actual detachment volume and the equivalent volume of the isothermal mass injection Obtain the thermal expansion fraction ; based on the isothermal reference, the volume is separated and the equivalent volume of the isothermal mass injection Obtain the critical expansion threshold ;when At that time, reduce the gas mass flow rate. ;when At the same time, increase the gas mass flow rate. .
[0114] In this embodiment of the invention, the thermal expansion fraction ( The actual volume of the bubble escaping is not an inherent physical property parameter of the gas, but a dimensionless process evaluation index used to characterize the degree of sensible heat-driven expansion of the bubble at the moment of escaping. ) isothermal mass injection into equivalent volume ( The thermal expansion fraction is composed of the thermally expanded volume and the actual volume separated. The thermal expansion fraction is defined as the proportion of the thermally expanded volume to the actual volume separated. The larger this value, the more heat the gas absorbs before it leaves the vent, and the more fully the work is done during in-situ expansion.
[0115] Similarly, the critical expansion threshold ( ) is defined as the isothermal reference separation volume ( ) and isothermal mass injection equivalent volume ( The difference between the two is a percentage of the actual detached volume. The proportion of ), that is This threshold characterizes the minimum volume deficit that the system must overcome to achieve macroscopic escape from force equilibrium due to the relatively high initial density of the injected cold gas.
[0116] In this embodiment of the invention, by comparing the two dimensionless indicators in real time, it is determined whether the current gas injection process is in a state of "net expansion (sufficient heat exchange)" or "net contraction (insufficient heat exchange)", thereby guiding the optimization control.
[0117] The adjustment logic of the optimization control is as follows:
[0118] Operating condition A (insufficient heat exchange): When the comparison result is Time (e.g.) Figure 2 The net contraction zone shown indicates that the gas detached before it could fully absorb heat and expand. The PLC controller outputs an adjustment command to the Mass Flow Controller (MFC), which reduces the gas mass flow rate per orifice by a preset step size. Alternatively, a switching signal can be output to the multi-channel nozzle switching valve group to close the current large-diameter nozzle and switch to a smaller-diameter standby nozzle to extend the bubble growth time. Extending the growth time promotes sufficient thermal expansion of the bubbles, increasing the macroscopic detachment volume of a single bubble, optimizing the contact surface area between the gas and liquid phases, and suppressing near-zone bubble aggregation and short-circuiting of the gas flow caused by the high-frequency detachment of unexpanded cold bubbles. This, in turn, improves the overall mass transfer efficiency and gas utilization rate of the reactor. In this embodiment of the invention, the operating condition A (insufficient heat transfer state) has a clear mathematical definition and macroscopic physical manifestation:
[0119] a1. Mathematical definition: The thermal expansion fraction calculated in real time by the system is strictly less than the critical expansion threshold, i.e., it satisfies the inequality. The inequality indicates that the thermal expansion volume generated by the bubble during its growth period through sensible heat exchange between the gas and liquid phases is insufficient to compensate for the initial isothermal volume loss caused by the injection of low-temperature, high-density gas.
[0120] a2. Macroscopic manifestations:
[0121] Net volume shrinkage: Under this operating condition, the actual volume of the bubble that escapes. Strictly less than the isothermal reference separation volume under the same mass flow rate (That is, a net contraction in macroscopic volume occurs).
[0122] Deteriorating flow pattern: Because bubbles prematurely meet the kinetic detachment conditions before reaching thermal equilibrium, the bubble detachment frequency increases abnormally. In industrial settings, this manifests as a dense cluster of small bubbles near the nozzle, which easily leads to violent coalescence or localized gas flow short-circuiting. This significantly reduces the effective gas-liquid mass transfer surface area within the reactor and decreases the efficiency of in-situ gas expansion at the bottom of the molten pool.
[0123] Operating Condition B (Capacity Optimization State): When the comparison result is Time (e.g.) Figure 2 The net expansion zone shown indicates that heat utilization is sufficient. While maintaining the total gas injection volume requirement, the PLC controller uses a hill-climbing algorithm, increasing the volume slightly by a preset step size. And reassess in the next control cycle. and The difference. When the difference narrows to a preset safety margin boundary (e.g. When ), lock the current The setpoint. Operating condition B (capacity optimization state) represents a state of efficient sensible heat utilization and net expansion. In this state, the actual volume of the bubble detachment is greater than the isothermal reference volume, the gas has fully absorbed heat and expanded before detachment, the flow near the nozzle is stable, and no airflow short circuit occurs. The purpose of the PLC controller using the hill-climbing algorithm to gradually increase the gas mass flow rate is to: based on utilizing the current system heat transfer margin, gradually increase the gas injection capacity until it approaches the heat transfer limit (i.e., ...). This allows for maximizing the gas injection rate and production efficiency of the reactor while ensuring that the mass transfer area between the gas and liquid phases does not decrease.
[0124] Multi-nozzle coordinated control: If the system is configured with an independently controllable multi-nozzle array, single-orifice adjustment is triggered under operating condition A. Simultaneously, the PLC controller outputs commands to activate additional backup nozzles to ensure a constant total gas injection capacity of the reactor, achieving optimal combined efficiency of single-hole mass transfer and overall capacity. This multi-nozzle collaborative control is essentially a flow regime adjustment strategy based on spatial flux dispersion. Its technical effect is that, while maintaining the total gas injection rate of the reactor, by reducing the single-hole injection flow rate and simultaneously increasing the number of working nozzles, the generation and sensible heat exchange time of a single bubble at the nozzle is extended. This control method transforms concentrated high-flow-rate gas injection into multi-point distributed low-flow-rate gas injection, helping to alleviate the bubble aggregation and short-circuiting phenomenon that easily occurs under single-hole high-flow-rate conditions, thereby improving the gas-liquid phase mass transfer area within the reactor while ensuring the total gas injection capacity of the system.
[0125] like Figure 2 The figure illustrates the change in the detachment volume of a non-isothermal bubble relative to an isothermal reference under different combinations of injection orifice diameters and single-orifice mass flow rates. Figure 2 The horizontal axis represents the gas mass flow rate per orifice, and the vertical axis represents the injection orifice diameter; the upward-pointing triangle indicates that the actual separation volume is greater than the isothermal reference separation volume, i.e. The net expansion state; the downward triangle indicates that the actual separation volume is less than the isothermal reference separation volume, i.e. The net shrinkage state. The percentages in the figure represent the relative deviation of the actual separation volume from the isothermal reference separation volume. (From...) Figure 2 It can be seen that under non-isothermal gas injection conditions, the volume of the bubble detachment does not increase monotonically with the extension of the generation time, but is controlled by the competition between the volume loss caused by the initial density of the cold gas and the expansion driven by sensible heat.
[0126] like Figure 3 As shown, this illustrates the fraction of thermal expansion in embodiments of the present invention. With critical expansion threshold The determination relationship. Figure 3 The curve on the left in the figure represents different nozzle orifice diameters. and The variation of gas mass flow rate with single-orifice flow rate; the symbols on the right indicate the volumetric state obtained by comparing the thermal expansion fraction with the critical expansion threshold. When When the sensible heat-driven expansion can compensate for the volume loss caused by the initial density of the cold air, it is determined to be a net expansion state; when When the sensible heat-driven expansion is insufficient to compensate for the volume loss, it is determined to be a net contraction state. The PLC controller can then determine whether the current injection parameters have sufficient thermal expansion margin and implement adjustment strategies such as reducing the single-orifice flow rate, increasing the number of working nozzles, or increasing the single-orifice flow rate.
[0127] like Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the kinematic basis for using the ratio of the center of mass height to the equivalent diameter as the criterion for geometric separation in embodiments of the present invention. The upper bar chart compares the vertical rising velocity of the bubble's center of mass with the equivalent radial expansion rate under various experimental conditions; the lower scatter plot shows the ratio of the two, represented by a rhombus. The results show that at the end of the pinch-off period, the rising velocity of the bubble's center of mass is usually greater than the equivalent radial expansion rate, with an average ratio of approximately 6.34. This kinematic difference causes the spatial deviation of the center of mass trajectory to be mainly converted into a smaller separation time deviation, thereby reducing the impact of the one-dimensional model spatial trajectory error on the separation volume prediction. Figure 4 This demonstrates the rationality of the forward integral termination criterion and the kinematic regularization settings.
