Abstract

Corrugated plate dryer is a very vital separation equipment for nuclear engineering and it is meaningful to study the flow, fluctuation and breakdown characteristics of the liquid film on corrugated plate wall. Liquid film thickness of steady flow is measured based on plane laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) technique and time series of liquid film thickness are obtained. Besides, amplitude and frequency domain information of liquid film fluctuations are analyzed by probability density function (PDF), power spectral density (PSD) and wavelet method. A two-dimensional liquid film breakdown model is established. Critical airflow velocity when the water film breakdown is measured experimentally. Based on theoretical results, equations for calculating critical airflow velocity of the corrugated plate under different liquid film thicknesses are fitted in the form of nike function. Fitting equations for calculating critical airflow velocity in the form of nike function agree well with experimental results.
