Abstract
The present study describes problems related to the rational use of associated petroleum gas. In particular, the problem of effective gas flow stabilization at the gas-piston engine outlet is investigated. The analysis is applied to such kind of engine stabilizers and detailed studies revealed their major drawbacks. A hypothesis concerning the efficiency of using a direct-flow stabilizer (turbulizer/swirler) as a flow stabilizer is proposed. Simulation flow modeling in the direct-flow stabilizer is carried out. The simulation is carried out with the help of the SolidWorks Flow Simulation program for different profiles of the stabilizer flow section. The hypothesis on the efficient use of such units is confirmed. In terms of flow swirling the most effective flow section of the direct-flow stabilizer is revealed.
Highlights
In many cases petroleum gas (APG) is burned on flaring units or dissipated into the atmosphere at the oil and gas fields
The main problem of these mixers is that they do not allow regulating the flow swirling since the swirling is significantly reduced at low operating conditions and the efficiency of such swirlers falls [8]
Different cross section profiles devices were obtained in the SolidWorks software complex
Summary
In many cases petroleum gas (APG) is burned on flaring units or dissipated into the atmosphere at the oil and gas fields. The main problem of these mixers is that they do not allow regulating the flow swirling since the swirling is significantly reduced at low operating conditions (i.e. low Reynolds number) and the efficiency of such swirlers falls [8] In this connection, it is worth noting that literature points [9] to the fact that heat-exchange intensification is possible due to additional swirling of the flow and the effect of heat-exchange area increasing due to heat transfer surface ribbing or surface profiling. These indicators of swirling are almost comparable to the indices of diffusers [12].
