Numerical Simulation and Analysis of a Vertical Centrifuge

In order to solve the separation efficiency problem of the vertical centrifuge. First, understand the working principle and dynamic theory of the centrifuge, preliminarily design the technical parameters from the experience and experimental data of the prototype, solid works model, specify the overall structure scheme, and complete the virtual assembly. Secondly, the work performance is verified. The production capacity is calculated with power to meet the design requirements. Then, to verify the design strength and deformation meet the design requirements. Then, the finite element numerical analysis of the internal flow field. The FLUENT software is used to analyze the internal flow field velocity distribution and the turbulent kinetic energy of the centrifuge. Finally, a solid phase distribution rule analysis was performed to investigate the effect of particle diameter size on the separation performance at a suitable particle volume fraction.
