Numerical study of parameters of unit for supplying additional gas flow in jet mill ejector

We have carried out numerical simulation of the flow in the jet mill ejector. The features of ejector are an annular unit for supplying an additional gas flow in the form of a confuser section at the inlet to the accelerating tube, as well as a confuser at the outlet of the accelerating tube. In the course of the study, we have varied the length of the confuser section at the inlet and the angle of an additional gas flow supply. We have established the optimal parameters of the unit for supplying an additional gas flow in the ejector, at which it has been the most uniform distribution of the flow velocity at the outlet of the accelerating tube. The use of the ejector scheme under study ensures the alignment of the vortex flow and a stable near-wall layer throughout the accelerating tube. The results of the study can be used to improve the efficiency of the grinding process in a jet mill.
