摘要:
There are few systematic studies to investigate the inherent reason behind the evolution law of ejector performance, only some simple qualitative or roundabout analysis. In this paper, a double-choking theory is proposed to provide an in-depth explanation of the evolution laws of ejector performance. The systematic investigation and quantitative analysis focus on the influences of various operational and geometrical parameters on the ejector choking flows. Key results revealed that the flow area of the primary jet flow at the choking cross-section A(py) almost linearly increases with higher primary flow pressure p(p0), while the entrainment choking area A(ey) declines instead, and thus the entrainment ratio epsilon decreases. The mixing pressure p(y) significantly increases with entrainment pressure p(e0), and A(py) partly reduces. Consequently, A(ey) becomes larger and epsilon is accordingly with an over-double increase. A(py) undergoes a continuous decrease when the area ratio of primary nozzle lambda(t) increases, and thus e rises consistently although A(ey1) eventually experiences a slight decrease. However, the choking state of the entrained flow would discontinue as lambda(t) exceeds its critical value lambda(tc). Additionally, A(ey) increases substantially when the area ratio of the constant-area section lambda(3) enlarges, while A(py) and p(y) always remain unchanged. Accordingly, epsilon follows the same increasing trajectory as A(ey). These impactful results could serve as an essential guide for optimizing the ejector design, and also ensure a clearer perspective to understand the fundamental link between the ejectors entrainment performance and choking flow.
