Abstract
A spiral fluid flow is available for conveying, drying or separating pulverulent substances particle substances, slurries or gases. To obtain a high speed stable spiral fluid flow, there is used a device provided with a slit formed between a main conical cylinder connected to a pipe line and a subcylinder connected to the main cylinder on the opposite side remote from the pipe line, and a pressurized fluid is supplied through this slit. The device is also provided with a pressurized fluid supply section.
Claims6
A method of generating a spiral fluid flow, comprising the steps of;
- preparing a device such that an annular-slit is formed between a large diameter end of a main conical cylinder having a small diameter end connectable to a long conveyance pipe line and an end of a subcylinder, an inner wall surface of the annular-slit on the main cylinder side being smoothly curved so as to change to an inner wall of the main cylinder, an angle of inclination .theta. of the conical portion being determined to tan .theta.=1/4 to 1/8, an inner wall surface of the annularslit on the subcylinder side being sharply bent so as to change to an inner wall of the subcylinder;
- and
- supplying a pressurized gas through to the annular-slit to generate a high speed spiral flow within the long conveyance pipe line.
A device for generating a spiral fluid flow, comprising a structure such that a subcylinder is connected via an annular slit to an end of a large diameter side of a main cylinder having a body with a diameter larger than that of a long conveyance pipe line, a wall surface of said annular slit on the main cylinder side being smoothly curved so as to change to an inner wall of the main cylinder, a wall surface of said annular slit on the subcylinder side being bent so as to change to an inner wall of the subcylinder, an opposite end of the main cylinder being gradually reduced in diameter to such an extent as to be equal to a diameter of the long conveyance pipe line in conical shape for connection with the long conveyance pipe line, the angle of inclination .theta. of the conical portion being determined to tan .theta.=1/4 to 1/8;
- and means for supplying a pressurized gas to an outer side of said annular slit.
