Drying characteristics of slot jet reattachment nozzle and comparison with a slot jet nozzle
- Texas A and M Univ., College Station, TX (United States)
Slot Jet Reattachment (SJR) nozzle is an extension of the Radial Jet Reattachment (RJR) concept used to provide high heat and mass transfer while minimizing flow exerted forces on the reattachment surface. The SJR is a slot jet nozzle with a bottom plate attached to it, which is machined to direct impinging flow at different angles to the surface. The drying characteristics of the SJR nozzle with four exit angles on a paper sample were studied for three Reynolds numbers, three temperatures and two initial moisture contents. Dry air was used as the jet fluid. Correlations to predict drying rates and moisture content for the SJR nozzle as a function of exit angle, temperature, Reynolds number and drying time, for a given initial moisture content, were developed. A comparison of the drying characteristics and net forces of the slot jet and SJR nozzles was also performed under the same flow power and surface peak pressure.
