Pressure loss and linearity law of phase change in liquid nitrogen seepage flow in coal mine

  • 摘要: 采空区煤自燃是煤矿热动力灾害之一,防治遗煤自燃发火的瓶颈是精准防灭火,其科学问题之一是液氮在采空区内流动损失及其快速预测方法。基于采空区多孔介质的结构,搭建采空区注液氮渗流相变压损实验平台,优选耐低温钙钠玻璃,形成多孔介质通道,开展渗流速度与填充粒径对液氮在多孔介质中渗流相变压损的研究,进一步利用数值仿真验证并拓展渗流速度对压损影响的数据组。结果表明:液氮在多孔介质管道中渗流时,由于重力和气化作用的影响,低温管道外壁出现上下分层润湿现象;其次,填充粒径由3 mm增加到6 mm,实验平台的多孔介质孔隙率由0.240 9变化到0.266 9,液氮在多孔介质通道中渗流相变,气化为氮气,体积增大,压强增大;在流体密度、黏度以及表面张力不变的情况下,随着渗流速度的增加,气液两相界面处毛细管力与黏性力相互作用,流体由牛顿流体向非牛顿流体转变,使得单位长度压损与渗流速度呈线性相关;此外,数值仿真所建模型的计算结果与试验相对误差不大于15%,且液氮的渗流速度从0.001 m/s增大到0.08 m/s时,单位长度压损与渗流速度线性拟合度为99%,进一步验证了试验结论的可靠性。所得结论揭示了液氮在多孔介质中渗流相变压损与渗流速度呈线性变化的规律,可为采空区精准防灭火提供理论依据。

     

    Abstract: Spontaneous combustion of coal in goaf areas is one of the thermal dynamic disasters in coal mines. A bottleneck in preventing and controlling spontaneous combustion of residual coal is precise fire prevention and extinguishing, with one of the scientific issues being the loss of liquid nitrogen flow and its rapid prediction method within goaf areas. Based on the structure of the porous medium in goaf areas, an experimental platform for liquid nitrogen seepage, phase change, and pressure loss was constructed. Low-temperature-resistant calcium-sodium glass was selected to form porous medium channels, through which studies were conducted on the effects of seepage velocity and particle size on the pressure loss during the phase change of liquid nitrogen in the porous medium. Numerical simulations were further utilized to validate and expand the data sets on the influence of seepage velocity on pressure loss. The results indicate that when liquid nitrogen seeps through the porous medium conduit, due to gravity and vaporization effects, a stratified wetting phenomenon occurs on the outer wall of the low-temperature conduit. Secondly, as the particle size used to fill the porous medium experimental platform increases from 3 mm to 6 mm, and the porosity changes from 0.2409 to 0.2669, the liquid nitrogen undergoes phase change to gaseous nitrogen within the porous medium channel, resulting in increased volume and pressure. Under conditions where fluid density, viscosity, and surface tension remain constant, with increasing seepage velocity, capillary forces and viscous forces interact at the gas-liquid interface, causing the fluid to transition from a Newtonian to a non-Newtonian fluid, which leads to a linear relationship between pressure loss per unit length and seepage velocity. In addition, the relative error between the numerical simulation model's computational results and the experimental data does not exceed 15%, and when the seepage velocity of liquid nitrogen increases from 0.001 m/s to 0.08 m/s, the linearity fit between pressure loss per unit length and seepage velocity reaches 99%, further validating the reliability of the experimental conclusions. The findings reveal the linear variation pattern between pressure loss during the phase change of liquid nitrogen in the porous medium and seepage velocity, providing a theoretical basis for precise fire prevention and extinguishing in goaf areas.
