Investigation of Hydrodynamics During Continuous Vibroextraction in a Liquid–Solid Body System

Results of investigations of the hydrodynamics of flows in a counterflow continuous column-type vibroextractor for a liquid–solid body system and their generalization in the form of a mathematical description are presented. An equation for calculating the distance of propagation of pulsating turbulent jets formed by original vibrating transporting elements in a nonflowing medium, which can be taken as a scale factor in modeling the process, has been obtained. An analysis has been carried out, and a mathematical model of the structure of real flows in the vibroextractor has been developed on the basis of a combined model for the conditions of pulse perturbation of the hydrodynamic system of the apparatus. The mathematical description of the structure of flows can be taken as a base for the solution of optimization problems. We propose a new design of a vibratory extractor with a transporter for industry, which provides efficient separation of phases under the conditions of counterflow vibratory extraction of desired components from vegetable raw materials.
