| Summary: | The critical process parameters in manufacturing dry ice blasting nozzle geometry directly related to particle jet velocity. Many studies focused on its performance without considering the noise emission due to high operating pressure. This paper, a numerical simulation study was performed using Ansys Fluent to investigate the effect of nozzle geometry of single-hose dry ice blasting on the acoustic power level. The process of modelling the two-way mass momentum and energy exchange between two phases was successfully solved iteratively in the two-way mass momentum model and the energy exchange between the two phases. It was found that the value of noise emission reaches a maximum level when the shortest convergent angle of 20o with a minimal convergent length of 50 mm and a maximum length of 300 mm is introduced. Besides, the peak value of acoustic power level swell up to 146 dB occurs at a nozzle area ratio of 20 without influencing by convergent angle and extending the divergent length highly influencing noise reduction as less than 143.5 dB for a divergent length of 700 mm. |
