Abstract:
This study proposes a time-evolution method to simulate acoustic gas-mixture separation. The proposed method can calculate the separation process without any arbitrary parameters except for space and time resolutions. The molar-fraction distribution within the system during the separation can be calculated, and the results show that a large molar-fraction gradient occurs in the separation tube, while a distribution also occurs in the resonance tube. Although the simulation results for the case with a high-pressure amplitude diverge from that of the experiment during the process of the separation, the simulation results for the case with a low-pressure amplitude agree well with those of the experiment.
