This paper presents the development of a multiphase aerodynamic reactor designed for multi-component systems, focusing on precise catalyst dosing in the combustion chamber. The study aims to underscore the significance of this work by emphasizing the critical role of optimized operational conditions in enhancing the transportation of the modifier for combustion processes. Through comprehensive numerical simulations and experimental tests, this research explores the impact of parameters such as flow rates of the dosed substance and air, dosing nozzle outlet diameter, and conduit diameter on the flow rate and trajectory of the transported modifier. The findings highlight the importance of a minimum droplet diameter of 30 μm, preferably 50 μm, for proper delivery to the combustion chamber. This study not only identifies key differences between analyzed structures but also emphasizes the crucial role of these operational parameters in achieving optimal conditions for modifier transport.

The paper presents the concept of new swirl inserts. An empty two-phase swirl flow atomizer, and three atomizers with inserts were designed, manufactured and tested. The tested atomizers did not differ in terms of their geometric dimensions, with the only variable being the type swirl chamber filling. Flow resistance and spray angle values were analysed for all the evaluated structures. It was shown that the presence of a swirl insert does not significantly increase flow resistance, but instead results in larger spray angles. Taking into account the values of flow resistance and spray angles, the best design solution turned out to be the set of inserts No. 2.
