To solve the problems of poor mixing effect and poor sphericity for the silicon nitride particles in the dry granulation chamber, the influence of the inclination parameters for the open turbine typed axial‒radial combined structure on the mixing effect of silicon nitride particles prepared by dry method was studied. The mathematical model of Eulerian‒Eulerian gas‒solid two phase flow was established, and the physical model of the axial‒diameter combined structure granulation chamber was simplified. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method was used to analyze the volume distribution and velocity field of silicon nitride particles in granulation chamber in the axial structure under the different inclined angles. The sphericity of silicon nitride particles was tested by experiments, and the accuracy of numerical simulation results was verified. The numerical analysis results show that, when the inclination angle is 45°, the volume fraction of silicon nitride particles is 0.3~0.7 (accounting for 28%), showing the better circulating fluidity and the best mixing effect, compared with the inclination angle of 30° and 60°. The experimental results show that, the best average sphericity of the silicon nitride particles is 0.72 when the inclination angle of the axis‒diameter combined structure is 45°, which can effectively improve the mixing effect of silicon nitride particles.

In order to improve the whirling phenomenon of Si 3 N 4 particles in the granulation chamber, the influence of the structure of the granulation chamber on the internal distribution is explored. Euler Euler's two-phase flow model is established. The flow field in the combined structure granulation chamber with different layout is simulated. The volume distribution and velocity field change of Si 3 N 4 particles in the combined structure granulation chamber with different layout are analyzed. The results show that the angle between two adjacent composite structures is 20 ∘ , 60 ∘ , 80 ∘ and completely standard the Si 3 N 4 particles with volume fraction index greater than 0.8 account for 10.2%, 11.5%, 12.5% and 6.7% of the total volume respectively. When the combined structure is completely standard, several small convolutions are found. The whirling phenomenon in the granulation chamber is improved. When the angle between two adjacent composite structures is 20 ∘ , 60 ∘ , 80 ∘ and complete standard, the proportion of qualified particles is 59%, 64%, 66% and 68%. The fluidity index is 84, 85, 87 and 88, respectively. To sum up, the combination structure of the granulation chamber is a complete standard, it is beneficial to improve the spin phenomenon of Si 3 N 4 particles in the granulation chamber.
