CFD simulation and experimental investigation of a novel swirling jet induced cavitation reactor for methyl orange decolorization.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a novel design of a swirling jet-induced cavitation reactor (SJCR) was introduced, simulated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD), constructed, and implemented to decolorize the methyl orange (MO) dye in a pilot scale setup. According to the simulation results, the maximum velocity magnitude 41.4 m s^-1 was calculated at inlet pressure 1.0 MPa and the corresponding mass of vapor phase was 55.60 × 10^-3 mg. In the experimental results section, inlet pressure (0.4-0.8 MPa), bulk temperature (30-50 °C), initial pH (3- 9), initial MO concentration (5-20 mg L^-1), and Fenton's reagent (50 mg L^-1 for both Fe and H₂O₂) effects on the decolorization process were studied. In the optimum operating conditions (inlet pressur
