Abstract

The objectives of this research were determined to optimize orifice plates for applying to use as a cavitation inducer device inside the hydrodynamic cavitation reactor. In this experiment, we focused on the comparison between five orifice plates with different configurations i.e., size, number, and shape of holds. The effect of different parameters such as operating condition (inlet pressure) and geometrical of the orifice plates (total perimeter holds, gif.latex?\alpha and gif.latex?\small&space;\beta) have been studied. The experimental results showed that the inlet pressure considerably affects the degree of cavitation phenomenon when inlet pressure increases with decreasing cavitation number. Optimum inlet pressure of 4 bar gives a minimum value of cavitation number for all orifice plates. In addition, it was found that the geometry of the orifice plates plays an important role in the value of the cavitation number. The value of the cavitation number decreased with increasing parameter gif.latex?\alpha and gif.latex?\small&space;\beta. At the inlet pressure 4 bar, the results obtained confirmed that orifice plates OP-3 with the configuration of holes diameter was 2 mm and 24 holes performed better with cavitation number of 0.52 as compared to orifice plate OP-2, OP-1, OP-4, and OP-5, respectively when considered degree of cavitation phenomenon inside the reactor. In conclusion, the orifice plates OP-3 was more suitable for cavitation inducer devices in the hydrodynamics cavitation reactor for the biodiesel production process.
