Energy Performance and Radial Force of a Mixed-Flow Pump with Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical Tip Clearances
The energy performance and radial force of a mixed flow pump with symmetrical and unsymmetrical tip clearance are investigated in this paper. As the tip clearance increases, the pump head and efficiency both decrease. The center of the radial force on the principal axis is located at the coordinate origin when the tip clearance is symmetrical, and moves to the third quadrant when the tip cleara...
متن کاملOptimization of GAMM Francis Turbine Runner
Nowadays, the challenge in hydraulic turbine design is the multi-objective design of turbine runner to reach higher efficiency. The hydraulic performance of a turbine is strictly depends on runner blades shape. The present paper focuses on the application of the multi-objective optimization algorithm to the design of a small Francis turbine runner. The optimization exercise focuses on the effic...
متن کاملControl System for Kaplan Hydro-Turbine
In hydro power plants from Romania, there is a major interest for the implementation of digital systems for monitoring and control to replace the conventional control systems for power, frequency and voltage. Therefore is necessary to develop mathematical models capable to accurately describe both dynamic and stationary behaviour of the hydro units, in order to be able to implement digital cont...
متن کاملTurbine Blade Tip Leakage Flow Control: Thick/Thin Blade Effects
An experiment was conducted in a linear cascade of Pak-B blades for an exit Mach number of 0.3 to simulate the flow in the tip-gap region of a low pressure turbine blade row. The experiment focused on the independent effects of thickness-to-gap and gapto-chord ratios on the tip-gap flow behavior. Two extreme gap-to-chord ratios of 5% and 8% were chosen, for which four thickness-to-gap ratios we...
متن کاملA Fatigue Analysis of a Hydraulic Francis Turbine Runner
In this work, the estimation of crack initiation life of a hydraulic Francis turbine runner is presented. The life prediction is based on the local strain approach to predict the initiation life. First, the analysis is carried out in air and in water condition and the runner’s natural frequencies were calculated using the finite element (FE) method. The analysis in air is compared with experime...
