Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation and Experimental Validation of Hydraulic Performance of a Vertical Suspended API Pump (RESEARCH NOTE)

For a long period of time, design and manufacturing technology of high flow rated vertically suspended pumps (VSPs) which have an extensive applications in many industries such as water and wastewater, mining, petrochemical and oil and gas industries, used to be imported from European countries. For the first time in Iran's pump industry, with the support of Ministry of Petrochemical[ah1]  and ...

Computational fluid dynamics study and GA modeling approach of the bend angle effect on thermal-hydraulic characteristics in zigzag channels

In the study, the thermal-hydraulic performance of the zigzag channels with circular cross-section was analyzed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The standard K-Ꜫ turbulent scalable wall functions were used for modeling. The wall temperature was assumed constant 353 K and water was used as the working fluid. The zigzag serpentine channels with bend angles of 5 - 45° were studied for turbul...

Computational fluid dynamics simulations for investigation of parameters affecting goaf gas distribution

It is necessary to obtain a fundamental understanding of the goaf gas flow patterns in longwall mine in order to develop optimum goaf gas drainage and spontaneous combustion (sponcom) management strategies. The best ventilation layout for a longwall underground mine should assist in goaf gas drainage and further reduce the risk of sponcom in the goaf. Further, in the longwall panel, regulators ...

New Developments in Mixing, Coagulation, Flocculation and Flotation for Industrial Wastewater Pretreatment

Solid/liquid separations are a mature technology area and few new developments occurred in seventies and eighties. However, last decade witnessed appearance of a significant number of new innovative systems in this field. (Rubio et al., 2002) This paper describes new developments in mixing, coagulation, flocculation and flotation systems for industrial wastewater treatment. (Ross et al., 2000; ...

CFD-Calculation of Fluid Flow in a

An accurate description of the fluid flow and heat transfer within a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), for the safety analysis and reactor performance is always desirable. In this paper a mathematical model of the fundamental physical phenomena which are associated to a typical PWR is presented. The mathematical model governs the fluid dynamics in the reactor. Using commercial software CFX, a co...
