Rapid changes in the performance-related parameters of a pump during its startup operation lead to large pressure fluctuations and structural vibrations it. In view these problems, this study investigates evolution cavitation characteristics under centrifugal startup. We use finite volume method simulate dynamic process. To characterize acceleration, we assume that rotational speed rate flow ar...

The technology for producing artificial rutile by the reduction-rusting method has advantages of high product quality and less slag. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to simulate solid-liquid suspension gas-liquid dispersion characteristics in stirred corrosion reactor. results show that maximum volume fraction difference solid phase reactor with an upward-lifting impeller 0.02, down...

The VentrAssist implantable rotary blood pump, intended for long term ventricular assist, is under development and is currently being tested for its rotor-dynamic stability. A shaftless impeller, which also acts as the rotor of the brushless DC motor, is passively suspended in the pump cavity by hydrodynamic forces. The paper presents experimental investigation of the displacement of the impell...

With the exploitation of deep sea and desert oil fields, multiphase pumps have come into public eye. However, due to nature medium operating environment, performance traditional has diminished, leading problems such as increased recovery cycles rising costs. In order obtain a high-head, high-reliability pump, this paper uses model optimization method design complex pattern impeller. The best im...

It is quite well known that the diffusers are required for efficient conversion of the dynamic head generated by the impeller in a centrifugal fan. Hence the flow into the diffuser passage plays a crucial role in determining the efficiency of conversion. The flow in the region bounded by the impeller exit and the diffuser entry i.e. the radial clearance space is generally considered to be highl...

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model that evaluates mechanical mixing in a full-scale anaerobic digester was developed to investigate the influence of sewage sludge rheology on the steady-state digester performance. Mechanical mixing is provided through an impeller located in a draft tube. Use is made of the Multiple Reference Frame model to incorporate the rotating impeller. The non-Newt...

This paper presents the optimization of vibrations of centrifugal pump considering fluid-structure interaction (FSI). A set of centrifugal pumps with various blade shapes were studied using FSI method, in order to investigate the transient vibration performance. The Kriging model, based on the results of the FSI simulations, was established to approximate the relationship between the geometrica...

A pump is a machine or device that raises liquid from low surface to higher moves low-pressure high-pressure area. centrifugal equipment used provide energy fluid (liquid) based on the force generated by rotating impeller. So can be moved one place another. As it receives through impeller, velocity will increase. This kinetic then converted into compressive housing (casing) in form of spiral (v...

A ventricular assist device (VAD), which is a miniaturized axial flow pump from the point of view of mechanism, has been designed and studied in this report. It consists of an inducer, an impeller, and a diffuser. The main design objective of this VAD is to produce an axial pump with a streamlined, idealized, and nonobstructing blood flow path. The magnetic bearings are adapted so that the impe...

A secondary nucleation model mainly based on the findings of Ottens (1973) and Evans (1974) considering both crystal-impeller collisions and crystal-crystal collisions was investigated using experimental data obtained from two crystallizers, a 22-liter Draft Tube (DT) crystallizer and an 1100-liter Draft Tube Baffled (DTB) crystallizer, which are both operated continuously in an evaporative mod...
