The dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy () and shear rate (γ) are the key process parameters for mixing in surface aerators. At constant dynamic variables (rotational speed), both  and γ are greatly affected by the geometric parameters (impeller diameter, cross-sectional area of the tank, liquid height, rotor blade length and immersion height). By doing numerical computation by VISIM...

In this paper a rotational, radial-flux energy harvester incorporating a three-phase generation principle is presented for converting energy from water flow in domestic water pipelines. The energy harvester together with a power management circuit and energy storage is used to power a smart metering system installed underground making it independent from external power supplies or depleting bat...

This work aims to evaluate the efficiency of ultrasonic degassing when applied to the AlSi9Cu3 alloy when compared with other degassing techniques. The mechanism of aluminium degassing is discussed. A suitable ultrasonic degassing apparatus including a novel MMM (Multi-frequency Multimode Modulated) technology, able to supply up to 1.2 kW power under a frequency up to 25 kHz, was developed spec...

Regions of positive slope in the pressure-discharge characteristics can result in a reduction or even lack of damping of system instabilities. They are therefore one of the major concerns in design and operation of centrifugal pumps as they are limiting the admissible operating range. The considered preliminary hydraulic design of an industrial double suction pump of medium specific speed ν = 0...

Low grade sulfide ores are difficult to process due their composite mineralogy and fine grained dissemination with gangue minerals. Therefore, grinding of such becomes essential liberate valuable In this research, selective flotation was carried out using two pitched blade turbine impellers diameters 6 cm 7 float copper nickel. The main focus research generate optimum hydrodynamic conditions th...

The vibration of centrifugal pumps, running at both best efficiency point (BEP) and at low flow, is of interest to both pump designers and users. This vibration is responsible for the poor seal and bearing life and reduced mean time between failure (MTBF). The cause of vane pass vibration and multiples of this are explained in this paper. The causes of low flow vibrations are also explored. The...

Abstract It is of great practical value to complete the low-pressure casting aluminum alloy impeller in current development process. In research, it necessary focus on factory realization and use produce impellers, so that castings with compact structure meeting performance requirements can be obtained. Compared other methods, itself, as a precision method, cast metal solution lower pressure ap...

A standardized and cost-effective risk assessment toolkit is described in this paper to comprehensively analyze centrifugal compressor impellers under steady and dynamic loads. The first step in this process occurs in the proposal stage where the gas loading levels are appraised using a preliminary screening computer program. The application engineers execute the product configuration program f...

In tidal two-way contra-rotating units, significant differences in performance often occur when arranging the front and rear impellers, which requires an optimized design of impellers. To solve this problem, by reducing blade inlet outlet angles, impact different angles on pump–turbines internal flow was explored, effects angle impellers counter-rotating pump were obtained. Afterward, streamlin...

the multiple reference frames (mrf) method is the most suitable method tosimulate impeller rotation in mixing systems. precise determination of stationaryand moving zones in mrf method leads to accurate results in mixing performance.in this research, the entire volume of mixing system was divided into two zones.the kinetic energy values were used to distinguish the zones with differentvelocitie...
