Abstract—This paper presents an overall study of Feedback Control of Z-Source Converter Fed Separately excited DC motor with centrifugal Pump Set. Z-source converter can be used for both voltage buck and boost mode using LC impedance network. In this paper the dynamic modeling of Z-source with motor load and centrifugal pump set is carried out with new findings. The compensators for speed feedb...

The objective of this study was to examine the interaction of cardiopulmonary bypass venous air with assisted venous drainage, focusing on its production of gaseous microemboli in the arterial line. An in-vitro recirculating cardiopulmonary bypass circuit containing fresh whole bovine blood was monitored with a pulsed-doppler microbubble detector. Air of specific amounts was injected into the v...

Centrifugal pumps are extensively used to transfer liquids to the required head with the help of centrifugal forces. The impeller forms the crucial part of the centrifugal pumps. Its shapes, dimensions, number of the blades affects the overall performance of the pumps.In this paper, effect of number of blades in the impellers are investigated using CFD tool. Considering the number of blades in ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of heparin-coated perfusion circuits with low-dose heparinization and centrifugal pumping compared with the standard method during coronary artery bypass grafting. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, single-blind clinical trial. SETTING A primary care institution. PATIENTS Ninety patients who underwent first-time elective coronary artery bypass gr...

An implantable centrifugal blood pump was developed for longterm ventricular assistance in cardiac patients. In vitro tests were performed, as wear evaluation, performance tests and hemolysis tests in human blood. Numerical computational simulations were performed during design process in order to predict its best geometry. Wear evaluations helped to select the best materials for double pivot b...

The back-flow of an aortic valvo-pump will reduce the pumping flow rate but can wash out the gap between the rotor and the stator, and thus can improve the antithrombogenicity of the device. To investigate the regurgitation of a 23mm OD aortic valvo-pump, its closed impeller was replaced by a cylinder and hereby the valvopump had lost its pumping function. The pressure head crossing the aortic ...

Pump cavitation is the formation and subsequent collapse or implosion of vapor bubbles in a pump. It occurs when the absolute pressure on the liquid falls below the liquid’s vapor pressure. This paper describes the validation of cavitation inception on a radial flow pump which develops 21m of head at 26lps of discharge at its best efficiency point (BEP) of discharge while operating at a speed o...

This paper concentrates on cavitation detection using discrete wavelet transform by classifying the pump vibration signal. Vibration signal acquired from centrifugal pump cavitation test rig carry more information about the cavitation classes. In this paper two classes has been defined namely, no cavitation class and developed cavitation class. This method uses the deviation from zero mean valu...

Traditional commercial centrifugal pump designs have specific speeds (Ns) greater than 500 because low values of Ns are usually associated with low efficiency, pulsation, and a drooping head characteristic. In this instance, acceptable hydraulic performance is achieved with a unique impeller design coupled with direct current (DC) motor characteristics. When the specific speed of a centrifugal ...

In contrast to conventional generators, self-excited induction generators are found to be most suitable machines for wind energy conversion in remote and windy areas due to many advantages over grid connected machines. This papers presents a Self-Excited Induction Generator (SEIG) driven by wind turbine and supplying an induction motor which is coupled to a centrifugal pump. A method to describ...
