AIT-VEPOP (IST-1999-13346) is a European Research Project within the IST Programme of 5 Framework. The project is scheduled from July 2000 to June 2002. Members of the AITVEPOP consortium are EADS CCR (co-ordinator), Airbus GmbH, Astrium GmbH, Flowmaster Ltd., CNAM, University of Oulu, and DFKI. AIT-VEPOP deals with issues of cooperative work and concurrent engineering with respect to the use o...

in order to develop more efficient engines, it is essential to optimize the lubrication circuit of the power train systems. in this paper, during an engine design and development process, a network analysis of the engine lubrication system is described in detail. two elements have been added to the lubrication circuit in the modified engine. these elements are hydraulic lifters and an anti-drai...

Fluid flow models developed for pipe flows in gasoline port fuel injection system with different number of injectors working under steady state condition was simulated this study using Flow Master Software. Using existing equations, theoretical analysis were computed the same parameters and results obtained each parameter both simulation approach compared accordingly. The that had not shown muc...

Large axial flow pump systems (LAPS) are widely used in coastal stations. In the actual operation of a LAPS, various accidents often occur during shutdown due to unreasonable control stop measures such as gate. this paper, based on secondary development Flowmaster numerical software, simulation study was conducted process LAPS with different gate laws. It found that MBV greater if closed more s...

A large number of operation practices show that the reliability and stability axial flow pump systems will face significant challenges during start-up process. If control mode or safety auxiliary facilities stations are unreasonable, failure easily follow. In order to find a scientific strategy for stations, characteristics must be fully understood first. this paper, based on secondary developm...

Purpose: Centrifugal pumps are prone to vibration problems during operation due poor dynamic characteristics of its impellers that serve as the only running parts such devices; impeller main reasons for centrifugal pump. Therefore, it is important study internal fluid flow and influence on pump explore causes transient start-up process. The understanding phenomena may lead better design impelle...

Future fuel cell (FC) systems for automotive applications will significantly depend on the development and realization of efficient and reliable components. The screw compressor for charging of the FC stack constitutes one important component in the system. In the European project NFCCPP (Numerical Fuel Cell Component Performance Prediction tool) within the EC 5 FP, a modular simulation environ...
