Centrifugal pumps are superior to roller pumps for extended support durations in terms of pump-induced haemolysis. In this study, we evaluated the commonly used Biomedicus BP 50 and compared it with the Jostra Rotaflow and a standard roller pump in an in vitro test circuit. Each circuit was run for a six-day period and repeated five times. Plasma haemoglobin values showed the roller pump to bec...

In order to simulate the energy efficiency fluctuation behavior of an industrial centrifugal pump with a six-blade impeller, a full-scale three-dimensional (3D) an unsteady state computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was used. Five operational points with different flow fluxes were numerically investigated by using the Navier–Stokes code with shear-stress transport (SST) k-ω turbulence model...

PMD (Parallel Multi-domain Decomposition) is an MPI based Fortran 90 module which objective is to parallel-solve positive definite linear elliptic second order equations. It has been used to solve unsteady Navier-Stokes equations in order to simulate an axisymmetric incompressible viscous fluid flow inside a centrifugal pump. In this paper, we will present a brief description of the implementat...

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...

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...

The demand for higher efficiencies and performance of modern centrifugal turbomachinery requires improved knowledge of critical design factors in strength of materials, aerodynamics, and rotordynamics. While tremendous strides in finite element stress analysis and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have addressed the first two areas, the lack of accurate prediction tools for centrifugal impelle...

one of the most problems that limits use of turbomachines at high speed applications is cavitation. cavitation can damage casing and blades of turbopump, also can make unstability in system. inducer that was installed in front of main impeller can improve cavitation characteristic of system and increase static pressure just before entrance of centrifugal pump. specially in fuel feed system of l...
