oil uptake occurs mainly during cooling immediately after frying. post-frying centrifuge step used to remove the attached oil to the surface of friedproduct. response surface methodology (rsm) technique was used to develop models for the responses to the centrifugal force (100, 200 and 300 rpm) and centrifugal time (20, 50 and 80 s), frying temperature (140, 170 and 200 c) and frying time (4, ...

The purpose of this investigation was to analyze how left ventricular assist device (LVAD) with a centrifugal pump alters left ventricular diastolic hemodynamics and energy by means of a left ventricular pressure volume relationship. Fifteen anesthetized normal pig hearts were studied after placement of an apical drainage LVAD with a centrifugal pump. Indices of the left ventricular isovolumic ...

The energy performance and pressure fluctuations in a centrifugal pump with inlet guide vanes (IGVs) are investigated experimentally and numerically in a prewhirl angle range of −24◦ to 24◦ and in an axial distance range of 280 mm, 380 mm, and 460 mm. The reliability and accuracy of the numerical method are validated by the satisfactory agreement between the experimental data and numerical resu...

The development of electrostatic potentials generated during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures using polyvinylchloride (PVC) tubing in conjunction with roller pumps has been previously documented. The resulting damage from the electrostatic discharge (ESD) has been reported to affect gas transfer devices, but details of potential damage to electronic components commonly used during extrac...

Centrifugal slurry pumps are widely used in the oil sand industry, mining, ore processing, waste treatment, cement production, and other industries to move mixtures of solids and liquids. Wear of slurry pump components, caused by abrasive and erosive solid particles, is one of the main causes of reduction in the efficiency and useful life of these pumps. This leads to unscheduled outages that c...

The risk of air emboli is a concern for all perfusionists. A new clamping device for use with centrifugal pumps is designed to clamp both the arterial and venous lines at the first indication of air or retrograde flow, thereby allowing the perfusionist to evaluate the situation and correct the problem before entraining air into the arterial pump head. After evaluating this device in our lab, we...

Pumping viscous fluids using centrifugal pumps in the subsea industry is very common. The pump performance degrades drastically when viscosity of increases, which ultimately gives rise to installation and oil production cost. Their design optimization can lead a significant improvement their performance. Therefore, this study presented effect impeller geometry on pumping fluid through optimizat...

Currently, the leading Russian oil companies engaged in the development of automatic control systems (ACS) oil equipment, to improve its efficiency. As an example of an object needed to optimize its work, a centrifugal pumping unit (CPU) can be specified. Frequency actuators provide an opportunity to run CPU in any algorithm, and many industrial controllers, are part of the automatic control sy...

Centrifugal pumps are used in cooling the engine by pumping water as coolant into the engine. The normal function of the coolant is to discharge coolant at a specific velocity into the engine coolant volume, once the coolant crosses 150 C temperatures then it is taken to the radiator for cooling to 50 C. Due to changes in the engine design it is desired to have changes in the centrifugal pump d...
