In this study, to accurately predict cavitation of a centrifugal pump, numerical analysis was compared with experimental results modeled on a small industrial centrifugal pump. In this study, numerical analysis was compared with experimental results modeled on a small industrial centrifugal pump for reliable prediction on cavitation of a centrifugal pump. To improve validity of the numerical an...

In this paper, a simulation-based method is proposed for optimal placement of vibration sensors for the purpose of fault detection in a centrifugal pump. The centrifugal pump is modeled to investigate the effect of vane tip fault on fluid flow patterns numerically. Pressure pulsations are investigated at different locations at the inner surface of the pump before and after the presence of the f...

Qualification of employees who operate technological processes directly influences the safety of production. However, the employees’’ qualification cannot completely exclude human factor. Today, there are many technologies that can minimize or eliminate human factor impact on production safety ensuring. The augmented reality technology is an example of this technology. Nowadays, the augmented r...

A prototype of a non-occlusive pressure-regulated blood pump (M-pump) was evaluated in-vitro for safety in a comparative study with the roller and centrifugal pumps. The M-pump consists of collapsible tubing of unique design wrapped under tension around a rotor without a stator. The prototype M-pumps were tested in vitro to evaluate performance with respect to flow/ pressure characteristics, he...

An analytical study was carried out to investigate the performance of an oil supplying system of a variable speed compressor using a commercial CFD program. The simulations for the oil supplying system with the oil and air mixture were performed by varying compressor speed from 40 Hz to 90 Hz. Comparing the predicted with the measured data on the modified scroll compressor validated the simulat...

with the prolonged use of domestic centrifugal pump, due to erosion, corrosion and an unbalance the sever vibration of the pump are resulted. an erratic sound coming out of pump makes the user uncomfortable. here, tuned vibration absorber (tva) is used as a vibration controlling device. it is designed to reduce the rms velocity below 20% of the circumferential speed, at which the impeller is ba...

Experimental analysis on the oil supply characteristics of scroll compressor for package air conditioner has been presented based on the experimental apparatus operating at variable speed Scroll compressor has four major lubricating parts : the lower journal bearing, the main journal bearing, the orbiting scroll journal bearing and the thrust bearing between the orbiting scroll and the main fra...

The working characteristic of scroll oil pump and the propeny of medium oil are described in this paper, the leakage of oil IS analysed, and the mathemaucal model is set up for scroll o1l pump. The effects of the discharge port on the pressure of the working pocket, the oil d1splaccment and the requ1red power are obtained according to the results of calculation and e>;periment. The optimal desi...
