Performance Study Based on Inner Flow Field Numerical Simulation of Magnetic Drive Pumps with Different Rotate Speeds

Magnetic drive pump has gotten great achievement and has been widely used in some special fields. Currently, the researches on magnetic drive pump have focused on hydraulic design, bearing, axial force in China, and a new magnetic drive pump with low flow and high head have been developed overseas. However, low efficiency and large size are the common disadvantages for the magnetic drive pump. In order to study the performance of high-speed magnetic drive pump, FLUENT was used to simulate the inner flow field of magnetic drive pumps with different rotate speeds, and get velocity and pressure distributions of inner flow field. According to analysis the changes of velocity and pressure to ensure the stable operation of pump and avoid cavitation. Based on the analysis of velocity and pressure, this paper presents the pump efficiency of magnetic drive pumps with different rotated speeds by calculating the power loss in impeller and volute, hydraulic loss, volumetric loss, mechanical loss and discussing the different reasons of power loss between the magnetic drive pumps with different rotated speeds. In addition, the magnetic drive pumps were tested in a closed testing system. Pressure sensors were set in inlet and outlet of magnetic drive pumps to get the pressure and the head, while the pump efficiency could be got by calculating the power loss between the input power and the outlet power. The results of simulation and test were similar, which shows that the method of simulation is feasible. The proposed research provides the instruction to design high-speed magnetic drive pump.

Dynamic Stiffness Analysis and Experimental Verification of Axial Magnetic Bearing Based on Air Gap Flux Variation in Magnetically Suspended Molecular Pump

Current and displacement stiffness are important parameters of axial magnetic bearing(AMB)and are usually considered as constants for the control system.However,in actual dynamic work situations,time-varying force leads to time-varying currents and air gap with a specific frequency,which makes the stiffness of appear decrease and even worsens control performance for the whole system.In this paper,an AMB dynamic stiffness model considering the flux variation across the air gap due to frequency is established to obtain the accurate dynamic stiffness.The dynamic stiffness characteristics are analyzed by means of the dynamic equivalent magnetic circuit method.The analytical results show that the amplitude of current and displacement stiffness decreases with frequency increasing.Moreover,compared with the stiffness model without considering the variation of flux density across the air gap,the improved dynamic stiffness results are closer to the actual results.Through the dynamic stiffness measurement method of AMB,experiments of AMB in magnetically suspended molecular pump(MSMP)are carried out and the experimental results are consistent with theoretical analysis results.This paper proposes the dynamic stiffness model of axial magnetic bearing considering the variation of flux density across the air gap,which improves the accuracy of the AMB stiffness analysis.

Optical pumping nuclear magnetic resonance system rotating in a plane parallel to the quantization axis

A model of an optical pumping nuclear magnetic resonance system rotating in a plane parallel to the quantization axis is presented. Different coordinate frames for nuclear spin polarization vector are introduced, and theoretical calculation is conducted to analyze this model. We demonstrate that when the optical pumping nuclear magnetic resonance system rotates in a plane parallel to the quantization axis, it will maintain a steady state with respect to the quantization axis which is independent of rotational speed and direction.

Parameter analysis for a nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope based on ^(133)Cs–^(129)Xe/^(131)Xe

We theoretically investigate several parameters for the nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope based on ^（133）C_（s–）^（129）Xe/^（131）Xe. For a cell containing a mixture of ^（133）Cs at saturated pressure, we investigate the optimal quenching gas（N_2） pressure and the corresponding pump laser intensity to achieve 30% ^（133）Cs polarization at the center of the cell when the static magnetic field B0 is 5 μT with different ^（129）Xe/^（131）Xe pressure. The effective field produced by spin-exchange polarized ^（129）Xe or ^（131）Xe sensed by ^（133）Cs can also be discussed in different^（129）Xe/^（131）Xe pressure conditions. Furthermore,the relationship between the detected signal and the probe laser frequency is researched. We obtain the optimum probe laser detuning from the D2（6~2S_（1/2）→ 6~2P_（3/2）） resonance with different ^（129）Xe/^（131）Xe pressure owing to the pressure broadening.

Cilia-assisted hydromagnetic pumping of biorheological couple stress fluids

A theoretical study is conducted for magnetohydrodynamic pumping of electroconductive couple stress physiological liquids(e.g.blood)through a two-dimensional ciliated channel.A geometric model is employed for the cilia which are distributed at equal intervals and produce a whip-like motion under fluid interaction which obeys an elliptic trajectory.A metachronal wave is mobilized by the synchronous beating of cilia and the direction of wave propagation is parallel to the direction of fluid flow.A transverse static magnetic field is imposed transverse to the channel length.The Stokes’couple stress(polar)rheological model is utilized to characterize the liquid.The normalized two-dimensional conservation equations for mass,longitudinal and transverse momentum are reduced with lubrication approximations(long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions)and feature a fourth order linear derivative in axial velocity representing couple stress contribution.A coordinate transformation is employed to map the unsteady problem from the wave laboratory frame to a steady problem in the wave frame.No slip conditions are imposed at the channel walls.The emerging linearized boundary value problem is solved analytically and expressions presented for axial(longitudinal)velocity,volumetric flow rate,shear stress function and pressure rise.The flow is effectively controlled by three geometric parameters,viz cilia eccentricity parameter,wave number and cilia length and two physical parameters,namely magnetohydrodynamic(MHD)body force parameter and couple stress non-Newtonian parameter.Analytical solutions are numerically evaluated with MATLAB software.Axial velocity is observed to be enhanced in the core region with greater wave number whereas it is suppressed markedly with increasing cilia length,couple stress and magnetic parameters,with significant flattening of profiles with the latter two parameters.Axial pressure gradient is decreased with eccentricity parameter whereas it is elevated with cilia length,in the channel core region.Increasing couple stress and magnetic field parameter respectively enhance and suppress pressure gradient across the entire channel width.The pressure-flow rate relationship is confirmed to be inversely linear and pumping,free pumping and augmented pumping zones are all examined.Bolus trapping is also analyzed.The study is relevant to MHD biomimetic blood pumps.
