CALCULATION OF SPLITTING VANES AND INNER FLOW ANALYSIS FOR CENTRIFUGAL PUMP IMPELLER

Then a criterion that thedesign of splitting vanes of centrifugal compound impeller should ensure that the back flow arearatio be the minimum is proposed. On the basis of the criterion, the slippery theory is used as oneof CFD methods to analyze the inner flow field of the impeller of various kinds of splitting vanesdesign, therefore, the optimized design of splitting vanes is obtained and which agrees with that ofsome testing results.

Transient simulation of a pump-turbine with misaligned guide vanes during turbine model start-up

Experimental studies of a model pump-turbine S-curve characteristics and its improvement by misaligned guide vanes （MGV） were extended to prototype pump turbine through 3-D transient flow simulations. The unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the SST turbulence model were used to model the transient flow within the entire flow passage of a reversible pump-turbine with and without misaligned guide vanes during turbine model start-up. The unstable S-curve and its improvement by using misaligned guide vane were verified by model test and simulation. The transient flow calculations were used to clarify the variations of pressure pulse and internal flow behavior in the entire flow passage. The use of misaligned guide vanes can eliminate the S-curve characteristics of a pump-turbine, and can significantly increase the pressure pulse amplitude in the entire flow passage and the runner radial forces during start-up. The MGV only decreased the pulse amplitude on the guide vane suction side when the rotating speed was less than 50% rated speed. The hydraulic reason is that the MGV dramatically changed the flow patterns inside the entire flow passage, and destroyed the symmetry of the flow distribution inside the guide vane and runner.

The numerical method developed gives a reasonable description of the droplet deposition and secondary droplet generation, and it can be applied to predict the performance of wave-type vane separators.

Investigation on Mechanical Characteristics of Air Jet Acting on Nozzle Vanes of VNT

Extensive experimental studies are performed using force sensors to measure actuating forces of nozzle ring devices of variable nozzle turbines. Torques from pneumatic action applied onto axles of nozzle vanes have been calculated. Test results obtained through repeated experiments are quite congruent, confirming the effectiveness of this simple method. Results have indicated that, with a fixed opening angle of guide vane, pneumatic torque increases with mass flow of air jet in the turbine; moreover, under the same mass flow rate, torque decreases with reducing opening angle, even possibly change direction down to negative. The results have also provided a modus operandi for designing nozzle-adjusting devices as well as validation data for numerical study on changes of pneumatic torque onto guide vanes under full engine operating conditions.

Determining the Scour Dimensions Around Submerged Vanes in a 180°Bend with the Gene Expression Programming Technique

Submerged vanes are installed on rivers and channel beds to protect the outer bank bends from scouring.Also,local scouring occurs around the submerged vanes over time,and identifying the effective factors on the scouring phenomena around these submerged vanes is one of the important issues in river engineering.The most important aimof this study is investigation of scour pattern around submerged vanes located in 180°bend experimentally and numerically.Firstly,the effects of various parameters such as the Froude number(Fr),angle of submerged vanes to the flow(α),angle of submerged vane location in the bend(θ),distance between submerged vanes(d),height(H),and length(L)of the vanes on the dimensionless volume of the scour hole were experimentally studied.The submerged vanes were installed on a 180°bend whose central radius and channel width were 2.8 and 0.6 m,respectively.By reducing the Froude number,the scour hole volume decreased.For all Froude numbers,the biggest scour hole formed atθ=15°.In all models,by increasing the Froude number,the scour hole volume significantly increases.In addition,by increasing the submerged vanes’length and height,the scour hole dimensions also grow.Secondly,using gene expression programming(GEP),a relationship for determining the scour hole volume around the submerged vanes was provided.For this model,the determination coefficients(R2)for the training and test modes were computed as 0.91 and 0.9,respectively.In addition,this study performed partial derivative sensitivity analysis(PDSA).According to the results,the PDSA was calculated as positive for all input variables.

Wave-shaped microfluidic chip assisted point-of-care testing for accurate and rapid diagnosis of infections

Background:Early diagnosis and classification of infections increase the cure rate while decreasing complications,which is significant for severe infections,especially for war surgery.However,traditional methods rely on laborious operations and bulky devices.On the other hand,point-of-care(POC)methods suffer from limited robustness and accuracy.Therefore,it is of urgent demand to develop POC devices for rapid and accurate diagnosis of infections to fulfill on-site militarized requirements.Methods:We developed a wave-shaped microfluidic chip(WMC)assisted multiplexed detection platform(WMC-MDP).WMC-MDP reduces detection time and improves repeatability through premixing of the samples and reaction of the reagents.We further combined the detection platform with the streptavidin–biotin(SA-B)amplified system to enhance the sensitivity while using chemiluminescence(CL)intensity as signal readout.We realized simultaneous detection of C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT),and interleukin-6(IL-6)on the detection platform and evaluated the sensitivity,linear range,selectivity,and repeatability.Finally,we finished detecting 15 samples from volunteers and compared the results with commercial ELISA kits.Results:Detection of CRP,PCT,and IL-6 exhibited good linear relationships between CL intensities and concentrations in the range of 1.25–40μg/ml,0.4–12.8 ng/ml,and 50–1600 pg/ml,respectively.The limit of detection of CRP,PCT,and IL-6 were 0.54μg/ml,0.11 ng/ml,and 16.25 pg/ml,respectively.WMC-MDP is capable of good adequate selectivity and repeatability.The whole detection procedure takes only 22 min that meets the requirements of a POC device.Results of 15 samples from volunteers were consistent with the results detected by commercial ELISA kits.Conclusions:WMC-MDP allows simultaneous,rapid,and sensitive detection of CRP,PCT,and IL-6 with satisfactory selectivity and repeatability,requiring minimal manipulation.However,WMC-MDP takes advantage of being a microfluidic device showing the coefficients of variation less than 10%enabling WMC-MDP to be a type of point-of-care testing(POCT).Therefore,WMC-MDP provides a promising alternative to POCT of multiple biomarkers.We believe the practical application of WMC-MDP in militarized fields will revolutionize infection diagnosis for soldiers.

This study explores the potentials of employing an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system with variable inlet guide vanes (VIV) turbine geometry designed on a GT-Suite platform for effective exhaust heat recovery (EHR) application onboard passenger vehicles. The ORC model simulation was based on vehicle speed mode using R245fa as working fluid to assess the thermal performance of the ORC system when utilizing modified turbine geometry. Interestingly, the model achieved a very improved performance in contrast to the model without a modified turbine configuration. The results revealed the average 2.32 kW ORC net output, 4.93% thermal efficiency, 6.1% mechanical efficiency, and 5.0% improved brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) for the developed model. As determined by the performance indicators, these promising results from the model study show the prospect of EHR technology application in the transportation sector for reduction in exhaust emissions and fuel savings.

Influence of long and short guide vanes on hydraulic performance of water-jet pump

Different guide vane structures will affect the flow inside the pump,and then affect the transformation of the pressure energy and kinetic energy,and change the velocity distribution of the pump outlet.In order to study the influence of long and short guide vanes on the water-jet pump,on the basis of conventional design,eight schemes of guide vane with different vertical heights were designed in the method of computational fluid dynamics for numerical calculation,the performance curve of water-jet pumps with different long and short guide vanes was obtained,and finally the influence of different guide vanes on hydraulic performance and internal flow was analyzed.The results show that all of schemes reducing the height of blade can improve the head and efficiency.In the schemes reducing the height on the shroud,the guide vanes that the height of the blade is equal to the height difference between hub and shroud in impeller have the highest head and efficiency.In all schemes decreasing the blade height,with the increase of the height difference,the velocity increases gradually and the distribution of turbulence kinetic energy becomes more reasonable in the guide vane outlet.The schemes reducing the height on the hub have more reasonable distribution of velocity and turbulence kinetic energy according to schemes reducing the height on the shroud.The guide vanes of long and short blades can be used to stagger the position of the diffusion flow generated by adjacent blades,which can reduce the effect of the velocity circulation and make the flow of the outlet position more stable.

针对变弯度导叶尾迹激励引起的转子叶片共振,基于谐响应模态叠加法对风扇转子进行强迫振动分析,研究了不同铰接位置的变弯度导叶对风扇气动性能及其振动特性的影响。结果表明,随着铰接位置向尾缘移动,风扇转子流量、压比和效率增加,稳定裕度降低,主要影响下游转子叶根部位的进气角度。在气动激励方面,随着铰接位置后移,转子叶片表面的压力幅值增大,相位变化剧烈,通过将非定常气动力转换到模态空间中,可以看到叶片所受模态气动力在铰接位置为35%C (C为轴向弦长)的情况下达到最大值,后呈现先减小后增加的规律,这与振动响应的变化规律一致。铰接位置对所关注的高阶局部模态的气动阻尼影响较小,最大差异为0.046%。在振动响应方面,转子叶片的振动应力随铰接位置剧烈改变,且为非单调变化。在设计位置处叶片的振动应力最小,在35%C处振动应力达到设计位置的15倍。对于本文所研究的模型及工况,最优铰接位置为45%C,与仅考虑气动性能的25%C不同。因此在变弯度导叶设计时,需要考虑其对叶片振动特性的影响。
