However, the current optimization works of centrifugal pump are mostly focusing on hydraulic efficiency only, which may result in poor cavitation performance. Therefore, it is necessary to find an appropriate solution to improve cavitation performance with acceptable efficiency. In this paper, to improve the cavitation performance of a centrifugal pump with a vaned diffuser, the influence of impeller geometric parameters on the cavitation of the pump is investigated using the orthogonal design of experiment (DOE) based on computational fluid dynamics. The impeller inlet diameter D1, inlet incidence angle Aft, and blade wrap angle ~0 are selected as the main impeller geometric parameters and the orthogonal experiment of L9(3"3) is performed. Three-dimensional steady simulations for cavitation are conducted by using constant gas mass fraction model with second-order upwind, and the predicated cavitation performance is validated by laboratory experiment. The optimization results are obtained by the range analysis method to improve cavitation performance without obvious decreasing the efficiency of the centrifugal pump. The internal flow of the pump is analyzed in order to identify the flow behavior that can affect cavitation performance. The results show that D1 has the greatest influence on the pump cavitation and the final optimized impeller provides better flow distribution at blade leading edge. The final optimized impeller accomplishes better cavitation and hydraulic performance and the NPSHR decreases by 0.63m compared with the original one. The presented work supplies a feasible route in engineering practice to optimize a centrifugal pump impeller for better cavitation performance.展开更多

An orthogonal genetic algorithm is developed for solving the binary linear implicit programming problem based on the orthogonal design. The orthogonal design with the factor analysis, an experimental design method is applied to the genetic algorithm to make the algorithm more robust, statistical y sound and quickly convergent. A crossover operator formed by the orthogonal array and the factor analysis is presented. First, this crossover operator can generate a smal but representative sample of points as offspring. After al of the better genes of these offspring are selected, a best combination among these offspring is then generated. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

The results showed that the most important factor for tomato seedling's root activity,hypocotyl length and internode length was nutrient salt concentration. In terms of effect on seedling index,substrate temperature should be reduced properly,to avoid excessive shading. It was primarily determined that the effects of three factors on the raising of strong tomato seedlings ranked as factor C,factor B and factor A from high to low; and the screened optimal seedling raising conditions were the rhizospheric temperature at( 3 + 1)℃,the shading rate of( 50 + 5) % and the EC value of( 5. 0 + 0. 5) mS/cm.展开更多

The structure of main phase in alloys belongs to PuNi_3-type with a space group R3m. Rare earth elements, as a substitute of lanthanum, have a significant effect on phase structure of alloys, elements of cerium and neodymium are beneficial to the formation of Gd_2Co_7-type phase with a space group P 6_3/mmc. Rare earth elements can decrease the unit cell volume of main phase of alloys dramatically, and increase the axis ratio. The results of electrochemical experiment showed that the discharge capacity of alloy electrodes ranged from 342.97 to 380.68 mAh·g -1, and elements of cerium and neodymium can reduce the discharge capacity of alloy electrodes significantly. Compared to the electrode of La_2MgNi_9 alloy, the substitution of lanthanum by rare earth elements did not improve the cyclic stability of alloy electrodes due to the anisotropic structure change of unit cell. While rare-earth elements can improve the high rate dischargeability of alloy electrodes, the high rate dischargeability of alloy electrodes could reach the maximum when the unit cell volume of PuNi_3-type structure was about 0532 nm.展开更多

The suitable parameters for preparing the related polymer are presented. The polymer was characterized by IRspectrum, 1HNMRspectrum and Raman spectrum, etc.展开更多
