Flow Pump

The results are presented of numerical and experimental research of fluid flow in the flow path of a torque flow pump with specific speed ns ;: 55. The 3D methods of CFD have been shown to allow for predicting energy characteristics of this type of pumps with a sufficient accuracy. According to the results of flow visualization the work process has been analysed and conclusions drawn to enhance TFP efficiency.

Relative Flow

Measurements in a mixed flow pump of non-dimensional specific speed k = 1.89 [ NS = 100 r/min (metric)] are analysed to give loss distribution and local hydraulic efficiencies at different flowrates and values of tip clearance. Fairly close agreement is obtained between the relative flow angles leaving the blading as predicted by simple deviation and slip models and derived from the measurements. The head developed is broken up into two parts: that contributed by Coriolis action and that associated with blade circulation. It is suggested that lift coefficients based on blade circulation are of limited value in selecting blade profiles. The variation of pump efficiency with tip clearance is greater than that reported for centrifugal pumps.

Wood Stoves

In Europe, especially in Poland, wood-fired stoves remain one of the most popular renewable household heating. The use of wood logs in small-scale units stoves are expected to increase substantially. The work proposes a comprehensive approach to modify the design of wood stoves with heating power up to 20 kW, including design works, simulations, and experimental research. The article also presents the numerical study of a combustion process including fluid flow, chemical combustion reaction, and heat exchange in the wood stove. The retrofit enhanced a more stable heat release from the wood stove, which increased efficiency and reduction of the harmful components of combustion.

Flow Pump

This paper presents the results of a study using coarse grids to analyze the flow in the impellers of an axial flow pump and a mixed flow pump. A commercial CFD code (FLOTRAN) is used to solve the 3-D Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes equations in a rotating cylindrical coordinate system. The standard k−ε turbulence model is used. The meshes for this study use 22,000 nodes and 40,000 nodes for the axial flow impeller, and 26,000 nodes for the mixed flow impeller. Both models are run on a SPARCstation 20. This is in contrast to typical analyses using in excess of 100,000 nodes. The smaller mesh size has advantages in the design environment. Stage design parameters for the axial flow impeller are, rotational speed 870 rpm, flow coefficient ϕ=0.13, head coefficient ψ=0.06, and specific speed 2.97 (8101 US). For the mixed flow impeller the parameters are, rotational speed 890 rpm, flow coefficient ϕ=0.116, head coefficient ψ=0.094, and specific speed 2.01 (5475 US). Evaluation of the models is based on a comparison of circumferentially averaged results to measured data for the same impeller. Comparisons to measured data include axial and tangential velocities, static pressure, and total pressure. A comparison between the coarse and fine meshes for the axial flow impeller is included. Results of this study show that the computational results closely match the shapes and magnitudes of the measured profiles, indicating that coarse CFD models can be used to accurately predict performance.
