The Impact

Many systems with liquid ejectors and centrifugal pump are known. Often, jet pumps are used to provide a self-priming mode, as well as an acceptable pressure level for cavitation-free operation. The main disadvantage of such systems is the relatively low efficiency associated with the peculiarities of energy transfer in ejector. To increase efficiency double surface jet pump with driving and suction flow swirl (with circumferential component of velocity) is proposed. The active flow swirling is ensured by using of multi-nozzle tangential nozzle inlet and passive flow part by a special blade system. Combination of these factors makes it possible to improve the efficiency of energy conversion process. In comparison with the known design increases pump efficiency by 10 % – 15 %. Flow swirl also permits to reduce horizontal overall size by increasing the diffuser angle and reducing the mixing chamber length. These positive effects can be achieved by using methods and recommendations given in this paper. The paper also includes ANSYS CFX numerical simulation study results of double surface jet pump and analysis of the impact of nozzle position, length of the mixing chamber and other geometry parameters on pump performance. The results allow optimize the constructive solutions.

Two Jets

When two jets or streams of water moving with equal or unequal velocities meet at an angle and combine to form one common stream, the impact is usually accompanied by loss of energy, which may be large if the velocities are high. If the jets are free (exposed to air on every side), the pressures are unaltered by impact, and the loss may be readily calculated in terms of the initial velocities and angle of inclination, by an application of the equations of energy and of momentum. Where the streams are confined before and after impact—as, for example, where the streams outflowing from the impeller of a centrifugal pump impinge on the more slowly moving body of water in the volute, or where the two streams combine in the mixing chamber of a jet pump or injector,—both pressures and velocities are altered by the impact, and the available data are insufficient to enable the magnitude of the losses to be predetermined from a priori reasoning.

Abstract To further investigate and improve the cleaning ability of the cavitation nozzle, this paper proposes a new model that is based on the Helmholtz nozzle and with the quadratic equation curve as the outer contour of the cavitation chamber. First, the numerical simulation of the flow field in the nozzle chamber was conducted using FLUENT software to analyze and compare the impact of the curve parameters and Reynolds number on the cleaning effect. Next, the flow field was captured by a high-speed camera in order to study the cavitation cycle and evolution process. Then, experiments were performed to compare the cleaning effect of the new nozzle with that of the Helmholtz nozzle. The study results demonstrate that effective cavitation does not occur when the diameter of the cavitation chamber is too large. For the new nozzle, with the increase of the Reynolds number, the degree of cavitation in the chamber first increases and then decreases; the cleaning effect is much better than that of a traditional Helmholtz nozzle under the same conditions; the nozzle has the best cleaning effect for the stand-off distance of 300 mm.

The Impact

Centrifugal pumps (CP) are probably among the most often used machinery in industrial facilities as well as in common practice. Compared to other types of rotating pumps, CP yield higher efficiency. In aerospace application reducing the weight of the CP impeller has the advantage of reducing mechanical stresses and enable using the CP at high number of revolution. In order to minimize the impeller weight the requirements to study and develop the CP with semi-open impeller appears. Using this type of impeller results in clearance between the impeller blades and the casing which degrade the centrifugal pump performance. The impact of this side clearance has not been deeply investigated in open literature. The present paper is devoted to reveal more details about the impact of CP side clearance on its performance. This is done by numerically investigating the influence of the variation of the CP side clearance width (0:0.2 impeller width) on the CP performance parameters at different flow rates (0:5 Liter/s). These CP performance parameters include the pump head, efficiency, slip factor, blades loads and the internal flow structure. 3-D steady numerical simulation has been carried out using commercial software, ANSYS® CFX. The computational domain consists of four zones: inlet, side gab, impeller and volute with outlet. They are defined by means of the multi-reference frame technique. The impeller is situated in the rotating reference frame, while the inlet, side gab and outlet zones are in the fixed reference frame, and they are related to each other through the “frozen rotor” interface. The meshes of four computational domains are generated separately after performing mesh sensitivity analysis. The boundary conditions are set as total pressure at inlet and the mass flow at outlet. A no-slip condition is imposed at the wall boundary defined at the blade and casing. A turbulent, incompressible flow solver has been adapted using SST k–ω turbulent model. The numerical simulation has been compared with own experimental results and a published empirical formulas to verify the numerical solution. The CFD results show an acceptable agreement with the results of the experimental work and the empirical formulas. It has been shown that the impeller side clearance have a great regression effect on the centrifugal pump performance. An explanation to the performance regression has been proposed based on the flow field feature. Performance regression could be attributed to the drop in the pressure difference between the impeller inlet and outlet. And the redistribution of the velocity inside the impeller channel and the side clearance.

To explore the screw centrifugal pump performance change, and the impact of solid-liquid two-phase flow on the screw centrifugal pump, the internal flow of type 150×100LN-32 centrifugal pump is used as the research object. Mixture multiphase flow model, standard k-ε turbulence model and the sliding mesh technique are used to carry out the unsteady numerical simulation to describe internal flow field in screw centrifugal pump. By Setting the monitoring point to get the pressure pulsation characteristics and predict the changes in the energy performance. Open laboratory bench tests are carried out to verify the reliability of the numerical methods. Based on this, the impact of the two-phase flow on the screw centrifugal pump is analyzed. The results indicate that the head-flow curve presents a hump-shaped with the increasing of the flow. The maximum of efficiency appears. At the same time, the change of the volume concentration of the solid phase has little effect on the energy performance of screw centrifugal pump. But at different times, the head decreases and the power increases with the increasing of the concentration.

Electromobility is a new approach to the reduction of CO2 emissions and the deceleration of global warming. Its environmental impacts are often compared to traditional mobility solutions based on gasoline or diesel engines. The comparison pertains mostly to the single life cycle of a battery. The impact of multiple life cycles remains an important, and yet unanswered, question. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate advances of 2nd life applications for lithium ion batteries from electric vehicles based on their energy demand. Therefore, it highlights the limitations of a conventional life cycle analysis (LCA) and presents a supplementary method of analysis by providing the design and results of a meta study on the environmental impact of lithium ion batteries. The study focuses on energy demand, and investigates its total impact for different cases considering 2nd life applications such as (C1) material recycling, (C2) repurposing and (C3) reuse. Required reprocessing methods such as remanufacturing of batteries lie at the basis of these 2nd life applications. Batteries are used in their 2nd lives for stationary energy storage (C2, repurpose) and electric vehicles (C3, reuse). The study results confirm that both of these 2nd life applications require less energy than the recycling of batteries at the end of their first life and the production of new batteries. The paper concludes by identifying future research areas in order to generate precise forecasts for 2nd life applications and their industrial dissemination.
