Magnetically Levitated

The leakage of the pilot stage of the 2D valve mainly depends on the size of its initial opening. According to the Routh criterion, the pilot stage of the two-dimensional magnetically levitated servo-proportional valve (2D-MSP valve) needs to be designed to have certain positive values to increase the damping ratio to improve valve stability, which leads to the leakage flow representing a non-negligible power loss. In order to reduce leakage flow and achieve goal of energy saving, this paper presents a novel resonance stability criterion by considering nonlinear characteristics of the fluid dynamic system. First, the 2D-MSP valve is regarded as a three-way valve-controlled differential cylinder system. Based on the frequency response of the resonance state, the energy conservation method is used to solve the flow “backfilling” area, the motion equation of the cylinder piston (valve spool displacement) and the pressure waveform of the sensing chamber under different opening and pressure amplitude ratio. Then, the analytical expression of the resonance peak amplitude is obtained and the resonance stability criterion is deduced. The result is compared with the Routh stability criterion, which illustrates that the positive openings of the pilot stage can be reduced to one-third of the original value. The prototype valve is then designed and manufactured based on the resonance stability criterion. The dynamic and static characteristics under different system pressures are measured. Experimental results show that the prototype valve is an over-damped system without any overshoot, which has excellent working stability, and its static and dynamic performance can meet the demands of the industry servo-proportional control system. The research work validates the effectiveness of the proposed resonance stability criterion.

Air heat exchangers (HXs) are applicable in many industrial sectors because they offer a simple, reliable, and cost-effective cooling system. Additive manufacturing (AM) systems have significant potential in the construction of high-efficiency, lightweight HXs; however, HXs still mainly rely on conventional manufacturing (CM) systems such as milling, and brazing. This is due to the fact that little is known regarding the effects of AM on the performance of AM fabricated HXs. In this research, three air HXs comprising of a single fin fabricated from stainless steel 316 L using AM and CM methods—i.e., the HXs were fabricated by both direct metal printing and milling. To evaluate the fabricated HXs, microstructure images of the HXs were investigated, and the surface roughness of the samples was measured. Furthermore, an experimental test rig was designed and manufactured to conduct the experimental studies, and the thermal performance was investigated using four characteristics: heat transfer coefficient, Nusselt number, thermal fluid dynamic performance, and friction factor. The results showed that the manufacturing method has a considerable effect on the HX thermal performance. Furthermore, the surface roughness and distribution, and quantity of internal voids, which might be created during and after the printing process, affect the performance of HXs.

Dynamic Performance Analysis

The dynamic performance of continuous girder under the train in a series of speed is studied through examples, and the main conclusions are given in the following. The resonance mechanism of continuous girder is similar to simply supported beam. The vehicle wheel load forms regular moving load series, which induces periodical action and resonance of the bridge. The damping ratio of bridge itself has less effect on the amplitude at the loading stage, but significant effects appear when the load departs from the bridge. The count of continuous spans also has less impact on the dynamic coefficients, so three continuous spans can be adopted for calculation and analysis. Span and fundamental frequency have significant influence on dynamic coefficients of bridge structures. To extend the span of the bridge structure can reduce the dynamic coefficient while keeping its frequency invariant. The fundamental frequencies of different bridges are corresponding to certain resonant speeds, which calls for the attention in the design.

This paper presents the virtual machine tool environment Mori Seiki established for the evaluation of static, dynamic, and thermal performance of Mori Seiki machine tools. In this system environment, machining accuracy and quality are the main focus for each individual analysis discipline. The structural analysis uses the Finite Element Method (FEM) to monitor and optimize the static rigidity of the machine tool. Correlation between physical experiments and digital simulation is conducted to validate and optimize the static simulation accuracy. To accurately evaluate and effectively optimize dynamic performance of the machine tool in the virtual environment, the critical modal parameters such as damping and stiffness are calibrated based on experimental procedures which results in precise setup of the frequency response models. Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis model is built in the environment so that the thermal perspective of the machine tool is evaluated and thermal deformation is monitored. This paper demonstrates compatibility of the digital simulation with physical experiments and success in integrating theoretical simulation processes with practical Mori Seiki machine tool development.

Abstract In the present research work, effect of airfoil vortex generator on performance and stability of transonic compressor stage is investigated through CFD simulations. In turbomachines vortex generators are used to energize boundary and generated vortex is made to interact with tip leakage flow and secondary flow vortices formed in rotor and stator blade passage. In the present numerical investigation symmetrical airfoil vortex generator is placed on rotor casing surface close to leading edge, anticipating that vortex generated will be able to disturb tip leakage flow and its interaction with rotor passage core flow. Six different vortex generator configuration are investigated by varying distance between vortex generator trailing edge and rotor leading edge. Particular vortex generator configuration shows maximum improvement of stall margin and operating range by 5.5% and 76.75% respectively. Presence of vortex generator alters flow blockage by modifying flow field in rotor tip region and hence contributes to enhancement of stall margin. As a negative effect, interaction of vortex generator vortices and casing causes surface friction and high entropy generation. As a result compressor stage pressure ratio and efficiency decreases.

Dimensional Parameter

When using thermocouples directly connected to ultra-violet galvanometers for recording temperature transients, the low-voltage outputs necessitate the use of galvanometers with low natural frequencies. This puts a limitation on the overall dynamic performance. In a particular application, the user has to select the damping resistor for the galvanometer and the work describes how this is done so that the system is optimised for minimum integrated errors during a transient. The transient considered was of an exponential type which occurs frequently in practice and it is shown that the correct damping ratio and hence damping resistor for the galvanometer depends upon the non-dimensional parameter defined by the product of the natural frequency of the galvanometer and the time constant of the exponential. The results show that the usual value of damping ratio of 0·64 based on minimum sinusoidal distortion has to be modified for best dynamic performance. However, if the non-dimensional parameter is sufficiently large, higher values of damping can be used, which produce a large trace with acceptably small errors.

Pulsating Fluid

This paper presents the analytical modeling and simulation of an electromagnetic energy harvester (having linear behaviour) that generates power from pulsating fluid flow for pipeline condition monitoring systems. The modeled energy harvester is comprised of a cylindrical permanent magnet and a wound coil attached to a flexible membrane which oscillates due to the pulsating fluid flow in the pipe over which the prototype is considered to be mounted. In the harvester electrical energy is produced due to the relative motion between the coil and magnet. Based on the harvester’s architecture a lumped parameter model (single degree of freedom system) is developed and is simulated at different physical operational conditions. The simulation is performed at pressure amplitude of 625 Pa. When subjected to the operational frequency sweep, at the harvester’s resonant frequency (500 Hz) and damping ratio of 0.01, the devised model predicted the maximum open circuit voltage of 2.55 V and load voltage of 1.27 V. While operating under resonance, the maximum load voltage of 2.45 V is estimated at load resistance of 100 Ω. However, at an optimum load of 4.3 Ω, the simulation shows a production of 188151.2 μW power at a frequency of 500 Hz.

The Impact

Since the VLSI processors are increasing power in accordance with exponential law, cooling solutions for such as personal computers have been evolving for over a decade. Recent heat sinks are designed with high dense fins and low profile to adapt to a high heat flux source within a slim enclosure. To achieve such compact cooling solution, thin fin and small gap is desirable. In addition, the pumping power is also limited by the allowable narrow space for fans. Thus it is important to minimize the thermal resistance for given pumping power that we define the optimum. Due to the lack of literatures on topic of low profile and high dense fins experiments, an apparatus was specially built to measure the thermal and fluid dynamic performance at the same time. Since such a high dense fin arrangement requires extra space on the sides by manufacturing reasons, the impact of bypass flow needs to be considered. The experiments are carefully carried out and the results are precisely compared with numerical analysis. The numerical model aiming to find the optimum for given pumping power is discussed with extrapolating the data points. This report is concluded with the best configuration of plate fins of low profile heat sinks for a given fan performance.
