For plastic processing extruders with grooved feed sections, the design of the feed section by means of analytical calculation models can be useful to reduce experimental costs. However, these models include assumptions and simplifications that can significantly decrease the prediction accuracy of the throughput due to complex flow behavior. In this paper, the accuracy of analytical modeling for calculating the throughput in a grooved barrel extruder is verified based on a statistical design of experiments. A special focus is placed on the assumptions made in the analytics of a backpressure-independent throughput, the assumption of a block flow and the differentiation of the solids conveying into different conveying cases. Simulative throughput tests with numerical simulation software using the discrete element method, as well as experimental throughput tests, serve as a benchmark. Overall, the analytical modeling already shows a very good calculation accuracy. Nevertheless, there are some outliers that lead to larger deviations in the throughput. The model predominantly overestimates the throughputs, whereby the origin of these deviations is often in the conveying angle calculation. Therefore, a regression-based correction factor for calculating the conveying angle is developed and implemented.

Using an integral mathematical model of a fire considering the assumptions typical of a starting stage of a fire, analytical dependencies were obtained for determining the time of reaching a critical value of the density of a smoke screen in a premises with a fire epicenter and adjoining premises. By means of analytical formulas for determining critical evacuation time intervals based on visibility loss, table values for different parameters that are included in the original equations were obtained. Simple engineering analytical solutions that describe the dynamics of smoke formation in premises in case of a fire when used in a certain combination are presented. The obtained dependencies allow one to identify the critical time of evacuation with no use of special PC software as well as to obtain original data without calculating an anti-smoke ventilation system.

In this paper, a single-stage pump with diffuser vanes of different outlet diameters has been investigated both numerically and experimentally. The influence of the diffuser vane outlet diameter on pump hydraulic performance and on the radial force of the impeller is explored. Pumps equipped with three different diffusers but with impellers and volutes of the same parameters were simulated by 3D Navier-Stokes solver ANSYS-FLUENT in order to study the effect of the outlet diameter of vaned diffuser on performance of the centrifugal pump. Structured grids of high quality were applied on the whole computational domain. Experimental results were acquired by prototype experiments and were then compared with the numerical results. Both experimental and numerical results show that the performance of a pump with a diffuser of smaller outlet diameter is better than of bigger outlet diameter under all operating conditions. The radial force imposed on the impeller obtained by unsteady numerical simulation was analyzed. The results also indicated that an appropriate decrease in the outlet diameter of the diffuser vane could increase the radial force.

The universal NC program was inefficient for machining centrifugal pump vanes and a new tool-path generation method along section lines was proposed in this paper. After analyzing curve characteristics of centrifugal pump vanes, the mathematical model for calculating cutting step-lengths and determining the next tool contact parameter ui+1 through step estimating method was put forward. Furthermore, a new iterative algorithm was implemented, along with its terminal condition simplified. The proposed algorithm provided a new idea for developing special NC program of impellers.

Purpose To analyze the work principle and capacity of energy conversion in each segment of profile lines, the energy transfer from impeller to transmission medium is separated into head coefficient and load coefficient to analyze the energy transfer process. The concepts of airfoil lift coefficient and drag coefficient are used; the third manifestation of the Euler equations is used as well. Design/methodology/approach The numerical simulation of energy conversion mechanism based on load criteria of vane airfoil has been established in screw centrifugal pump to explain its energy conversion mechanism in an impeller. Upon this basis, the velocity and pressure along the entire blade are investigated through the numerical simulation of internal solid–liquid flow in the pump. The energy conversion process under load criteria in the blade airfoil has also been obtained. Findings The research suggests that the mathematical model of energy conversion mechanism based on the load criteria of the vane airfoil is reliable in the screw centrifugal pump. The screw centrifugal blade has twice or even several times the wrap angle than the ordinary centrifugal blade. It is a large wrap angle that forms the unique flow channel which lays the foundation for solid particles to pass smoothly and for soft energy conversion. At the same time, load distribution along the profile line on the long-screw centrifugal blade is an important factor affecting the energy conversion efficiency of the impeller. Originality/value The quantitative analysis method of energy in the screw centrifugal pump can help the pump designer improve certain features of the pump and shorten the research cycle.

An analytical modeling approach for ball screw feed drives is proposed to predict the dynamic behavior of the feeding carriage of a spindle. Mainly considering the rigidity of linear guide modules, a ball-screw-feeding spindle is modeled by a mass-spring system. The contact stiffness of rolling interfaces in linear guide modules is accurately calculated according to the Hertzian theory. Next, a mathematical model is derived using the Lagrange method. The presented model is verified by conducting modal experiments. It is found that the simulated results correspond closely with the experimental data. In order to show the applicability of the proposed mathematical model, parameter-dependent dynamics of the feeding carriage of the spindle is investigated. The work will contribute to the vibration prediction of spindles.

The article is devoted to the main aspects of the development of a mathematical model of the human respiratory system taking into account the effects of environmental factors. The proposed model is a submodel of "meso-level" multilayered mathematical model of the evolution of functional disorders of the human body. The conceptual and mathematical formulations of the problem are discussed. The breathing is considered as a set of synchronized processes of gas dynamics, deformation of the porous medium and diffusion. The results of the calculation of the air flow characteristics during quiet breathing and forced breath in the first four generations of large airways were obtained by using software ANSYS Fluent. Further development of the model involves the joint problem solving of changes in lung configuration and in gasdynamic processes in the human airway.

This paper provided a comparative study between linear and nonlinear controllers of a solar photovoltaic (PV) water pumping system using an induction motor and a centrifugal pump. For linear controller, classical Perturb and Observe was selected to ensure the operation of the PV system at the maximum power point (MPP) and is combined with Indirect Rotor Field Oriented Control (IRFOC) based on a conventional proportional integral speed regulator chosen to control and to optimize the rotor speed. In second and third controllers, Backstepping and first order sliding mode controls were proposed for controlling the whole system. To regulate and optimize rotor speed in the nonlinear controller, all considered control techniques were combined with IRFOC in order to establish easy control laws. In addition, MPP was tracked by acting on the DC-DC converter and using its mathematical model for developing control laws. Maximum delivered power was used as reference signal for optimizing actual rotor speed. The controlled system is operated without mechanical sensors. Estimators of rotor speed and load torque were proposed based on the mathematical model of induction motor and centrifugal pump and using only available output measurements.. Simulation results were investigated and the effectiveness of the nonlinear proposed strategies.

It is clear that the fiber-to-mortar bond behavior plays a major role on the performance of Textile Reinforced Mortars (TRMs) used for strengthening of existing structures. This aspect, however, has been only the subject of few studies and require further attention.This paper presents an analytical model for extraction of the textile-to-‎mortar bond-slip laws from pull-out tests. The ‎objective is to ‎characterize the parameters that ‎influence the ‎pull-out behavior of TRM ‎systems. ‎In the formulation of the ‎pull-out model, a ‎modified approach ‎based ‎on a mathematical model by Naaman ‎is applied. Firstly, based on ‎the ‎experimental ‎results, a relationship between the bond shear stress and the ‎relative slip ‎along the fiber-mortar ‎interface is obtained. Then, based on the ‎shear stress-slip law, the ‎boundary conditions, equations ‎of equilibrium, and ‎the equation of ‎compatibility and hooke’s ‎law, the bond response ‎between ‎textile and mortar is predicted and modeled.
