A high specific speed centrifugal pump is used in the situation of large flow and low head. Centrifugal pump parameters need to be optimized in order to raise its head and efficiency under off-design conditions. In this study, the orthogonal experiment design method is adopted to optimize the performance of centrifugal pump basing on three parameters, namely, blade outlet width b2, blade outlet angle β2 and blade wrap angle φ. First, the three-dimensional model of the centrifugal pump is established by CFturbo and SolidWorks. Then nine different schemes are designed by using orthogonal table, and numerical simulation is carried out in CFX15.0. The final optimized combination of parameters is b2 = 24 mm, β2 = 24°, φ = 112°. Under the design condition, the head and efficiency of the optimized centrifugal pump are appropriately improved, the increments of which are 0.74 m and 0.48%, respectively. However, the efficiency considerably increases at high flow rates, with an increase of 6.9% at 1.5 Qd. The anti-cavitation performance of the optimized centrifugal pump is also better than the original pump. The results in this paper can provide references for parameter selection (b2, β2, φ) in the centrifugal pump design.

In this study, the analysis of cutting forces on medium carbon AISI 1050—to which different spheroidization heat treatments were applied—was conducted by the mixed-level Taguchi orthogonal experiment design method. In the experiments, besides the parameters of feed rate, depth of cut and cutting speed having effect on cutting forces as a factor in orthogonal design, the spheroidization time and temperature parameters were also used. By the performed orthogonal experiment design method, the values of cutting forces were estimated using the five-factor, two- and three-leveled Taguchi L36 (22 × 33) mixed orthogonal experiment design method. The effectiveness of the machining parameters on the cutting force was revealed by performing analysis of variance test. Moreover, the effectiveness rates of the parameters were also determined in the study as per the signal noise rates. Consequently, it has been observed that the feed rate is more effective on the cutting forces compared to other parameters.

Interlayer is one of the major factors which results in the heterogeneity of reservoir, and it is the important content of reservoir fine characterization. In this paper, taking WZ oilfield as an example, the object-based simulation method is used to characterize the spatial distribution regularity of calcareous intercalation and sand-stone, design the experiment scheme through the orthogonal experiment design method and analysis the factors that influence the distribution of interlayer. Results showed that the object-based simulation method can characterize the shape of calcareous intercalation very well, and the orthogonal experiment design can distinguish the influence of various factors.

In this paper, an orthogonal experiment design method has been used to optimize the resistance microwelding (RMW) parameters for the fine copper wire and SUS304 stainless steel thin sheet welds. A L25(56) orthogonal array for three factors (welding current, weld time and electrode force) with five levels was used. Joint breaking force (JBF) and surface appearance were selected as the index of evaluation. The results show that welding current was the most influencing parameter on both joint strength and surface appearance, and weld time had the next most significant effect. The orthogonal experiment design method was proved to be a promising technique to obtain the optimum conditions for RMW of fine copper wire.

Filled the N330 carbon black, silica T80 carbon black and Al powder and Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticles, the rubber composites on multi-component electromagnetic fillers were prepared according to orthogonal experiment analysis, and the preliminary experiment conclusions of the filler prescription designs were given; Based on the experiment design, the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the rubber composite were tested, and the testing results were analyzed by using variance analysis. Thus, the paper shows that the effects of N330 on rubber mechanical properties are significant, and the effects of Al powder on the rubber thermal conductivity are significant. Moreover, it is highly emphasized in this paper that the orthogonal experiment design must be carefully explored before the tests are executed.

In order to optimize the design method and improve the performance of hydraulic retarder, the numerical simulation of multi-field coupling of heat, fluid and solid is carried out to hydraulic retarder, based on the numerical computation and algorithm of heat-fluid coupling and fluid-solid coupling. The computation models of heat-fluid coupling and fluid-solid coupling of hydraulic retarder are created. The three dimensional model of hydraulic retarder is established based on CATIA software, and the whole flow passage model of hydraulic retarder is extracted on the basis of the three dimensional model established. Based on the CFD calculation and the finite element numerical simulation, the temperature field, stress field, deformation and stress state are analysised to hydraulic retarder in the state of whole filling when the rotate speed is 1600 r/min. In consideration of rotating centrifugal force, thermal stress and air exciting vibration force of blade surface, by using the sequential coupling method, the flow field characteristics of hydraulic retarder and dynamic characteristics of blade structure are analysised and researched based on multi-field coupling of heat, fluid and solid. These provide the theoretical foundation and references for parametric design of hydraulic retarder.
