The Magnetic Field

The high-speed magnetic pump has the characteristic of zero leakage, small volume and high efficiency. In order to enhance the performance of high-speed magnetic pump and shorten the design period, the hydraulic components and magnetic coupling are designed on the basis of numerical simulation. The hydraulic components designed initially are applied by the design method of high-speed partial emission pump. The internal flow field of the pump is simulated with the FLUENT CFD software. The distributions of absolute velocity, relative velocity and total pressure of pump are gained. The inlet structure and geometry of the magnetic pump are modified based on the simulation results. The magnetic coupling is designed by using empirical factors. The magnetic field of the magnetic coupling is simulated with 2-D Magnetic Vector Potential (MVP) formula using the ANSYS software. The distributions of magnetic force line at origin, working situation and maximum magnetic rotating angle are obtained. The magnetic torque simulated value approaches the result calculated with the empirical formula. The test results of the improved magnetic pump show that the hydraulic performance and outline dimensions meet requirements. The method of design-simulation-improvement-test is successful.

Based on the design theory of liquid-solid two-phase flow centrifugal pump, a new type TLB600-700 desulphurization pump was designed with huge distortions blades design method and impeller inlet super long extension blades design method. Three-dimensional model of internal flow field in TLB600-700 desulphurization pump was built by software PROE5.0, and the three-dimensional unsteady numerical simulation of the internal flow field was calculated, which revealed that the rotor-stator interaction between rotating impeller and volute is the reason why unstable flow generated. Statics analysis was carried out on the impeller in the stationary flow state with the method of fluid-structure interaction, and results indicated that the impeller strength and stiffness meet the design requirements. External characteristic test results of TLB600-700 desulphurization pump showed that all parameters of desulphurization pump designed by innovative method meet design requirements; especially the pump efficiency was increased by 4.15% higher than Chinese national standard.

Blade Number

The research on a centrifugal pump of low specific speed with splitter blades was carried out in recent years by our group, is systematically introduced in this paper. The design method is summarized also. At the beginning, based on the former L9(34) orthogonal test, Particle Imagine Velocity (PIV) tests and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were carried out for several designs with different splitter blade length. Results show that for an impeller with splitter blades the “jet-wake” flow at the impeller outlet is improved, and the velocity distribution inside the impeller is more uniform. This explains that the impeller with splitter blades shows higher performance (especially in head and efficiency). Meanwhile, the numerical simulation results were compared with the test results, which confirm that, CFD technology can be used to observe inner flow distribution and forecast pump performance tendency. Later, a further L9(34) orthogonal test, which adopt the blade number as a new variable, was designed to explore the relationship between geometry parameters of splitter blade and pump performance, and corresponding CFD simulations for the flow field with volute were also done. From the test results the influence of the main design parameters on the hydraulic performance of a centrifugal pump and its reasonable value range are determined. The simulations forecasted pump performance show good consistency with that from tests at the rated point, and the simulated error at other flow rates were analyzed. Thirdly, in order to save research cost, numerical simulations were done for the full flow field including the cavity inside the volute and impeller. By analyzing the distribution law of blade torque and turbulent kinetic energy in the impeller, the value fetching principle for the splitter blade inlet diameter is presented as “the splitter blades torque should be positive”, and by analyzing the distribution of blades loading, the flow distribution rules and pump performance influenced by different splitter blades off-setting angles and inlet diameters were discovered. The disk friction loss, which consuming much energy in centrifugal pumps, was also forecasted at various operating conditions. The results were compared with that from empirical formulas, which show great accordance at the rated point, and the forecasted results at off-design points were analyzed also. Finally, the research results and the design method for the centrifugal pump with splitter blades, such as how to select splitter blade number, the off-setting angle, the inlet diameter and the deflection angle, were summarized.

This paper considers the electrophoretic motion of multiple spheres in an aqueous electrolyte solution in a straight rectangular microchannel, where the size of the channel is close to that of the particles. This is a complicated 3-D transient process where the electric field, the flow field and the particle motion are coupled together. The objective is to numerically investigate how one particle influences the electric field and the flow field surrounding the other particle and the particle moving velocity. It is also aimed to investigate and demonstrate that the effects of particle size and electrokinetic properties on particle moving velocity. Under the assumption of thin electrical double layers, the electroosmotic flow velocity is used to describe the flow in the inner region. The model governing the electric field and the flow field in the outer region and the particle motion is developed. A direct numerical simulation method using the finite element method is adopted to solve the model. The numerical results show that the presence of one particle influences the electric field and the flow field adjacent to the other particle and the particle motion, and that this influences weaken when the separation distance becomes bigger. The particle motion is dependent on its size, with the smaller particle moving a little faster. In addition, the zeta potential of particle has an effective influence on the particle motion. For a faster particle moving from behind a slower one, numerical results show that the faster moving particle will climb and then pass the slower moving particle then two particles’ centers are not located on a line parallel to the electric field.
