In order to develop stamping well pump with high efficiency, 4SP14 stainless steel stamping well pump was set as an example. Combined with the features of stamping technology, this research was taken on raising the efficiency of stamping well pump, using hydraulic design of impeller and CFD and regression test method. The experiment was designed with four factors including impeller inlet angle Δβ1, impeller outlet angle β2, and impeller outlet width b2 and inlet width of guide vane B3. 30 groups of programs were designed according to CCD central composite test method. The whole flow field of well pump at the operating point was simulated by FLUENT using the standard k-ε model, SIMPLE algorithm, first-order upwind scheme. 30 group of efficiency were obtained. Use regression equation to fit the function relationship between the efficiency value and each factor. Through the analysis of the regression equation, the optimal combination of geometric parameters can be found as inlet angle 4º, outlet angle 27.5º, outlet width 9.5mm and inlet width of guide vane 11.5mm. After manufactured and tested according to the above geometric parameters, the efficiency of the optimal model pump reaches 60.28%, which reaches the international advanced level.

This paper presents an investigation of external flow characteristics and pressure fluctuation of a submersible tubular pumping system by using a combination of numerical simulation and experimental methods. The steady numerical simulation is used to predicted the hydraulic performance of the pumping system, and the unsteady calculation is adopted to simulate the pressure fluctuation in different components of a submersible tubular pumping system. A test bench for a model test and pressure pulsation measurement is built to validate the numerical simulation. The results show that the performance curves of the calculation and experiment are in agreement with each other, especially in the high efficiency area, and the deviation is minor under small discharge and large discharge conditions. The pressure pulsation distributions of different flow components, such as the impeller outlet, middle of the guide vane, and guide vane outlet and bulb unit, are basically the same as the measurement data. For the monitoring points on the impeller and the wall of the guide vane especially, the main frequency and its amplitude matching degree are higher, while the pressure pulsation values on the wall of the bulb unit are quite different. The blade passing frequency and its multiples are important parameters for analysis of pressure pulsation; the strongest pressure fluctuation intensity appears in the impeller outlet, which is mainly caused by the rotor–stator interaction. The farther the measuring point from the impeller, the less the pressure pulsation is affected by the blade frequency. The frequency amplitudes decrease from the impeller exit to the bulb unit.

Abstract Submersible pumps, which are the main means of bringing the ground liquid to the surface, are widely used in agricultural irrigation, petroleum industry, geothermal fields, and similar applications. In most applications, submersible pumps are the main energy inputs of the operating process. Therefore, a small improvement in submersible pump efficiency will significantly reduce the operating cost of the system. The motivation and focus of this study are to experimentally and numerically investigate the effect of the geometric parameters of the submersible pump on the efficiency of the pump. The submersible pump has a design in the form of the serial connection of the stages including the impeller and the diffuser and enters the multi-stage pump category. All the impeller connected to a single shaft rotates at the same angular velocity. Despite the rotation of the impeller at a constant angular speed along with the pump, the flow structure at each stage shows large variations compared to other stages. These differences lead to the formation of a complex flow structure and thus to great difficulties in the experimental identification of the flow field along with the pump. Another difficulty in the experimental definition is that the measured values can show dramatic changes depending on many parameters such as fluid viscosity-temperature, impeller inlet-outlet angle, diffuser inlet-outlet angle, number of blades, the distance between stages, surface roughness. The current general trend is to solve the above-mentioned problems with numerical simulations verified by experimental data. This trend is a result of significant developments in computer capacities parallel to the development of numerical solution methods in recent years. This trend, or the method, has been followed throughout this study. Firstly, within the scope of this study, the performance in different stages of a selected industrial submersible pump was measured by the experimental. Following the measurements, the effects of two basic geometric parameters, such as impeller outlet width and impeller outlet angle on the pump performance were examined with CFD simulations verified by the experimental measurements. This small deviation indicates that the CFD simulation results are in perfect agreement with the experimental measurements. In the simulations performed, it is observed that the time-dependent variables have their size changed but the flow structure does not change. Another striking finding from the CFD simulations carried out is; it has been observed that while geometric arrangements have a partial effect on the flow structure along with the pump, they cause a difference in the critical values on the basic variables that define pump performance, such as pressure.

To improve the performance of the centrifugal pump with a vaned diffuser, the influence of impeller geometric parameters on external characteristics of the pump was investigated by Orthogonal Experimental Method (OEM) based on CFD. Blade outlet width b2, blade wrap angle φ, blade outlet angle β2, and blade number Z were selected as the main impeller geometric parameters and the orthogonal experiment of L9 (33*21), which contained 3 levels of the 3 factors and 2 levels of one factor, was done in this study. Three-dimensional steady simulations were conducted by solving the RANS equations in the design procedure with SST k-ω turbulence model, and about 5.3 million structured grids for the whole calculation domains were used. The experimental results were justified by the variance analysis method. The inner flow of the pump was also analyzed in order to obtain the flow behaviors that can affect the pump performance. The results showed that the blade outlet angle β2 had the greatest influence on the efficiency and power. The high efficiency area of the optimal impeller is wider. The final optimized impeller accomplished better pump performance, which meet the design requirements. The velocity distribution in the optimized impeller is more regular and the area of the high turbulence kinetic energy is smaller in the optimal impeller.

This paper presents the matching characteristics of impellers and guide vanes of high capacity and pressure seawater desalination pumps by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The single-stage pump is numerically calculated, and its external characteristics are consistent with the test results of model pump. Taking this scheme as a prototype, the research is carried out from three aspects: (i) the impeller blade outlet width; (ii) the number of impeller and guide vane blades; and (iii) the area ratio of impeller outlet to guide vane inlet. The results indicate that the blade outlet width significantly affects the pump head and efficiency. Appropriately increasing the number of guide vane blades or changing the number of impeller blades can improve efficiency and expand the high-efficiency area. Additionally, increasing the throat area of the guide vane has the opposite effect on the large flow and small flow area of the pump. An optimized hydraulic model design scheme is obtained.

The application of line-start permanent magnet synchronous motors (LSPMSMs) is rapidly spreading due to their advantages of high efficiency, high operational power factor, being self-starting, rendering them as highly needed in many applications in recent years. Although there have been standard methods for the identification of parameters of synchronous and induction machines, most of them do not apply to LSPMSMs. This paper presents a study and analysis of different parameter identification methods for interior mount LSPMSM. Experimental tests have been performed in the laboratory on a 1-hp interior mount LSPMSM. The measurements have been validated by investigating the performance of the machine under different operating conditions using a developed qd0 mathematical model and an experimental setup. The dynamic and steady-state performance analyses have been performed using the determined parameters. It is found that the experimental results are close to the mathematical model results, confirming the accuracy of the studied test methods. Therefore, the output of this study will help in selecting the proper test method for LSPMSM.

There is a growing interest in laser radioactive decontamination of metal surfaces. It offers advantages over conventional methods: improved safety, reduction of secondary waste, reduced waste volume, acceptable cost. The main mechanism of cleaning by lasers is ablation. Apulsed TEACO2 laser was used in this work for surface cleaning in order to show that ablation of metal surfaces is possible even at relatively low pulse energies, and to suggest that it could be competitive with other lasers because of much higher energy efficiencies. A brief theoretical analysis was made before the experiments. The laser beam was focused using a KBr-lens onto a surface contaminated with 137 Cs (b-, t1/2 = 30.17 y). Three different metals were used: stainless steel, copper and aluminium. The ablated material was pumped out in an air atmosphere and transferred to a filter. The presence of activity on the filter was shown by a germanium detector-multichannel analyzer. The activity levels were measured by a GM counter. The calculated decontamination factors and collection factors showed that ablation occurs with a relatively high efficiency of decontamination. This investigation suggests that decontamination using a CO2 laser should be seriously considered.
