The microstructure and morphology were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FSEM). The results show that the addition of GO improves the microscopic interaction during the wet forming process, which improves the macro properties of the gasket material. The enhancement can be ascribe to the crumpled morphology of GO and the presence of many oxygen-containing functional groups, which enhance the microscopic mechanical interlocking and interfacial interactions of the composite gasket material.","PeriodicalId":38576,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fluid Machinery and Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49414778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reduced model consists of a standalone draft tube domain of the Francis-99 model turbine. Numerical studies performed in the past on nearly complete hydro-turbine models (inclusive of the spiral casing, distributor domains, runner, and draft tube) reportedly consist of a large number of computational grids. This may increase the computational costs and data storage required to perform numerical analysis, which could be a setback for future research on new design concepts and optimization study of the draft tube domain. The reduced model was developed by mapping the phase averaged axial, radial, and tangential velocity profiles from the runner exit to the inlet of the standalone draft tube domain. Additionally, turbulent kinetic energy (k) and turbulent eddy dissipation (ε) variables were also considered for better flow prediction inside the draft tube domain. Two methods for mapping inlet boundary conditions were considered in the present study. In the first method, the entire planar profile of the runner-draft tube interface was considered. In the second method, the variables along a radial profile at the runner exit were considered with an axissymmetric flow assumption over the entire draft tube inlet plane. The numerical results obtained from the Francis-99 reduced model turbine were validated against the numerical model of the NVKS Francis-99 model turbine (with available structured mesh) that was also analysed using the passage flow numerical technique and available experimental results. The results were found to be in reasonable agreement, with each other. The present study could be useful for the future mitigation study of rotating vortex rope by modifying the draft tube domain.","PeriodicalId":38576,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fluid Machinery and Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46024068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a double shell segmental multistage pump is taken as the research object. The hydraulic performance and axial force performance are set as the optimization objectives, and the performance data are obtained by numerical simulation with FLUENT software. The BP neural network is used to establish the prediction model of structural parameters of the balance system, hydraulic performance and residual axial force performance, and it is used as the adaptive value evaluation model of genetic algorithm to solve the optimal value in the sample space. The results show that the radial clearance of the balance drum and the balance tube orifice flowmeter, the axial width of the balance cavity are the significant factors affecting the hydraulic performance and axial force performance of the multistage pump. When the radial clearance of the balance drum is 0.1mm, the clearance of the orifice flowmeter is 1.95mm, and the axial width of the balance cavity is 55mm, the multi-stage pump has the best hydraulic performance and the smallest residual axial force. The vortex band in the balance cavity can increase the amount of the fluid spin and enhance the axial force balancing capacity of the balance drum. The greater the area occupied by the negative high-rotation fluid in the balance cavity, the stronger the ability of the balance drum to balance the axial force. The test results show that compared with the prototype multistage pump, at nominal flow rate, the head and efficiency of the optimized model are increased by 0.71% and 1.63% respectively, and the bearing temperature and vibration speed of the multi-stage pump are significantly reduced.","PeriodicalId":38576,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fluid Machinery and Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47879958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the cavitation damage near the outlet relief groove could directly decrease serve life and efficiency of the roller vane pump. In this paper, the mechanism of the cavitation is discussed, especially the cavitation damage near the tip of the relief groove. The computational fluid dynamics simulation method (CFD) based on dynamic meshing technique and user defined function (UDF) is applied to calculate flow dynamics and multi-phase flow characteristics, especially the flows inside the fluid film between the stator and valve plate. The simulated results show that the cavitation region is the same with the experiment one, and the cavitation inside the fluid film is caused by the shear action of the stator and valve plate. The negative pressure region near the relief groove has an extreme low pressure at 0.08 MPa, and the maximum flow velocity is 99.3 m/s. Besides, the cavitation region near the relief groove has the highest gas volume fraction of 2.23% and the lowest density of 560 kg/m3. Furthermore, the reason why cavitation happened at this position in a roller vane pump is analyzed by theoretical analysis.","PeriodicalId":38576,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fluid Machinery and Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46146938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study analyzes 3 different blades by using the computational fluid dynamics method. The difference between the three blades is the gap between the blades. The first blade is designed with gaps, the second blade is without gaps, and the third blade is designed with overlap gaps. Based on the numerical results, it is shown that the gap on blades of propeller openflume turbine affects the performance of turbine with the overlap turbine has a better performance than the gap and no-gap blade. The overlap blades generate 9.48 Watts power and 8.8% efficiency at 202 rpm.","PeriodicalId":38576,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fluid Machinery and Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43855557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
