In this study, the using of unstandard gears and influence on the performance of gear pumps are studied. These influences include pulsation factor of flow rate, flow rate of pump and trapped volume between two meshing gears. Matlab software has been used to evaluate performance by modifying algorithm and deriving the equations of pump flow rate. The unstandard gear is used in the study undertaken with +0.3 Rack shift coefficient. Results indicated the using of unstandard gears increase flow rate and reduce the trapped volume and pulsation flow rate factor. It was concluded that the factor of pulsation flow rate reduces as increase of teeth number which leads to pulsation flow rate stabilization.","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":"49279359","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 combustion chamber is one of the three essential part of jet engines, together with compressor and turbine. Energy is generated when fuel is burned in the combustor. In the primary zone, the recirculation flow is of great importance to aerodynamic performance. Swirlers, fitted in the dome around the fuel injector, can alter the behavior of the recirculation flow and thus, impact combustion performance. The vortex behind a swirler can be easily controlled by changing the swirl angle. In addition, changing the vortex angle leads to a difference in mixing between fuel and air. This paper investigates the effects of swirler design, based on the swirl angle, on aerodynamic performance of an annular combustion chamber in cooling condition using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the SST turbulence model.","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":"43656416","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 formulas for calculating deformation were obtained, and the theoretical curve of change in deformation was determined. Then, the contour of deformation was obtained using software simulation. The calculated and simulated values of deformation of the flexible side plate, in three positions under four working pressures, were found to be close to one another, the relative error between them being less than 2%. Next, the formula for the calculation of oil film thickness was obtained, and the curve of the change in oil film thickness relative to the distance along the radial direction of the side plate was determined, considering the flexible side plate deformation. The oil film thickness for three flexible side plate positions were then tested through experiment. The calculated values of oil film thickness were also close to the tested values. Although there was a small difference, the relative error between them was less than 5% for the oil film thickness measured at its lowest point, which indicates the accuracy of the results obtained by the theoretical calculation.","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":"41438253","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 experimental investigation by the five-hole probe showed that the accumulations of the low energy fluid was seen around the corner part and the overturning flow due to the secondary flow existed for 14 deg. of stagger angle, whereas the accumulations of the low energy fluid were seen at around midspan for 10 deg. of stagger angle.

Yamaguchi","doi":"10.5293/IJFMS.2021.14.1.062","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5293/IJFMS.2021.14.1.062","url":null,"abstract":"The fundamental behaviors of deep surge frequencies in axial-flow compressors have come to be described as a rather simple framework for low pressure-ratio compressors, in terms of two essential reduced frequencies concerning resonance frequencies and surge frequencies, on the basis of numerical-experimental results. For high-pressure-ratio multi-stage compressors, however, the frequency behaviors over a wide range of compressor speeds tend to give drastic deviations from the simple framework, including abrupt changes and apparent irregularities. The cause was investigated here by numerical simulations on a nine-stage axial flow compressor. Generally, deep surge frequencies of high-pressure ratio compressors tend to lower gradually, from low speeds toward higher ones. At somewhat below the design speed, the frequencies tend to decrease precipitously, settling to some very low levels of values. The discontinuous drops in the frequencies are shown to result from occurrences of short-term incomplete surge recoveries in the stalling phase of surge. The phenomenon tends to elongate the duration of the stalled phase and the whole surge duration, resulting in the lowered surge frequency. The phenomenon is caused by the flow reversal of high-temperature air in the stalling phase of surge and the re-suction of the hot air in the unstalling phase. The degree of the peak temperature and the intensity of the interferences between the hot-air re-suction phenomenon and the intrinsic surge appear to affect significantly the additional short-term premature stalling of the compressor. It could be strongly related with the high average temperature due to the hot air re-suction, and the duration time of the suction. The complicated behaviors thus become qualitatively explainable, though only by examinations on numerical-simulation results.","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":"49440408","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}

A centrifugal pump was adopted as a fluid food pump in this research because it makes the stable continuous transportation of fluid food and the structure of the pump is simple compared to positive displacement pumps. The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of the blade number on the pump performance and internal flow to enrich the pump design data for low viscous fluid food. The centrifugal pump with an open impeller was used and six impellers having the different blade number were prepared. Performance test using an experimental apparatus was conducted and the numerical analysis was also carried out. In the numerical analysis, the commercial software ANSYS-CFX16.2 was used. The head, shaft power and efficiency obtained by the numerical analysis, are almost the same with the experimental results. The head and shaft power increase with the increase of the blade number. The shear rate, which is concerned to fluid food quality, is high near the inlet region of the blade-to-blade passage for all types of blades. The shear rate of each type of the blade is discussed based on the numerical analysis results and relations between the blade number and shear rate are clarified.","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":"48688764","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}

Among the instabilities, the cavitation surge at low flow rates is a very vital phenomenon that is known to be strongly associated with the occurrence of inlet back flow. The low inlet blade angle would be favorable for the suppression of inlet backflow through the reduction of blade loading at the inlet, while the inlet throat area should be kept large for better suction performance to minimize the flow blockage due to cavitation. In the present study, a splitter blade inducer is designed on the basis of the knowledge acquired by our previous CFD study conducted for the 2-D cascade and 3-D straight-hub inducer. Then the effectiveness of the splitter inducer is investigated by experiments and CFD. As a result, the inlet backflow and the cavitation surge are found to be suppressed in the splitter inducer, which is achieved by reducing the blade loading with low inlet blade angle. The suction performance is improved at high flow rates by relaxing the low pressure region with high relative velocity.","PeriodicalId":38576,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fluid Machinery and Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71121329","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}
