In previous studies we have considered several types of positive displacement rotary pumps and deeply analyzed the generation of the flow rate and the design limits. This has been done in order to evaluate the main performance indexes; one of which, the flow rate irregularity, is related to the possibility that the pump becomes a source of vibration and noise. A second index is the specific flow rate, related to the delivery capacity of the pump. In this paper, following our previous researches, we analyzed internal involute gear pumps and internal lobe pumps, that have similar operations but different performances. The design parameters and the way to optimize the performances are proposed for both cases. Finally a comparison is made between the two types of pumps with optimum design parameters.

In this paper, following our previous researches, we analyze internal involute gear pumps and internal lobe pumps, that have similar way to operate but different performances. The design parameters and the way to optimize the performances are summarized for both cases. Finally a comparison between the two types of pumps is proposed, along with some optimum design cases.

The subject of this paper is the theoretical analysis of the internal lobe pump which is a particular type of positive displacement rotary pump. The main components of the pump are the rotors: usually the outer one is characterised by lobes with circular shape, while the inner rotor profile is determined as conjugate to the other. For this reason the first topic presented here is the definition of the geometry of the rotors starting from the design parameters. The choice of these parameters is subject to some limitations in order to avoid inner rotor undercutting and to limit the pressure angle between the rotors. Now we will consider the design optimisation. The first step is the determination of the instantaneous flow rate as a function of the design parameters. This allows us to calculate two performance indexes commonly used for the study of positive displacement pumps: the flow rate irregularity and the specific flow rate. These indexes are used to optimise the design of the pump and to obtain the sets of optimum design parameters. Finally further considerations are presented regarding the calculation and the use of other performance indexes, the specific slipping and the rotor curvature, which are particularly suitable for giving more elements for the analysis of this case.

Abstract This paper analyses a particular type of rotary positive-displacement pumps with lobes having epitrochoidal flanks, whose distinctive feature is that of providing a strictly constant geometric instantaneous flow rate. The pump design is analysed from geometric and kinematical points of view. Then the behavior of this type of lobe pump is compared with that of involute gear pumps.

Test-fires to determine fire-extinguishers’ efficiency for extinguishing B class fires are conducted by operators equipped with working clothes, which does not comply with the requirements of physical modelling. This is why the ranks of extinguished modelled seats are significantly overestimated. The quantitative results of fire seats’ extinguishing can be comparatively evaluated in accordance with the value of specific flow rate of a fire-extinguishing agent. As it was detected, the specific flow rate of a fire-extinguishing agent does not actually depend on the rank of modelled fire seat when extinguished by an operator wearing thermal-protective clothes. At the same time, it is increasing along with the expansion of the fire zone scale in case the fire is extinguished without special protective clothes. Consequently, to increase the fire-extinguisher’s efficiency data reliability, the certifying tests should be conducted in conditions close to the real application conditions when the first person to firefight is not equipped with such special protective clothes. The experimental studies to determine the specific flow rate of a fire-extinguishing agent used modelled fire seats of various ranks. The analysis of results showed that the fire-extinguishers ensuring generation of drops of prevailing size more than 0,5 mm are required to extinguish the modelled sire seats. The degree of increasing flow rate for the fire-extinguishing agent to eliminate a fire and observation of a safe distance from the flame for an operator are conditioned by the scale of fire zone and affect the specific flow rate of agent required to ensure stable fire-extinguishing. Based on the results of extinguishing the fire seats «34В» or «55В», it is demonstrated that via using a correction factor it is possible, assuming an acceptable error, to evaluate the flow rate of fire-extinguishing agent to extinguish a modelled fire seat of any rank.

Arsenic removal from aqueous solutions containing hexafluoroarsenate or arsenate by strong and weak base anion exchangers was studied by dynamic column tests that were carried out using solution containing arsenic and accompanying anions (chlorides, sulfates and fluorides). The specific flow rate of solution was 6 BV/h. Desorption of arsenic was carried out by 1 mol/L NaOH or 2 mol/L KSCN. All the studied anion exchangers performed well in the absence of accompanying anions. In the presence of chlorides and sulfates, studied exchangers showed high selectivity towards hexafluoroarsenate.

This paper reports a novel curve developed from non - circular gearing theory, which can be applied in rotor profile design of the two - lobe Roots blower. The formulas for calculating the volumetric efficiency and specific flow rate of the blower have also been established. To evaluate this type of the Roots blower, the volumetric efficiency and specific flow rate are being compared with those parameters of the two traditional designs and one recent variant.

This paper has substantiated the expediency and prospects of obtaining organomineral fertilizers by encapsulating mineral granules with an organic suspension in fluidized bed apparatuses. An overview of existing approaches to the mathematical description of the kinetics of granule growth in granulation processes in fluidized bed apparatuses is presented. A mathematical model of the kinetics of the formation of a hard shell around granules in a fluidized bed has been built. It shows that the kinetics depend on the size of the retour particles, the specific flow rate of the suspension, the density of the suspension and granules, and the time of the process. Equations have been derived for determining the thickness of the hard shell and the specific flow rate of the suspension for individual granulation stages in a multi-stage granulator of the fluidized layer. Analytically, graphical dependences were built, which showed an increase in the thickness of the hard shell due to an increase in the specific flow rate of the suspension, the diameter of the retour particles, and the time of the encapsulation process. The equations make it possible to determine the rational regime and technological parameters of the encapsulation process in order to obtain a coating of the predefined thickness at the surface of the granules. This ensures that a quality product is obtained, with a granulometric composition in a narrower range of particle size. To obtain granules of 2.5–4 mm in size, it is necessary to carry out the process in three- or four-stage granulators of the fluidized bed at specific suspension consumption of (10–20)∙10-4 kg/(kg∙s.). It is shown that with uniform growing of granules with a constant increase in the thickness of the shell in multistage granulators, the suspension consumption decreases by 2‒3 times from the first stage to the subsequent ones. This approach reduces the operating and energy costs of the process.

Flow rates and mean hold-ups of solids have been measured under the counter-current flow of water in a 50 mm in diameter vibrating perforated plate column. Experimental data have been described by a mathematical model expressing the specific flow rate of solids in dependence on the hold-up, terminal velocity of the particles, porosity of the plate, specific flow rate of the continuous phase and the frequency and amplitude of plate vibrations. It has been found that for systems exhibiting low particle terminal velocity the pumping effect of the plates may increase the flow rate of the dispersed phase to a value corresponding to the flow in the empty column.

In this work, the process for obtaining aluminum nitride in the combustion mode of co-flow filtration of a nitrogen–argon mixture was investigated. The combustion of granules consisting of aluminum and aluminum nitride as an inert diluent was studied under conditions of co-current filtration in a flow of nitrogen and a nitrogen–argon mixture in the range of a specific flow rate of 1.5–5.0 cm3/(s∙cm2). It was found that the specific flow rate of the gas mixture and the amount of argon in the nitrogen–argon mixture had a significant effect on the rate and the temperature of combustion. The structure and phase composition of the synthesis products were studied. The maximum achieved yield of the AlN phase was 95 wt.%. Moreover, this method is energy efficient and allows the production of metal nitrides without the use of high-pressure reactors.
