Based on the design method of great distortion and appropriate extension to pump inlet, blades of large-scale flue-gas desulphurization absorption tower circulating pump were designed to obtain more suitable blade streamline shape for fluid flow in the internal flow field, the hydro-cyclone loss and noise of pump inlet were decreased while the pump performance and efficiency were improved. An impeller clearance automatic compensation device was added to the front shroud, which ensured the pump working in high efficiency area, and the volute sections 5 through 7 were designed to be double-channel to effectively reduce the radial force. Wear of the pump was greatly reduced and the pump service life was extended by developing a new material M26-23V alloy steel. The pump internal flow field was calculated through k-ε model provided by CFD software Fluent 6.3, and the pump performance was predicted. The pump performance test results showed that the prediction performance curve was consistent with test performance curve. It can be concluded that the pump efficiency at design point reaches up to 85.3%, and the comprehensive technical index meet the design requirements. The pump service life was prolonged by rational structure design and favorable wear resistance.

AbstractSpray Drying Absorber (SDA) has been widely used for large-scale desulfurization. However, it also has some limitations. For example, the liquid absorbent easily causes scaling, which impedes the contact between the serous fluid and the flue gas and reduces the chemical reaction rate and desulfurization efficiency. This paper establishes the mathematical and physical model of gas and liquid two-phase flow and droplet evaporation and heat transfer in rotary spray desulfurization tower. To study the accumulation and distribution of chemical reaction precipitates in the desulfurization tower and analyze the removal efficiency of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in different atomization diameters, this paper establishes a simulation model concerning the coupling of desulfurization reaction and flow field calculation based on the absorption and reaction mechanism of SO2. Baffle in different widths are set to optimize the internal flow field and balance the distribution of flue gas. By setting baffles of different widths to optimize the flow field in the tower and changing the distribution of flue gas, this model reduces the scaling while ensuring the desulfurization efficiency. The results of the simulation experiment have verified that the droplet with a diameter of 50 μm is the optimal option, which can effectively remove the scaling and ensure that the desulfurizing tower runs in high efficiency and stability. When the width of baffles is 2250 mm, the efficiency of desulfurization exceeds 95%, and the amount of scaling on the desulfurization tower main wall is controlled at the minimum level, which is the optimal option for production.

This paper investigates the transient flow rate performance of small piezoelectric-hydraulic pumps. In a previous study, a small piezoelectric hydraulic pump was designed and developed to be applicable to the braking systems of small- and medium-sized UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). To this end, a thin plate spring check valve was designed in order to effectively discharge the flow in a single direction. The flow rate of the piezoelectric-hydraulic pump is an important criterion for evaluating pump efficiency. Therefore, a study on the parameters affecting such a flow rate is necessary to enhance the efficiency of piezoelectric hydraulic pumps used in brake systems. This study on small piezoelectric-hydraulic pumps is performed to accurately predict the flow rate using a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) tool. In other words, an unsteady CFD method is applied to model the transient flow rate characteristics and the internal flow field of the fluid. The visualization of the internal flow field is evaluated for a better understanding of the flow fields inside the pump. Moreover, this work also illustrates the detailed motion of both the inlet and outlet check valves during the pump operation that fully reflects the phase shift between the check valves and the piston motion, all of which affect the flow rate performance of the pump. An experiment of flow rate characteristics was conducted on a designed piezoelectric-hydraulic pump, which verifies the validity of the CFD results.

The flow rate and temperature of the flue gas from a sintering machine can fluctuate in a wide range; thus, the follow-up desulfurization facility should be operated stably and maintained on-line. A new type of horizontal spray tower, which can achieve high efficiency with low pressure loss and easy maintenance, was invented by the University of Science and Technology Beijing. A 3D multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the horizontal spray tower was constructed with Fluent software to study the internal flow field and the reaction of the horizontal spray tower. The standard k–ξ model and the Eulerian–Lagrangian model were adopted in this study. Results show that the flow field in the spray tower can be numerically simulated utilizing the CFD technology. The inlet angle exerts an important effect on the flue gas flow field of the horizontal tower. When the first-order efficiency and the economic indicators are taken into account, an inlet angle of 75° is recommended in the top inlet intake mode, whereas a 30° inlet angle performs the best in the side inlet intake mode. The spray configuration exerts an important influence. When the spray cone angle is 110° and the installation height is controlled at 0.8 m from the top surface, the smoke residence time is long, and the contact is sufficient. The results can provide theoretical support for the optimization of the structure of the spray tower.

This study was conducted to identify the performance of centrifugal pump series configuration and parallel configuration experimentally and Ansys simulation. In the previous study, the performance of centrifugal pumps was calculated by varying the valve opening. In this study researchers varied motor rotation of 1000 rpm, 1200 rpm, 1400 rpm, 1600 rpm and 1800 rpm with open valve 100%. The results show that series configuration has higher head value than parallel configuration. While the parallel configuration has a higher capacity value than the series configuration. The highest pump efficiency for this pump performance test is in series configuration of 1800 rpm is 83.4% for experimental and 85% for simulation. While the lowest pump efficiency is in parallel configuration pumps of 1800 rpm with an efficiency 14.1% for experimental and 15.5% for simulation.

A traditional hydrocyclone can only generate two products with different size fractions after one classification, which does not meet the fine classification requirements for narrow size fractions. In order to achieve the fine classification, a multi-product hydrocyclone with double-overflow-pipe structure was designed in this study. In this work, numerical simulation and experimental test methods were used to study the internal flow field characteristics and distribution characteristics of the product size fraction. The simulation results showed that in contrast with the traditional single overflow pipe, there were two turns in the internal axial velocity direction of the hydrocyclone with the double-overflow-pipe structure. Meanwhile, the influence rule of the diameter of the underflow outlet on the flow field characteristics was obtained through numerical simulation. From the test, five products with different size fractions were obtained after one classification and the influence rule of the diameter of the underflow outlet on the size fraction distribution of multi-products was also obtained. This work provides a feasible research idea for obtaining the fine classification of multiple products.

Multistage centrifugal compressors are widely used in the oil and gas industry for various applications. As energy demand increases, the compressor has been challenged to have both high efficiency and broad operating range in order to minimize the life-cycle operation cost. Therefore much effort has been devoted to improve performance of the centrifugal impeller through various design methods. This paper highlights experiences gained in the development of three-dimensional impeller design in an effort combining different design methodologies and experimental investigations. In the present paper, a radial impeller in a medium specific speed range was designed through the conventional direct approach as the baseline. Then, it was redesigned with a different loading profile and a challenged loading magnitude by means of the inverse design method. To assess the two design approaches, the resulting two impellers were manufactured and tested in a closed-loop compressor test rig. The experimental investigation consists of both the performance test and detailed traverse test measuring the flow field downstream of the impeller. The paper presents the comparison of impeller performance and time-averaged data of the downstream flow field between the two impellers. Analysis of the test data illustrates the critical impact of the blade loading on the overall compressor performance and stability.

In a shear-force pump with multiple corotating disks, the pressure gain is obtained by utilizing the shear force produced on the surfaces of the rotating disks. Thus, it is expected to have advantages as a microfluid device compared to a conventional bladed compressor or pump, which suffers greatly from viscous loss. However, in previous studies, a shear-force pump could not achieve high efficiency in experiments, even though very good efficiencies were predicted in numerical and analytical studies on the flow field between corotating disks. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to investigate the internal flow dynamics and clarify the loss mechanisms in a complete shear-force pump device consisting of both rotor and stationary components. In order to achieve this goal, a numerical simulation using an independent rotor analysis was first performed on the internal flow field between two corotating disks to evaluate the isentropic efficiency and pressure coefficient that could be achieved. Then, an experimental test rig for a shear-force pump was designed and built, and an experiment was carried out to determine the performance of a complete pump device with the same corotating disk design as the independent rotor analysis. In addition, a numerical simulation was executed for the flow field of a pump system consisting of both rotor and stationary components based on the present test rig to investigate the flow field and loss factors of this device. The results of this independent rotor analysis showed that the corotating disks can achieve a fairly high efficiency at a low flow coefficient with a high dynamic pressure, and the flow direction is extremely close to the tangential direction at the disk outlet, which caused difficulties in the design of the diffuser and scroll. In the experimental test, the high total pressure loss in the parallel diffuser and scroll parts was observed. This was found to be the result of the significant friction loss caused by the long flow path due to strong recirculation in the diffuser and scroll volute, which was found in the simulation results for the internal flow in the whole pump system. In addition, a reverse flow appeared in the rotor part at a low flow coefficient, which significantly deteriorated the rotor performance. These conclusions provided some clues for improving the performance of a shear-force pump device in future work.
