To explore the rectification parameters of the diversion piers optimized for the forebay of the pump station with a lateral angle of 45°, the orthogonal experiment and computational fluid dynamics methods are used to analyze the flow characteristics of the diversion piers under different parameter combinations. The flow pattern in the forebay of the side water inlet is improved. The rectification effect of the diversion piers under 16 schemes is analyzed, considering the length, width, radian, and relative height of the diversion piers. Combined with numerical simulation, a better rectification scheme is provided, and finally, a reasonable range of values for the rectification parameters of the forebay diversion pier of the side 45° bend angle pump station is obtained.

Glass lens molding is a high-volume fabrication method for producing optical components. In this paper, combined with the orthogonal test method and finite element method (FEM) simulation, the coupled thermo-mechanical analysis was carried out to analyze the key process factors. In order to reduce the testing time, an orthogonal test with three sets of level factors and three parameters is conducted to obtain the optimal molding process parameters. The result shows that the most significant parameter is molding velocity, the other effect parameters are molding temperature and friction coefficient. According to the previous analysis of orthogonal experiment, it is shown that the best optimal finishing process parameters were A2B1C1.

Compared with the single propeller, a propeller with Swirl Recovery Vanes (SRV) has great advantages in recovering the residual swirl, which leads to an improvement both in thrust and propulsion efficiency. Based on the preliminary design of the SRV for Fokker F29 propeller, Design of Experiment (DoE) method was employed to optimize and further improve the performance of SRV in the present study. Firstly, orthogonal experiment was adopted to identify the most significant factors for affecting thrust. Secondly, steepest ascent method was used to search for the optimum range of target factors by using climbing experiment and factorial experiment. Finally, center composite experiment was adopted to find the optimal solution. As a result, the thrust of the optimized SRV has increased significantly by 11.78% at the design point, which leads to a 0.66% increment of total efficiency of propeller and SRV propulsion system, and even more increment at low rotation speed (2.10%). Besides, compared with the original SRV, the optimized SRV geometry improves the flow characteristics at the tip region of the vane. The tip vortex and swirl kinetic energy have been weakened distinctly, and the thrust coefficient distribution along the spanwise tends to be more uniform.

HighlightsThis article focuses on the sugarcane top chopper.The influence of three factors on the experimental indexes was studied.The optimal parameters combination of working performance was obtained.Abstract. In the process of sugarcane harvesting, sugarcane tops are cut off by the chopper and directly thrown into the field. A small percentage of sugarcane tops are picked and collected to feed livestock. Therefore, it is meaningful to develop an effective sugarcane top chopper which is used to harvest sugarcane tops before harvesting sugarcane stalk harvesting. In this study, a sugarcane top chopping platform was fabricated to investigate critical parameters such as chopping speed (CS), top feeding speed (FS), and cutting drum gap (DG) on the machine performance. In evaluating the sugarcane top chopper, three single factor experiment and one orthogonal experiment were carried out. The single factor test was used to examine the effect of CS, FS and DG on the chopping performance of the machine. According to orthogonal test, the comprehensive influence order was determined: cutting drum gap > chopping speed > top feeding speed. The optimal parameters combination for good working performance of the machine was obtained: chopping speed was 750 rpm, top feeding speed was 1.2 m·s-1, and cutting drum gap was 20 mm. The relationships between the chopping performance and the three critical factors were examined and analyzed to provide theoretical basis for the development of a sugarcane top chopper. Keywords: Chopping performance, Orthogonal test, Single factor test, Sugarcane top chopper, Variance analysis.

Lots of investigations on failures of wall thinned piping have been carried out since the accident of Surry unit 2 in USA. From these preceding efforts, flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) which is a kind of wall thinning phenomenon is revealed main factor of failure of pipes in nuclear power plants. However, there are a few researches which directly take into account of flow characteristics and geometric changes for stress assessment of FAC-caused wall thinned piping. In this paper, structural integrity assessment employing a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis scheme is performed on pipes representing secondary piping system of PWR which consists of straight pipes and elbows of various bend angles. Prior to the assessment, CFD analyses are conducted to predict plausible wall thinning location by considering flow and geometric parameters such as bend angle and radius of elbow. Then, for typical pipe geometry, detailed limit load analyses are performed to calculate maximum stress caused by turbulence and velocity of flow near the wall thinned part. Through these kinds of detailed parametric analyses, effects of FSI were observed, which should be considered for assessment of FAC-caused wall thinned piping.

A pump station is a very important flood control facility for mitigating inundation of urban lowland areas. It is not easy to secure a site to increase the capacity of a pump station in an urban area because of various limitations or to maximize the discharge capacity of the pump sump. Adding a facility to improve the pump capacity of a pump station may affect the flow characteristics, such as unexpected increases in the flow velocity and vorticity, and cause severe problems with operating the pump station. To solve those problems, anti-vortex devices (AVDs) have been developed and adopted for appropriate design standards. The Korean design criteria for AVDs are based on experience and foreign standards because not enough data on the AVD are available. In this study, the flow in the sump was numerically simulated at various AVD heights to collect information on improving the design and efficiency of a pump station. Consequently, an appropriate height for the AVD and changes in the flow pattern and vortex in the pump sump were determined and compared with 12 cases of inflow conditions with respect to the vertical location.

PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) is a new technique of flow measurement. In this experiment PIV technique is used to measure the flow conditions in the pump sump model, which are very complicated, especially in the surrounding of the pump bell where there are very complex vortexes. These will affect the flow characteristics in the pump system broadly and result in vibration and cavitation, and decrease the efficiency of the system. And these will harm the performance of pump station, and even lead it out of order. The vortex surrounding the pump bell has the direct relationships with the structure of the pump suction sump and the pump bell. In this experiment the pump suction sump and the pump bell with particularly structure are used to research the flow situation in the surrounding of the bell. The PIV method is used in the experimental to study the flow conditions surrounding the pump bell. Using this technique the flow velocities, the streamlines and the turbulent kinetic energies in the full range can be obtained. Moreover, other important parameters can be gotten after being analyzed the base experiment data further. Here, the results of the PIV experiment on flow in pump suction sump are analyzed further, and the following parameters are obtained: circulation vector of the inlet flow of bell, three-dimensional velocity and turbulent kinetic energies. And through analyzing the experiment’s photos, the air core’s conditions in the bell also can be gotten.
