Cavitation occurs due to the formation of empty cavities in the fluid flow that decreases pressure quickly. When cavitation occurs then the pump performance will decrease marked with noise and when this condition is not addressed will cause damage to the pump components. The distillation pump working under vacuum pressure and working temperature at 38 ° C is susceptible to cavitation. The pressure and temperature conditions of this distillation pump work result in faster fluid evaporation and eventually trigger cavitation. To avoid the occurrence of cavitation, it must be known operational limits concerning the pressure and working capacity of the distillation pump. The operational limit of this pump is between the shut-off point meaning there is no flow and run-out point which means the full capacity of the pump. This study aims to determine the operating limits of safe distillation pumps both from pressure and capacity. The experimental methodology used is to vary the capacity of the pump by adjusting the opening valve discharge at 100%, 90%, 80% and 70% capacities. Then for each capacity varied also the suction pressure of pump at 0 mmHg, -7 mmHg, -15 mmHg and -22 mmHg by arranging vacuum pump. The magnitude of the vibration response is measured to determine the effect of the capacity and variation of pump suction pressure. With this method can be known range of capacity and pressure suction safe for operation of distillation pump. The results showed that the highest vibration value was in the axial direction. Vibration spectrum value spread over the range 1600 - 1900 Hz with the highest value is at 100% capacity (0.00278 m3 / sec) suction pressure -0 mmHg with amplitude of 0.410 g at 1660 Hz frequency. While the lowest vibration value is at a flow rate of 0.00208 m3 / sec with an amplitude of 0.210 g at a frequency of 1816 Hz. While the minimum flow rate to avoid the occurrence of cavitation due to recirculation flow is equal to 0.00172 m3 / sec. Keywords: cavitation, distillation pump, operational limit, valve discharge, vacuum pump

Vibration Signal Analysis

In this paper, the natural frequencies (NFs) identification by finite element method (FEM) is applied to a two degrees-of-freedom (2-DOF) planar robot, and its validation through a novel experimental methodology, the Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm, is presented. The experimental platforms are two different 2-DOF planar robots with different materials for the links and different types of actuators. The FEM is carried out using ANSYS™ software for the experiments, with vibration signal analysis by MUSIC algorithm. The advantages of the MUSIC algorithm against the commonly used fast Fourier transform (FFT) method are also presented for a synthetic signal contaminated by three different noise levels. The analytical and experimental results show that the proposed methodology identifies the NFs of a high-resolution robot even when they are very closed and when the signal is embedded in high-level noise. Furthermore, the results show that the proposed methodology can obtain a high-frequency resolution with a short sample data set. Identifying the NFs of robots is useful for avoiding such frequencies in the path planning and in the selection of controller gains that establish the bandwidth.

This paper presents a novel approach for the recovery of lead from waste cathode-ray tube (CRT) glass by applying a combined chemical-electrochemical process which allows the simultaneous recovery of Pb from waste CRT glass and electrochemical regeneration of the leaching agent. The optimal operating conditions were identified based on the influence of leaching agent concentration, recirculation flow rate and current density on the main technical performance indicators. The experimental results demonstrate that the process is the most efficient at 0.6 M acetic acid concentration, flow rate of 45 mL/min and current density of 4 mA/cm2. The mass balance data corresponding to the recycling of 10 kg/h waste CRT glass in the identified optimal operating conditions was used for the environmental assessment of the process. The General Effect Indices (GEIs), obtained through the Biwer Heinzle method for the input and output streams of the process, indicate that the developed recovery process not only achieve a complete recovery of lead but it is eco-friendly as well.

High Treatment

The present work evaluates the potential of the photocatalysis (PC) process for the degradation of butylparaben (BPB). Relatively high treatment efficiency was achieved by comparison to photochemical process. Prior to photocatalytic degradation, adsorption (AD) of BPB occurred on the titanium dioxide (TiO2)-supported catalyst. AD was described by Langmuir isotherm (KL = 0.085 L g−1, qm = 4.77 mg g−1). The influence of angle of inclination of the reactor, pH, recirculation flow rate and initial concentration of BPB were investigated. The PC process applied under optimal operating conditions (recirculation flow rate of 0.15 L min−1, angle of inclination of 15°, pH = 7 and 5 mg L−1 of BPB) is able to oxidize 84.9–96.6% of BPB and to ensure around 38.7% of mineralization. The Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetic model described well the photocatalytic oxidation of BPB (k = 7.02 mg L−1 h−1, K = 0.364 L mg−1).

An experimental study is performed to extract minute gas bubbles from liquids flowing in a simulated cardiopulmonary bypass system using a Venturi-aspirator unit. In other words, oxygen bubbles in oxygenated blood are simulated by air bubbles in water with AP30 (about same viscosity as whole blood). This study is intended to determine the feasibility of using a Venturi aspirator unit to extract minute gas bubbles from a simulated cardiopulmonary bypass system. Testing of the Venturi-type bubble extraction is carried out using three different test sections. Two Venturis are used, and a straight tube configuration is used as a control. The two Venturis are similar, with the exception that one has a longer inlet cone which causes the entering liquid to accelerate at a slower rate. Results are obtained for effectiveness of the aspirator unit as functions of total flow rate, extraction suction, suction pressure difference, and hydraulic head. It is concluded from the study that:(i) The effectiveness of the Venturis is typically between 90 and 100 percent. It increases with an increase in suction or suction pressure difference but decreases with an increase in total flow rate.(ii) The Venturi is most suitable for extraction of minute gas bubbles, especially for use with AP30 (whole blood), which yields substantially higher effectiveness than water.(iii) It is anticipated that a Venturi-aspirator unit can be superior to other bubble separation device as the cardiopulmonary bypass system for applications in extra corporeal blood oxygenation.

Centrifugal compressors used for turbochargers need to achieve a wide operating range. The author has developed a high pressure ratio centrifugal compressor with pressure ratio 5.7 for a marine use turbocharger. In order to enhance operating range, two different types of recirculation devices were applied. One is a conventional recirculation device. The other is a new one. The conventional recirculation device consists of an upstream slot, bleed slot and the annular cavity which connects both slots. The new recirculation device has vanes installed in the cavity. These vanes were designed to provide recirculation flow with negative preswirl at the impeller inlet, a swirl counterwise to the impeller rotational direction. The benefits of the application of both of the recirculation devices were ensured. The new device in particular, shifted surge line to a lower flow rate compared to the conventional device. This paper discusses how the new recirculation device affects the flow field in the above transonic centrifugal compressor by using steady 3-D calculations. Since the conventional recirculation device injects the flow with positive preswirl at the impeller inlet, the major difference between the conventional and new recirculation device is the direction of preswirl that the recirculation flow brings to the impeller inlet. This study focuses on two effects which preswirl of the recirculation flow will generate. (1) Additional work transfer from impeller to fluid. (2) Increase or decrease of relative Mach number. Negative preswirl increases work transfer from the impeller to fluid as the flow rate reduces. It increases negative slope on pressure ratio characteristics. Hence the recirculation flow with negative preswirl will contribute to stability of the compressor. Negative preswirl also increases the relative Mach number at the impeller inlet. It moves shock downstream compared to the conventional recirculation device. It leads to the suppression of the extension of blockage due to the interaction of shock with tip leakage flow.

Vibration Signal Analysis

This paper presents a noise reduction technique for vibration signal analysis in rolling bearings, based on local geometric projection (LGP). LGP is a non-linear filtering technique that reconstructs one dimensional time series in a high-dimensional phase space using time-delayed coordinates, based on the Takens embedding theorem. From the neighborhood of each point in the phase space, where a neighbor is defined as a local subspace of the whole phase space, the best subspace to which the point will be orthogonally projected is identified. Since the signal subspace is formed by the most significant eigen-directions of the neighborhood, while the less significant ones define the noise subspace, the noise can be reduced by converting the points onto the subspace spanned by those significant eigen-directions back to a new, one-dimensional time series. Improvement on signal-to-noise ratio enabled by LGP is first evaluated using a chaotic system and an analytically formulated synthetic signal. Then analysis of bearing vibration signals is carried out as a case study. The LGP-based technique is shown to be effective in reducing noise and enhancing extraction of weak, defect-related features, as manifested by the multifractal spectrum from the signal.
