Investigation of effect of pump rotational speed on performance and detection of cavitation within a centrifugal pump using vibration analysis.

ABSTRACT: Cavitation is an essential problem that occurs in any pump. It highly contributes to deteriorating the performance of the pump. In industrial applications, it is important to detect and decrease the effect of the cavitation in pumps. In this work, detecting and diagnosing the cavitation phenomenon within centrifugal pumps using vibration technique was investigated. The results obtained for vibration signal in both time and frequency domains were analysed in order to gain a better understanding about the detection of cavitation in the pumps in question. The effect of different operating conditions including various flow rates and pump rotational speeds related to the cavitation were measured. Different statistical features in time domain analysis (TDA) and also the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) technique for frequency domain analysis (FDA) were applied.

Investigation on the cavitation characteristic of a novel cylindrical rotational hydrodynamic cavitation reactor.

Project description:Hydrodynamic cavitation reactors are of great promise for the applications of chemical process intensification and water treatment. In this work, a novel cylindrical rotational hydrodynamic cavitation reactor (CRHCR) with rectangular grooves and oblique tooth protrusions on the rotor surface was studied. The three-dimensional characterization of cavitation within the CRHCR was observed from the front and left views by the high-speed camera experiments. Interestingly, a new phenomenon of simultaneous formation of the attached cavitation and shear cavitation was found in the CRHCR. The synergistic effect of attached cavitation and shear cavitation contributes to the enhancement of the cavitation performance of CRHCR. In addition, the evolution of attached cavitation is explored. It is found that attached cavitation forms a trapezoidal-shaped cavitation cloud in the groove, which undergoes three various stages: incipient, development, and collapse. Finally, the pulsation frequency and cavitation intensity of shear cavitation in the chamber were investigated. The results show that the cavitation pulsation frequency is the same at the same rotational speed in the chamber near diverse oblique teeth. As the rotational speed increases, the cavitation pulsation frequency increases linearly. These findings in this paper are of great benefit to understanding the mechanism of the cavitation effect of CRHCR.

Cavitation upon low-speed solid-liquid impact.

Project description:When a solid object impacts on the surface of a liquid, extremely high pressure develops at the site of contact. Von Karman's study of this classical physics problem showed that the pressure on the bottom surface of the impacting body approaches infinity for flat impacts. Yet, in contrast to the high pressures found from experience and in previous studies, we show that a flat-bottomed cylinder impacting a pool of liquid can decrease the local pressure sufficiently to cavitate the liquid. Cavitation occurs because the liquid is slightly compressible and impact creates large pressure waves that reflect from the free surface to form negative pressure regions. We find that an impact velocity as low as ~3 m/s suffices to cavitate the liquid and propose a new cavitation number to predict cavitation onset in low-speed solid-liquid impact-scenarios. These findings imply that localized cavitation could occur in impacts such as boat slamming, cliff jumping, and ocean landing of spacecraft.

Multi-objective optimization of the cavitation generation unit structure of an advanced rotational hydrodynamic cavitation reactor.

Project description:Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) has been widely considered a promising technique for industrial-scale process intensifications. The effectiveness of HC is determined by the performance of hydrodynamic cavitation reactors (HCRs). The advanced rotational HCRs (ARHCRs) proposed recently have shown superior performance in various applications, while the research on the structural optimization is still absent. The present study, for the first time, identifies optimal structures of the cavitation generation units of a representative ARHCR by combining genetic algorithm (GA) and computational fluid dynamics, with the objectives of maximizing the total vapor volume, Vvapor , and minimizing the total torque of the rotor wall, M→z . Four important geometrical factors, namely, diameter (D), interaction distance (s), height (h), and inclination angle (θ), were specified as the design variables. Two high-performance fitness functions for Vvapor and M→z were established from a central composite design with 25 cases. After performing 10,001 simulations of GA, a Pareto front with 1630 non-dominated points was obtained. The results reveal that the values of s and θ of the Pareto front concentrated on their lower (i.e., 1.5 mm) and upper limits (i.e., 18.75°), respectively, while the values of D and h were scattered in their variation regions. In comparison to the original model, a representative global optimal point increased the Vvapor by 156% and decreased the M→z by 14%. The corresponding improved mechanism was revealed by analyzing the flow field. The findings of this work can strongly support the fundamental understanding, design, and application of ARHCRs for process intensifications.

Experimental and numerical studies on the cavitation in an advanced rotational hydrodynamic cavitation reactor for water treatment.

Project description:Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) has emerged as one of the most potential technologies for industrial-scale water treatment. The advanced rotational hydrodynamic cavitation reactors (ARHCRs) that appeared recently have shown their high effectiveness and economical efficiency compared with conventional devices. For the interaction-type ARHCRs where cavitation is generated from the interaction between the cavitation generation units (CGUs) located on the rotor and the stator, their flow field, cavitation generation mechanism, and interaction process are still not well defined. The present study experimentally and numerically investigated the cavitation flow characteristics in a representative interaction-type ARHCR which has been proposed in the past. The cavitation generation mechanism and development process, which was categorized into "coinciding", "leaving", and "approaching" stages, were analyzed explicitly with experimental flow visualization and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The changes in the cavitation pattern, area ratio, and sheet cavitation length showed high periodicity with a period of 0.5 ms/cycle at a rotational speed of 3,600 rpm in the flow visualization. The experimental and CFD results indicated that sheet cavitation can be generated on the downstream sides of both the moving and the static CGUs. The sheet cavitation was induced and continuously enlarged in the "leaving" and "approaching" stages and was crushed after the moving CGUs coincided with the static CGUs. In addition, vortex cavitation was formed in the vortex center of each CGU due to high-speed rotating fluid motion. The shape and size of the vortex cavitation were determined by the compression effect produced by the interaction. The findings of this work are important for the fundamental understanding, design, and application of the ARHCRs in water treatment.

Development of Active Centrifugal Pump for Microfluidic CD Platforms.

Project description:The continuous emerging of microfluidic compact disc (CD) platforms for various real-life applications motivates researchers to explore new innovative ideas towards more integrated active functions. However, microfluidic CDs have some drawbacks, including the unidirectional flow that limits the usable space for multi-stepped biological and chemical assays. In this work, a novel active and bidirectional centrifugal pump is developed and integrated on microfluidic CDs. The design of the developed pump partially replicates the designs of the conventional centrifugal pumps with a modification in the connecting channels' positions that allow the developed pump to be reversible. The main advantage of the proposed centrifugal pump is that the pumping speed can be accurately controlled during spinning or while the microfluidic CD is stationary. Performance tests show that the pumping speed can reach up to 164.93 mm3/s at a pump rotational speed (impellers speed) of 4288 rpm. At that speed, 1 mL of water could be pumped in 6.06 s. To present a few of the potential applications of the centrifugal pump, flow reciprocation, bidirectional pumping, and flow switching were performed and evaluated. Results show that the developed centrifugal pump can pump 1096 µL of liquid towards the CD center at 87% pumping efficiency while spinning the microfluidic CD at 250 rpm. This novel centrifugal pump can significantly widen the range of the applicability of microfluidic CDs in advanced chemical processes and biological assays.

Hemostatic Complications During Neonatal Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Roller Pump and Centrifugal Pump Driven Circuits.

Project description:Recently three different neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits have been employed in our clinic. These circuits were compared for clotting and bleeding complications. Initially, we used an ECMO circuit containing a roller pump and venous bladder without severe complications. Manufacturing of circuit components was discontinued, necessitating the replacement of this circuit by a circuit with a centrifugal pump with 3/8 inch inlet and outlet. Acute increase of oxygenator resistance requiring emergency changeout became unexpectedly a regularly occurring complication. The increase in resistance was suspected to be caused by oxygenator clotting, although oxygenator function was preserved. To prevent this complication, we changed to a levitating centrifugal pump with 1/4 inch inlet and outlet, after which no oxygenator malfunction has been observed. Macroscopic and electron microscopic analysis demonstrates that small clots are formed within the circuit, presumably in or near the centrifugal pump, which are transported to the oxygenator and clog up the hollow fiber layer at the inlet side, barely penetrating the oxygenator beyond this first layer. Our results suggest that low blood velocities accompanied with recirculation of blood within or near the centrifugal pump and/or heat generation within the pump could contribute to the formation of these clots.

A Technique for Centrifugal Pump Fault Detection and Identification Based on a Novel Fault-Specific Mann-Whitney Test.

Project description:This work presents a technique for fault detection and identification in centrifugal pumps (CPs) using a novel fault-specific Mann-Whitney test (FSU Test) and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classification algorithm. Traditional fault indicators, such as the mean, peak, root mean square, and impulse factor, lack sensitivity in detecting incipient faults. Furthermore, for defect identification, supervised models rely on pre-existing knowledge about pump defects for training purposes. To address these concerns, a new centrifugal pump fault indicator (CPFI) that does not rely on previous knowledge is developed based on a novel fault-specific Mann-Whitney test. The new fault indicator is obtained by decomposing the vibration signature (VS) of the centrifugal pump hierarchically into its respective time-frequency representation using the wavelet packet transform (WPT) in the first step. The node containing the fault-specific frequency band is selected, and the Mann-Whitney test statistic is calculated from it. The combination of hierarchical decomposition of the vibration signal for fault-specific frequency band selection and the Mann-Whitney test form the new fault-specific Mann-Whitney test. The test output statistic yields the centrifugal pump fault indicator, which shows sensitivity toward the health condition of the centrifugal pump. This indicator changes according to the working conditions of the centrifugal pump. To further enhance fault detection, a new effect ratio (ER) is introduced. The KNN algorithm is employed to classify the fault type, resulting in promising improvements in fault classification accuracy, particularly under variable operating conditions.

Miniature 3D-Printed Centrifugal Pump with Non-Contact Electromagnetic Actuation.

Project description:We present a miniature 3D-printed dynamic pump using the centrifugal operating principle. Dynamic pumps typically yield higher flow rates than displacement pumps at reasonable output pressure. Realizing smaller devices suitable for millifluidic and microfluidic applications brings challenges in terms of design, fabrication and actuation. By using microstereolithography printing we have reduced the overall size to an effective pumping volume of 2.58 mL. The free-moving rotor consists of an impeller and permanent magnets embedded during the printing process, which allow for non-contact electromagnetic actuation. The pump is driven by periodically switching the current through stator coils, controlled by a custom built circuit using a Hall effect sensor. It achieves a maximum flow rate of 124 mL/min and a hydrostatic pressure of up to 2400 Pa.
