Centrifugal pump design and analysis

AIM: Analysis and simulation of the centrifugal pump and obtaining pressure ratio, mass flow rate. INTRODUCTION: Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine or electric…

AIM: To obtain a plot of lift vs mass flow rate of flow through a flow bench. INTRODUCTION:  An air flow bench is a device used for testing the internal aerodynamic qualities of an engine component and is related to the more familiar wind tunnel. It is used primarily for testing…

AIM:To run the Flow simulations on NACA0017 airfoil at an angle of attacks 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 degrees. And compare the change in lift force and drag force at these angles of attacks.  INTRODUCTION:An airfoil or aerofoil is the cross-sectional shape of a wing, blade (of a propeller, rotor,…

AIM: To Understand and Simulate the Transient Flow over a Cylinder in SolidWorks and observe the variation of velocity and pressure in a domain for three different Reynolds Numbers. INTRODUCTION:Flow over a cylinder is a classical problem for understanding the flow over an obstacle. The geometry of the cylinder is simple…

OBJECTIVE: To perform frequency analysis on the rotating shaft and to determine the mode shapes and resonant frequencies of the model INTRODUCTION: Frequency analysis is carried out to determine the natural frequencies of a part. Frequency analysis in SOLIDWORKS Simulation allows us to efficiently investigate the…

ABSTRACT: In this study, The motion analysis of the IC Engine valve train is done by calculating the linear displacement of the valve and contact forces between each link for a certain constant speed of two types of CAMs. The two CAMs have different CAM lift, CAM lift is the maximum distance the CAM pushes the follower.…

ABSTRACT: In this study, the motion analysis of the piston crank is done by comparing the linear displacement with respect to time data of three cases of the piston. The three cases of the piston are taken by providing different offset to the wristpin. The position of the wrist pin is going to be varied as followed. But…

INTRODUCTION: Genetic algorithm is a heuristic method that is inspired by Darwin\'s theory of natural evolution. Genetic algorithm is commonly used to generate optimizations problems & search problems. To make it do this it requires  genetic representation fitness function  The genetic algorithm solves optimization…

INTRODUCTION:- An epicyclic gear trainalso known as planetary gear consists of two gears mounted so that the centre of one gear revolves around the centre of the other. A carrirer connects the centres of the two gears and rotates to carry one gear, called the planet gear, around the other, called the sun gear. The planet…

INTRODUCTION:- The geneva drive is a gear mechanism that translates a continuous rotation movement into interiment rotary motion. The rotating wheel is usually equipped with a pin that reaches into slot located in the other wheel(driven wheel) that advances it by one step at time. The main wheel also has an elevated circular…

INTRODUCTION:- Here we are writing a program for reading a data file and plotting the graph for whatever parameters we want EXPLANATION OF PROGRAM:- I imported matplotlib.pyplot, math, numpy to use them in the program. I created empty arrays of each parameter in the data file. By using try and except function we can tell…

Curve fitting is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, possibly subject to constraints. Curve fitting can involve either interpolation, where an exact fit to the data is required, or smoothing, in which a \"smooth\" function is constructed that…

INTRODUCTION ODE is used to describe the behavior of the system. Here the motion of a simple pendulum is described in second order ODE using Newton\'s second law of motion as\' `(d^2theta)/dt^2-(b/m)*(d theta)/dt-(g/l)*sintheta` where g = gravity in m/s^2, L = length of the pendulum in m, m = mass of the ball in kg, b…

INTRODUCTION An Otto cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle that describes the functioning of a typical spark ignition piston engine. The Otto cycle is a description of what happens to a mass of gas as it is subjected to changes of pressure, temperature, volume, the addition of heat, and removal of heat. An Otto cycle…

INTRODUCTION:- Rankine cycle is a process by which power is generated with steam heat engine in power generation. This power depends on the temperature difference between a heat source and a cold source, higher the difference more mechanical power can be extracted efficiency. Heat sources used in this are nuclear fission…

INTRODUCTION: Nasa documented list of coefficients for different species. This data is used to calculate the specific heat, Enthalpy, Entropy by parsing the file using MATLAB. This allows us to read the whole file and use the values necessary to calculate the Thermodynamic properties of certain species as per the file.…
