Abstract: Tests were conducted on a prototype pump which has an extremely simple structure and excellent controllability. Its structural and hydrodynamic features are different from those of previous ...

Abstract: Experiments are performed by using two circular cylinders made of porous filter material, that is, bronze sintered compact, with a different filter size, respectively, in a water tunnel. The ...

Abstract: A systematic investigation has been carried out on cavitation erosion in solid-water mixtures using vibratory test facilities and some analytical devices. A mixture of distilled water and ...

Abstract: A new device has been developed for sequential production of mm-sized solid spherical shells using liquid-liquid gas systems. This device comprises a cylindrical vessel, for containing two kinds ...

Abstract: To develop the prototype vibration pumping device for an artificial heart (Hashimoto et al., 1994, ASME J. Fluids Eng., 116 , pp. 741–745), the flow patterns in the casing were analyzed ...
