Abstract: The conical bearing can withstand both journal and axial load because of the conical-shape fluid film, and an investigation concerning the thermodynamic lubrication and stability properties is proposed for a conical ...

Abstract: Modern pumps are designed to guarantee a sufficiently large operating range or to satisfy the performance requirements relative to more than one operating point. This study applies trailingedge (TE) modification method ...

Abstract: To accurately obtain the flow and temperature field in mechanical seals and investigate the key influencing factors, a numerical analysis of flow and heat transfer in a contact mechanical seal with highsealing pressure, ...

Abstract: In order to study the transient characteristics of a closedloop pipe system with room temperature water, experiments were carried out based on different pump stopping periods from rate rotational speed to zero. Various ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a flywheel that can adaptively generate variable equivalent mass in response to application requirements. The motivation for the design comes from the need to achieve passive inertial mass, which ...

Abstract: The ability of ankle rehabilitation robots to accurately mimicking the actual human ankle motion is an important judgment basis for robot-assisted rehabilitation training. This paper proposes an evaluation index and mechanism ...

Abstract: In this study, three impellers with different blade pressure side (PS) profiles are designed and the influence on the hydraulic and dynamic performance of a low specific speed centrifugal pump is investigated by numerical ...

Abstract: In this study, a double volute centrifugal pump with relative low efficiency and high vibration is redesigned to improve the efficiency and reduce the unsteady radial forces with the aid of unsteady computational fluid ...

Abstract: High pressure surges induced by the sudden closure of check valves can cause severe damage to mechanical and hydraulic facilities. A three-dimensional unsteady numerical simulation of a dual disc check valve closure induced ...

Abstract: In the piercing process of large-diameter seamless steel pipe blanks after heating, severe lateral cracks easily occur on the surface of pierced pipe blanks owing to the effects of the large temperature difference and ...
