Optimizing the Clearance Fit of a Progressive Cavity Pump for the Thermal Recovery of Petroleum Using Fluid-Structure Thermal Coupling.

It is important to incorporate the effects of fluid-structure thermal coupling and the boundary conditions when calculating the thermal dynamics and response of progressive cavity pumps. This study develops a fluid-structure thermal coupling model of the progressive cavity pump to improve the accuracy of its measured field of deformation and the temperature field of the stator. A function for the macroscopic motion of a rigid body is written in a typical fluid domain, and the user-defined function (UDF) in FLUENT is used to load the boundary of the rotor to realize its planetary motion.

Optimal design and numerical analysis of multi-field coupling in a screw pump under wet gas compression.

During on-site operation under wet gas compression, the volumetric efficiency of a twin-screw pump decreases sharply, the temperature in the pump rises significantly, severe vibration and even jamming can occur. To solve the problems caused by wet gas compression structurally, a method for optimizing the design of a decompression screw is proposed in this paper based on the characteristics of a twin-screw pump and screw compressor. A fluid-solid multi-field thermal-coupling scheme is used to calculate the pressure, temperature, deformation, outflow, and volumetric efficiency of a screw pump before and after optimization.

Optimization of twisted blade of pump as turbine based on high dimensional surrogate model.

In order to improve the operation efficiency of the twisted blade pump as turbine (PAT), a medium specific speed PAT was selected as the research object. The variables of the twisted blade plane blade profile were defined, the twisted blade was transformed into three plane blade profiles, and the blade profiles were parameterized by MATLAB 9.7 software.

[Abundance of Toxic and Non-toxic Microcystis sp. in Lake Hongze and Its Correlation with Environmental Factors].

In the present study, the eutrophic level of 30 water samples collected from Lake hongze in August 2014 were analyzed, and the abundance of toxic and non-toxic Microcystis sp., together with their spatial distribution, was investigated by quantitative real-time PCR techniques. The results showed that the average concentrations of total nitrogen and total phosphorus were 1.
