  • Hydraulic Machinery • Turbine Is a Device That Extracts Energy from a Fluid (Converts the Energy Held by the Fluid to Mechanical Energy)
    Hydraulic Machines power point presentation Slides has been adapted from Hydraulic Machines, K. Subramanya 2016-2017 Prepared by Dr. Assim Al-Daraje 1 Chapter (1 Part 1) Prepared by Dr. Assim Al-Daraje INTRODUCTION 2 Hydraulic machinery • Turbine is a device that extracts energy from a fluid (converts the energy held by the fluid to mechanical energy) • Pumps are devices that add energy to the fluid (e.g. pumps, fans, blowers and compressors). 3 INTRODUCTION Fluid-flow machines are very broadly classified as turbo-machines and positive displacement machines. A turbo-machine is a device that adds energy to a fluid or extracts energy from the fluid by virtue of a rotating system of blades. These machines require a rotating element called rotor and relative motion between the fluid and the rotor. 4 If the machine adds energy it is called a pump; if it extracts energy it is called a turbine. The fluid to be pumped can be in incompressible mode throughout its passage in the machine or compressibility effects may come in to picture at different phases of its interaction in the machine. If the fluid is water, the pump device is labeled as water pump. 5 Turbines • J.V. Poncelet first introduced the idea of the development of mechanical energy through hydraulic energy • Modern hydraulic turbines have been developed by L.A. Pelton (impulse), G. Coriolis and J.B.

  • The Influence of Gear Micropump Body Asymmetry on Stress Distribution
    POLISH MARITIME RESEARCH 1 (93) 2017 Vol. 24; pp. 60-65 10.1515/pomr-2017-0007 THE INFLUENCE OF GEAR MICROPUMP BODY ASYMMETRY ON STRESS DISTRIBUTION Wacław Kollek, Prof. Piotr Osiński Urszula Warzyńska Wrocław University of Science and Technology, Poland ABSTRACT The paper presents the results of numerical calculations of stress distributions in the gear micropump body for applications in hydraulic systems, especially in the marine sector. The scope of the study was to determine the most favorable position of bushings and pumping unit in the gear pump body in terms of stress and displacement distribution in the pump housing. Fourteen cases of gear pump bushings and pumping unit locations were analyzed: starting from the symmetrical position relative to the central axis of the pump, up to a position shifted by 2.6 mm towards the suction channel of the pump. The analysis of the obtained calculation results has shown that the most favorable conditions for pump operation are met when the bushings are shifted by 2.2 mm towards the suction channel. In this case the maximal stress was equal to 109 MPa, while the highest displacement was about 15µm. Strength and stiffness criteria in the modernized pump body were satisfied. Keywords: gear micropump, microhydraulics, finite element method 17, 19, 20, 21, 22]. The development of modern gear units is INTRODUCTION associated with the following trends: increasing operating pressure [6, 18], improving total efficiency [4, 10, 15, 18, 23], Gear pumps are the most common group of positive reducing pressure pulsations [3, 18, 25], minimizing weight displacement pumps used in hydrostatic drive systems as [15] and noise [11, 14, 16], and reducing dynamic loads [7, 12, power generators, as well as in lubrication systems in various 13, 19].

Originally, the science of hydraulics only covered the physical behavior of water at rest and in motion. The use has broadened its meaning, to include compressed air or gases and oil com- pounds and other confined liquids commonly used under controlled pressure to do some work. Hydraulics can be defined as the engineering science that pertains to liquid pressure and flow. This study includes the manner in which liquids act in tanks, cylinders, hoses, valves and pipes, dealing with their properties and the common ways of utilizing these properties to create motion. It includes the laws of floating bodies and the behavior of fluids under various conditions, and ways of directing this flow to useful ends, as well as many other related subjects and applications.

This paper is focused on the study of electric energy storage systems (EESS) and hydraulic energy storage systems (HESS) for energy regeneration applications. Two test benches were designed and implemented to compare the performance of the systems under similar operating conditions. The electrical system was configured with a set of ultracapacitors, and the hydraulic system used a hydraulic accumulator. Both systems were designed to have the same energy storage capacity. Charge and discharge cycle experiments were performed for the two systems in order to compare their power density, energy density, cost, and efficiency. According to the experimentally obtained results, the power density in the hydraulic accumulator was 21.7% higher when compared with the ultracapacitors. Moreover, the cost/power ($/Watt) ratio in the hydraulic accumulator was 2.9 times smaller than a set of ultracapacitors of the same energy storage capacity.

    Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Technical Review Vol. 53 No. 1 (March 2016) 14 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Mechatronics Systems, Ltd. Supports Society Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Mechatoronics Systems, Ltd. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Mechatoronics Systems, Ltd. (MHI-MS) was founded in October 2009 through the consolidation of five Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) group companies in the Kobe region, and it has been expanding its operations with a diverse product line-up in the Machinery, Equipment & Infrastructure domain. Furthermore, in an effort to seek new development and further growth, MHI-MS separated some businesses to merge with another company last year. |1. Business transition At the time of its launch in October 2009, MHI-MS mainly offered shield tunnel boring machinery and waste gas and water treatment products. It expanded its business in April 2012 by adding products that were originally handled by the former Machinery and Steel Structure Division at MHI Kobe Shipyard and Machinery Works, including testing equipment, hydraulic penstocks, sports and cultural facilities, and biomass products. Prior to this, MHI-MS had handled after-sales services for these products. In April 2014, MHI-MS absorbed Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Parking Co., Ltd., which developed multistory parking structures. It also integrated and reorganized the steel structure business of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Bridge & Steel Structures Engineering Co., Ltd., the products of which include stacks, gas holders, disaster prevention infrastructure, seismic isolators, and vibration control systems. In 2015, it took over MHI’s hydraulic machinery and accelerator businesses in October and integrated the ITS product business in November. To achieve further growth, the waste gas treatment business (i.e., anti-air pollution equipment and solvent recovery systems) was transferred to Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Environmental Solutions, Ltd.
