In this paper, we present a mathematical model of the piezoelectric pump and its application to the automobile brake system. The piezoelectric pump consists of a multi-layered piezoelectric element a diaphragm, pumping values, resonant pipes and accumulators, and the maximum pumping power of 62W nab obtained in the previous experiments by using the piezoelectric element of 22mm diameter and 55.5mm length. A detailed mathematical model of the pump is derived here by considering the compressibility of the working oil, nonlinear characteristics of piezoelectric element, the time delay of pumping values' action and be on. The validity of the model is illustrated by comparing the experimental data and the simulation results. Using the mathematical model of the piezoelectric pump, a brake system for automobile disk brake is also simulated in this paper. The brake system consists of a piezoelectric pump as a power source, calipers and its piston to generate brake force, and a three position solenoid value to change the brake situation. It is shown that 15mm/sec of piston speed and 20kN of piston force are obtained by using the piezoelectric element of 33mm diameter and 55.5mm length.

In order to suggest the methodology for achieving anti-vortex within multi pump intake well, the field test and CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation were conducted. The filed test were carried out for domestic W_multi pump intake well according to usual operation condition through the naked observation. From the results, operating #4, #5, #8 and 9# pumps, the vortex and swirl occurred above #4 and #9 intake pipe within two wells. For qualitative analysis, a commercial CFD code, using sump model, was used to predict the vortex generation within the selected pump intake facility accurately. The analysed results by CFD show that the vortex structure and location are in accordance with the results of the field test.

The efficiency of the flow mixed pump installed within the bell-mouth in the sump is reduced by the flow characteristics of around intakes. Strong submerged vorticies can be successfully suppressed by installing an AVD(anti-submerged vortex device) on the bottom of pump intake channel just below the bell-mouth. Sump model with AVD device basin is designed and the characteristics of submerged vortex is investigated in the flow field by numerical simulation. In this study, a commercial CFD code is used to predict the efficiency of the pump with the AVD installation in the pump station accurately.

This paper deals with the CFD analysis of cavitating flow in the mixed-flow pump with the specific speed of 1.64 which suffers from a high level of noise and vibrations close to the optimal flow coefficient. The ANSYS CFX package has been used to solve URANS equations together with the Rayleigh-Plesset model and the SST-SAS turbulence model has been employed to capture highly unsteady phenomena inside the pump. The CFD analysis has provided a good picture of the cavitation structures inside the pump and their dynamics for a wide range of flow coefficients and NPSH values. Cavitation instabilities were detected at 70% of the optimal flow coefficient close to the NPSH3 value (NPSH3 is the net positive suction head required for the 3% drop of the total head of the pump).

The performance of a prototype pump converted from that of its model pump shows an increase in efficiency brought about by a decrease in friction loss. As the friction force working on impeller blades causes partial peripheral motion on the outlet flow from the impeller, the increase in the prototype's efficiency causes also a decrease in its input power. This paper discusses results of analyses on the behavior of the theoretical head or input power of a prototype pump. The equation of friction-drag coefficient for a flat plate was applied for the analysis of hydraulic loss in impeller blade passages. It was revealed that the friction-drag of a flat plate could be, to a certain degree, substituted for the friction drag of impeller blades, i.e. as a means for analyzing the relationship between a prototype pump's efficiency increase and input power decrease.

In order to study the characteristics of the subsurface vortex the flow fields of the three pump sump models were analysed by the numerical simulation. The calculation results show that there are circulation flows in the pump sump model and maximum vorticity strength which make iso-surface from the wall to the pump inlet could be used for predicting the subsurface vortex generation. Also, the flow field for the sump model with anti-vortex devices simulated and the results shows that there is no vorticity value which make iso-surface from the sump wall to the pump inlet.

Flow rate of the power steering oil pump is affected by oil temperature, engine rpm and pressure of pump. In this paper, considering those conditions, approximate model expressed by flow rate characteristics between hydraulic power steering oil pump and steering gear is proposed. Oil pump displacement is considered to be 9.6cc/rev. which is adapted to mid size car. Flow rate of the oil pump is predicted from the proposed model and compared with experimental data. And catch-up is also predicted in each steering wheel speed and is compared with experimental results.

In this study, the mathematical model of the underwater discharge system using a centrifugal pump was derived and the rotating speed profiles of the pump which satisfied the discharge performance requirements were obtained through the underwater discharge simulations. The simulation results showed that the dynamic characteristics of a projectile were greatly affected by the rotational speed of the pump, however, hardly by the discharge depth. It is anticipated that the simulation model can be used to derive the design parameters and analyze the performance concerning the underwater discharge system using a centrifugal pump.

The thermal effect and the light output of a laser crystal under different pumping depths were reported., Based on the thermal model of a single-ended pumped Tm:YAP crystal, the thermal stress coupled model used Comsol to theoretically calculate the effect of changing the pump spot size and pump depth on crystal heat distribution and stress distribution. The experimental results showed that the laser output power first increased and then decreased with increasing pump spot size. As the depth of focus increased, the laser output power first increased and then decreased. The experimental results were consistent with the theoretical simulation results. The theory of pump spot radius and depth of focus in this paper provided an effective simulation method for mitigating thermal effects, and provided theoretical supports for laser crystals to obtain higher laser output power.

In indoor temperature control of a heat pump, a reduction in energy consumption is very important. However, most control schemes for heat pumps have focused only on control performance such s settling time and steady-state error. In this paper, the model predictive control (MPC) which includes the energy-related variable in this cost function is proposed. By computing the control signal minimizing this cost function, the trade-off between energy reduction and temperature control performance can be obtained. Since the MPC required the process model, the dynamic mode of a heat pump is also obtained by the system identification technique. Performance of the proposed MPC considering energy efficiency is compared with the two other control schemes. It si shown that the proposed scheme can consume less energy thant hte others in achieving similar control performance.
