It needs to accumulate a store of know-how on the design, precision processing and appraisement for metering pump which is a kind of gear pump fer synthetic fibers. But the period and cost fur development is not effective, because designers experience many trial and error for the pump design and manufacturing process. Therefore, in order to curtail the period and cut down expenses, the analysis and simulation system is required for a designed metering pump. In this study, the pump simulation software was developed with the visual C++ language and the image processing algorithm, and was investigated through a discharge test for the planetary gear type metering pump.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of changing dimension of a soft tube in a peristaltic pump on deformation, stress and fluid flow rate of the peristaltic pump. Geometries of the peristaltic pump is created in a Catia drawing software based on specifications of a real peristaltic pump. Afterwards, the geometries of this pump is imported into a commercial Ansys software to calculate deformation, stress, and fluid flow rate of this pump. The simulation results showed that the deformation and stress of the soft tube is increased by increasing soft tube diameter from 2 mm to 4 mm. When the tube diameter is increased to 5 mm and tube thickness is reduced to 0.5 mm, the soft tube is damaged. The highest fluid flow rate could be found at the tube thickness and diameter of 1 mm and 4 mm, respectively.

Heat pumps have attracted considerable attention as a green energy system because they use renewable energy, such as geothermal, solar energy and waste heat, and can have a low electricity consumption rate compared to other conventional electric heating system. Many studies of high efficient heat pump system design was performed previously,but it is not easy to find any an analytical model that consists of components (e.g. compressor, heat exchangers, and expansion valve), not only having an interrelation and interconnection each other but also being flexible to any change in geometry and operating parameters. In this study, a computational model was developed for a heat pump with warm air as a heat source using the one-dimensional modeling software, AMESim. In combination with an independently-developed analytical model for a scroll compressor, the heat pump model can simulate the physical characteristics and actual behavior of the heat pump precisely. In addition, the reliability of the model was improved by verifying the simulation results using experimental data. The simulation data fell into the 10% error range compared with the experimental data. The heat pump model can be used for system optimization studies of product development and applied to other applications in a range of industrial field.

The AP1000 reactor coolant pump is a vertical shielded-mixed flow pump, is the most important coolant power supply and energy exchange equipment in nuclear reactor primary circuit system, whose steadystate and transient performance affect the safety of the whole nuclear island. Moreover, safety demonstration of reactor coolant pump is the most important step to judge whether it can be practiced, among which software simulation is the first step of theoretical verification. This paper mainly introduces the fluid-solid coupling simulation method applied to reactor coolant pump, studying the feasibility of simulation results based on workbench fluid-solid coupling technology. The study found that: for the unsteady calculations of the pure liquid media, the average head of the reactor coolant pump with bidirectional fluid-solid coupling decreases to a certain extent. And the coupling result is closer to the real experimental value. The large stress and deformation of rotor under different flow conditions are mainly distributed on impeller and idler, and the stress concentration mainly occurs at the junction of front cover plate and blade outlet. Among the factors that affect the dynamic stress change of rotor, the pressure load takes a dominant position.

This paper provides a methodology for extracting design data from the three-dimensional design software SolidWorks$^{(R)}$, which is based on the existing trochoid pump design equations that are used by hydraulic field engineers. The data extracted from the SolidWorks$^{(R)}$ model are input to a hydraulic analysis software AMESim model to determine the design factors that can influence the properties of a trochoid pump. On the basis of the simulation results, this paper proposes a method to reduce the flow loss by adjusting the outlet angle of the trochoid pump. This proposal was verified by using actual experimental results, which confirmed that adjusting the outlet angle can increase the flow rate. Hence, the results presented in this paper can contribute to the prototyping of a trochoid pump by reducing the cost associated with a trial-and-error design.

Ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP) systems have become an efficient alternative to conventional cooling and heating methods due to their higher energy using efficiency. Although some experimental and simulation works related to performance analysis of GCHP systems for commercial buildings have been done, relatively little has been reported on the performance evaluation of GCHP systems for school buildings. The purpose of this simulation study is to evaluate the performance of a hypothetical GCHP system for a school building in Seoul. We collected various data of building specifications and construction materials for the building and then modeled to calculate hourly building loads with SketchuUp and TRNSYS V17. In addition, we used GLD (Ground Loop Design) V2016, a GCHP system design and simulation software, to design the GCHP system for the building and to simulate temperature of circulating water in ground heat exchanger. The variation of entering source temperature (EST) into the system was calculated with different prediction time and then each result was compared. For 20 years of prediction time, EST for baseline design (Case A) based on the hourly simulation results were outranged from the design criteria.

Compared with internal combustion engine, the electric vehicle has a limitation of low driving range due to low battery capacity due to relatively low energy density. Moreover, the energy consumption rapidly increases up to 30% during winter season with operating electric heater. In this study, electric vehicle performance was evaluated using heat pump having higher energy efficiency rather than electric heater for cabin heating. Electric vehicle system and heat pump system were developed using 1-D simulation software called AMESim, the simulation result indicated that the energy consumption could be reduced approximately 66% when the electric heating system was replaced with the heat pump system. As a result, the driving range is expected to increase the similar value. This study proved the merit of heat pump for cabin heating in electric vehicle, and it could contribute to developing suitable heating method for electric vehicles.

A kind of disk-shape boundary layer pump is designed numerically by using a software of computational fluid dynamics, which is widely used for the special purposes such as artificial hearts, bio-fluidics and transportation of oceanic lives, etc. From the numerical simulation with an axisymmetric model, some benchmark problems are tested and compared with experimental results. The performance of disk pump is graphically visualized from the computational results, and converted to the dimensionless parameters. Finally, the obtained numerical data in the present investigation can be used for the baseline for new design to achieve a more efficient disk pump.
