Abstract

Cavitation is a major issue in centrifugal pumps because it impacts their performance and efficiency. Experimental research was conducted to investigate the effect of the number of impeller blades and mass flow rate on the cavitation phenomenon in centrifugal pumps, as well as to characterize them. The Ebara brand centrifugal pump type 65x50 FSS4JA used in the TCU installation of the Casting Machine has a number of blades of 4 and 6 with a fixed inclination angle of 60° as the object of research. The fluid mass flow rate varies with values ​​of 1.67 kg/s, 3.33 kg/s, 5.67 kg/s, and 7.33 kg/s. The research findings show that the highest cavitation occurs in the centrifugal pump with 4 blades, with an NPSH value reaching 2.02 at a mass flow rate of 5.67 kg/s, while the lowest value is found in the pump with 6 blades with an NPSH of 1.88 at a mass flow rate of 7.33 kg/s. A 6-blade centrifugal pump operating at a mass flow rate of 7.33 kg/s demonstrated the best results in this study and is feasible for field application.

Abstract

Vortex generators (VGs) are an effective method for improving the thermal performance of heat exchangers. This study aims to optimize the heat transfer rate by employing VGs, where airflow passes over a heated cylinder within a rectangular duct equipped with vortex generators. An experimental approach was conducted to investigate the enhancement of heat transfer using concave delta winglet (CDW) and delta winglet (DW) VGs, compared to the baseline condition without VGs. The experiments involved variations in the angle of attack (β) at 10°, one VG pairs, and the arrangement types (in-line and staggered). The cylinder was heated with a constant power of 35 W, reaching a surface temperature of 38 °C, and airflow velocities ranged from 0.4 to 2 m/s. Temperature measurements were taken at the inlet, outlet, and cylinder surface using thermocouples. The research results indicate a significant enhancement in the convective heat transfer coefficient when using vortex generators (VGs). Among the various configurations tested, the staggered concave delta winglet pair (CDW) arrangement demonstrated the highest values in terms of convective heat transfer coefficient, friction factor ratio, and performance evaluation criterion (PEC), followed by the in-line CDW, staggered delta winglet pair (DW), and in-line DW configurations. The highest convective heat transfer coefficient was observed in the staggered CDW configuration, reaching 16.02%. The friction factor ratio (f/fo) for this configuration was 108.67%. The highest PEC value, 26.34%, was achieved with a single staggered CDW pair at a Reynolds number of Re = 11,000.
