Abstract

In order to simplify the manufacture of multiphase pump and improve the operating flexibility for gas void fraction (GVF) of the multiphase fluids that the pump transported, an eccentric rotary multiphase pump (ERMP) is presented. In this study, the structural characteristics and working principle of the ERMP are presented first. Then, the kinematic and force models are established for the key components- sliding vane and rotor. The velocity, acceleration, and force equations with shaft rotation angle are derived for each component. Based on the established models, simulations are performed for an ERMP prototype. The simulated results show that the areas opposite the sliding vane and apart from the center of the rotor have larger velocities and wear problem. Moreover, the binding force, pressure difference induced force and the normal force exercise a negative effect on the friction at the sliding vane sides and rotor. Lower shaft speed and smaller eccentric distance of the crankshaft are helpful to reduce this effect. The findings confirm that the proposed ERMP is suitable for multiphase transportation and has a higher mechanical efficiency for its advanced structure and working principle.

Abstract

During the operation of the engine rotor, the vibration signal measured by the sensor is the mixed signal of each vibration source, and contains strong noise at the same time. In this paper, a new separation method for mixed vibration signals in strong noise environment (such as SNR=-5) is proposed. Firstly, the time-delay auto-correlation de-noising method is used to de-noise the mixed signals, and then one common algorithm (MSNR algorithm is used here) is adopted to separate the mixed vibration signals, which can improves the separation performance. The simulation results verify the validity of the method. The proposed method provides a new idea for health monitoring and fault diagnosis of engine rotor vibration signals.
