    In order to analyze the influence of different impeller structure on the performance of engine cooling pump,an unshrouded and a shrouded impeller were designed respectively for an engine cooling pump. The full 3D flow simulations were conducted for internal flow of impeller using Fluent 6.2 for these two configurations. And the shrouded impeller was chosen for test verification,and the reliability of the simulation results was validated. The test results show that,the hydraulic efficiency of shrouded impeller is higher. The numerical simulation results show that the static pressures in both impellers increase from inlet to outlet gradually,but there is an obviously low pressure area at the inlet of the unshrouded impeller,which is liable to cavitation. On the other hand,there are remarkable vortex and secondary flows in the unshrouded impeller,whereas the flow in the shrouded impeller is more stable. So it can be seen that,the structure of impeller has greater influence on the pump performance,therefore, use of shrouded impeller is more helpful to improvement of hydraulic performance of the engine cooling pump.

    To increase the flow rate of the centrifugal fan used in the air purifier,an optimization process was proposed based on Kriging model and genetic algorithm. 25 sets of schemes containing the outlet angle of the volute θ,radius of tongue r and the cutoff clearance t were designed using the orthogonal experiment methods. The steady numerical simulation of the 25 sets of volute schemes was carried out using ANSYS FLUENT software. The flow rate of the fan system was selected as the optimization design objective.The Kriging approximation models between the flow rate and the three parameters of the volute were built. And,the genetic algorithm was used to optimize the approximation models to obtain the optimum parameters of the volute. By simulation tests on the optimized volute,the flow rate of the fan was increased by 19.683%.Meanwhile,by comparing the distribution of such parameters as internal speed,total pressure,of the fan before and after optimization,the velocity distribution inside the optimized volute was more reasonable and the flow loss was relatively small at the tongue.The optimization method of volute proposed can provide an effective reference for the improvement of centrifugal fan performance.

    In order to improve the calculation accuracy and efficiency of the leakage rate of the annular clearance seal when sealing oil,an accurate numerical calculation method was obtained through grid independence test and experimental verification.Based on this method,the theoretical calculation research under the influence of different key factors(surface roughness,axial taper,eccentricity and circumferential linear velocity) was carried out. The results show that in industrial application,the oil flow in the clearance is mostly laminar flow,the number of oil film grid layers is not less than 4,and when the aspect ratio is 1~1.5,the numerical result is stable;when the oil flow is laminar flow,the surface roughness has no effect on the leakage rate,when it is turbulent flow,the greater the roughness,the smaller the leakage rate;the convergence or divergence of the clearance is almost independent of the leakage,and the leakage rate obtained by multiplying the comprehensive film thickness by 2 is almost in good agreement with the numerical results;the calculated deviation between the two methods increases with the increase of eccentricity,and the agreement is good when the eccentricity is no more than 0.2 mm;the leakage rate decreases obviously with the increase of rotating speed,which is different from the general conclusion.

    Based on the built performance test rig of the electric automotive heat pump air conditioning system,the effects of variation in EXV opening on condensation and evaporation pressure,subcooling,air outlet temperature of heat pump,heating capacity,compressor power consumption and coefficient of performance (COP) were experimentally investigated. The results show that under the condition of fixed compressor rotational speed,condenser air inlet temperature and air flow rate,as the EXV opening increased,the condensing pressure decreased,but the change in evaporating pressure was relatively small,and subcooling,heating capacity and air outlet temperature of heat pump all decreased and their decrease magnitudes became gentle when the EXV opening increased to a certain extent,and the compressor power consumption decreased at first and then remained basically unchanged,and the system COP increased first then decreased. When the air outlet subcooling of the condenser was relatively big,the air outlet temperature of the heat pump could be effectively adjusted by changing the EXV opening,and when the opening was relatively small, increasing EXV opening was conducive to obtaining a higher COP. The research results can provide a reference for the regulation and control strategy of the performance of the air conditioning system of pure electric automotive heat pump.

    Fluid-structure interaction refers to the phenomenon of interaction between fluid and solid,which is manifested as fluid acts on solid to deform or displace it,while solid acts on fluid to cause the change of flow field. In valves,when the fluid-structure interaction phenomenon reaches a certain degree,it will damage valves and many parts connected with valves,and eventually lead to the decline of the working efficiency and even failure of valves.In order to understand the fluid-structure interaction phenomena in valves more comprehensively,the current research status at home and abroad were reviewed from the aspects of fluidstructure interaction theory,experimental method and numerical simulation.Firstly,the mechanism of fluid-structure interaction was introduced;secondly,the characteristics of single-field analysis and fluid-structure interaction analysis were explained, and the advantages of fluid-structure interaction were pointed out.At the same time,the application of different test methods and components in the research of fluid-structure interaction of valves was summarized.In addition,in the numerical simulation, according to the direction of data transmission,the unidirectional fluid-structure interaction simulation and bidirectional fluidstructure interaction simulation were introduced;according to the number of interaction fields and in combination with the related work of valve research,the double-field interaction and multi-field interaction were introduced.

    During the daily operation of the high-pressure multistage centrifugal pump,under the condition of sufficient inlet pressure(cavitation allowance of the device),cavitation still occurs in the pump,which causes some noise and vibration,in severe cases,the shaft is even locked and cannot rotate.When repairing the pump,it is often found that the surface of guide vane,volute and wear ring and other area have different degrees of cavitation damage.The cause of cavitation in the clearance and the effect on the pump components are preliminarily analyzed first,then CFD computation software is used to simulate the cavitation generation process in the clearance,and finally the solutions to improve the clearance cavitation are proposed.It is of great significance for long-term safe and stable operation of multistage centrifugal pump.

The external performance of the centrifugal fan was predicted through CFD simulation,the pressure,velocity,turbulent energy distribution at middle section of impeller and fan outlet,and the pressure pulsation at the impeller inlet and outlet were obtained and analyzed comparatively. The results show that as the outlet blade angle increases,the pressure and efficiency of the fan increase in the flow range of 420~725 m3/h.The area of the low-speed zone at the fan outlet increases,the uniformity of the total pressure at the volute outlet and the volute tongue area decreases,and the vorticity in the impeller flow passage increases. Meanwhile,the pressure pulsation amplitude of the impeller inlet and outlet has a certain degree of reduction at the blade frequency and its multiple frequencies. In order to obtain a fan wit better aerodynamic and noise performance,it is necessary to control the blade outlet angle within a reasonable range.The research results prove a better guidance for the design of aerodynamic performance and noise reduction performance of the fan.

    Many pumps run between the critical cavitation condition and the initial cavitation condition for a long period of time, which will cause damage such as pitting erosion and perforation on the blade surface,thus making the pump unable to reach the expected life due to cavitation.In this paper,a single-stage single-suction centrifugal pump was selected as the research object, and unsteady cavitation was calculated numerically based on k-ε turbulence model and Zwart cavitation model.The determination of initial cavitation was based on the cavitation just occurred on the blade surface,and no influence of the bubble produced on the external characteristics.Moreover,the volume fraction of the vapor body was taken as a variable,and the volume fraction of the vapor body in the cavitation region was based on 10%,which was used as the determination basis of initial cavitation.The results show that the initial cavitation allowance first decreases slowly with the increase of flow rate,and the cavitation allowance corresponding to the initial cavitation point is the smallest under the rated flow rate condition,and then increases slowly with the further increase of flow rate.Through analysis,it was put forward to arrange a pump suction system to make its NPSHa greater than the initial cavitation allowance (NPSHR),namely the NPSHa>NPSHR,and plus safety margin based on initial cavitation allowance value (NPSHR) make the pump run under the working condition of completely no cavitation,and further make the pump does not shorten its life expectancy due to cavitation.

    At present,the structural optimization of the cyclone separator is mainly limited to the single-factor optimization of the control variable method,which can not accurately reflect the separation efficiency of the cyclone separator under the comprehensive factor condition,and the subtle changes in the structure and the interaction are difficult to control,therefore,it is difficult to further improve its separation efficiency. In order to solve this problem,a parameter optimization method based on response surface method was proposed for the first stage cyclone separator in catalytic cracking unit. The structural parameters of the cyclone separator were optimized by using the inclination angle α of taper pipe section,the inserting depth s of the exhaust pipe and the diameter De of the exhaust pipe,which have significant influence on separation efficiency,as the design variables and by using the separation efficiency and the pressure drop as the objective function. The results show that the efficiency of the cyclone separator was increased from the original 84.3% to 90.4% by using the response surface optimization method,and the velocity,pressure drop and separation efficiency before and after optimization were compared and analyzed. The response surface optimization method can intelligently optimize the combination of structural parameters from global perspective,shorten the CAD modeling and grid division time,and can achieve interactive optimization at the same time under multi-parameter conditions,effectively improving the efficiency;through numerical simulation and test, it was proved that the separation efficiency of optimized cyclone separator was better than that before optimization,the optimized cyclone separator has good symmetry of the velocity distribution,big speed difference and high separation efficiency,and can complete full separation task of smaller particles (particle size=12 μm) those before optimization.

    The efficiency of the reciprocating compressor is mainly determined by air valves.The unsteady flow of the gas causes the abnormal movement (flutter and delayed closing) of the valve,and is also the main cause of the loss of gas flow. In this paper,the standard k-ε model is used to numerically simulate the flow field of suction valve and the ratio of inlet area to outlet area. The results show that the vortex areas on both sides of the valve outlet increase with the inclination angle of suction valve port,which will cause higher pressure loss of fluid. In addition,the smaller the ratio of the inlet area to outlet flow area of the suction valve,the less the pressure loss of the fluid. Finally,the correctness of the simulation was verified by tests.

    The performance of oil-gas separator of scroll compressor for electric vehicle air conditioner plays a significant role in the stable operation of the air conditioning system and the lubrication and sealing of compressor. In view of small size of such oil-gas separator,it is required to have the characteristics of low pressure drop,high separating efficiency and wide application range of rotational speed. In order to explore the internal flow law,pressure drop and separation efficiency with the change of rotational speed,the Reynolds stress model (RSM) suitable for strongly swirling flow was chosen firstly,and the streamline diagram and velocity distribution of the fluid in the oil-gas separator were simulated. The DPM model was used to simulate the gas-liquid two-phase flow,and calculate the separation efficiency and fluid pressure drop of the lubricating oil in the oil-gas separator. The analysis results show that the gas performs quasi-free vortex flow and quasi-forced vortex flow in the oil-gas separator. The separation efficiency increases with the increase of the oil droplet size. When the compressor speed is low,the separation efficiency decreases sharply with the decrease of the rotational speed,and the pressure drop increases in proportion to the square of the rotational speed. Finally, the method for optimizing the design of the electric scroll compressor oil-gas separator was given.

The PLC, combined with frequency converters, has been used as control-system of the new control strategy. In addition, the intelligent variable-pressure control was realized by modeling water demand estimation for piping system, variable-pressure control and the pump increased or decreased control, based on energy-efficiency condition. Suggested by the experiment results, the water demand estimation model is reliable with high sensibility and accuracy up to 90%. Besides, the control effect and energy-efficiency of pumps are improved effectively owing to the optimization control strategy.

    In order to study the effect of blade thickness distribution on the performance of the centrifugal pump,three models of different blade thickness distribution were designed with other parameters of the volute and impeller fixed. The external characteristic and pressure pulsation were obtained by using steady-state and unsteady numerical simulations,respectively,and comparative analysis was made in combination with the internal flow structure. The results show that the parabolic non-uniform blade thickness distribution can significantly improve the performance of the centrifugal pump. Compared with the initial model,the model with larger thickness increases the head by 0.38 m and the efficiency by 3.07% under design conditions. The non-uniform blade thickness distribution can improve the flow field in the pump. By reducing the variation gradient of the blade load at the middle of the impeller,the axial vortex between the blades is effectively reduced,but the flow separation at the trailing edge is aggravated to a certain extent.The main frequency of unsteady pressure pulsation in the pump is concentrated on the blade passing frequency. Due to the nonuniform blade thickness distribution,the amplitudes of pressure pulsation at different position in the pump can be effectively reduced.Compared with the initial model,the average pulsation amplitudes at blade passing frequency of the two thickness optimization models are reduced by 21.7% and 33.5%,respectively,which weakens the flow-induced vibration of the pump during operation.

    By taking a single-stage centrifugal compressor as the research object,a real-time monitoring system for the dynamic operation characteristics of the compressor was established.The surge experiment was carried out by controlling the opening of the exhaust regulating valve.Based on this,the active control casing injection (ACCI) for stability enhancement was designed and realized,and the surge margin was improved by hole-injecting high-speed air flow into the impeller passage.The research results show that the amplitude of pressure fluctuation at the outlet is much higher than that at the inlet,and the initial moment when the flow in the intake pipe enters the deep surge lags behind the initial moment when the flow in the exhaust pipe enters the deep surge.The casing injection increases the exhaust pressure while increasing the surge margin,and the increase of the injection massflow makes the stability enhancement effect more significant.The casing injection improves the flow condition in the region near the blade tip.

    For the key O-ring seal in current blind mating fluid connector for an equipment could not be plugged under pressure when the connector was turned on and it was in the flow passage,and a filter device needs to be equipped,the causes for potential reliability and safety risks and problems occurring in use were analyzed. The working principle of a new type of blind mating connector was introduced. All the seal rings were not exposed in the fluid with relatively large speed when the connector was turned on,they are not easy to damage due to plugging misoperation under certain pressure and the requirements for purity of the cooling liquid are low,which makes them possible to work without filtration assistors. In the final part,the related verification experiments for the new connector were introduced.

    The change of working condition puts forward higher requirements to the optimization of air source heat pump system, and the ambient temperature as an important influence parameter need a large number of experiments to find its influence rule to the air source heat pump water heater to make the corresponding control strategy. In this paper, air-source heat pump water heater experiment is carried out in different simulated ambient temperature. It could be concluded by analyzed the result that the superheat temperature decreases with the decreasing of ambient temperature, the heating capacity of the system is related to the superheat degree. The lower the superheat temperature is, the larger the heating capacity is. The heating capacity begins to drop when the superheat temperature is 0℃. Moreover, as the ambient temperature decreases, the pressure ratio of the system increases, the exhaust gas temperature rises and the superheat temperature decrease. Compressor suction liquid entrainment will increase the power consumption, but it can effectively reduce the exhaust temperature. Furthermore, the average COP of COPa is decreased with the decrease of ambient temperature. In sum, the lower the temperature is, the worse the heating effect is, and the longer the heating time is.

    In view of the problem that outdoor heat exchanger frosting of electric vehicle heat pump system will seriously degrade the system performance and increase the instability,based on the study of the reverse cycle defrosting mode commonly used in automobiles,a hot gas bypass defrosting system was designed and built. The defrosting performance of the two modes under different environmental conditions was experimentally studied,and the operation characteristics of the two defrosting modes were analyzed,and the range of electric vehicle under two defrosting modes was estimated by theoretical derivation. The results show that,at 5 ~ -5 ℃ ambient temperature,the reverse cycle defrosting time is 80~400 s,and the average power consumption during the defrosting is 618~1 008 W. The hot gas bypass defrosting takes 350~600 s,and the average power consumption is 1 383 ~ 1 621 W. Compared with the reverse cycle defrosting,the hot gas bypass defrosting time increases by 200~270 s,the power consumption increases by 613~765 W,and the range decreases by 1.9%~3.8%. However,it is beneficial to ensure the comfort in the cabin during the defrosting process. When the ambient temperature is below 0 ℃,closing the outdoor heat exchanger fan during the defrosting process can reduce the air side heat transfer loss and improve the defrosting efficiency.

    Concerning the fan system with the long pipelines connected on the inlet and outlet,the structural vibration noise is the main component of the external radiated noise,and is caused by the volute vibration which is excited by the unsteadyflow.Based on the vibrational noise of fan volute casing,a method of numerical calculation of unidirectional coupling of fluid-structure-sound was proposed,and the rationality of this method was verified by vibration measurement of the volute casing.Then the positions of the noise source of the volute casing was studied and revealed applying the panel acoustic contribution analysis (PACA) method. It can be concluded that the vibrational noise of volute casing at blade passing frequency (BPF) is predominant,and the normal vibration of the volute was the decisive factor that determined the volute surface acoustic radiation.The analysis results of the PACA of each component of the volute show that the outlet of the side volute close to the volute tongue area,and the volute front and back panel at 180° near the volute tongue,were the main noise source regions.

    For the problem of the severe cavitation caused by the water droplet labyrinth regulating valve in the super-(super-) critical unit under high temperature and high pressure conditions, based on the theory of computational fluid dynamics and cavitation mechanism, the standard k-ε turbulence model, Mixture model and Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model were selected to compare the structural performance of the control valves before and after improvement at typical openings in terms of pressure, velocity, gas volume fraction, etc. The calculation results show that the original disc structure has a large pressure drop, up to 19.95 MPa at maximum, and a high flow rate, up to 237 m/s at maximum, which leads to severe cavitation, and the gas phase volume fraction is even as high as 1. The maximum pressure drop in the disc flow passage was reduced by 52.5%, the maximum speed was reduced by 38.8%, and the maximum gas phase volume fraction was reduced to 0.18. It was proved that increasing the cofferdam can effectively control the pressure drop and flow velocity in the valve and reduce the degree of cavitation damage. In addition, appropriately increasing the height of the cofferdam is conducive to suppressing the occurrence of cavitation, but an excessively high height will cause the cavitation area to shift to the cofferdam, and at the same time, an unstable flow field will be formed, which will affect the valve opening and closing characteristics.

    The orbiting scroll of the existing electric scroll compressor is subjected to axial gas force and axial balance force in the direction of the spindle axis,and the axial balance force frequently changes due to the operation of the electric scroll compressor often under variable speed conditions,resulting in instability of the axial stress of the orbiting scroll,which further influences the compressor performance.For this problem,the transient process of lubricating oil stirring in the back pressure chamber of the balance weight at different speeds was simulated using FLUENT sliding grid technology,and the speed cloud and streamline diagram of the lubricating oil were obtained,and it was found that the stirring of the balance weight would cause periodical fluctuation of the axial balance force,and as the rotational speed increases,the axial balance force increases and the average axial balance force decreases. Finally,in combination with the variation law of axial balance force and axial gas force with the rotation angle of the main shaft,the optimization design method of coordinated superposition of variable phase and axial force was proposed. It was found that the method can reduce the amplitude of the axial balance force and make the orbiting scroll run more smoothly, which can provide a basis for the design of the electric scroll compressor.

    The radiator with heat pipe and the radiator without heat pipe were designed on the hot ends of two types of semiconductor cooler--TEC1-12704 and TEC1-12706, at the same time, the experimental device for two-stage cooling radiator with heat pipe was designed under the condition of separated current input, and the influence of hot end heat dissipation condition on the cold end temperature was analyzed by the experiment. The experimental results show that the radiator with a heat pipe for dissipation heat can enhance the heat dissipation at the hot end. The cold end temperature of the semiconductor cooler is related to the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator. Under the condition of limited heat dissipation capacity, the temperature of the cold end first increases and then decreases with the increase of the input current. Under the condition of ensuring the heat dissipation capacity, the temperature of the cold end decreases with the increase of the input current, and decreases with the decrease of the temperature of the hot end. The minimum temperature of the cold end can reach -38.6℃ when two-stage refrigeration with separated current input is adopted for the two-sheet TEC1-12706 semiconductor cooler. The experimental results show that improving the heat dissipation conditions of the hot end can improve the performance of the monolithic semiconductor cooler. At the same time, the temperature of the cold end can be substantially reduced by using two-stage refrigeration with separated current input under the optimal heat dissipation condition, which is of great significance to improve the working temperature difference of semiconductor cooler.

    Impeller parameters have great effect on the performance of the cross flow fan. Based on the blade provided by a company,the influences of several important blade parameters such as leading radiu(Ri),rear radiu(Ro),blade tilt angle (a) and camber angle(γ) on the flow field and performance of the cross flow fan,has been studied by two-dimensional steady simulation.The results show that,the ratio of Ri and Ro has great effect on boundary-layer separation of the blade surface,the boundary layer separation is inhibited and higher outlet flow rate is obtained when Ri/Ro >1. Blade tilt angle a of the prototype blade can be chosen in the ranges 25° ≤ a ≤ 30°,and in which range,the fluctuation of the impeller inlet flow decreases with a increases. The greater the camber angle γ,the more the impeller works on the airflow. Moreover,when γ is equal to 90°,the flow rate achieves the maximum of 716.47 m3/h,enhanced 4.04% compared to the original impeller.
