Head-flow and npsh performance of an axial piston pump working with organic fluids at different temperatures

A modified version of the standard axial piston pump, normally used with fuels, has been tested with organic fluids R11 and R113. Head-flow characteristics, volumetric and global efficiency, and npsh curves, have been determined at different speeds and fluid temperatures and the results compared with those obtained with kerosene. Pump efficiencies remain satisfactory with high density, very low viscosity and high vapour pressure fluids. In the absence of cavitation, pump performance seems to be a function of kinematic viscosity, while the npsh curves appear to be a complex function of density, viscosity and vapour pressure     

Effecfs of Cross-Correlation Between Real Noise in Transient Process of Single-Mode and Imaginary Parts of Colored Pump Laser

A two-dimensional single-mode laser model with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts of the colored quadric pump noise is investigated. A novel laser amplitude Langevin equation is obtained, in which the cross-correlation λp between the real and imaginary parts of the pump noise appears. The mean, variance, and skewness of first-passage-time are calculated. It is shown that the mean, variance, and skewness of first-passage-time are strongly affected by λp.     

Metal–Organic Framework Membrane Nanopores as Biomimetic Photoresponsive Ion Channels and Photodriven Ion Pumps

Biological ion channels and ion pumps with sub-nanometer sizes modulate ion transport in response to external stimuli. Realizing such functions with sub-nanometer solid-state nanopores has been an important topic with wide practical applications. Herein, we demonstrate a biomimetic photoresponsive ion channel and photodriven ion pump using a porphyrin-based metal–organic framework membrane with pore sizes comparable to hydrated ions. We show that the molecular-size pores enable precise and robust optoelectronic ion transport modulation in a broad range of concentrations, unparalleled with conventional solid-state nanopores. Upon decoration with platinum nanoparticles to form a Schottky barrier photodiode, photovoltage across the membrane is generated with “uphill” ion transport from low concentration to high concentration. These results may spark applications in energy conversion, ion sieving, and artificial photosynthesis.

Performance of a small air-lift pump

Pumping of liquids using two-phase flow has been examined experimentally in small air-lift pumps with 12—19 mm bore plexiglass tubes. An air injection system was devised to create and maintain ‘perfect’ slug flow in the vertical riser tube. An equation has been derived, based on momentum conservation considerations, which correlates well with the measurements obtained. Slip variation, or liuid holdup, between the two phases and the formation of the ‘entrance’ section part of the pump (suction pipe) were taken into consideration. Unlike its predecessors, this equation predicts the reversal in the pump performance curve observed experimentally.     

Prediction of the performance of air-lift pumps

Equations are developed for predicting the performance of air-lift pumps. The form of the equations allows simple expressions to be obtained for conditions at the ‘maximum flow rate condition’
