dc.description.abstract |
The objective of this study was to develop a numerical solution method for flow analysis
of a gear pump with various boundary conditions and rotational speeds of gears. Flow
variable contours and plots were obtained for fluid flow inside a gear pump subject to
pressure inlet and pressure outlet conditions using the numerical control volume method
in the commercial package FLUENT. Gears with different magnitudes of pressure outlets
and rotational speeds were analyzed. Currently, no solutions that report the numerical
turbulent flow analysis of gear pumps are available in the literature.
It is important to the design engineer that accurate methods are available to determine
various flow parameters such as pressure, velocity, turbulence, flow rate etc. for the flow
analysis of the gear pump. The method developed in this work was compared with the
general data of P3l5 external gear pump manufactured by Parker Hannifin Corporation,
as a validation of the numerical model.
An engineer will be able to use the solution method developed in this work for the
analysis of flow parameters inside a gear pump in order to achieve its optimum design.
Another benefit of this work is to demonstrate to practicing engineers that FLUENT has
the capability of solving turbulent flow analysis of gear pumps by using its Moving
Dynamic Mesh method. Students can follow this thesis to solve the dynamic mesh
problem step by step. This work should be considered a small subset of numerical
analysis of flow in gear pumps. It is expected that the results presented in this research
provide important information for the extension to a three dimensional analysis of a
similar problem. |
