Swirling Fluidized Bed (SFB) is one of the liquid-solid interaction in fluidization improved from conventional systems. This system is usually viewable in the power generation, chemical industry, material production and drying processes. Inside the SFB, there is annular blade distributor which will cause the air to pass through and create a swirl motion on the bed. The energy consumption of a fluidized bed system depends on the distributor’s design. The current study has purpose a new design that applies to existing designs of blade inclination angle. The simulation study was conducted using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to obtain the result of velocity distribution and pressure drops on various blade distributor designs. This study uses two (2) twist angle (80° and 100°) via number of blade distributor (40, 50 and 60). In this study, tangential velocity is the main velocity component by reason of the velocity represents the rotating air velocity in fluidization system. Overall, the design of the 100° twist angle and 40 blades distributor are the best distributors of blades compared to others.

The development and design of a spring-type fixture play a critical role in enhancing the precision and efficiency of manufacturing processes that require repetitive assembly or testing. This research focuses on the design, and fabrication of a spring-loaded fixture aimed at improving workpiece positioning, alignment, and clamping accuracy in various industrial applications. By integrating a spring mechanism, the fixture provides adaptive flexibility, enabling consistent pressure and secure holding, thereby minimizing operator-induced errors and increasing production throughput. The study presents a detailed analysis of the fixture's mechanical design, including the selection of materials, and dimensions while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Cutting simulations are conducted using MasterCAM software to assess toolpath accuracy and detect potential collisions, optimizing the fixture’s functionality. The results demonstrate that the spring-type fixture achieves significant improvements in repeatability and precision, particularly in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics. This design contributes to the advancement of fixture technology by offering a solution that enhances both operational consistency and efficiency in high-precision manufacturing environments.

The thermal management in the electronic device or system using the heat sink is important to ensure the device or system operating under the allowable temperature. The present study aims to investigate the thermal characteristic (i.e., temperature distribution) of the various heat sink designs via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The electronic cooling process of the heat sink is carried out via CFD software. The temperature distribution of the various heat sink designs (i.e., plate fin, circular pin fin and rectangular fin) was analyzed and compared. The CFD analysis revealed the plate fin heat sink has lowest temperature distribution on the fin region. High temperature distribution was observed on the pin fin heat sink. The non-uniform temperature distribution was attributed by the direction of inlet airflow, whereas the low temperature was found in the region that close to the inlet airflow. Thus, the research findings indicated the design of heat sink significantly affects the temperature distribution during the electronic cooling process.

Simulation Analysis of the Thickness Effect towards Mechanical Aspects in the Design of Centrifugal Pump Casing

2020-07-09 , Khor Chu Yee , Mohd Al-Hafiz Mohd Nawi , Muhammad Ikman Ishak , Ooi Z.K. , Mohd Uzair Mohd Rosli , Siti Nor Azreen Ahmad Termizi

The strength of the centrifugal pump is crucial to ensure the safe pump operating when endure to unintended pumping condition. The presence of the solid particles and sudden increase of pressure may lead to the damage on the casing of a centrifugal pump and it becomes critical when the thickness of the casing is thin. This study aims to investigate the effects of the thickness on the mechanical aspects such as stress, strain and displacement in the casing design by using finite element (FE) analysis. The structure of the pump casing with various thicknesses is analyzed via FE-based software. The correlation of the wall thickness with the mechanical aspects is studied. The critical region with high stress was spotted in the simulation. The simulation results revealed the wall thickness demonstrated a polynomial correlation to the displacement and strain. The stress of the casing showed the linear correlation with the thickness. The critical region was noticed at the intersection region of the pump casing. The mechanical aspects of the pump casing were improved with the increment of the wall thickness in the pump casing design.
