Construction and Application of an Experimental Platform for Gas-liquid Two-phase Flow and Heat Transfer in Lubricating Oil Pump
An experimental platform is designed and developed to assess the flow,heat transfer,and cavitation performance of the gas-liquid two-phase flow in the lubricating oil pump.The gas-liquid two-phase flow characteristics of the rotary vane pump under the gas-entrained oil inlet condition are investigated using the developed platform.The study obtains data on the suction and discharge oil flow rate,frequency characteristics of the pump outlet pressure,frequency characteristics of the pump vibration acceleration,and the impact of inlet flow pattern on the suction and discharge performance of the rotary vane pump.The findings demonstrate that the experimental platform can fully meet the experimental requirements for the gas-liquid two-phase flow and heat transfer characteristics in the lubricating oil pump as well as the experimental teaching for graduate students within the energy and power filed.
