Transient Flow-Induced Stress Investigation on a Prototype Reversible Pump–Turbine Runner

Energies
Pump–turbine units with high heads are subjected to strong pressure pulsations from the unsteady transient flow in fluid channels, which can produce severe vibrations and high stresses on the pump–turbine structural components.

Failure investigation of a large pump-turbine runner [PDF]

Engineering Failure Analysis, 2012
A failure investigation was conducted on a high-pressure machine with a large pump-turbine runner that was 2.9 m in diameter and had a maximum discharge rate of 32 m 3 /s. A part of the runner broke off during operation. This released a piece of the crown, which went through the machine, causing further damage. An analysis of the broken runner revealed

Causal‐Guided Ultra‐Long‐Term Time Series Forecasting Via Anticipated Covariates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Often treated as unknown, information from the future remains underutilized.We demonstrate that in a coupled dynamical system, providing the future state of the effect enables accurate forecasting of the cause for a long timesteps. A time series forecasting paradigm that introduces anticipated covariates to represent such known future states is ...

Maximizing the Energy Output of Soft Electrohydraulic Generators

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Many energy resources cannot be viably harvested with electromagnetic generators. This article evaluates the potential of soft electrohydraulic generators as an alternative approach for energy capture. An analytical model charts their operational limits and a rigorous experimental study results in new performance benchmarks with maximum specific energy

Research on Diaphragm Pump Fault Diagnosis Method Based on Res‐DCB‐Net

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonstationary pressure pulsation signals of diaphragm pumps contain strong background noise and coupled characteristics. This makes it challenging to extract incipient fault features and to decouple faults with similar physical mechanisms. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a spatiotemporal fault diagnosis model named Res‐DCB ...
