A mathematical model is built to calculate the transmission power loss and the hydraulic system leakage. Based on this model, a flow-based control strategy is developed for EOP to satisfy the system flow requirement. This control strategy is verified through the forward driving simulation. The results indicate that there is a best combination for the size of mechanical oil pump(MOP) and EOP in terms of minimum energy consumption. In order to get a quick and smooth starting process, control strategies of the EOP and the on-coming clutch are proposed. The test environment on a prototype vehicle is built to verify the feasibility of the integrated EOP and its control strategies. The results show that the selected EOP can satisfy the flow requirement and a quick and smooth starting performance is achieved in the start–stop function. This research has a high value for the forward design of EOP in automatic transmissions with respect to efficiency improvement and start–stop function.展开更多

The worn surface morphologies of rubbing area between pin, bush and roller are also analyzed based on scanning electron microscope. The results show that the main wear mechanism of automotive engine oil-pump chain is fatigue wear, and it＇s failure mechanism is the forming, extending and flaking of cracks on top layer of pin and bush. Pin and bush both occurred cycle-soften phenomenon, and roller occurred cycle-harden. Fretting wear is one of the most important ＂fall to pieces＂ failure causes of automotive chain. Ensuring sufficient strength and plasticity of roller, as well as adopting suitable shaping technology are the effective methods to increase its resistance to multi-cycle impact.展开更多

A total of 22 eyes of 21 patients [1000 centistokes(c St): 17 eyes, 5700 c St:5 eyes] were included in this study. All patients underwent active silicone oil removal via the entire lumen of a 23-gauge microcannula with suction pressure of a650-700 mm Hg vacuum using an external vacuum pump. A tubing adaptor from the Total Plus Pak誖(Alcon,Fort Worth, USA) was used to join the microcannula and silicone vacuum tube connected to an external vacuum pump. Main outcome measures were mean removal time,changes of intraocular pressure(IOP) and visual acuity,and intraoperative and postoperative complications.RESULTS: Mean removal time(min) was 1.49±0.43 for1000 c St and 7. 12 ± 1. 27 for 5700 c St. The IOP was18.57±7.48 mm Hg at baseline, 11.68 ±4.55 mm Hg at day1 postoperatively(P <0.001), and 15.95±4.92, 16.82±3.81,17.41 ±3.50, and 17.09 ±3.01 mm Hg after one week, one month, three months, and six months, respectively. All patients showed improved or stabilized visual acuity.There was no occurrence of intraoperative or postoperative complications during the follow up period.CONCLUSION: This technique for active removal of silicone oil through a 23-gauge cannula using an external vacuum pump is fast, effective, and safe as well as economical for silicone oil with both low and high viscosity in all eyes with pseudophakia, aphakia, or phakia.展开更多

I...Complexity arises when trying to maximize oil productions from fields using Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP). The complexity increases with the increase in the number of reservoirs and wells in a particular field. Individual well’s ESP frequencies have to be constantly updated to ensure optimum oil productions from the field. The choice of the ESP frequency to be used must come from sound engineering decisions which do not come from mere intuition but must be backed up by mathematical models and computer simulations. This study proposes to evaluate field production network optimization on ESP lifted wells using quadratic sequential programming techniques. The optimization approach seeks to determine the ESP frequency for each well that will lead to the maximum field oil production while honouring the field operational constraints. Two reservoirs and five wells were considered. The non-linear optimization problem for the ESP lifted wells in the field was formulated with their boundary conditions. The simulations were performed in Prosper and GAP software. Prosper software was used in building the individual well’s ESP models for the five wells in the field. Individual well’s model in Prosper was exported to GAP and simulations were run in GAP for the field network system. GAP simulations were run in two cases: case 1 comprises ESP simulation without optimization while case 2 comprises ESP simulation with optimization. For case 1, fixed values of ESP frequency were selected for each well and the GAP software calculates the production rates from the wells in the network accruing from the ESP frequencies inputted. For case 2, there was no input ESP frequency as the GAP software was allowed to calculate based on optimization algorithms, the best suitable ESP frequencies for each well in the field that will lead to the maximum total oil production in the field network while honouring the operational constraint imposed on the systems in the field. From the results, it was realized that at the basis of well, the higher the ESP frequency, the higher the well’s production rates. Sensitivities on the effects of separator pressure on production rates show that separator pressures affect the well’s productions rates. A reduction in separator pressure from 200 psig to 80 psig led to a 1.69% increase in field oil rate. Comparison of results for case 1 and case 2 showed that ESP field network simulation with optimization yields had a higher field production rate than ESP field network simulations without optimization. There was an increase in oil rate of 1.16% and 2.66% for constraints 1 and 2 when ESP simulation was done with optimization rather than without optimization. Also, simulation with optimization comes with higher pump efficiency than simulation without optimization.展开更多
