Hydrodynamic transmission operating with two-phase flow

Abstract: Heavy automotive vehicles and automobiles are, almost exclusively, equipped with automatic hydrodynamic transmissions. This article is devoted to one of the possibilities to control the operation of hydrodynamic transmissions through partially filling the torque converter with liquid. The investigation was centred on torque converters with two-phase flows, namely oil-air. There are proposed theoretical, numerical models and an experimental facility, testing rig, was erected.The obtained results are in the hydr… Show more

“…Due to their low weight and acceptable mechanical properties, aluminum-based alloys are widely used in industrial applications, including the automotive, aircraft and pleasure craft industries [1,2]. This paper aims to extend the application to parts working in cavitation currents, with complex geometry, such as: propellers [3] for boats and boat engines, as well as rotors for pumps for domestic use [4][5][6][7]. This expansion is possible due to new technologies and mechanical processing equipment according to complex spatial contours, based on numerical control and computer control [8].…”

“…Aluminum-based alloys, known as hard-aluminum, are widely used in the food, automotive, aviation and marine industries [1,2]. Although, these alloys are known for its usage in parts with low intensity mechanical stresses, the practice has shown, that they also have application in components exposed to hydrodynamically stresses, such as the ones created by cavitation [3][4][5][6][7]. Such components are: aircraft wings and hubs, pump rotors used in domestic wells and in the car engines cooling system, the aft part of the boats where the vortex of the cavitation occurs, such as engine's propellers of the ships and recreation boats.…”

“…As a result of extensive studies and researches [1][2][3][4][5], the bronzes have retained their place in industrial applications, especially when exploitation takes place in aggressive chemical environments, such as the propellers of sea and ocean vessels, where the utilization rate has reached about 82%. Alloying with chemical elements and technological processes, developed over time, have given bronzes properties that have led to the manufacture of other components such as [1,3,[8][9][10][11][12]: hydraulic machine rotors, valves, fittings, etc., operating in hydrodynamic, cavitation, which cause degradation by erosion, as a result of the stresses created under the impact with micro-jets and shock waves, generated by the implosion of cavitation bubbles. Obviously, the mechanical and cavitation characteristics of bronzes used in castings are inferior to stainless steels, but naval practice has shown that the application of appropriate technologies for volumetric and surface heat treatments, contributes to obtaining structures with superior physical and mechanical properties [4].…”
