    Lubrication at low speeds is a general problem in the hermetic reciprocating compressors for household refrigerators. The aim of this article is to present a new method using a novel 3D printed unibody axial flow pump for the lubrication oil supply system of an inverter type hermetic reciprocating compressor during a low speed (< 2000 rpm) operation. The system is based on a 3D printed unibody bladeless impeller axial flow pump attached to the bottom end of the vertical rotating crankshaft partially immersed in the oil sump inside hermetic reciprocating compressor sealed casing. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation besides the experiment is used to simulate the flow inside the pump to calculate the mass flow rate of the lubrication oil and to optimize the helix angle of the pump. Volume of Fluid (VoF) and Multi Reference Frame (MRF) methods are used for modeling the two-phase flow (air and lubrication oil) and rotary domain respectively. The mass flow rate and climbing time of the lubrication oil in the unibody axial pump are analyzed. The results show that the designed pump is capable to supply the lubrication oil at a low speed i.e., 1400 rpm. Moreover, results indicate that the mass flow rate of the lubrication oil increases as the viscosity decreases. The average climbing time is observed to be 1 s at 1400 rpm and 0.4 s at 2000 rpm.

    Structural factors controlling thermal stability of imidazolium ionic liquids with 1-N-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation on gamma-Al2O3
    (Elsevier, 2014) N/A; N/A; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Akçay, Aslı; Balci, Volkan; Uzun, Alper; Master Student; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering; N/A; N/A; 59917
    Structural factors determining thermal stability limits of imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) with 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, [BMIM](+), cation on one of the most commonly used metal-oxide support, gamma-Al2O3, were determined by thermogravimetric analysis complemented by infrared (IR) spectroscopy. IR results show that inter-ionic interaction strength in ILs increases as their anion structure varies in the following order: [NTf2](-) < [SbF6](-) < [BE4](-) < [TfO](-) < [OS](-) < [HSO4](-) < [TOS](-) < [DBP](-) < [OAc](-). TGA data illustrate a strong dependence of thermal stability limits on inter-ionic interactions. Thermal stability limits of both bulk and gamma-Al2O3-supported [BMIM](+)-based ILs increase with decreasing inter-ionic interaction strength. Thermal stability limit of IL with octyl sulfate anion was lower than that of analogous IL with hydrogen sulfate anion, because of its exceptionally large anion size. Moreover, the effect of gamma-Al2O3 on IL thermal stability conditions becomes dominant with decreasing inter-ionic interactions in ILs. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
