The axial, radial and tangential velocity profiles of six fluids were extracted from computational fluid dynamics simulation results at points in a pump chamber 1 mm distant from the blades in a vortex pump at the specific speed of 76. The critical radius was specified in the axial velocity radial profiles to determine the impeller inlet and outlet at six viscosities and part-load, design, and over-load points. A mean-line flow model and hydraulic loss model were built from the profiles. The incidence, incidence loss in the inlet, deviation angle, and slip factor in the outlet were calculated. The impeller theoretical head, pump hydraulic efficiency and volumetric efficiency were analyzed. It was shown that the axial, radial and tangential velocity profiles relate closely to the flow rate as usual, but also the viscosity, especially at low flow rates and in the inlet. The low flow rate and viscosity lead to near zero axial and radial velocities, a faster tangential velocity than the blade speed, negative incidence, and a small incidence loss coefficient in the inlet. The dimensionless critical radius ranged within 0.77–0.89 and reduces with the increasing flow rate and viscosity. The mean slip factor is between 0.11 and 0.20 and rises with the increasing flow rate and viscosity. The mean incidence loss coefficient is within 0.0020–0.15 and augments with the increasing flow rate but increases with the decreasing viscosity under part-load conditions. The theoretical head estimated by using the fluid tangential velocity between the outlet of the impeller and the inlet of the chamber is more reasonable.

In the article, a set of deviation angle models, which are used to predict the off-design performance high-pressure turbines, has been presented, basing on a literature study. The deviation angle is a deviation between the actual flow angle and the blade inclination angle. It is an essential parameter in turbine performance evaluation. This angle shall be obtained accurately in 1-D design and evaluation, so as to ensure the validity of blade profiling and calculation results. If deviation angle is ignored, the turbine will produce a lower change of tangential velocity, and consequently a lower torque, output work and enthalpy drop than intended by the designer. For this reason, the deviation angle model needs to be established. There exist a number of different deviation models, resulting in varying degrees of flow deviation when applied. In the article, correlations for gas outlet angle, dependent on the Mach number at outlet and determined by the blade loading towards the trailing edge has been presented. The main difficulty in establishing the deviation model is a continuity in defining the angle for all speed ranges (both subcritical and supercritical). Each of the models presented in the article deals with this problem in a different way. A few deviation models, briefly discussed in the article, are based on experimental data and one is based on analytical approach.

Twinned dendrites in Al-Zn alloy with high Zn content (40% wt.%) were successfully prepared by directional solidification. At different directional solidification rates (1000 and 1500 μm/s), microstructures and growth orientation variations of Al twinned dendrite and non-twinned dendrite were characterized. By using the inverted trapezoidal graphite sleeve at 1000 μm/s, Al twinned dendrite were formed to developed feather crystal structures in longitudinal section. Its primary and secondary twinned dendrite were grew along [110] direction. Moreover the deviation angle between [110] direction of Al twinned dendrite and the heat flow direction was about 27.15°. While not using the inverted trapezoidal graphite sleeve at 1000 and 1500 μm/s, Al dendrite was the non-twinned dendrite and the twinned dendrite was not appeared. The experimental results showed that the higher temperature gradient, a certain pulling rate and convection environment were the formation conditions of twinned dendrites.
