Theoretical Considerations about the Influence of the Work Environment and of Mixer Hydrodynamic Mass on the Deformations and Implicitly on the Shaft Own Pulsation

Abstract:

Loading shaft of the mixing device is complex. Because the operating regime is characterized by a random variation of the regime parameters, it is difficult to determine an exact theoretical approach, from the point of view of calculation of the shaft. The stress shaft of a mixing device takes into account only partally of the real state of loading. At present, there is no unitary methodology for calculating of shaft for mixing devices. Although the effect of the mixer weight on the own frequency, has been partially taken into account when the shaft-mixer system rotates in the air, it must be reconsidered if the shaft-mixer system rotates in a liquid. The calculation presented in this paper will take into account "hydrodynamic mass" m_am of liquid, corresponding to the mixer that actually vibrates with it. This contributes to an increase of its inertia, and to reducing of the own frequency (respectively of the critical speed). In this paper, the influence of the working environment on the deflection of vertical cantilever shaft will be considered, and calculation relations for own pulsation of the shaft equipped with a mixer will be set, with consideration of mixer hydrodynamic mass. For this purpose, it is calculated hydrodynamic mass m_h attached to the mixer, and the reduction factor of pulsation due to hydrodynamic mass.
