Design, Modeling and Analysis of a Gear Pump for Dispensing Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

Gear pumps are the most efficient positive displacement pumps that are being used in very high precision metering application and also with the cost of production of these pumps almost cut by a 25% to the conventional pumps, the external gear pumps have been a clear choice for the dispensing application in various industries. The design and modelling the concepts have been formulated using SOLIDWORKS modelling software and pump is aimed at delivering 20 bar of high fructose sugar syrup which will yield the required volume flow rate. Available technology was utilized in the design and fabrication of the external gear pump.[1] The design considerations and the relevant theories will affect the performance of the pump. The major factor in the pump being the nozzles that are being changed and what are the critical areas have validated using ABAQUS software.
