An Experimental Performance Comparison of Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids on a Centrifugal Blood Pump
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2022) Önder, Ahmet; Yapıcı, Rafet; İncebay, Ömer
The use of substitute fluid with similar rheological properties instead of blood is important due to ethical concerns and high blood volume consumption in pump performance test before clinical applications. The performance of a centrifugal blood pump with hydrodynamic journal bearing is experimentally tested using Newtonian 40% aqueous glycerin solution (GS) and non-Newtonian aqueous xanthan gum solution of 600 ppm (XGS) as working fluids. Experiments are performed at four different rotational speeds which are 2700, 3000, 3300, and 3600 rpm; experiments using GS reach between 8.5% and 37.2% higher head curve than experiments using the XGS for every rotational speed. It was observed that as the rotational speed and flow rate increase, the head curve difference between GS and XGS decreases. This result can be attributed to the friction reduction effect when using XGS in experiments at high rotation speed and high flow rate. Moreover, due to different fluid viscosities, differences in hydraulic efficiency were observed for both fluids. This study reveals that the use of Newtonian fluids as working fluids is not sufficient to determine the actual performance of a blood pump, and the performance effects of non-Newtonian fluids are remarkably important in pump performance optimizations.

Fuzzy-Based Modeling and Speed Optimization of a Centrifugal Blood Pump Using a Modified and Constrained Bees Algorithm
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2022) İncebay, Ömer; Önder, Ahmet; Arif, Şen, Muhammed; Yapıcı, Rafet; Kalyoncu, Mete
Background and objective: Side effects that may occur when using blood pumps for treatment of patients are the main limitations on pump rotational speed determination. Efforts are being made to reduce side effects in both design and usage procedures. In determining the pump speed for treatment, decreasing the pressure on the main artery and preserving the valve functions are taken into consideration. In addition to these, the parameters considered for design which include pump efficiency and mechanical effects on blood cells, should also be taken into consideration. In this study, the aim is to obtain the optimum pump speed for the maximum hydraulic efficiency and minimum wall shear stresses that occur inside the pump. Methods: Blood pump modeling based on fuzzy logic is created on the hydraulic performance data of a centrifugal blood pump, whose design, CFD analysis, manufacture and experimental testing have been performed previously. Using this fuzzy logic model, the optimum pump speeds were determined using the Bees Algorithm, an intuitive optimization algorithm, in the operating range 1-7 L/min fluid flow rate. In the optimization process, the aim is to achieve minimum shear stress with maximal efficiency. Intravascular pressure limits (90-160 mm-Hg) were set as pressure constraints. Results: The optimum operating point is obtained as a 3350 rpm pump speed and a 4.35 L/min flow rate. At this operating point, CFD simulation is performed, and maximum wall shear stress was found to be 1458 Pa and its efficiency as 34.2%. Conclusions: In addition to the parameters commonly used in the pump speed optimization of blood pumps, the use of wall shear stresses and pump efficiency can provide certain improvements. © 2022

Heuristic Optimization of Impeller Sidewall Gaps-Based on the Bees Algorithm for a Centrifugal Blood Pump by Cfd
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2021) Önder, Ahmet; İncebay, Ömer; Şen, Muhammed Arif; Yapıcı, Rafet; Kalyoncu, Mete
Optimization studies on blood pumps that require complex designs are gradually increasing in number. The essential design criteria of centrifugal blood pump are minimum shear stress with maximal efficiency. The geometry design of impeller sidewall gaps (blade tip clearance, axial gap, radial gap) is highly effective with regard to these two criteria. Therefore, unlike methods such as trial and error, the optimal dimensions of these gaps should be adjusted via a heuristic method, giving more effective results. In this study, the optimal gaps that can ensure these two design criteria with The Bees Algorithm (BA), which is a population-based heuristic method, are investigated. Firstly, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of sample pump models, which are selected according to the orthogonal array and pre-designed with different gaps, are performed. The dimensions of the gaps are optimized through this mathematical model. The simulation results for the improved pump model are nearly identical to those predicted by the BA. The improved pump model, as designed with the optimal gap dimensions so obtained, is able to meet the design criteria better than all existing sample pumps. Thanks to the optimal gap dimensions, it has been observed that compared to average values, it has provided a 42% reduction in aWSS and a 20% increase in efficiency. Moreover, original an approach to the design of impeller sidewall gaps was developed. The results show that computational costs have been significantly reduced by using the BA in blood pump geometry design.

Optimization Study on Surface Roughness and Tribological Behavior of Recycled Cast Iron Reinforced Bronze Mmcs Produced by Hot Pressing
(MDPI, 2021) Güneş, Aydın; Şahin, Ömer Sinan; Düzcükoğlu, Hayrettin; Salur, Emin; Aslan, Abdullah; Kuntoğlu, Mustafa; Pimenov, Danil Yurievich
Surface roughness reflects the quality of many operational parameters, namely service life, wear characteristics, working performance and tribological behavior of the produced part. Therefore, tribological performance is critical for the components used as tandem parts, especially for the MMCs (Metal Matrix Composites) which are a unique class of materials having extensive application areas such as aerospace, aeronautics, marine engineering and the defense industry. Current work covers the optimization study of production parameters for surface roughness and tribological indicators of newly produced cast iron reinforced bronze MMCs. In this context, two levels of temperature (400 and 450 degrees C), three levels of pressure (480, 640 and 820 MPa) and seven levels of reinforcement ratios (60/40, 70/30, 80/20, 90/10, 100/0 of GGG40/CuSn10, pure bronze-as received and pure cast iron-as received) are considered. According to the findings obtained by Taguchi's signal-to-noise ratios, the reinforcement ratio has a dominant effect on surface roughness parameters (Ra and Rz), the coefficient of friction and the weight loss in different levels. In addition, 100/0 reinforced GGG40/CuSn10 gives minimum surface roughness, pure cast iron provides the best weight loss and pure bronze offers the desired coefficient of friction. The results showed the importance of material ingredients on mechanical properties by comparing a wide range of samples from starting the production phase, which provides a perspective for manufacturers to meet the market supply as per human requirements.

Towards Analysis and Optimization for Contact Zone Temperature Changes and Specific Wear Rate of Metal Matrix Composite Materials Produced From Recycled Waste
(MDPI, 2021) Güneş, Aydın; Salur, Emin; Aslan, Abdullah; Kuntoğlu, Mustafa; Giasin, Khaled; Pimenov, Danil Yurievich; Şahin, Ömer Sinan
Tribological properties are important to evaluate the in-service conditions of machine elements, especially those which work as tandem parts. Considering their wide range of application areas, metal matrix composites (MMCs) serve as one of the most significant materials equipped with desired mechanical properties such as strength, density, and lightness according to the place of use. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the wear performance of these materials to obtain a longer life and to overcome the possible structural problems which emerge during the production process. In this paper, extensive discussion and evaluation of the tribological performance of newly produced spheroidal graphite cast iron-reinforced (GGG-40) tin bronze (CuSn10) MMCs, including optimization, statistical, graphical, and microstructural analysis for contact zone temperature and specific wear rate, are presented. For this purpose, two levels of production temperature (400 and 450 degrees C), three levels of pressure (480, 640, and 820 MPa), and seven different samples reinforced by several ingredients (from 0 to 40 wt% GGG-40, pure CuSn10, and GGG-40) were investigated. According to the obtained statistical results, the reinforcement ratio is remarkably more effective on contact zone temperature and specific wear rate than temperature and pressure. A pure CuSn10 sample is the most suitable option for contact zone temperature, while pure GGG-40 seems the most suitable material for specific wear rates according to the optimization results. These results reveal the importance of reinforcement for better mechanical properties and tribological performance in measuring the capability of MMCs.
