트로코이드 펌프 설계방법 및 내부 유동 해석연구

This paper provides a methodology for extracting design data from the three-dimensional design software SolidWorks ® , which isbased on the existing trochoid pump design equations thatare used by hydraulic field engineers. The data extracted from the SolidWorks ® model are input to a hydraulic analysis software AMESim ® model todetermine the design factors that can influence the properties of a trochoid pump. On the basis of the simulation results, this paper proposesa methodto reduce the flow loss by adjusting the outlet angle of the trochoid pump. This proposal was verified by using actual experimental results, which confirmed that adjusting the outlet angle can increase the flow rate. Hence,the results presented in this paper can contribute to the prototyping of a trochoid pump by reducing the cost associated with a trial-and-error design.
