Parametric Approach for Vibration Analysis of a Centrifuge
Abstract: Centrifuge is a device that spins at high speeds up to 2000 RPM or more. It is used in process industry like sugar plants, food processing industry and pharmaceutical industry. It is useful for separating the solid particles from liquid-solid mixtures. It is for example used in sugar industry for separating sugar crystals from molasses (concentrated sugar syrup). The present work aims at developing a program using ansys parametric design language for investigating the stresses and vibrations acting on the centrifuge of various sizes and speed. The modeling and analysis of the centrifuge was done by using ANSYS APDL 14.0 and the validation of the program is done by analytical method.
Keywords: Centrifuge, Stress analysis, ANSYS APDL, Parametric approach
