Abstract
This research conducted an experimental investigation on an annular jet pump (AJP), designed specifically for deep sea feeding used 0–30 m underwater, through building an experimental prototype of an underwater hydraulic conveying system. The experiment established relationships between the limit cavitation point, pressure ratio, flow rate ratio, pump efficiency, and secondary flow rate with the working water state and pump outlet pressure. Furthermore, the optimal efficiency control strategy and the optimal secondary flow control strategy of the AJP for the underwater hydraulic feeding system were formulated, and the respective characteristics were compared. The feed pellets two-phase conveying experiment was also conducted to investigate changes from conveying water only in the limit cavitation point and secondary flow rate. Both water only and feed pellet conveying in AJP will approach the limit cavitation state, and the flow rate ratio will stop changing when the pressure ratio of the AJP is less than a certain value. These results offer an experimental basis and control reference for the design and construction of an adaptive-water-depth hydraulic feeding system for deep sea aquaculture.
期刊介绍:
Aquacultural Engineering is concerned with the design and development of effective aquacultural systems for marine and freshwater facilities. The journal aims to apply the knowledge gained from basic research which potentially can be translated into commercial operations.
Problems of scale-up and application of research data involve many parameters, both physical and biological, making it difficult to anticipate the interaction between the unit processes and the cultured animals. Aquacultural Engineering aims to develop this bioengineering interface for aquaculture and welcomes contributions in the following areas:
– Engineering and design of aquaculture facilities
– Engineering-based research studies
– Construction experience and techniques
– In-service experience, commissioning, operation
– Materials selection and their uses
– Quantification of biological data and constraints
