Gas mixing and dispersement in pumps for pumping molten metal

A pump mixes gas and molten metal and pumps molten metal. A base of the pump includes an inlet and an outlet, a mixing impeller chamber adapted to mix gas and molten metal and a pumping impeller chamber adapted to pump molten metal. First and second impeller members supported by a shaft are adapted to rotate in the mixing and pumping chambers, respectively. The impeller members may be integrally formed components of a single impeller or separate impellers supported on one or more shafts. A gas passageway extends from a gas source in proximity to the mixing chamber in the base. A gas dispersement pump for molten metal includes a base including an impeller chamber, an inlet and an outlet. An impeller is mounted to a shaft and adapted to be rotated in the impeller chamber. A gas passageway extends from a gas source to a gas outlet in proximity to the impeller chamber. A gas dispersement member composed of porous refractory material is adapted to disperse gas supplied from the gas passageway. In a gas dispersement and gas / molten metal mixing pump, the gas dispersement member disperses the gas stream, which enters the mixing chamber where the gas is further mixed with the molten metal. Molten metal is also pumped by rotation of an impeller in the pumping chamber. A stream of a gas and molten metal mixture is discharged from the lower mixing chamber while a stream of molten metal is discharged from the pumping chamber.

Thermally driven knudsen pump

The present invention relates to thermally driven pumps. More specifically, one embodiment of the present invention relates to the use of a thermoelectric material to create a thermally driven, bi-directional pump, such as a micro pump, with no moving parts using the thermal transpiration effect (a Knudsen pump). One embodiment of the thermally driven pump of the present invention utilizes a thermoelectric material to assist with the thermal transpiration process resulting in a substantially symmetrical, bidirectional pump. A thermoelectric module is used to induce a temperature gradient across a nanoporous article having at least one nanochannel thus creating fluid flow via thermal transpiration across the nanochannel. The use of the thermoelectric module eliminates the need for a heat sink thereby making the pump substantially symmetrical and enabling bidirectional flow which is accomplished by reversing the polarity of the power supply to the thermoelectric module resulting in reversing the direction of heat transfer.A second embodiment of the thermally driven pump of the present invention comprises a uni-directional, pneumatic, micro fluidic, Knudsen pump which can be integrated into a lab-on-chip device and is configured to pump liquids. The Knudsen pump of the second embodiment is generally comprised of a channel system comprised of a nanochannel and a shallow channel embedded in a bottom substrate and capable of alignment in series with other channels within a lab-on-chip substrate. The nanochannel and shallow channel are both covered by a second substrate comprised of material conducive to finalize creation of the Knudsen channels. A heater is also included within the nanochannel to induce gas flow by thermal transpiration which pneumatically moves liquid through the channels of a lab-on-chip.

Device for pumping and draining water from downward hole of coal bed

The invention relates to an auxiliary device for a drilling hole for gas drainage, in particular to a device for pumping and draining water from a downward hole of a coal bed, which solves the problems that the accumulated water in the downward hole of the coal bed cannot be drained out in time to influence the effect on gas drainage. The device comprises a liquid draining and pumping pipe, a drilling hole sealing device, and a drainage device provided with a first gate valve and a second gate valve, wherein the upper part of the drainage device is provided with a water inlet and a ventilation bolt of the drainage device, while the lower part is provided with a drainage bolt; the upper end of the drilling hole sealing device is connected with a hole connecting device; the upper end of the liquid draining and pumping pipe is extended in the hole connecting device, and a liquid guiding pipe is connected between the liquid draining and pumping pipe and the water inlet of the drainage device; and one side of the hole connecting device is provided with a first embedded wire pipe, and the second gate valve of the drainage device is connected with a second embedded wire pipe communicated with a gas drainage pipeline. The device can quickly and effectively drain out the accumulated water in the drilling hole to ensure the normal drainage and pumping of the drilling hole, improve the draining and pumping effect of the downward hole (or the drilling hole of a lower adjacent layer) of the coal bed, and reduce the gas content of the coal bed (or the lower adjacent layer) on a working surface; besides, the device has a simple structure and convenient connection and operation.
