Trying to mesh & simulate this in Ansys Fluent, I’m stuck on the rotation and sliding movement of Rotor and Vanes.

Hi,

I’ve been recently working on a project that demanded a vane pump.

I started with this as a first design ( it’s clearly missing many features and components ) and I’m trying to actually find the key aspects of my design before committing to one and actually build it.
I need:
- A graph of efficiency vs. Speed
- Pressure Drop inlet - outlet vs. speed
- Hydraulic Power vs. Speed
- Mechanical Power vs. Speed
- Any Cavitation
- Any Leakage

I’m stuck on how I can actually tell fluent to rotate the rotor. Not only that, I think I need more than that to actually get accurate & reliable results.

My current workflow:
Autodesk Inventor -> SpaceClaim -> Fluent

My first prototype ESC, Check?

Hello, this is my first time making a custom dedicated ESC. It has room for improvement but this is a prototype. Please let me know if I made any mistakes.

P.S. for some reason I can’t upload more than one photo.

Custom controller with Radiator Fan

Hello everybody,
I’ve been recently assigned with the task of creating a custom controller for early 2000-1990s radiator fans. Even modern ones.

So we ordered a Radiator Fan for inspection to really see what we need to work with.

I laid my hands on this one:

FEBI BILSTEIN 107457 Fan, radiator

It’s a 4 pin connector fan. I’m guessing that it consists of Power Plus, Power Ground, PWM signal, ecu ground or feedback.

But I’m not so sure. This is my first time working with such fans and I don’t think I know how they exactly interface.

Could anyone give me some pointers or leads?

Thanks in advance.

Atmega328-AU Documentaries

Hello everybody,
I’ve been given the task to design a custom PCB board with that microcontroller. I’m aware that it’s widely supported and has a large community. I was wondering, is there some documentaries apart from the actual datasheet that can help me?
Thanks in advance.

X20V battery problem

Hello, I’m trying to fix a battery pack, cells are completely fine, but I think the board was subjected to some rain water. I don’t want to throw away the pack as the cells are functional and hold decent voltage under load. Any advice?
Symptoms:
Charging and Fully charged LEDs flashing
Saw starts, motor shuts down after a few seconds, however saw leds remain lit.
