Diseño y construcción de un prototipo de una bomba de desplazamiento

Abstract

Because one of the teaching and learning processes of mechanical engineering consists of understanding the various assembly and supply mechanisms of the different machines that we can find in the industry, among these: positive displacement mechanical pumps, and nowadays The Los Libertadores University Foundation university does not have a didactic teaching device where the real operation of these is evidenced. It is intended to make a prototype that meets the design criteria of a reciprocating oil extraction pump, in which its real operation as a pedagogical teaching alternative can be evidenced, thus strengthening the skills and knowledge acquired throughout the career of mechanical engineering, capturing the attention of the students and professors of the institution. The document shows the process of calculations and execution of the assembly, including photographs, considerations for improvements and drawings of the prototype. The material used in the pump stem, in this case bronze, allows the use of liquids derived from petroleum, generating a more realistic experience, as well as presenting the possibility of carrying out future projects with abrasive fluids. The teaching prototype successfully simulates the real operation of a reciprocating oil extraction pump, operating with petroleum-derived liquids, self-priming, a pulsating flow and a flow rate of 100 ml / min. In this way, it is intended to leave a mark on the academic and didactic spaces of the institution for the professional growth of future mechanical engineering students.
