Centrifugal compressor head - Impact of MW and other parametersSudhindra Tiwari
Please read the revised version.
A sequential approach to describe compressor head, pressure, system head and impact of MW and other suction parameters on head.
There are two basic types of compressors: reciprocating piston compressors which are used for low flow rates and high compression ratios, and centrifugal compressors which are used for high flow rates and low compression ratios. The design equations for compressors are derived from the mechanical energy balance and total energy balance, assuming adiabatic and isentropic compression. In reality, compression is neither fully adiabatic nor isentropic, so a polytropic model provides a better approximation of the actual compression process.

Thermodynamics deals with the effects of work, heat and energy on systems. It considers macroscopic and microscopic changes. The laws of thermodynamics are:
1) Zeroth law - If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third, they are in equilibrium with each other.
2) First law - The change in internal energy of a closed system equals the heat supplied minus the work done.
3) Second law - Heat cannot spontaneously flow from a cold body to a hot body.
4) Third law - The entropy of a system approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches absolute zero.
Centrifugal compressors work by imparting kinetic energy to a gas stream using an impeller, converting the dynamic energy into increased static pressure. They have advantages like high throughput capacity and efficiency over a wide operating range, but also disadvantages like discharge pressure limitations. Key components include impellers, diffusers, volutes, casings, shafts, bearings, and seals. Surge, a dangerous condition where flow reverses rapidly, must be controlled. Compressors can operate alone or in multi-stage arrangements with intercoolers. Common drivers are steam turbines, electric motors, and gas turbines.
Displacement compressors use pistons driven by a crankshaft to draw gas into a cylinder and compress it. Screw compressors use a male and female rotor with helical grooves to compress gas by decreasing trapped volume. Dynamic compressors use a rapidly rotating impeller to accelerate gas and a diffuser to convert velocity to pressure. Compressors have many applications including gas feed, refrigeration, pipelines, and aircraft braking systems.
Centrifugal compressor: Casing and inlet. ImpellersYashChanne2
1. A centrifugal compressor uses radial acceleration from an impeller to compress gas, with multiple stages providing greater compression. Air passing through the impeller gains velocity and pressure before entering the diffuser.
2. The diffuser converts the velocity into pressure as the air slows down. Multiple components including the impeller and diffuser work together to increase the pressure.
3. Centrifugal compressors come in single stage for lower compression ratios up to 3:1, and multistage versions for higher compression using backward leaning blades for better efficiency. They are used widely in industries like oil/gas, food processing, and refrigeration.
Natural gas condensates can form liquid slugs in transmission lines. This presentation describes alternative modelling strategies to determine slug volumes
Oil & Gas Pipelines are often subjected to an operation called ‘Pigging’ for maintenance purposes (For e.g., cleaning the pipeline of accumulated liquids or waxes). A pig is launched from a pig launcher that scrapes out the remnant contents of the pipeline into a vessel known as a ‘Slug catcher’. The term slug catcher is used since pigging operations produces a Slug flow regime characterized by the alternating columns of liquids & gases. Slug catcher’s are popularly of two types – Horizontal Vessel Type & Finger Type Slug catcher. However irrespective of the type used, the determination of the slug catcher volume becomes the primary step before choosing the slug catcher type.
The document summarizes the key components of a compressed air system and adsorption air dryer. The compressed air system supplies instrument and plant air using four screw compressors, separate piping headers, air filters, receivers, and dryers.

Basics Fundamentals and working Principle of Centrifugal Pump.SHASHI BHUSHAN
Basics Fundamentals and working Principle of Centrifugal Pump. Centrifugal pumps are the rotodynamic machines that convert mechanical energy of shaft into kinetic and pressure energy of Fluid which may be used to raise the level of fluid. A centrifugal pump is named so, because the energy added by the impeller to the fluid is largely due to centrifugal effects.
Positive displacement pumps move fluids by trapping a fixed volume and forcing that volume from the suction to discharge side. Reciprocating pumps, like piston pumps, use reciprocating motion powered by engines while rotary pumps use rotating components like gears or lobes. Piston pumps have two check valves and a reciprocating piston powered by translating rotary motion into linear motion. They can be direct or indirect acting, simplex or duplex, and single or double acting. Diaphragm pumps use a flexible diaphragm instead of pistons. Rotary pumps have gears, lobes, screws, cams, or vanes that rotate to trap and move fluid and include gear, lobe, screw, vane, and cam pumps

Improving boiler efficiency by using air preheaterNetha Jashuva
Abstract: Air pre-heater is a heat transfer surface in which air temperature is raised by transferring heat from other media such as flue gas .Hot air is necessary for rapid combustion in the furnace and also for drying coal in milling plants. So an essential boiler accessory which serves this purpose is air pre-heater. The air pre-heater are not essential for operation of steam generator, but they are used where a study of cost indicates that money can be saved or efficient combustion can be obtained by their use. The decision for its adoption can be made when the financial advantages is weighed against the capital cost of heater in the present paper we have taken up the operation and performance analysis of LJUNGSTROM AIRPREHEATER27VITM 1900 of 2x210 MW capacity Rayalaseema Thermal Power Plant, Kalamala and compare with Rothemuhle air pre-heater. In analysis of performance preventive measures for corrosion of heating elements has been studied, and also air heater leakage, corrected gas outlet temperature and finally gas efficiency has been calculated.

Cavitation Effects in Centrifugal Pumps- A ReviewIJERA Editor
Cavitation is one of the most challenging fluid flow abnormalities leading to detrimental effects on both the
centrifugal pump flow behaviors and physical characteristics. Centrifugal pumps’ most low pressure zones are the
first cavitation victims, where cavitation manifests itself in form of pitting on the pump internal solid walls,
accompanied by noise and vibration, all leading to the pump hydraulic performance degradation. In the present
article, a general description of centrifugal pump performance and related parameters is presented. Based on the
literature survey, some light were shed on fundamental cavitation features; where different aspects relating to
cavitation in centrifugal pumps were briefly discussed.

Performance improvement of mixed flow pump impeller through cfd analysiseSAT Journals
Abstract Centrifugal pumps are the largest used hydraulic machine. However, the performance of centrifugal pump is generally not very good. Making them more efficient is a major challenge. The performance of the centrifugal pump greatly depends on its geometrical parameters and the vane profile. Computation fluid dynamics (CFD) has been found to be very good tool for numerical analysis of flow through complex system including centrifugal pumps. The present study deals with the performance analysis of a mixed flow type centrifugal pump designed centrifugal pump to deliver 0.25 m3/s water at a head of 20 m running at 1450 rpm using ANSYS CFX 14.0 software. Modeling of the pump unit has been done using PTC Cre-o 2.0 software. The performance of the pump was first determined using the initially obtained vane angles. The inlet vane angle and outlet vane angle are then varied to analyses the improvement in pump performance .The results shows that for an initial inlet angle 20.08˚ and outlet angle 16.28˚, the efficiency of the pump is 83 %.however, for an optimized angles at inlet and outlet as 20.16˚ and 16.62˚ respectively, the efficiency of pump raised to 88 % thus showing an improvement in the performance of mixed flow pump.

Optimization of design of mixed flow centrifugal pump impeller using cfdeSAT Journals
Abstract
Centrifugal pumps are widely used hydraulic machines, irrespective of the fact that their performance is generally not very good. So, turning them into more efficient machines is quite a challenge. The performance of a centrifugal pump is highly dependent on its geometrical parameters and its vane profile. In order to analyze the flow through complex systems like centrifugal pumps, Computation fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used. This work aims to study the performance analysis of a centrifugal mixed flow pump designed to deliver 0.25 m3/s of water with a head of 20 m at a speed of 1450 rpm using ANSYS CFX (ver.14.0). PTC Creo (ver. 2.0) has been used to model the pump unit. The performance of the pump was first determined using the existing vane angles and thickness of the blade then, the inlet vane angle, the outlet vane angle along with the thickness of the blade has been varied to analyze the pump’s performance . The results show that for an initial inlet angle 21.08˚, outlet angle 16.28˚ and blade thickness as 10mm, the efficiency of the pump was 84%.

Optimization of design of mixed flow centrifugal pump impeller using cfdeSAT Journals
Abstract
Centrifugal pumps are widely used hydraulic machines, irrespective of the fact that their performance is generally not very good. So, turning them into more efficient machines is quite a challenge. The performance of a centrifugal pump is highly dependent on its geometrical parameters and its vane profile. In order to analyze the flow through complex systems like centrifugal pumps, Computation fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used. This work aims to study the performance analysis of a centrifugal mixed flow pump designed to deliver 0.25 m3/s of water with a head of 20 m at a speed of 1450 rpm using ANSYS CFX (ver.14.0). PTC Creo (ver. 2.0) has been used to model the pump unit. The performance of the pump was first determined using the existing vane angles and thickness of the blade then, the inlet vane angle, the outlet vane angle along with the thickness of the blade has been varied to analyze the pump’s performance . The results show that for an initial inlet angle 21.08˚, outlet angle 16.28˚ and blade thickness as 10mm, the efficiency of the pump was 84%. However, the efficiency of pump rises to 89.19% for the optimized angles and blade thickness.

IRJET- Design and Development of Pneumatic Punching MachineIRJET Journal
The document describes the design and development of a pneumatic punching machine. It uses compressed air to generate high pressure that is applied to a piston. A solenoid valve controls the direction of air flow into and out of the cylinder. Polyurethane tubes transmit pressure from the pneumatic cylinder to the punch assembly. When the punch descends via high air pressure, it causes plastic deformation of the sheet material. The machine is more economical than hydraulic options as it uses inexpensive compressed air instead of hydraulic fluid.
The document discusses the design and performance analysis of a hydro-kinetic fluid coupling. It presents a mathematical model and develops a practical working model of the fluid coupling. The model is analyzed using ANSYS software. Testing was conducted with various fluid substances at different speeds and quantities to analyze output power. Results showed that output speed decreases as input speed increases due to higher slip. Higher viscosity fluids produced better thrust but lower flow, while lower viscosity fluids allowed for higher speed operation of the coupling.
Centrifugal Pump Impeller Design by Model to Proto Method and Its Performance...IRJET Journal
This document discusses the design of a centrifugal pump impeller to meet customer specifications for supplying water to a city. It begins by outlining the project requirements and site constraints. It then describes the impeller design process using two methods: 1) the model-to-proto scale ratio method from standard JIS B 8327-2002 to predict proto pump performance based on a model pump, and 2) guidelines from a pump design book. Computational fluid dynamics analysis is used to verify the impeller design before manufacturing. Experimental testing will then validate the physical performance compared to the design parameters.
A Comparative CFD Analysis for Air Swirl on Conventional Valve and Modified V...IRJET Journal
1) The document compares the air swirl in a conventional diesel engine valve and a modified valve with skirting using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis.
2) Two engine models are considered - one with a conventional valve and another with a valve that includes added skirting.
3) The CFD analysis finds that the modified valve with skirting produces slightly higher air velocities near the skirting, which leads to increased swirl and turbulence in the cylinder, improving air-fuel mixing compared to the conventional valve design.
IRJET - Performance Evaluation and Parametric Study of Basic and Reheated Coo...IRJET Journal
This document discusses the performance evaluation and parametric study of basic and reheated cooled gas turbine cycles using exergy analysis. It presents schematic diagrams of the basic and reheated gas turbine cycles with air film blade cooling. Governing equations for modeling the cycle components are provided. Results from a MATLAB simulation show that for both cycles, coolant mass flow rate increases with increasing turbine inlet temperature and compressor pressure ratio. Exergy efficiency decreases with increasing turbine inlet temperature but increases with increasing pressure ratio. The basic cooled gas turbine cycle has higher exergy efficiency than the reheated cycle when the turbine inlet temperature is 1800K and pressure ratio is 30.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.
Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.
