Reducing Air and Water Pollution Reducing air and water pollution is always a challenge. Even in a smaller city like Enterprise‚ Alabama. So many things seem out of our control; however if everyone was to do their part‚ even if it’s just a small change‚ it can make a big difference. So many luxuries we have in our lives we take for granted‚ and so many pollutants we put into the atmosphere and our ground water without thought. I want to show that in a small town like Enterprise that does

machinery problem. We intend to do a project on “Vibration analysis of centrifugal pump at BPCL Kochi Refinery”. The vibration analysis we have done is a part of predictive maintenance on rotary equipments. This technique is mainly used for the improved performance of equipments. Using this we can predict the condition of internal parts of the equipment. We are mainly dealing with the vibration analysis of centrifugal pump‚ compressors and motors. It includes typical causes of vibration like misalignment

Rigid and flexible pipelines are discussed and couplings and other accessories described. Recommendations for proportioning pumpable concrete suggest optimum gradation of aggregates; outline water‚ cement‚ and admixture requirements; and emphasize the need for evaluation of trial mixes for pumpability. The importance of saturating

THJ#6 Problem statement: How can I figure out whether different substances when mixed with water create a solution or not. Research/Prior knowledge: Substances dissolve best in hotter water. You can use a flashlight to help see if a mixture is a solution‚ a suspension‚ or colloid. A solution is a mixture that forms when substances dissolve and form a homogenous mixture. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture that separates into layers over time. A colloid is a mixture that contains some particles

CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS Introduction A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to create flow by the addition of energy to a fluid. Centrifugal pumps are commonly used to move liquids through piping. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller‚ flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing)‚ from where it exits into the downstream piping. Centrifugal pumps are used for

Submersible Pump Application The system consists of a submersible pump controlled by a Danfoss VLT AQUA Drive and a pressure transmitter. The transmitter gives a 4-20 mA feedback signal to the VLT AQUA Drive‚ which keeps a constant pressure by controlling the speed of the pump. To design a drive for a submersible pump application‚ there are a few important issues to take into consideration. Therefore the drive used must be chosen according to motor current. 1. The motor is a so called “Can motor”

CENTRIFUGAL PUMP A centrifugal pump converts the input power to kinetic energy in the liquid by accelerating the liquid by a revolving device - an impeller. The most common type is the volute pump. Fluid enters the pump through the eye of the impeller which rotates at high speed. The fluid is accelerated radially outward from the pump chasing. A vacuum is created at the impellers eye that continuously draws more fluid into the pump. The energy created by the pump is kinetic energy according the

Chapter 15 & 16: Temperature‚ Heat & Heat Transfer Temperature is a measure of the average (not total) translational kinetic energy. ●ex: there is 2x as much total molecular kinetic energy in a 2L of boiling water than one‚ but the temp of the two volumes are the same (average of translational kinetic energy per molecule is the same in each → Internal Energy- the total of all molecular energies: kinetic+potential (SAME TEMP) ● Ex: apply a flame to 1L h2o for a certain time and its temp rises
