S. Raghavachari Consultant Chennai Abstract Mechanical seals are pieces of engineering marvel. Process industries could meet today’s stringent environmental pollution regulations through the effective sealing of even the most difficult fluids. This paper describes different kinds of seals‚ their design‚ properties and functioning. Effect of various factors like seal balance‚ face pressure‚ temperature and lubrication on performance of seal and probable causes of seal leakage with their

mechanical work from fluid under pressure. One of the famous ways is to use the pressure to accelerate the fluid to a high velocity in a jet. Over the years‚ engineers have found many ways to utilize the force that can be produced by a jet of fluid on a surface diverting the flow. For example‚ the pelton wheel has been used to make flour. Firemen make use of the kinetic energy stored in a jet to deliver water above the level in the nozzle to extinguish fires in tall buildings. Fluid jets are also used

The Pelton wheel is a water impulse turbine. It was invented by Lester Allan Pelton in the 1870s. The Pelton wheel extracts energy from the impulse of moving water‚ as opposed to its weight like traditional overshot water wheel. Although many variations of impulse turbines existed prior to Pelton ’s design‚ they were less efficient than Pelton ’s design; the water leaving these wheels typically still had high speed‚ and carried away much of the energy. Pelton ’s paddle geometry was designed so that

The tube side fluid enters the heat exchanger at C with a flow rate of M kg/s at a temperature Ti and leaves at D at a temperature To. The heat loss QH from the steam can be expressed as QH = W(λ + CpH.(Tv-Ts)) Similarly‚ the heat gained by the tube side fluid QC can be expressed as QC= M.CpT. (Ti-To) The heat transfer
