The main components of an OTEC system are described below- namely, heat exchangers, evaporators, turbines and condensers. The design of heat exchangers to meet industrial requirements for efficiency, durability, ease of manufacture, packaging, system integration reliability and cost has led to an extensive technology devoted just to this subject. The special requirements of OTEC can be met by heat exchangers with different operating characteristics than conventional designs. Also, research ha...
Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) is not a new invention to oil production line. In fact, the ESP systems powered by electrical downhole motor have been used for decades to lift fluids from oil fields. However, during the wide range of harsh downhole environments, the ESP systems have to face various challenges from production. ESP has become a vital component of world's oil product lines recently. It has been designed more resistant to abrasion by sand, broad range of high operating temperat...
Abstract- In Civil Engineering traditionally, we are using different materials in the form of building units. Some of the building units which we are using for construction are bricks and concrete blocks. Especially for bricks we have to use good plastic clay as primary raw material. This clay is often obtained from prime agricultural land, causing degradation as well as economic loss due to diversion of agricultural land. Manufacturing of bricks produces harmful gases which results in signif...
Introduction Background Recently, the trends of manufacturing industry are to seek new and innovative methods to accelerate new product development and to manufacture the product rapidly. These issues have developed into global competition among manufacturing companies to improve their business process. To help do this, rapid manufacturing has appeared as an option. Rapid manufacturing has been developed as an advanced manufacturing technology to shorten time to market. The technologies are b...
Coke has been used in the steel industry for years. Coke ovens exist to supply coke for blast furnaces and to a smaller extent the foundry industry. Coke is used to provide Carbon and heat which chemically reduces iron ore to pig iron in blast furnaces. Coke also supports the materials in blast furnaces because of its strength and provides permeability for gases to penetrate the material bed due to shape.3 Coke is a major plays a major role in producing quality steel. Since coke has been used...
1.Introduction 1.1. Introduction Research on two wheeled, self balancing vehicle is gaining momentum in many laboratories around the world and has made many developments based on it. Balancing carts are defined by their ability to balance on two wheels and spin on the spot similar to an inverted pendulum. It has been the subject of many researches around the world ever since people started investigating the concept of inverted pendulum system. Many forms and functions of a two wheeled cart ha...
Oil and gas are the prime sources of energy around the world. In most countries oil and gas contribute to over 66 of the total energy consumed by the country. Practically all of the gas and oil are transported over land through pipelines. Unfortunately the costs of designing these pipelines are increasing day after day with the replacement cost reaching as high as £100 000 million! This is merely due to the increase in demand for energy and so does the demand for more pipelines. Nowadays pipe...
Tialite which is chemically known as Aluminium Titanate [1] is the compound that is used throughout this research. It is a refractory material [2] which has several interesting properties such as differential thermal expansion coefficient, excellent thermal shock resistance and high melting point [3]. These properties are made to use, by sintering of aluminium dioxide and titanium dioxide to form Tialite within a ceramic. Sintering processes have been done earlier and the effects on propertie...
The electrical loads in aircrafts are continuously increasing with the ongoing developments in avionics, upgrades in the sensor systems dealing with radars as well as the pilot interfaces. To go along with this there is an ongoing research development aimed at shifting towards the More Electric Aircrafts due to which the demand for electrical power on board an aircraft is likely to continue growing significantly over the coming years. As a result, there is a need for increase in the generatin...
In this paper, Kinematic Modeling of Macpherson Suspension System has been done and Design or Constraint equations are derived for different kinematic link of Suspension system by using Displacement Matrix method and Instantaneous Screw Axis method. Suspension mechanism is analyzed under the sinusoidal displacement of wheel with relevant data and results. Then Macpherson Suspension system is analyzed by computer software "Suspension Analyzer" by taking example of Ford Mustang 1999. Introducti...
