This paper presents results regarding the grinding behaviour of two batches of material (clinker) in a ball mill with its own two-step grinding process: the first one with a ball load, the second with a load of cylindrical metal bodies. The first step was performed until the residue R009 has reached aprox.35%, and the second stage until Blaine's specific surface was over 3800 cm2/g. Periodically, at 10-minute intervals, the fineness of the clinker and the specific energy consumption were determined. These consumptions are quantified from the first determination and relates to the weight of the material subjected to grinding (20 kg clinker / from a source), determining the grinding ability of the material.

Grinding energy efficiency depends on the appropriate selection of cutting conditions, grinding wheel, and workpiece material. Additionally, the estimation of specific energy consumption is a good indicator to control the consumed energy during the grinding process. Consequently, this study develops a model of material-removal rate to estimate specific energy consumption based on the measurement of active power consumed in a plane surface grinding of C45K with different thermal treatments and AISI 304. This model identifies and evaluates the dissipated power by sliding, ploughing, and chip formation in an industrial-scale grinding process. Furthermore, the instantaneous positions of abrasive grains during cutting are described to study the material-removal rate. The estimation of specific chip-formation energy is similar to that described by other authors on a laboratory scale, which allows to validate the model and experiments. Finally, the results show that the energy consumed by sliding is the main mechanism of energy dissipation in an industrial-scale grinding process, where it is denoted that sliding energy by volume unity decreases as the depth of cut and the speed of the workpiece increase.

Abstract A mathematical model and a numerical approach for the computation of the specific energy consumption, which is needed for warming up of flat furniture elements before their lacquering, have been suggested. The approach is based on the integration of the solutions of a non-linear model for the calculation of the nonstationary 1D temperature distribution along the thickness of subjected to unilateral convective heating furniture elements. With the help of a self-prepared software program, computations have been carried out for the determination of the change in the specific energy, which is consumed by oak furniture elements with an initial temperature of 20 °C, moisture content of 8 %, thickness of 16 mm, and length of 0.6 m, 1.2 m, and 1.8 m, during their 10 min unilateral convective heating by hot air with temperature of 100 °C and velocity of 5 m·s−1.

The bucket wheel excavator (BWE) is a complex continuous digging machine, used to excavate material using a layout of buckets installed on a rotor (bucket wheel), and at the same time, using the conveyor system installed on its boom, transferring this material to the main conveyor. The bucket wheel is the operating equipment, and it rotates in the vertical plane and performs (with the boom) a pivoting movement in the horizontal plane and an ascendant – descendent movement in the vertical plane. The paper presents a new grafo-numeric method of determination of the operation power of the BWE rotor, using computer simulation in SolidWorks. The aim of using virtual models for the analysis of the operation of some components of the BWE is to reduce the specific energy consumption during cutting while maintaining the installed operation power of the rotor, to increase the excavation capacity and to improve the cutting – loading system.

In this paper, energy mapping and optimization in rough machining of impellers was investigated. Experiments were first designed based on the response surface methodology (RSM) to minimize operation specific energy consumption in machining through selection of machining parameters (spindle speed, cutting depth, and feed rate) in the Siemens NX computer aided manufacturing (CAM) simulation. With the simulated machining solution and G-code, experiments were conducted on the CNC lathe and mill to cut Al 6061 impellers. The machine energy consumption was measured using a power meter. The operation specific energy was analyzed in analysis of variance (ANOVA), regression models, and desirability functions. The minimum specific energy in the rough and semi-finish turning process is 0.16 J/mm3 and 0.23 J/mm3 respectively. The minimum specific energy in the blades milling process with 6mm ball mill or 3mm ball mill is 0.08 J/mm3 and 0.42 J/mm3 respectively. In the experiment settings, it identified that cutting depth is the most critical factor to affect the specific energy consumption in impeller machining. The empirical equations between the specific energy and material removal rate (MRR) concluded that specific energy is proportional to the inverse of MRR. From the study, it would suggest that in order to minimize the specific energy in machining of impellers, it should selected the MRR as large as possible.
