This paper describes an experimental method used to find particle restitution coefficients. The equations that govern the motion of solid particles suspended by a compressible gas flow through a turbomachine depend on the restitution coefficients. Analysis of the data obtained by a laser-Doppler velocimeter (LDV) system of the collision phenomenon gives the restitution ratios as a function of the incidence angle. From these ratios, the particle velocity components after collision are computed and used as the initial conditions to the solution of the governing equations of motion for particle trajectories. The erosion of metals impacted by small dust particles can be calculated by knowing the restitution coefficients. The alloy used in this investigation was 410 stainless steel.

<p><span lang="EN-IN">The flow of an unsteady incompressible electrically conducting fluid with uniform distribution of dust particles in a constricted channel has been studied. The medium is assumed to be porous in nature. The governing equations of motion are treated analytically and the expressions are obtained by using variable separable and Laplace transform techniques. The influence of the dust particles on the velocity distributions of the fluid are investigated for various cases and the results are illustrated by varying parameters like Hartmann number, deposition thickness on the walls of the cylinder and the permeability of the porous medium on the velocity of dust and fluid phase.</span></p>

The objective of this paper is to review experimental and analytical investigations concerning the effect of the presence of solid particles on the performance of turbomachines. Experimental data on the effect of solid particles on turbine and compressor performance are examined. Some basic data have been reinterpreted to provide guidance for future design. The equations that govern the dynamics of the three-dimensional motion of solid particles suspended in compressible gas flow through a rotating cascade of a turbine are discussed. The results obtained from the solution of these equations are presented to indicate the location on the turbine blade subjected to erosion damage. Some erosion data relevant to gas turbine engines are discussed. The concluding remarks include a global view of the state of the art of particulate flow problems in turbomachinery.

The question of influence of the electric wind on efficiency of dispersed particles removal from a flue gas stream in electrostatic filters has not been studied well enough. Estimates are given of the role and influence of electric wind on the particle trapping processes in industrial electrostatic precipitators, as well as the results of experiments and calculations using aplied computational fluid dynamics packages. The results of mathematical modeling of the speed of dust particles of different diameters under the action of electric wind in the inter-electrode space of a corona discharge are presented; and the effects of turbulence of a gas flow on the particles capturing, the influence of the near-wall jet and the probabilistic nature of the removal of solid particles from the dusted exhaust gas flow are evaluated.

Nowadays, at production facilities with paint-spraying booths that use paint and varnish materials to cover the surfaces of product, the problem of gas flow contamination with finely dispersed solid particles of dust and rubbish, which negatively affect the quality of products, is increasingly being raised. In order to minimize the content of solid particles in the gas flow, coarse and fine filters are installed in the paint-spraying booths, which prevent dust particles from entering the surface of products. However, the existing purification devices have a number of disadvantages that affect the efficiency of collecting finely dispersed particles from the gas flow with a size of 0.5-5 microns. The authors of article developed a square separator to increase the efficiency of collecting finely dispersed particles from gas flows in the paint-spraying booths. The installation of proposed separation device in the paint-spraying booths affects not only the quality of collecting solid particles, but also increases the service life of fine and coarse filters In the course of numerical studies, the results of impact of structural and technological parameters, namely, the impact of inlet rate and scale of separation device on the efficiency of collecting solid particles from the gas flow, were obtained.

The accurate prediction of liquid leak rates in packing seals is an important step in the design of stuffing boxes, in order to comply with environmental protection laws and health and safety regulations regarding the release of toxic substances or fugitive emissions, such as those implemented by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Technische Anleitung zur Reinhaltung der Luft (TA Luft). Most recent studies conducted on seals have concentrated on the prediction of gas flow, with little to no effort put toward predicting liquid flow. As a result, there is a need to simulate liquid flow through sealing materials in order to predict leakage into the outer boundary. Modelling of liquid flow through porous packing materials was addressed in this work. Characterization of their porous structure was determined to be a key parameter in the prediction of liquid flow through packing materials; the relationship between gland stress and leak rate was also acknowledged. The proposed methodology started by conducting experimental leak measurements with helium gas to characterize the number and size of capillaries. Liquid leak tests with water and kerosene were then conducted in order to validate the predictions. This study showed that liquid leak rates in packed stuffing boxes could be predicted with reasonable accuracy for low gland stresses. It was found that internal pressure and compression stress had an effect on leakage, as did the thickness change and the type of fluid. The measured leak rates were in the range of 0.062 to 5.7 mg/s for gases and 0.0013 and 5.5 mg/s for liquids.
