Abstract Dry gas lubricated non-contacting mechanical seals (DGS), most commonly found in centrifugal compressors, prevent the process gas flow into the atmosphere. Especially when high speed is combined with high pressure, DGS is the preferred choice over other sealing alternatives. In order to investigate the flow field in the sealing gap and to facilitate the numerical prediction of the seal performance, a dedicated test facility is developed to carry out the measurement of key parameters in the gas film. Gas in the sealing film varies according to the seal inlet pressure, and the thickness of gas film depends on this fluctuated pressure. In this paper, the test facility, measurement methods and the first results of static pressure measurements in the sealing gap of the DGS obtained in the described test facility are presented. An industry DGS with three-dimensional grooves on the surface of the rotating ring, where experimental investigations take place, is used. The static pressure in the gas film is measured, up to 20 bar and 8,100 rpm, by several high frequency ultraminiature pressure transducers embedded into the stationary ring. The experimental results are discussed and compared with the numerical model programmed in MATLAB, the characteristic and magnitude of which have a good agreement with the numerical simulations. It suggests the feasibility of measuring pressure profiles of the standard industry DGS under pressurized dynamic operating conditions without altering the key components of the seal and thereby affecting the seal performance.

Acoustic Fatigue

Gas flow through a corrugated pipe can produce unacceptable levels of noise. The occurrence of such noise gave rise to concerns about vibration induced fatigue of small-bore subsea pipework in the Schiehallion oil field. In order to check that the subsea pipework was free from noise-induced vibration a full scale replica of the subsea equipment containing the small-bore pipework was built and tested. The test required the generation of acoustic pressures with a 1 bar amplitude and a frequency range of 80 to 800Hz. It was also necessary to arrange for resonant conditions within the pipework and for acoustic nodes and anti-nodes to be swept though a range of possible locations. The test was conducted with full-scale conditions of methane at a static pressure of 170bar and with a range of gas flow rates. Particular attention was given to achieving the correct acoustic and structural natural frequencies together with the correct acoustic and structural damping ratios. The subsea equipment was found to be vulnerable for one operating condition. This vulnerability was removed by retro-fitting a brace to the existing subsea pipework.

Purge Flow

The detailed mechanisms of purge flow interaction with the hot-gas flow path were investigated using both unsteady computationally fluid dynamics (CFD) and measurements for a turbine operating at design corrected conditions. This turbine consisted of a single-stage high-pressure turbine and the downstream, low-pressure turbine nozzle row with an aerodynamic design equivalent to actual engine hardware and typical of a commercial, high-pressure ratio, transonic turbine. The high-pressure vane airfoils and inner and outer end walls incorporated state-of-the-art film cooling, and purge flow was introduced into the cavity located between the high-pressure vane and disk. The flow field above and below the blade angel wing was characterized by both temperature and pressure measurements. Predictions of the time-dependent flow field were obtained using a three-dimensional, Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes CFD code and a computational model incorporating the three blade rows and the purge flow cavity. The predictions were performed to evaluate the accuracy obtained by a design style application of the code, and no adjustment of boundary conditions was made to better match the experimental data. Part I of this paper compared the predictions to the measurements in and around the purge flow cavity and demonstrated good correlation. Part II of this paper concentrates on the analytical results, looking at the primary gas path ingestion mechanism into the cavity as well as the effects of the rotor purge on the upstream vane and downstream rotor aerodynamics and thermodynamics. Ingestion into the cavity is driven by high static pressure regions downstream of the vane, high-velocity flow coming off the pressure side of the vane, and the blade bow waves. The introduction of the purge flow is seen to have an effect on the static pressure of the vane trailing edge in the lower 5% of span. In addition, the purge flow is weak enough that upon exiting the cavity, it is swept into the mainstream flow and provides no additional cooling benefits on the platform of the rotating blade.

The regular reflection of an oblique steady shock in supersonic gas flow is considered. The static pressure extremum conditions after the point of reflection of the shock with fixed strength depending on oncoming flow Mach number are determined analytically. The obtained results are applied to solution of the mechanically equivalent problem of the reflection of a propagating shock from an inclined surface. Non-monotonic variation of the mechanical loads on the obstacle with respect to its inclination angle is shown; the obstacle slope angles that correspond to pressure minima downwards of the unsteady shock reflection point are determined analytically.

. This paper studies the different diameters of tube outlet how to affect the gas flow pressure and velocity distribution in nanofiber catalytic converter by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) method. Geometric model of the catalytic converter has been established and meshed by the pre-processing tool of FLUENT. The distribution of velocity and pressure in the converter which outlet diameter is 70 mm is more evenly than the converter which outlet diameter is 50 mm. It is conducive to reducing airflow static pressure in the catalytic converter that expanding the outlet diameter in the case of other conditions remains unchanged. Therefore, the larger outlet diameter is beneficial to exhaust catalytic reaction.

The numerical simulation calculation of air-assisted atomizer internal gas flow field is done, the distribution and changes of the nozzle inside flow field total pressure, velocity, and dynamic and static pressure are analyzed. The analysis shows that the total pressure loss is less; due to the effect of gas viscous, the high-speed air flow is formed vortex flow near the outlet nozzle and the mutual influence between the dynamic and static pressure. A new way is supported for optimizing the nozzle structure according to these studies.

Empirical Calibration

1.1. Of the numerous instruments that have been devised for the measurement of the speed of flowing gases, the pitot-static combination alone has proved itself suitable for use as a standard. It owes its superiority in this respect mainly to the fact that its calibration factor has been found to be constant over a large range of Reynolds number and is affected only by mechanical damage of a kind that can easily be detected by cursory inspection. A single calibration therefore endures throughout the life of the instrument. For this reason the combined pitot-static tube, in one or other of a few types differing only in unimportant details, has been universally adopted as a standard and, although in many circumstances other apparatus or instruments may be more conveniently used for measuring gas-flow, the calibration of such apparatus or instruments has always ultimately to be referred to pitot-static measurements. 1.2. The construction of a pitot-static tube will be clear from fig. 3 ( a ). It consists of two coaxial tubes A and B arranged over part of their length with their axes parallel to the direction of motion of the flowing gas. This portion of the instrument is known as the “head,” while the “stem” comprises those parts of the tubes perpendicular to the head. The stem is generally considerably longer than the head for convenience in mounting the instrument in the required position without interfering with the flow past the head. Tube A is open to the stream only at its end C, which must be arranged to face the motion, while tube B is sealed from tube A entirely and from the stream except at the series of small orifices shown at D. Provision is made at the other ends of the tubes in the stem to connect each to one side of a differential manometer. There is then no flow through the tubes and it is found that if the shapes and proportions of the head are properly chosen, the pressure acting at the aperture C is the total head in the stream (that is the velocity head plus the static pressure), while that at the orifices D is very nearly equal to the static pressure. The differential head indicated by the manometer is thus substantially equal to the velocity head. An empirical calibration factor allows for any discrepancy between the static pressure and the pressure at the static orifices D.

Static pressure differences (deltaP) across the entire length and portions of a latex reproduction of a canine bronchial tree were measured during steady inspiratory or expiratory flow (V). The reproduction consists of a 10-cm length of trachea through bronchi of about 2 mm in diameter. The airflow was simulated by a water flow with tracheal Renolds number (Re0) in the range from 1,500 to 10,000. Loss in total pressure (deltaPt) was computed by summing deltaPt and V were well described (r greater than 0.98) by a dimensionless Rohrer equation deltaPt/deltaPd0 = A + B Re0 applicable to gas flow, in which deltaPd0 is a Poiseuille pressure drop. For expiratory deltaPt, A was about twice that for inspiration, while the values for B were nearly equal. Differences in kinetic energy between sites of static pressure measurement are important in determining loss in total pressure. Rohrer's equation is a good approximation to the phenomenological laws of steady inspiratory and expiratory flow-pressure relations in the canine bronchial tree for the range of Reynolds number investigated.
