The objective of this study is to develop an efficient washing system to remove cutting oil from machining part surface. The proposed washing system consists of two processes: the dipping process and the modified automatic ultrasonic washing process. The automatic ultrasonic washing process is redesigned and developed to reduce operating cost and increase productivity from the previously developed machine. For this proposed system, experiments have been performed to determine the washing conditions that yield satisfactory proportion of defectives due to oil contamination. Under the suggested operating conditions, the proportion of defectives due to oil contamination is reduced from 12.8% to 1.78%, which leads to $16,800 defective cost reduction. The proposed washing system yields 42.9% increase in washing productivity. Furthermore, it as has more standard procedure than the current washing process.

Avoiding aerodynamic separation and excessive shock losses in gas turbine turbomachinery components can reduce fuel usage and thus reduce operating cost. In order to achieve this, blading designs should be made robust to a wide range of operating conditions. Consequently, a design tool is needed—one that can be executed quickly for each of many operating conditions and on each of several design sections, which will accurately capture loss, turning, and loading. This paper presents the validation of a boundary layer code, MISES, versus experimental data from a 2D linear cascade approximating the performance of a moderately loaded mid-pitch section from a modern aircraft high-pressure turbine. The validation versus measured loading, turning, and total pressure loss is presented for a range of exit Mach numbers from ≈0.5 to 1.2 and across a range of incidence from −10 deg to +14.5 deg relative to design incidence.

Supersonic ejectors can be applied to capture low-pressure leakage gas from the gas seal vents of a centrifugal compressor. This captured gas can be re-injected into the fuel gas line of the gas turbine driver or the captured gas can be used as a fuel for gas fired utility heaters. By capturing the gas that is normally emitted to the atmosphere the operator can reduce operating cost and enjoy a reduction in hydrocarbon foot print. Because the supersonic ejector does not have moving parts, the system operating and maintenance costs are lower than functionally comparable traditional systems. In this study, a prototype of a supersonic ejector system was developed and tested at a pipeline compressor station. The obtained test data were used for developing and tuning a mean-line aerodynamic analysis tool, which predicts the ejector’s operating map. A family of three ejectors was designed to cover a range of operating conditions associated with gas turbine driven pipeline compressors. These ejectors were built, installed on a specially designed panel, described as the ejector system, and tested on inert gas at the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM’s) facility. A comparison of predicted and as-tested supersonic ejector performance maps is discussed and conclusions are made about the system operating range.

Condition Optimization

This study examined the optimum coagulation conditions for reducing irreversible fouling during the in-line coagulation/ultrafiltration (UF) membrane process and assessed the decrease in operating cost. The coagulation conditions that generated charge-neutralization, sweep-flocculation, and under-dosing mechanisms were obtained by a jar-test, and a pilot-scale in-line coagulation/UF membrane process was operated under the coagulation conditions. Charge-neutralization and sweep-flocculation mechanisms reduced irreversible fouling effectively, and the under-dosing mechanism was able to reduce irreversible fouling only when flocs of a certain size or larger were formed. This revealed that floc size was a more important factor in reducing irreversible fouling than floc structure, and once initial cake layers were created by flocs of a fixed size, the structure of formed cake layers had only a minor effect on irreversible fouling. Regarding reduction in operating cost, 0.5 mg/L and 3 h, which were necessary to produce an under-dosing mechanism, were deemed the optimum coagulant dosage and coagulant injection time, respectively, to reduce irreversible fouling. In order to analyze the operating cost reduction effect, a pilot plant was operated under optimum operating conditions, and the total operating cost was approximately 11.2% lower than without in-line coagulation.

Abstract Slurry polymerization processes using Zeigler–Natta catalysts are most widely used for the production of polyethylene due to their several advantages over other processes. Optimal operating conditions are required to obtain the maximum productivity of the polymer at minimal cost while ensuring operational safety in the slurry phase ethylene polymerization reactors. The main focus of this multi-objective optimization study is to obtain the optimal operating conditions corresponding to the maximization of productivity and yield at a minimal operating cost. The tuned reactor model has been optimized. The single objective optimization (SOO) and multi-objective optimization (MOO) problems are solved using non-dominating sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II). A complete range of Pareto optimal solutions are obtained to obtain the maximum productivity and polymer yield at different input costs.

This paper represents the mustard oil is a kind of renewable energy and alternative fuel of the future. In order to cope with the current situation of load shedding, and reduce dependence on imported fuels, the Bangladesh government to encourage the use of renewable energy. Because the diesel engine with multiple functions, including small pumping irrigation system and backup generators, diesel fuel is much higher than that of any other gasoline fuel. In Bangladesh, mustard oil used as edible oil has been all over the country. Mustard is a widely grown plants, more than demand in Bangladesh and the mustard seed is produced annually. Therefore, to use the remaining mustard oil diesel fuel as a substitute. Fuel properties determine the standard procedure in fuel testing laboratory. An experimental device, and then a small diesel engine made in a laboratory using different conversion from the properties of biodiesel blend of mustard oil. The study found, biodiesel diesel fuel has a slightly different than the property. Also observed, and bio diesel, engine is able to without difficulty, but deviates from its optimal performance. Biodiesel was different (B20, B30, B50) of the blends have been used in engine or a fuel supply system, in order to avoid the complex deformation. Finally, it has been carried out to compare the performance of different operating conditions with different blends of Biodiesel Engine, in order to determine the optimal blends.
