High-performance process fluids used for vibration finishing of parts with granular media made of natural material “Baykalit”

The results of studies of the technological capabilities of granular media made of natural material “Baykalit” in the conditions of vibration technological systems are presented. Baikalit is a siliceous rock-fine-grained quartzite (microquartzite) - with an aggregate structure of quartz grains measuring 1.5-3 microns with sharp boundaries between these very grains. The granules obtained as a result of crushing the mineral rock Baikalit have a sufficiently high hardness (at least 6.0 - 7.0 on the Mohs scale). The presence of many wedge-shaped vertices along the perimeter of the granules and the arbitrariness of the shape allows us to consider them as a universal cutting tool that has access to various surfaces of complexity. It is shown that vibration treatment with granular media made of natural material “Baykalit” reduces the height of the initial surface micrprofile by 0.2-0.3 microns and is an effective way to remove burrs when processing parts with a surface microprofile height of more than 0.63 microns. The use of process fluids, which include increasing the wetting capacity of both Baikalit and processed workpieces, reduces the technological time of vibration processing by 1.5 times. The presence of components in the process fluid, such as protective colloids (Na CMC), prevents the sludge from sticking to the galtovochnye bodies, that is, prevents the “salting” of their profile, reduces the rigidity of the layer on the surface of the galtovochnyh bodies and workpieces, which contributes to productivity growth.

Process fluid as a technological system element of vibro-impact parts processing

Vibro-impact processing refers to finishing processing methods, which largely determine the operational part properties. It is shown that the parameter optimization of the vibro-impact processing is a very promising area of improving the part quality and reducing their manufacturing cost.One of the most important technological system elements is the process fluid. As a result of the priory information analysis, factors that determine the parameters of the vibro-impact processing were identified.Because of theoretical studies, the process fluid parameters and flushing mode influence degree on the process parameters and treated part quality indicators was determined. The process fluid is presented as a set of unit volumes that form an elastically deformable matrix. The necessary list of initial data for determining the maximum allowable process fluid amount in the mass load volume has been identified.The dependence for determining the minimum required process fluid volume is presented. A complex parameter that characterizes the change in the load mass volume in one oscillations cycle, together with the working chamber oscillation frequency and the process fluid fluidity, which determine both the fluid flow process nature (turbulent) and the flow rate inside the load mass is proposed. Based on the complex parameter, the load mass flushing speed is determined. It is shown that at this stage, the numerical value of the parameter can only be determined experimentally. Its theoretical definition is a promising area of further research.

Influence of Machining Parameters on the Surface Quality of Technical Plastics

The article deals with the evaluation of the influence of conventional methods of machining on the surface quality of selected technical plastics. The thermoplastic polymer polyoximethylene (POM-C) Ertacetal C and polyamide (PA 6) Ertalon 6SA were selected for machining. Both materials are suitable for machining and are used for the production of precision mechanical components (e.g. gears, plain bearings, guides, etc.), but also in electronics and electrical engineering. In all these applications, the quality of machined surfaces is important, especially for functional surfaces that interact with other surfaces. Test specimens from these materials were turned and milled. The technological conditions of machining (revolutions per minute n, cutting speed vc , feed f, depth of cut ap ) were adapted to achieve approximately the same surface roughness values. The milled samples were machined with and without cooling medium (for drought). Turning was performed only dry. As the cutting speed vc increased, the surface roughness of the turned Ertacetal C material decreased, while milling led to a deterioration in the roughness as the cutting speed vc increased. Similar behavior was observed for Ertalon 6SA. The process fluid led to a deterioration in the roughness of the milled surfaces of both plastics. Turned surfaces showed worse roughness than milled surfaces.

Parameters Affecting Efficiency of Centrifugal Pump - A Review

The pump is used as one of the most significant components in chemical industry so without its existence process may not be completed, because for any fluid to flow, initial driving force is required and it is fulfilled by the pump by consuming electrical energy and converting it to pressure energy. So, the selection of pump is very important in every field of section, depending on the property of process fluid. The Centrifugal pump is most demanding nowadays because it has simple design, less maintenance, can handle large quantities of fluids, and provides very high flow rates. The Centrifugal pump has mainly two components rotating components and stationary components. Shaft and impeller (open, semi-enclosed, and fully-enclosed) comes under the category of rotating components and casing (Volute, Vortex, and circular) comes under stationary components. Various parameters of process fluid like liquid viscosity, temperature, specific gravity, vapor pressure, concentration, shear sensitive and abrasive or non-abrasive, MOC, pump environment, pressure, flow rate, etc. are calculated to gain the desired efficiency and prevent a problem like cavitation if not properly handled. In this paper, a single-stage centrifugal pump is reviewed and studied how to increase performance and efficiency of centrifugal pump.

Low frequency vibratory cleaning of paint and rust contaminants from machines parts

This work investigates the effect of low frequency vibratory processing for cleaning and washing various machine components parts from rusts and old paints deposits. The experimental investigation was carried out with special prepared samples that were weighted and exposed to paints and rust contaminants. These samples were treated in universal horizontal vibration machine UVHM 4 × 10 with different combination of instrumental processing medium, process fluid, machine amplitude and frequency of oscillations. They were periodically reweighted after processing and compared to etalon with control of quantity of dust that have been removed, sample cleanliness and also other functional parameters. Statistical analysis has been used to characterize ongoing process and full factorial analysis to establish experimental parameters dependency. The result is showing the complex dependence of samples cleanliness to each processing parameters like processing time, amplitude of oscillations, frequency of oscillations, process fluid parameters, instrumental medium, etc. Between this parameters although the most important successively the amplitude of oscillations, the frequency of oscillations the processing medium and the processing fluid depending to his considered composition, the optimal processing time can be reach only by complex combination of all this parameters every of them carry an amplify coefficient. Low frequency oscillations can be used to monitor and optimize washing and cleaning operations of paints and rusts contaminations. That guarantees process automation, its effectiveness for a large industrial application.

Three Dimensional Boger Nanofluid Flow Explored with Carbon Nanotubes Over a Riga Plate

An extensive diversity of industrial processes captivate the transfer of heat energy. An extensive task for industrial necessity throughout every industrial efficiency, heat and mass transfer taking place from one process stream to another. These processes provide a source for energy recovery and process fluid heating/cooling. In the present investigation we study the Boger nanofluid flow with carbon nanotubes over a riga plate. Borger nanofluid model is used to characterize the behavior of the fluids having activation energy (E), Solvent fraction parameter (β1), and ratio of relaxation time parameter (λ1) over a riga plate. The modeled boundary layer conservation equations are renovated to non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations by a suitable transformation. Python programming language with bvp solver was adopted to obtain numerical solutions of the resulting equations by using the Runge–Kutta method along with shooting technique. This analysis reveals many significant physical aspects of flow and heat transfer. Estimations are achieved over thermo-physical parameter with single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT).

Study of the well near-bottomhole zone permeability during treatment by process fluids

In the process of drilling-in productive horizons, several irreversible physical and chemical processes take place in the near-wellbore zone of the formation: stress state of the rocks changes, penetration of the filtrate and solid phase, as well as drilling mud into the reservoir, and swelling of clay particles of intergranular cementing material are observed. As a result, permeability of productive horizon is significantly reduced and, consequently, potential inflow of oil or gas from formation is excluded. An equally serious problem exists during well servicing and workover, when the use of irrational fluids of well killing causes negative consequences associated with deterioration of reservoir properties of formations in the wells being repaired. Article presents the results of the experiments on permeability of clayed porous samples after exposure to various compositions of liquids. In order to increase permeability of near-borehole zone of the formation and increase productivity of wells completed by drilling, and after well servicing and workover, a composition of the process fluid containing a 15 % aqueous solution of oxyethylene diphosphonic acid (OEDA) with addition of a surfactant is proposed.
