Lifting efficiency

Kit design considerations include (a) avoiding contamination from external sources and cross contamination between sampling areas, (b) lifting efficiency, (c) matrix compatibility with subsequent laboratory procedures, (d) ease of use and preparation, and (e) cost, purity, availability of materials. 

Whatever form of kit is used the lifting efficiency depends to a large extent on the care taken by the sampler. 

The settling velocity of the partieles in three kinds of diameters are relatively small. Even if the fluid viscosity is 25 mPa s, the settling velocity of the particles are less than 0.25 m/s. when the fluid viscosity is 70 mPa s, the settling velocity of the particles are less than or equal to 0.15 m/s, with high particles lift efficiency.

In Figure 13, particle settling velocity decreases with increasing of the fluid effective viscosity. The lifting efficiency of the particle also increases. This is because the increasing of the effective viscosity makes the shear stress generated on the particle increase.

Considering particle lifting-efficiency effect on the annulus apparent-density, the optimal values of drilling fluid parameters are AT > 0.7, Ci = 1%. Such performance can ensure the efficiency of the particles carried out of the borehole. 

Particle settling velocity decreases with the increasing of effective fluid viscosity. However, the lifting efficiency of the particle increases. 

Variable Flow Rate Conventional variable clearance volume and valve lifting devices are impracticable at high pressures and, should it be necessary to vary the flow rate, use has to be made of variable speed electric drives or magnetic clutches. Integral steam and gas engines have been used and Burckhardt (168) developed an hydrauhc drive to provide an integrated variable capacity machine, but its efficiency is less than that of a straight mechanical drive. 

Methylene chloiide formulas are the most common organic chemical removers. The low molar volume of methylene chloride allows it to rapidly penetrate the finish by entering the microvoids of the finish. When the solvent teaches the substrate, the remover releases the adhesive bond between the finish and the substrate and causes the finish to swell. The result is a bhstering effect and an efficient rapid lifting action. Larger molecule solvents generally cannot... 

The simple ejector or siphon is widely used, in spite of its low efficiency, for transferring liquids from one tank to another, for lifting acids, alkahes, or solid-containing liquids of an abrasive nature, and for emptying sumps. 

The mechanical output of the motor for crimes iind hoists in lifting the hook load is the useful work done by it. The losses produced in the crane or hoist mechanism are taken into account by the mechanical efficiency of the hoisting mechanism. 

The poppet valve (see Figure 3-13) consists of multiple, same-size ports and sealing elements. The advantage of the valve is that has a high flow efficiency due to the high lift used and the streamlined shape of the sealing element. The disadvantage is that the valve is not tolerant of... 

Any effect of Mach number is experienced by rotor and stator equally and thus neither (or both) are limiting, and this Mach number will be lower than for other degrees of reaction under the conditions stated. If equal lift and drag are assumed in both rotor and stator, then optimum efficiency is obtained with R = 0.5 and VJu = 0.5. Although the latter is not always true, it does provide a useful criterion. Furthermore, the blade angles are similar in rotor and stator, which may be an advantage in the... 

Earlier, it was stated, on the basis of simplifying assumptions, that the maximum efficiency for 50% reaction blading was obtained at a value of Vj/u = 0.5, requiring mean gas angles of 45 The assumption for this result was that the drag-lift ratio was constant. In actual practice, cascade data indicate that drag-lift is not constant but increases as tt2 increases It would appear that the maximum efficiency may be close to U2 = However, the reduction in efficiency is not severe because for values of a.2 of 15° and 45°, the drop is only about 1%. 

In addition to valve velocity, the manufacturer can furnish the effective flow area of the valve. This area is determined by measuring the pressure drop across the valve with a known flow rate and then calculating an equivalent orifice area that provides the same pressure drop. Valves with larger effective flow areas have less pressure drop and better efficiencies. The effects of the seat area, the lift area, and the flow paths are automati-... 

A typical Worthington BDC plate valve in closed position. All passageways, lift clearances, springs and plates have been dynamically designed and individually selected for maximum flow efficiencies. The individual spring plate valve offers both efficiency and reliability advantages over valves that have flexing strips or plates. 

When the hook load is lifted, friction losses in crown block and traveling block sheaves occur. It is normally assumed that these losses are approximately 2% deduction per working line. Under dynamic conditions, there will be an efficiency factor for the block and tackle system to reflect these losses. The efficiency will be denoted as the hook-to-drawwork efficiency (e, ). The force in the fast line under dynamic conditions (i.e., hook is moving) will be... 

In 1854, the Manchester Steam Users Association was formed to help with the prevention of explosions in steam boilers and to find efficient methods in their use. To achieve this, the Association employed the first boiler inspectors, whose services were then made available to the Association s members. Within a short space of time, the members became convinced that insurance to cover the high cost of repair or replacement of damaged boilers was desirable, and this resulted in the first boiler insurance company (The Steam Boiler Assurance Company) being formed in 1858. The scope of the services for inspection and insurance later extended to include pressure vessels, steam engines, cranes, lifts and electrical plant, the insurance protection in each case being supported by an inspection service carried out by qualified engineer surveyors.
