Other Machines

Thc.se systems were evolved to provide a variable -frequency supply source to feed directly the stator terminals of the a.e. motor or its rotor through the slip-rings, The motors had to be invariably a combination of two or more slip-ring motors to receive the rotor frequency voltage from the other machine or feed back the rotor frequency voltage to another machine. The easiest method was to have a variable-frequency supply source, which was not possible, unless the supply source itself was captive and specified for this drive alone or a combination of these drives on the same bus. 

Earlier a change in its input power or excitation would vary the output, frequency or the voltage of the other machine. There is no such influence on an infinite bus. 

The frequency of the incoming machine,/i, must be almost the same as that of the other machine,/2, or thebus,/b-Permissible variation Af = within 0.15 Hz. 

The smaller framed hot gas expanders are often equipped with two control valves, each controlling a segment of 30% and 20%, respectively, of the total inlet. It is possible to vary the inlet cross-sectional area of these segments, within limits, by later replacing individual nozzles with blind fillers or vice-versa. Other machines may feature full arc admission without control valves. 

Figure 1-3 presented a general form performance curve for each of the compressors. The centrifugal compressor exhibited a relatively flat curve compared to the other machines. Flat is defined as a relatively low head rise for a volume change. Translated to pressure terms, it means a relatively low pressure change for a given volume change. It is important to understand some of the basics that contribute to the curve shape. 

Ill 1759 Smeaton presented to the Royal Society a paper entitled An Experimental Enquiry concerning the natural Power of Water and Wind to turn mills, and other machines, depending on a circular motion. This paper was the result of a series of experiments carried out in 1752 and 1753, Smeaton having delayed its publication until he had put his deductions into practice. At the time there was a lively debate as to the merits of undershot and overshot waterwheels, but little published data to substantiate various claims. Smeaton s solution to this problem depended solely on experiments made with working...

Process rolls are widely used by industry. As with other machine components, two radial (X- and Y-axis) and one axial (Z-axis) measurements should be acquired from each roll. However, the orientation of these measurement points... 

This type of coupling effect is common in single-reduction/increase gearboxes or other machine-train components where multiple running or rotational speeds are relatively close together or even integer multiples of one another. It is more destructive than other forms of coupling in that it coincides with real vibration components and tends to amplify any defects within the machine-train. 

Lubricating-film instability is the dominant failure mode for sleeve bearings. This instability is typically caused by eccentric, or off-center, rotation of the machine shaft resulting from imbalance, misalignment, or other machine or process-related problems. Figure 44.48 shows a Babbitt bearing that exhibits instability. 

This method provides the means to quickly monitor the mechanical condition of critical machine components, not just the overall machine condition. This technique provides the ability to monitor the condition of gear sets, bearings and other machine components without manual analysis of vibration signatures. 

If we add the narrowband information acquired from the Hoffman blower, we find that the vertical data is primarily at the true running speed of the common shaft. This confirms that a deflection of the shaft exists. No other machine component or failure mode is contributing to the problem. The horizontal measurements indicate that the bladepass, bearing defect and misalignment narrowbands are the major contributors.

A more common use of informatics for data analysis is the development of (quantitative) structure-property relationships (QSPR) for the prediction of materials properties and thus ultimately the design of polymers. Quantitative structure-property relationships are multivariate statistical correlations between the property of a polymer and a number of variables, which are either physical properties themselves or descriptors, which hold information about a polymer in a more abstract way. The simplest QSPR models are usually linear regression-type models but complex neural networks and numerous other machine-learning techniques have also been used.
