Rotary speed

The continuously stirred mill can be fed by screw feeders from several material bins siiTuiltaneously, thus blending uniform compositions, without incurring problems of transporting imperfectly blended or agglomerated mixtures. A series of mills may be used with decreasing media size and increasing rotary speed to achieve desired fine-particle size. No additional feed pumps are needed.

Rotary Speed. Diamond bits can usually be rotated at up to 150 rpm without any problem when hole conditions and drill string design permit. Rotary speeds of 200 and 300 rpm can be used with stabilized drill strings in selected areas. Diamond bits have also operated very successfully with downhole motors at 600 to 900 rpm. The actual rotary speed limits are usually imposed by safety.

The downhole turbine motors that are hydraulically operated have some fundamental limitations. One of these is high rotary speed of the motor and drill bit. The high rotary speeds limit the use of downhole turbine motors when drilling with roller rock bits. The high speed of these direct drive motors shortens the life of the roller rock bit. 

Rotary speed of the positive displacement motor is directly proportional to flowrate. Torque is directly proportional to pressure. Thus, normal surface instruments can be used to monitor the operation of the motor downhole. 

The driller uses the curves by selecting the WOB and RPM corresponding to the highest ROP. The curves can also be used to quantify the advantages of running unconventional weights-on-bit and rotary speeds.

It is clear that the response of the screw feeder to the step change of the tracer depends on the rotary speed of the screw. For convenience, the responses at various rotary speeds are calibrated prior to the experimental measurements as the curves of the tracer concentration versus time, which represent the responses as known functions of time. For each rotary speed, the calibration was carried out two or three times, and the data were averaged. 

The relationship between the feed rate of the wet PVC and the rotary speed of the screw feeder was calibrated prior to all the experiments. 

In each run, the annular chamber of the dryer is first filled with a certain amount of dry PVC powder and then the hot airflows I and II are turned on to preheat the system. When the temperature of the material inside the dryer achieves the required value, the screw feeder is turned on and the experimental operation begins. About one hour later, when operation of the system achieves stable conditions, sampling is started and, at the same time, the dry- and wet-bobble temperatures at the inlet and the outlet of the dryer, the flow rates of Hot air I and II, and the rotary speed of the screw feeder are recorded.

Similar to the case of the investigation on micromixing, the impinging velocity cannot be adjusted and controlled directly, but is done by changing the rotary speed of the propellers, N. Prior to all the measurements the curve describing the relationship between (> and N was calibrated with the same method as that used in Ref. [110], and the results are shown in Fig. 11.2, in which the curve is, in turn, used for conversion between the rotary speed and the impinging velocity in the data treatment. The curve in Fig. 11.2 is essentially the same as that shown in Fig. 10.9 but with some differences in specific data. The existence of such differences is natural, because the shape of the propeller paddle and particularly the width of the gap between the paddle of the propeller and the drawing tube have a fundamental influence on the flow rate drawn by the propeller, while errors in mechanical manufacture are also unavoidable..
