Rotor analysis

Thermodynamic properties calculated for the current study are presented in Table 7.5. Enthalpy of formation and entropy values are reported at 298 K, as most experimental data are referenced or available at 298 K. This facilitates the use of these thermodynamic properties and the use of isodesmic reaction set. Entropies and heat capacities are calculated by statistical mechanics using the harmonic-oscillator approximation for vibrations, based on frequencies and moments of inertia of the optimized B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) structures. Torsional frequencies are not included in the contributions to entropy and heat capacities instead, they are replaced with values from a separate analysis on each internal rotor analysis (IR).

With a failed shaft, the impeller could be free to spin in a reverse direction as opposed to being fixed in position as is the case when a locked rotor occurs. This results in a decrease in the end point (steady-state) core flow. For both the shaft break and locked rotor incidents, reactor trip occurs very early in the transient. In addition, the locked rotor analysis conservatively assumes that DNB occurs at the begirming of the transient. The calculated results presented for the locked rotor analysis boimd the reactor coolant piunp shaft break event. No radiological release would result from faults of Ihis grouping. 

Pump vibration measurements and analysis of the ampHtude—frequency spectmm have led to the deterrnination of possible equipment ailments. Examples of frequency relationships to particular pump vibration problems are available (62). Eor example, a one-time (lx) frequency corresponding to a mnning speed usually indicates the presence of rotor unbalance, a 2 x peak may mean a bent shaft, and a - O.dx may be a symptom of an oil whip at the sleeve bearing. 

Analysis of soils is an important task in the environmental researches. Reliability of ICP-MS results of soil analysis mainly depends on chemical sampling. Recently microwave systems are widely used for preparation of different samples. Influence of microwave radiation on sample ensures a complete decomposition of sample, greatly increases the mineralization, and allows possible losses of volatile elements to be minimized. In the given study to intensify decomposition of soils we applied the microwave sample preparation system MULTIWAVE (Anton Paar, Austria and Perkin-Elmer, USA) equipped with rotor from 6 autoclaves with TEM reaction chambers of 50 ml volume. 

Mathematical modelling of the machine is a complex subject and is not discussed here. For this, research and development works carried out by engineers and the textbooks available on the subject may be consulted. A few references are provided in the Further reading at the end of this chapter. In the above analysis we have considered the rotor flux as the reference frame. In fact any of the following may be fixed as the reference frame and accordingly the motor s mathematical model can be developed ... 

The S -shaped flexible elements were required to keep the stiffness and stresses low, due to the relatively heavy rotor weight as evident by the finite element stress analysis shown in Figure 6-30. The wire EDM teehnology allows the produetion of sueh a damper deviee, whieh ean be easily designed with an offset to eompensate for the defleetion due to rotor weight. 

Beeause the study of rotor dynamies and vibration analysis is eontained in numerous texts only some basie troubleshooting tables and guidelines are presented. They deseribe the most eommon peaks in a typieal vibration analysis speetrum and how these symptoms might be mitigated. 

The present trend in rotating equipment is toward inereasing design speeds, whieh inereases operational problems from vibration lienee the importanee of vibration analysis. A thorough appreeiation of vibration analysis will aid in the diagnoses of rotor dynamies problems. 

The predicted rotor response of an anticipated unbalance distribution is significant. This type of analysis may indicate a sensitive rotor which should be balanced at rated speed. It will also indicate which components need to be carefully balanced prior to assembly. 

Figure 9-13). A response, of course, is a sudden rise in amplitude at a speed. The analysis is performed using a mathematical model that includes the effects of damping in the equations, making the model much more complex than any previous analysis. The University of Virginia carries out continuous research in which a consortium of users, vendors, and researchers provide funds, and data and interchange ideas to advance the science of rotor dynamics. Other organizations, such as the Bently Rotor Dynamics Research Corporation and Texas A M University, are also carrying on similar work on a continuing basis.

The (arbitrary) overall efficiency and specific work quantities obtained from these calculations are illustrated as carpet plots in Fig. 4.11. It is seen that the specific work is reduced by the turbine cooling, which leads to a drop in the rotor inlet temperature and the turbine work output. Again this conclusion is consistent with the preliminary analysis and calculations made earlier in this chapter. 

Advanced two- and three-dimensional computer analysis methods are used today in the analyses of all critical components to verify aerodynamic, heat transfer, and mechanical performance. Additionally, the reduction of leakage paths in the compressor, as well as in the gas turbine expander, results in further plant efficiency improvements. At the compressor inlet, an advanced inlet flow design improves efficiency by reducing pressure loss. Rotor air cooler heat utilization and adt anccd blade and vane cooling arc also used. 

The second method uses the slip frequency to monitor for loose rotor bars. The passing frequency created by this failure mode energizes modulations associated with slip. This method is preferred since these frequency components are within the normal bandwidth used for vibration analysis.
