Rotor speed

The American version of the dynamic filter, known as the Artisan continuous filter (Fig. 30), uses such nonfiltering rotors in the form of turbine-type elements. The cylindrical vessel is divided into a series of disk-type compartments, each housing one rotor, and the stationary surfaces are covered with filter cloth. The feed is pumped in at one end of the vessel, forced to pass through the compartments in series, and discharged as a thick paste at the other end. At low rotor speeds the cake thickness is controlled by the clearance between the scraper and the filter medium on the stationary plate, while at higher speeds part of the cake is swept away and only a thin layer remains and acts as the actual medium. 

For the dispersed phase firm relationships have not been established, but at high rotor speeds, Eq may be 1 to 3 times Ec- In any event, axial mixing for the hquid flowing at the lower rate becomes very severe for extreme flow ratios (>10).

These heaters are avaifable with rotors up to 6 m (20 ft) in diameter. Gas temperatures up to 1255 K (1800°F) can be accommodated. Gas face velocity is usually around 2.5 m/s (500 ft/min). The rotor height depends on service, efficiency, and operating conditions but usually is between 0.2 and 0.91 m (8 and 36 in). Rotors are driven by small motors with rotor speed up to 20 r/min. Heater effectiveness can be as high as 85 to 90 percent neat recovery. Lungstrom-type heaters are used in power-plant boilers and also in the process industries for heat recoveiy and for air-conditioning and building heating. 

The rotor speed must then be inereased to trip speed to eheek the overspeed trip setting, then redueed to maximum eontinuous speed and held for a minimum of 1 hr. Extended testing time should be alloeated if neeessary to reaeh satisfaetory equilibrium eonditions. Tlie lube oil must be held near design inlet temperamre during tlie meehanieal test. Data logging should be done in 15 min intervals for all measuring points. 

After the eonelusion of the 4 hr hot test, the expander rotor speed shall be smoothly deereased and inereased from rated speed to approximately 500 rpm to obtain a reeord of the vibration levels. 

This speed becomes critical when the frequency of excitation is equal to one of the natural frequencies of the system. In forced vibration, the system is a function of the frequencies. These frequencies can also be multiples of rotor speed excited by frequencies other than the speed frequency such as blade passing frequencies, gear mesh frequencies, and other component frequencies. Figure 5-20 shows that for forced vibration, the critical frequency remains constant at any shaft speed. The critical speeds occur at one-half, one, and two times the rotor speed. The effect of damping in forced vibration reduces the amplitude, but it does not affect the frequency at which this phenomenon occurs. 

The most obvious way to prevent oil whirl is to restrict the maximum rotor speed to less than twice its critical. Sometimes oil whip can be reduced or eliminated by changing the viscosity of the oil or by controlling the oil...

In most designs, the reaetion of the turbine varies from hub to shroud. The impulse turbine is a reaetion turbine with a reaetion of zero (R = 0). The utilization factor for a fixed nozzle angle will increase as the reaction approaches 100%. For = 1, the utilization factor does not reach unity but reaches some maximum finite value. The 100% reaction turbine is not practical because of the high rotor speed necessary for a good utilization factor. For reaction less than zero, the rotor has a diffusing action. Diffusing action in the rotor is undesirable, since it leads to flow losses. 

Rotor speeds are such that dynamic balancing is required for proper vibration control. Also, while the critical speeds are generally above the operating speed, review of the rotor dynamics should not be ignored, jwi ticularly for the dry type. 

This represents a shaking force at a frequency equal to rotor speed. For foundation design, a value of 5 to 10 times the residual unbalance or A to 1 times rotor weight at operating speed would be a reasonable design value. The direction of the force is perpendicular to the shaft, and operates as a rotating vector which can be centered between the bearings. 

During the actual preparation of the GPC/SEC gel, there are several noteworthy items in the procedure. When combining aqueous and organic phases, always pour the organic phase into the water phase as the reverse procedure produces very large particles. This mixture must be held at 40°C to prevent the initiator from starting the reaction before the right size particles are formed. Rotor speed determines the particle size of the spheres the faster the speed the smaller the particles. Constant torque mixers produce the best results with more narrow particle-size distributions. The initial mixture should be stirred at 300-400 rpm to ensure a particle-size distribution from 2 to 20 yam.

Most turbines are designed to rotate at a constant speed over a specific range of wind speed conditions. The generators in these turbines produce electricity compatible with the established grid system into which electricity is fed. Operating the turbine at variable rotor speeds increases the range of wind speeds over which the turbine operates. The amount of energy produced annually is increased as well. However, sophisticated power electronics is required to convert the electricity to the gi id standard frequency. 

Gel strength, in units of lbf/100 ft , is obtained by noting the maximum dial deflection when the rotational viscometer is turned at a low rotor speed (usually 3 rpm) after the mud has remained static for some period of time. If the mud is allowed to remain static in the viscometer for a period of 10 s, the maximum dial deflection obtained when the viscometer is turned on is reported as the initial gel on the API mud report form. If the mud is allowed to remain static for 10 min, the maximum dial deflection is reported as the 10-min gel. 

Dynamic When the natural frequency of a rotating, or dynamic, structure (e.g., rotor assembly in a fan) is energized, the rotating element resonates. This phenomenon is classified as dynamic resonance and the rotor speed at which it occurs is referred to as the critical. In most cases. 

In most cases, running speed is the forcing function that excites the natural frequency of the dynamic component. As a result, rotating equipment is designed to operate at primary rotor speeds that do not coincide with the rotor assembly s natural frequencies. Most low- to moderate-speed machines are designed to operate below the first critical speed of the rotor assembly. 

Although the definition of dynamic imbalance covers all two-plane situations, an understanding of the components of dynamic imbalance is needed so that its causes can be understood. Also, an understanding of the components makes it easier to understand why certain types of balancing do not always work with many older balancing machines for overhung rotors and very narrow rotors. The primary components of dynamic imbalance include number of points of imbalance, amount of imbalance, phase relationships, and rotor speed. 

Rotor speed is the final factor that must be considered. Most rotating elements are balanced at their normal running speed or over their normal speed range. As a result, they may be out of balance at some speeds that are not included in the balancing solution. As an example, the wheel and tires on your car are dynamically balanced for speeds ranging from zero to the maximum expected speed (i.e., 80 miles per hour). At speeds above 80 miles per hour, they may be out of balance.
