Wankel Rotary Engine: A History by John B. Hege Well Done Conceived in the 1930s‚ simplified and successfully tested in the 1950s‚ the darling of the automotive industry in the early 1970s‚ then all but abandoned before resurging for a brilliant run as a high-performance powerplant for Mazda‚ the Wankel rotary engine has long been an object of fascination and more than a little mystery. A remarkably simple design (yet understood by few)‚ it boasts compact size‚ light weight and nearly vibration-free

machinery problem. We intend to do a project on “Vibration analysis of centrifugal pump at BPCL Kochi Refinery”. The vibration analysis we have done is a part of predictive maintenance on rotary equipments. This technique is mainly used for the improved performance of equipments. Using this we can predict the condition of internal parts of the equipment. We are mainly dealing with the vibration analysis of centrifugal pump‚ compressors and motors. It includes typical causes of vibration like misalignment

Centrifugal Pump @ 1750 RPM · Figure 1 Head Pressure versus Flowrate · Figure 2 Ideal Power versus Head Pressure (H) · Sample Calculations · Raw Data Discussion of Experiment A centrifugal pump contains an impeller or set of vanes encased in housing. Energy is added to the fluid in the form of velocity and pressure as a result of the impeller turning. An engineer must determine the range of flow rates required when using a centrifugal pump. The centrifugal

A turbine is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work. 1.Steam Turbines 2. Wind Turbines 3. Water Turbines 4. Gas Turbines It is a device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. The steam turbine is a form of heat engine that derives much of its improvement in thermodynamic efficiency through the use of multiple stages in the expansion of the steam

Centrifugal pump A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to increase the pressure of a fluid. Centrifugal pumps are commonly used to move liquids through a piping system. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller‚ flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing)‚ from where it exits into the downstream piping system.[1][2] Centrifugal pumps are used for large discharge through smaller

Svetlozar Simeonov 09/25/11 Wankel Rotary Engine – Huge Power in a Small Box According to Philip’s Encyclopedia Wankel rotary engine or just Wankel engine is “Internal combustion engine with rotors instead of pistons.” That not so popular engine is actually about two times lighter than a four cylinder piston engine‚ the one that we all have in our cars‚ for the same power output. It also has four times less moving parts. Much simpler‚ much lighter‚ much smaller it has numerous advantages

Dexter Holman October 16‚ 2011 CBAD 478 Rotary Cove Beach: Practice Case Analysis Rotary Cove Beach‚ of Goderich‚ Ontario‚ is troubled due to not having direct revenue streams‚ which in turn causes the beach to lose money on a yearly basis. The YMCA acquired the Cove’s operations in 2003. More recent‚ the Goderich Town Council gave a $20‚000 donation for operations‚ but the unprofitability of the Cove has caused the Council to reevaluate whether they should spend taxpayers money on a tanking beach

CENTRIFUGAL PUMP A centrifugal pump converts the input power to kinetic energy in the liquid by accelerating the liquid by a revolving device - an impeller. The most common type is the volute pump. Fluid enters the pump through the eye of the impeller which rotates at high speed. The fluid is accelerated radially outward from the pump chasing. A vacuum is created at the impellers eye that continuously draws more fluid into the pump. The energy created by the pump is kinetic energy according the
