Simulations are carried out to determine the voltage-displacement characteristics of the QAFAPA using MATLAB/Simulink software. To perform the pumping action, slotted pumping diaphragm is designed considering acrylic as the material and is analyzed for its stiffness using ANSYS analysis software. The slotted pumping diaphragm is fabricated, and the stiffness is experimentally determined which matched well with the analysis result. One pumping actuator and one actuator similar for inlet and outlet valve is developed. Voltage-displacement experiments are carried out on the valve actuator and the pumping actuator. Further, the displacement of the slotted pumping diaphragm when assembled with pumping actuator is experimentally determined. Simulation and experimental results were compared, and the results obtained were in good agreement with each other.","PeriodicalId":16153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanical Engineering Research and Developments","volume":"170 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86802071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present paper, time domain simulation is performed using ANSYS software to investigate the transient unbalance response of rotor – bearing system. The transient vibration response of the rotor system passing through the critical speeds is analysed under different startup speed profiles. Startup speed profile is represented by exponential formula with single parameter (δ) that indicates whether the startup speed is rapid or slow. The results show that for slow machine startup; the system will remain at the critical speeds for a long period allowing the vibration response to be increased. On the other hand, rapid machine startup passing through the critical speeds will reduce the vibration response. In addition, the numerical simulation results show that applying initial slow startup speed profile followed by instantaneous switch to rapid startup speed profile can reduce the vibration response significantly and more than for applying only rapid startup speed profile.","PeriodicalId":16153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanical Engineering Research and Developments","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86003747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Differences in deposit composition can be observed between engine families and between driving cycles with the same engine family. Besides, deposit also causes the jam between the motive mechanical parts in engine combustion chamber, even cause the abnormal combustion.

It is not difficult to realize that gas turbines utilize exhaust gas energy to increase the intake air pressure. Exhaust gas turbines are convenient enough to complete the shipbuilding industry in line with the norms of the world maritime organization, including EEDI (energy efficiency design index) and SEEMP (ship energy efficiency management plan). Thus, satisfying IMO's EEDI and SEEMP criteria under MARPOL Annex VI, the completion of the design and exploitation of turbocharged exhaust turbines should be a top priority. Exhaust gas turbines increase the intake air pressure to improve the performance of diesel engines, so it is almost present on most diesel engines. Mastering the structure and working principles to improve the efficiency of turbines continuously is an urgent requirement. Besides, it is necessary to follow the manufacturer's instructions and research to effectively exploit turbines that will contribute to increasing economic efficiency and contributing to reducing environmental pollution emissions. The article focuses on analyzing measures to overcome the causes of working instability of the main diesel engine's exhaust gas turbine, which will contribute a small part in completing exhaust gas turbines. Based on mastering the knowledge of exhaust gas turbine, we can choose the turbine layout to utilize exhaust gas heat suitable for diesel engines.

The objective of this project is to calculate and analyze cycle time of main moulding process of wind turbine blade of 50 meters and above length. The time analysis was made by noting down start and end time of each event in moulding process. The time analysis data, which was taken, was transferred to excel sheets and Gap analysis and Pareto charts were drawn. Based on the data gathered, delay time was analyzed for each event in the process and also the key factors which caused the delay was found. The result obtained from the chart can be used to reduce the key factors which caused the delay in the production time. From the data collected and analyzed, it can be concluded that the major delay reasons in the main moulding process is due to layer missing from MPRP (Material preparation), repairs, x-shell induced delay.
