The steam ejector system has a capacity to generate a medium vacuum 101 kPa (1 atm) a 0,1 Pa (0,01 mbar), the liquid ring pumps only reach 3 kPa (30 mbar) and dried pump cover the range of 101 kPa (1 atm) até 67 Pa (0,67 mbar), band required for use in secondary metallurgy and is the limit of this technology. In this work was realized a case study in the industrial sector that uses the vacuum generation through steam ejectors superheated at 250 ° C and 1,2 MPa (12 kgf/cm2). The vacuum is needed for removal of undesirable gases in the composition of the steel as nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and sulfur which causes weakness in the crystalline structure. Currently there have been technological innovations for vacuum generation in applications in VD (vacuum degassing), vacuums until to 67 Pa (0,67 mbar) and VOD (decarburization) for vacuums of 8-20 kPa (80-200 mbar). One of these innovations is mechanical pumps dried formed by three-stage vacuum, joining various technologies, the first and second rotor roots and the third screw rotor. In this study the objective was to measure the real returns offered by the steam ejector system, along with the performance of the boiler compared to the new dry pump technology in steel making industry, will present the advantages, disadvantages and cost effective to replace the vacuum generating system. Representing a 92,7% reduction in energy consumption and 81,4 % reduction in operating costs

The analysis and design of a hybrid-coupled tunnel-diode amplifier is described, considering both the hybrid junction and the tunnel-diode circuitry. The fundamental theory of the tunnel diode is reviewed. The hybrid junction is in the form of a strip-line directional coupler which makes use of the inherent contra-directional coupling between two adjacent transmission lines. A complete analysis of the frequency dependence of the response of such a coupler is given. The amplifier is realized using the coupler and a pair of matched diodes terminating mutually isolated ports. To optimize the performance of this type of amplifier the design of the coupler is integrated with the design of the diode circuit. In doing so, account is taken of the frequency dependence of the hybrid junction, an aspect of the problem which has not been treated in the literature. As an example, an amplifier covering the VHF television channels is designed, and experimental results of a working model for a 50-ohm system are presented. The amplifier uses the periodicity of the directional coupler to provide two pass bands spanning Channels 2 to 6 (54 to 88 Mc) and Channels 7 to 12 (174 to 216 Mc), respectively. The two GE lN2939A tunnel diodes used for the amplifier provide a gain of 7.8 db ± 0.3 db for the lower band and 8.9 db ± 0.45 db for the upper band. The maximum input VSWR for the lower and upper bands are less than 2.3 and 3.2, respectively. The theoretical noise figure for a bias current of 0.7 ma is 3.79 db. It is found that the experimental results are in general agreement with the theory. Suggestions for improvement are given in cases where discrepancies do occur. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of / Graduate

In the iterative method for producing maximally-flat response for the multicavity klystron amplifier, a choice must be made in allocating poles to cavities. In this thesis, a method is described for selecting the tuning pattern which will give flat response with maximum gain for a specific multicavity klystron. The iterative method for multicavity klystron amplifiers is extended, to tubes with up to six cavities. It is shown that the optimum tuning pattern has an appreciable advantage in gain over the alternative choices. The practice of allocating the highest-frequency pole to the penultimate cavity is justified, at least for relatively short tubes. Illustrative numerical tuning designs for four-, five- and six-cavity klystron amplifiers with different tuning patterns are given to verify the method. The restrictions of small-signal fundamental-mode theory apply throughout the thesis. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of / Graduate
