DLE burner water rig simulations

Mohammadi, Peyman January 2008 (has links)
In today’s industrial world, there are high demands on the environmental aspects. Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB (SIT AB) is a company that is keen about the environment, and therefore spends a lot of effort in developing combustion processes in order to reduce NOx (nitrogen oxides) emissions on their engine products. They are also researching in optional fuels, which are more environment-friendly. In order to provide lower emissions the SIT designed a water rig to study the flow dynamics in a DLE (Dry Low Emission) burner. An analyze program (GUI horizontal) was developed with new functions and the existing functions were improved. The program’s function was to evaluate different experimental tests of the flow dynamics in the 3rd generation DLE burners, of the SGT-800 gas turbine engine. The aim was to ensure repeatability to enhance reliability, of the experimental test results for further comparison, for upcoming projects concerning future DLE burners. When repeatability was achieved, implementations of different geometrical modifications were performed in the 3rd generation DLE burner. The reason of the geometrical alterations was to look over if better fuel air mixture could be obtained and accordingly (thus) to reduce hotspots in the burner and in that case reduce NOx emissions.

Combustion Valve Wear : A Tribological Study of Combustion Valve Sealing Interfaces

Forsberg, Peter January 2013 (has links)
The exhaust valve system of combustion engines experiences a very complex contact situation of frequent impact involving micro sliding, high and varying temperatures, complex exhaust gas chemistry and possible particulates, etc. In addition, the tribological situation in the exhaust valve system is expected to become even worse due to strict future emission regulations, which will require enhanced combustion and cleaner fuels. This will substantially reduce the formation of combustion products that might ease the contact conditions by forming tribofilms on the contacting surfaces. The lack of protective films is expected to result in increased wear of the contact surfaces. The aim of the work presented in this thesis has been to increase the tribological understanding of the valves. The wear that takes place in the valve sealing interface and how the change in operating conditions affects it have been studied. Such understanding will facilitate the development of future valve designs. A test rig has been developed. It has a unique design with the ability to insert ppm amounts of media into a hot air flow, in order to simulate different environmental changes, e.g. varying amount and composition of combustion residue particles. PVD coated valves were evaluated in a dry atmosphere. It was concluded that although some of the coatings showed potential, the substrate could not support the thin, hard coatings. Investigations with an addition of different oils have been performed. Fully formulated oils proved to build up a protective oil residue tribofilm. This tribofilm has been in-depth analysed and proved to have similar composition and appearance as tribofilms found on low wear field tested valves. With a non-additivated oil, wear particles from the valve seat insert formed a wear particle tribofilm on top of the valve sealing surface. Without any oil the surfaces showed severe wear with wear particles spread over the surfaces. The results presented give a hint about what to be expected in the future, when the engine oils are replaced with ash less oils with reduced amount of additives and the consumed amount of oil within the cylinders are reduced.

Elevinflytande i specialidrott : En kvalitativ studie om elevinflytandets roll i specialidrott fotboll

Björnell, Jakob, Dohrmann, Joakim January 2014 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka uppfattningar elever har till elevinflytande, i ämnet specialidrott fotboll, som erbjuds vid NIU-gymnasium. Sedan 2011, och införandet av den nya läroplanen för gymnasiet, kan endast så kallade RIG- och NIU-gymnasium erbjuda specialidrott. Tidigare har samtliga gymnasieskolor haft möjlighet till detta. För att uppnå studiens syfte används en kvalitativ metod. Åtta NIU-elever intervjuas genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. John Deweys pedagogiska teori och Myndigheten för skolutvecklings analyseringsmodell fungerar som teoretiska ramverk. Resultatet i studien visar att eleverna har ett positivt förhållningssätt till elevinflytande och dess demokratiska innebörd. Ämnets praktiska karaktär, lärarens/instruktörens kompetens, delaktigheten i samtal och utvärderingar samt elevernas strävan att utvecklas inom sin idrott uppfattas skapa goda möjligheter till elevinflytande. Eleverna uppfattar att deras bristfälliga kompetens, jämfört med lärarens/instruktörens, kan utgöra förhindrade möjligheter till inflytande. Uppfattningar om att deras åsikter är irrelevanta till ämnets syfte, och att de emellanåt ges inflytande utan ramar, uppfattas vara andra hinder till elevinflytande. Elevinflytande uppfattas som en viktig faktor till lärande, bland annat för att eleverna tillåts göras delaktiga i planering och utformning av lektioner. Genom elevinflytande uppfattar eleverna även att de blir ansvarstagande för deras utveckling, både som idrottsutövare och människor. Ur studien framkommer det även att elevinflytande möjliggör självreflektion och medvetandegör lärandeprocessen i ämnet specialidrott.

Design and Analysis of a Test Rig for Modeling the Bit/Formation Interface in Petroleum Drilling Applications

Wilson, Joshua Kyle 03 October 2013 (has links)
Equipment failure and well deviations are prevailing contributors to production delays within the petroleum industry. Particular monetary focus is given to the drilling operations of wells to overcome these deficits, in order to extract natural resources as efficiently, and as safely, as possible. The research presented here focuses on minimizing vibrations of the drill string near the bottom-hole assembly (BHA) by identifying the cause of external forcing on the drillstring in vertical and horizontal wells and measuring the effects of various factors on the stability of perturbations on the system. A test rig concept has been developed to accurately measure the interaction forces and torques between the bit, formation and fluids during drilling in order to clearly define a bit/formation interface law (BFIL) for the purpose vibrational analysis. As a secondary function, the rig will be able to measure the potential inputs to a drilling simulation code that can be used to model drillstring vibrations. All notable quantities will be measured including torque on bit (TOB), weight on bit (WOB), lateral impact loads (LIL), formation stiffness, bit specific properties, fluid damping coefficients and rate of penetration (ROP). The conceptual design has been analyzed and refined, in detail, to verify its operational integrity and range of measurement error. The operational envelope of the rig is such that a drill bit of up to 8 ½ inches in diameter can be effectively tested at desired operational parameters (WOB: 0-55,000 lbf, RPM: 60-200) with various rock formations and multiple fluid types. Future use and design possibilities are also discussed to enhance the functionality of the rig and the potential for further research in the area of oil and gas drilling and vibrational modeling.

Underhåll av automatiserade borriggar

Hed, Maria January 2018 (has links)
I det moderna samhället utgör metaller en viktig del. Boliden Minerals AB är en stor aktör inom gruvindustrin och är verksamma i Sverige, Finland, Norge och på Irland. I en komplex bransch med varierande arbetsförhållanden och farliga miljöer för de som arbetar i gruvorna är säkerhet en grundpelare. Automation och underhåll är viktiga faktorer för en ökad säkerhet, produktivitet och driftsäkerhet. För att utvinna mineraler ur berg är borrning och sprängning en viktig del i processen. Gruvbrytning omfattar dagbrott och underjordsbrytning och i det här arbetet har borrningsprocessen vid underjordsbrytning studerats. Boliden har planer på att införa autonom borrning av ort- och fällsalvor, som en del i deras gruvautomationsprojekt. Som ett första steg för att öka produktionen och utnyttjandegraden för maskinerna vill de utföra autonom borrning under lunchuppehåll och skiftbyten. Syftet med arbetet var att möjliggöra autonom borrning genom att ur ett underhållsperspektiv förbättra driftsäkerheten för borriggarna. Målet var att kartlägga de fel som uppstår på borriggen samt att föreslå åtgärder för att minska driftstörningarna. Utifrån dokumentation och intervjuer har kartläggningar gjorts över vilka fel som uppstår på borriggarna, hur rutinerna ser ut för tillsyn och underhåll samt vilka larm borriggarnas styrsystem kan ge. Kartläggningen av fel som uppstår har först gjorts med övergripande kategorier för att sedan på detaljnivå studera de områden som står för de flesta felen. Insamlat data, intervjuer och egna observationer har legat till grund för att ta fram förslag till hur driftsäkerheten kan ökas för borriggarna. I linje med tidigare studier visade resultatet att de områden som står för de flesta felen är slangar, med ca 30 % av de totala felen, följt av matare, borrmaskin och styrsystem. I studien utgjorde dessa fel 80–90% av totalt antal fel. Det finns många orsaker till att felen uppstår. Det beror bland annat på miljön som maskinerna arbetar i, mänskligt handhavande, vibrationer och nötningar. Förutom de dokumenterade felen utför operatörerna olika drifts- och underhållsåtgärder på maskinerna. Det omfattar bland annat att fylla på olja och byta borrkrona när dessa blir nötta. Driftstörningarna utgör ca 6 % av den totala tiden då borrmaskinen står uppkopplad vid gaveln. Driftsäkerheten kan ökas ytterligare på de områden där de flesta felen uppstår genom att vidta olika åtgärder. Slangbrott kan minskas genom att skydda slangarna på utsatta ställen och ha ett tätare förebyggande underhåll. I övrigt handlar åtgärderna mycket om att underhåll ska utföras på rätt sätt, att rätt förutsättningar ska finnas för att utför underhållet och att möjliggöra övervakning av borriggen när det inte finns någon operatör på plats. För att i framtiden möjliggöra autonom borrning är det viktigt att operatörerna får rätt utbildning så att de kan systemet och förstår vinningen med att använda det. Vidare finns det många områden för fortsatt utveckling innan maskinerna kan borra helt autonomt och många av dessa områden utgör en stor utmaning på grund av dess komplexitet. Under hela resan är det också viktigt att fortsätta ha människan som utgångspunkt och ett högt säkerhetstänk. / Metals are an important part of the modern society. Boliden Minerals AB is a major player in the mining industry and is active in Sweden, Finland, Norway and on Ireland. In a complex industry with varying working conditions and hazardous environments for those who work in the mines, safety is a cornerstone. Automation and maintenance are important factors for increased safety, productivity and reliability. In order to extract minerals from rock, drilling and blasting is an important part of the process. Mining includes surface and underground mining, and in this work the drilling process for underground mining has been studied. Boliden plans to introduce autonomous drilling for drifting, as part of their mining automation projects. As a first step in increasing the production and utilization of the machines, they want to perform autonomous drilling during lunch breaks and shift changes. The purpose of the work was to enable autonomous drilling by improving the reliability of drilling rigs from a maintenance perspective. The aim was to identify the faults on the drilling rig and propose measures to reduce the operational disturbances. Based on documentation and interviews, mapping has been made on the errors that occur on the drilling rigs, the procedures for supervision and maintenance, and which alarms the drilling rig’s control system can provide. The mapping of errors that occur was first made with overall categories, then studied at the level of detail for the areas that accounts for most of the errors. Based on collected data, interviews and observations, suggestions have been made for how the reliability can be increased on the drilling rigs. In line with previous studies, the result showed that the areas that account for most of the faults are hoses, with about 30 % of the failures, followed by feeder, rock drill and steering system. In the studie, these errors accounted for 80-90% of total errors. There are many reasons why the error occurs. Some of the biggest contribution factors are the environment in which the machines work, human handling, vibrations and wear and tear. In addition to the documented errors, operators perform various operating and maintenance measures on the machines. It includes filling oil and changing drill bits when they are worn out. The operating disturbances account for about 6% of the time when the drilling machine is in use. The reliability can be increased in areas where most of the errors arise by taking different actions. Hose breaks can be reduced by protecting the hoses in exposed areas and having a more throughout preventive maintenance. Other measures are to ensure proper maintenance, that the right conditions are provided and to enable monitoring of the drilling rig when there is no operator in place. In order to enable autonomous drilling in the future, it is important that operators get the right training so that they learn how to handle the system and understand the gain of using it. Furthermore, there are many areas for further development before the machines can drill completely autonomously and many of these areas represent a major challenge due to its complexity. Throughout this journey, it is also important to have a human-centered approach and a high level of security.
