Exergetic Evaluation of a Rankine Cycle with Regeneration: Effect of Turbine Inlet Temperature and Source Temperature
...
Arrieta Mondragón, Leonardo | 2018

The Rankine cycle is a thermodynamic cycle widely used in power plants, specifically in steam power plants, due to its great importance in the industry. It has also been studied in recent years in search of parameters that can optimize the cycle by reducing losses and thus increase efficiency, so that improvements have been made in the process such as overheating of steam at the turbine inlet, and even regeneration of water at the boiler inlet. In this work a process of optimization of a Rankine cycle was presented by complementing it with an open feed water heater which not only improves the efficiency of the cycle, but also provides a convenient means of de-aeration of the feed water to prevent corrosion in the boiler, in which it was carried out under the assumption of a stationary flow, and without significant changes in the kinetic and potential energy, that is, assuming an ideal process, all this with the aim of obtaining the highest thermal efficiency and the lowest exergetic losses in the cycle, carrying out several case studies with the assistance of Unisim with temperature variations at the turbine inlet and at the source to observe how this affects the exergetic efficiency and exergy destroyed in the turbine and it was concluded that this is reflected in the production of mechanical energy useful for creating electrical energy because a variation in these parameters could cause job losses in the turbine and decrease in the exergetic efficiency of the system which in turn would lead to a decrease in the network of the system.

...
Coba Salcedo, Milton Fabian | 2018-07-18

Non-conservative mechanical models are developed to be applied to the low energy impact phenomenon. The analytical description of the proposed models is made and the numerical solution of the system of differential equations is proposed. The impact of materials is undoubtedly the object of research, due to the dynamic condition inherent in the bodies that interact in our universe. That is why we have standardized methodologies for its study, such as Izod and Charpy impact techniques, among others. However, this work places special emphasis on the method of plate bending, which, due to its geometric configuration, interprets real impact situations to which some bodies are subjected, in addition to the low energy technique in which the energy available in the impactor is less than that absorbed in the breaking process, makes it possible to obtain information on the material in the elastic, plastic, initiation and crack propagation range.

Comparison of the Concentration Factor of Stresses on Flat Sheets with Two Holes with Low and High Speed Voltage Test
...
Acevedo Peñaloza, Carlos Humberto | 2018-07-31

The research seeks to determine whether the stress concentration factor for flat plates with two stressed holes varies according to the application speed of the load. The research was developed using the experimental method, with two types of tests, one called low-speed load application and the other called high-speed load application. The behaviour of the theoretical stress concentration factor Kt has been studied on long flat plates with two holes under tension and made of isotropic material, with axial direction for the application of the vertical load. Different values were taken from the centre distance of the holes and it was found that the value of the stress concentrator Kt; for the two tests always tends to values greater than 3.8. A comparison was made between the results obtained and it was determined that there is variation between the values of the Kt factor according to the speed with which the load of the voltage test is applied, with the highest being the Kt with high speed test.

Experimental study of the correlation the surface roughness 2D and 3D in the honing process of the steel cylinder
...
Coba Salcedo, Milton Fabian | 2018-08

Objectives: This research proposes the feasibility of working on surfaces obtained by honing with 2D roughness parameters, as the 3D roughness measurement commonly used in the industry requires many hours of measurement time. Methods/Statistical Analysis: In this article, we study the values of surface roughness in two dimensions and three dimensions measured inside cylinders, machined by honing in industrial honing machines. Hardness has been measured with a contact probe roughness meter, as this type of instrument is widely used in academic and especially industrial applications and is standardized in international standards such as ISO 3274 or ASME B46.1. Findings: It is concluded that due to the excellent association obtained, it is sufficient to work with adjustments in two dimensions to characterize the surface, since the roughness in three dimensions takes a long time to be measured with a contact roughness meter like the one used in this investigation, so 2D parameters can be used because due to their normal behavior, they offer competitive advantages due to their ease of determination and require shorter measurement times. Application/Improvements: Manufacturers of hydraulic cylinders, surface finish of the inner wall of internal combustion engines and all those applications where it is machined with honing

Probability parameters and estimated firestone abbott plateau honing curves
...
Coba Salcedo, Milton Fabian | 2018-09-12

This paper developed a methodology for estimating Abbott-Firestone curves from the roughness parameters of the material probability curves. The surface roughness profile obtained in plateau-honing processes is the superposition of the effects of the two processes used to generate it. At first, a honing is performed with which the characteristics of valleys are generated, honing base, and after this honing base, a finishing honing is performed, a plateau operation to reduce the peaks of the base honing profile without modifying the characteristics of the valleys of the base profile. In the functional behaviour of the surface, the valleys will contribute to the retention of oil and the flat areas will contribute to reducing friction with the oil retained in the valleys and to improving watertightness. To characterize this type of roughness obtained by the superposition of the roughness generated by two processes, material probability curves are suitable, in which the roughness of each process is characterized by the slope of a line, and the point of intersection of both lines corresponds to the transition zone between plateaus and valleys. The roughness parameters other than those of the probability curve do not adequately characterize the roughness obtained by processes such as plateauhoning, since they are calculated on the total height of the roughness profile and do not separate the effects of the processes that have been used to obtain it, which means that the contribution of each of the processes to the roughness profile cannot be differentiated.

Regenerative chatter Phenomenon in the Turning Process based on the alloy steels 1020, 1035 and 1045
...
Coba Salcedo, Milton Fabian | 2018

Regenerative vibration is a major drawback in machining processes reducing the geometric accuracy and dynamic stability of the cutting system. Achieving a dynamically stable cutting operation represents a significant decrease in the production time and therefore in the costs associated with this process. The information provided by the stability lobe diagrams is of great importance, since from them we know the range of spindle rotation speeds and chip thicknesses at which the cutting operation takes place in a state free from the phenomenon of regenerative chatter, avoiding the rapid wear of the cutting tool and achieving quality surface finishes. In the present investigation, the behavior of the turning operations in steel 1020, steel 1035 and steel 1045 is characterized, with the objective of verifying the presence of instability in the machining caused by the regenerative chattering in the machine tools. Based on the analytical models proposed by Altintas and Budak for the stabilization of self-excited vibrations, a computer tool is developed capable of generating stability lobe diagrams, which allow us to appreciate the operating conditions in which machining presents stable behavior, to simulate the material removal process considering certain parameters specific to the machine tool.

...
Coba Salcedo, Milton Fabian | 2018-08-01

The chattering in the machine tools is a phenomenon that causes instability in the machining process, surface finish with high roughness, also produces excessive and accelerated wear on the tool in the metal cutting processes, this phenomenon consists of self-excited vibrations which are produced and maintained due to the cutting forces, the purpose of this article is to analyze regenerative chatter and predict the optimal points of operation in the turning process for 1020 carbon steel by developing analytical methods for generating stability lobe diagrams. To achieve this objective, the methods proposed by Altinas and Budak to stabilize the self-excited vibrations in the turning process applied to the orthogonal cut were studied in detail. These methods are widely accepted within the community of researchers and specialists in the field, thanks to the excellent results obtained in practice. Once the models studied were compressed, a computational algorithm was developed with the help of the MATLAB® software that was able to generate stability lobe diagrams for the turning operation in order to find the optimal points of operation so that there was no chatter, thus improving the material removal rate and increasing productivity

Study of the influence of the honing process by plastic deformation on the turning of AISI 1045steel
...
Coba Salcedo, Milton Fabian | 2018-09-18

Burnishing is a machining process without chip removal that seeks to improve the surface roughness of a component by means of plastic deformation of the surface layers. Due to the process mechanics, during its execution, a compressive residual stress is introduced into the surface of the workpiece during its execution, which improves various physical-mechanical properties of the component. This process has been used industrially since the 1950s, mainly in pieces made of soft materials (hardnesses up to 45 HRC), in operations subsequent to processes such as turning. The development of tools with harder materials, has opened up the possibility of burnishing on harder materials (hardnesses up to 62 HRC). Burnishing of hard materials has opened up an alternative to traditional finishing processes such as grinding, its main comparative advantage is its low-cost operation, which reduces grinding costs by 8 to 15 times. The plastic deformation burnishing is a metal working process with material removal whose advantages are that it does not generate waste, which is a competitive advantage over other surface finishing processes such as grinding, where waste is generated which also needs to be collected and subsequently treated. The use of e.g. coolants is not necessary either, in recent years, attempts have been made to eliminate them from material working processes, because their presence not only causes a significant cost that impacts the manufacturing process, also represents an environmental problem due to its polluting effect, with the associated management costs involved. This article presents the results of an AISI 1045 test specimen experiment, to which a turning process has previously been carried out.

...
Valencia, Guillermo | 2019-10-31

To contribute to the economic viability of waste heat recovery systems application based on the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) under real operation condition of natural gas engines, this article presents a thermoeconomic optimization results using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm of a simple ORC (SORC), regenerative ORC (RORC), and double-stage ORC (DORC) integrated to a GE Jenbacher engine type 6, which have not been reported in the literature. Thermoeconomic modeling was proposed for the studied configurations to integrate the exergetic analysis with economic considerations, allowing to reduce the thermoeconomic indicators that most influence the cash flow of the project. The greatest opportunities for improvement were obtained for the DORC, where the results for maximizing net power allowed the maximum value of 99.52 kW, with 85% and 80% efficiencies in the pump and turbine, respectively, while the pinch point temperatures of the evaporator and condenser must be 35 and 16 ◦C. This study serves as a guide for future research focused on the thermoeconomic performance optimization of an ORC integrated into a natural gas engine.
