Abstract

Air compressor plays a crucial role by converting electrical energy into kinetic energy in the form of compressed air. This study specifically concentrates on assessing the performance of two compressors that operate alternately, with one compressor in standby mode. Unfortunately, compressor unit #1 faced issues with its drying system, rendering it unable to function within the current pipe network. In order to rectify this, proposed modifications to the pipeline network are introduced and scrutinized. To analyze these modifications, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is employed to evaluate and compare pressure and flow characteristics in both the existing and modified pipe configurations. The CFD analysis utilizes computer engineering software, with SolidWorks serving as the primary modeling and simulation tool. The assumption is made that the Reynolds number corresponds to laminar flow, factoring in pipe diameter and compressor volume rate.The resulting CFD data offers valuable insights into pressure and velocity distributions within the existing and modified pipeline networks. During the pressure simulation, surface pressure and output on both standard and modified pipes exhibit relatively similar pressure values at 7 bar. However, in the air velocity simulation, surfaces of standard and modified pipes maintain a consistent range of 0 – 5 mm/s. Notably, from the pipe output side, air velocity in standard and modified pipes displays distinct speed contours. Standard pipes show the highest speed between 0.25 – 0.38 mm/s, whereas modified pipes exhibit the highest speed within the range of 0.15 – 0.2 mm/s. This study aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed modifications, seeking to enhance understanding of the fluid dynamics within air compressor systems. The outcomes of this research have the potential to contribute significantly to optimizing the performance and efficiency of these systems, thereby offering benefits across various industrial applications.

Abstract

Motor and coal crushers are critical in coal size reduction for efficient energy production. Continuous operation often impacts their functionality, necessitating effective maintenance methods. This study employs vibration analysis to monitor the health and detect potential faults in the motor and coal crusher. Vibration values, measured under load and no-load conditions, were analyzed in vertical, horizontal, and axial directions using ISO 10816 standards. Results show that while vibration levels remained within safe limits, increased readings in specific areas, particularly at the Crusher NDE in axial direction under load conditions, suggest potential issues like misalignment or bearing wear. Prominent vibration peaks at lower frequencies in the spectrum further support these findings. This research underscores the importance of routine vibration monitoring to preemptively address machine faults, ensuring optimized operation and minimized downtime. Vibration analysis proves effective for predictive maintenance and operational reliability in coal processing systems.

Abstract

The study purpose was to design and preliminarily validate a universal adjustable workbench that supports seated and standing bench-work activities in educational workshops, overcoming ergonomic limitations of fixed-height benches.Materials and methods. An engineering design–fabrication–testing approach was applied. The prototype was modeled in Autodesk Inventor and built using a manual scissor-lift mechanism actuated by an M10 grade 4.6 threaded bar. The work surface measured 1200 × 700 mm with an adjustable height range of ~75–110 cm. The frame used hollow steel sections (40×40×2.3 mm and 30×30×2 mm; mild steel, σy ≈ 240 MPa) and a double-layer 10 mm plywood tabletop. Actuator capacity was analytically verified using an effective stress area of 58 mm², yield strength 240 MPa, and a safety factor (SF) of 2. Performance evaluation included incremental static loading (100–280 kg), repeated height adjustment (≥50 cycles), and eccentric-load stability testing.Results. The threaded-bar analysis estimated a yield-limit capacity of ~6,276 N (≈640 kg), corresponding to a recommended safe working load of ~320 kg (SF=2). Physical tests up to 280 kg showed stable lifting and height holding with no permanent deformation of the screw or frame; cycle and eccentric-load tests indicated reliable operation under repeated and uneven loading within the tested range.Conclusions. The manual scissor-lift adjustable workbench achieved functional adjustability and demonstrated promising structural stability for workshop/laboratory use. Further work should extend load testing to the recommended safe limit and add quantitative ergonomic posture assessment to substantiate ergonomic benefits.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in operating load on the Net Plant Heat Rate (NPHR) at a 3×10 MW coal-fired power plant. The independent variables examined are the generator operating loads at 50%, 75%, and 100%, while the dependent variable is the NPHR value. The research data consists of 30 samples distributed proportionally across each load level. Data analysis was performed using a one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to test the significance of differences in the mean NPHR values across the operating load variations. The results indicate that variations in operating load significantly affect the NPHR value (p-value < 0.05). The highest average NPHR value was obtained at 50% load at 4160 kcal/kWh, then decreased at 75% load to 3861 kcal/kWh, and reached the lowest value at 100% load at 3625 kcal/kWh. These results indicate that an increase in operating load correlates with a decrease in the NPHR value and an increase in the plant’s thermal efficiency. Thus, operating the coal-fired power plant under conditions approaching optimal design capacity can improve fuel efficiency and support the optimization of the plant’s operational performance.
