This book contains the papers presented at the 7th International
Conference on Compressors and their Systems at City University
London in conjunction with the IMECHE. This conference is the
ultimate global forum for reviewing the latest developments and
novel approaches in compressor research. It features contributions
from equipment manufacturers, suppliers, users and research
organisations; these papers present developments in air, gas and
refrigeration compressors; vacuum pumps; expanders; and related
systems and components. Papers cover the design, development and
operation of a wide range of compressors and expanders. Equipment
manufacturers, suppliers, users and research organisations are all
represented. Aspects covered include: present and future
developments in scroll compressors; design and optimisation of
screw compressors; latest thinking in oscillating and vane
compressors; improving the function of valves; latest research in
dynamic compressors; detailed analysis of reciprocating
compressors; improved accuracy and usefulness of modelling
techniques; developing better control of centrifugal compressors;
and reducing unwanted noise and vibration.
This book presents a collection of papers from an IMechE event held in February 2004. Materials are critical to the safety, reliability, performance and total life cycle costs of machines, and are therefore of great importance to both users and suppliers. The papers in this volume review: the increasing availability and improvements of superior materials over the last decade, moving from niche markets to a wide field of applications; the advancement of materials from the experimental stage to the point where they can make real contributions to machine life and reliability; new developing or nontraditional materials which have real potential for future reduction in life cycle costs of fluid machinery. "Advanced Materials for Fluid Machinery" will be of value to all those involved in materials for fluid machinery, including manufacturers and users, material suppliers, refurbishers, contractors, consultants, materials specialists and researchers.
The papers in this volume have been written and brought together by a group of experts, each of whom deals with radioactive waste management on a daily basis, as well as having the deep knowledge and level of expertise that only industry insiders can achieve. Topics covered here include: treatment issues; waste mangement practice; transport and storage; and environment and regulations. "Radioactive Waste Management 2000" contains business scenarios from around the world, offering an understanding of operating conditions, regulatory issues and resources available in various countries. Those involved in strategy and implementation should find new insights and solutions. This book should prove useful to all those individuals and companies with an interest or involvement in the radioactive waste management industry.
Review of pneumatic conveying; vacuum versus positive pressure; solving throughout and blockage problems; understanding and controlling attrition and wear; particle attention and deposition; conveying fragile materials; pneumatic conveying systems associated with high pressure systems.
Fans are probably the most commonly used machines - from computers to power station boilers, they come in all shapes and sizes. In today's ever more demanding marketplace companies are evolving fans that are more efficient, quieter, and cheaper to run. These IMechE event transactions bring together international authors presenting their latest research and development. With significant developments, such as the impact of CFD on fan design and the increasingly common application of variable speed, "International Conference on Fans" provides a unique opportunity for both manufacturers and users of fans to share their experience and findings. Topics include: Noise and vibrationSmall fans and motorsComputational fluid dynamicsCooling applicationsOperation and maintenanceImpact of technology, legislation, and testingFan design "International Conference on Fans" is vital reading for fan users, installers, consultants, and manufacturers and everyone concerned with power generation, industrial processes, commercial ventilation, air conditioning, tunnel and mine ventilation.
