Electropneumatic systems combine pneumatic actuators and controllers with electric control circuits. Pneumatic actuators include cylinders, motors, and valves, which are powered by compressed air. However, the electric control circuits use electrical components like switches, relays, and programmable logic controllers to control the flow of compressed air and automate pneumatic processes. While pneumatic systems can be complicated to control, electropneumatic systems simplify control with digital electric signals regulating complex pneumatic circuits and multiple actuators.
The document discusses electro-pneumatic systems and their components. It describes how electro-pneumatic systems combine electrical and pneumatic components. It provides examples of pneumatic connections and electrical wiring. It also discusses directional control valves, cylinders, basic circuits, and process sequencing methods like narratives, Boolean logic, and diagrams.

Velocity Triangle for Moving Blade of an impulse TurbineShowhanur Rahman
Ìý
Impulse turbines use steam jets to transfer momentum to rotating blades, while reaction turbines use the pressure of steam flowing over stationary and moving blades to rotate the shaft. Both use velocity triangles to analyze steam flow at the inlet and outlet of curved blades. The power produced depends on the change in steam whirl velocity as it flows through the blades. Reaction turbines experience axial thrust from the change in steam flow velocity from inlet to outlet.
This document provides an overview of pneumatic control and automation concepts including:
- Standard symbols for pneumatic components like cylinders, valves, and other devices based on ISO 1219 standards.
- Examples of using 2/2 and 3/2 valves to control single-acting cylinders, and 5/2 valves to control double-acting cylinders. Speed control methods like flow regulators are discussed.
- Sequential control concepts and examples of circuits using multiple cylinders operated in sequence are presented.
This document discusses various types of hydraulic and pneumatic control elements. It focuses on flow control valves and their purposes.
Flow control valves regulate fluid flow and include pressure control valves, flow control valves, and direction control valves. Pressure control valves such as relief valves and reducing valves maintain system pressure. Flow control valves include compensated and non-compensated types to regulate flow rates. Direction control valves include 2/2, 3/2, and 4/3 styles to control fluid direction to actuators. Proper control elements are necessary to ensure safe and efficient operation of hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

This document discusses different types of hydraulic pressure control valves. It describes pressure relief valves, pilot operated relief valves, sequence control valves, and other types. Pressure relief valves limit pressure by diverting fluid to the reservoir when pressure reaches a set point. Pilot operated relief valves use a piston or spool controlled by a pilot valve. Sequence valves provide flow to a second actuator after the first reaches a threshold pressure. The document also provides examples of applications for different valve types.
Centrifugal pumps use centrifugal force to raise liquids to higher levels. They work by imparting kinetic energy to the liquid using an impeller. The main parts of a centrifugal pump are the impeller, volute casing, and optional diffuser. The impeller spins and increases the pressure of the liquid flowing through it. The liquid then passes through the volute casing which collects and directs the flow to the outlet pipe. Common pump losses include friction within the impeller and casing as well as leakage losses.
The document discusses basic pneumatic circuitry and components for control and automation. It covers pneumatic symbols, circuit layout principles, and examples of actuator control using 2/2, 3/2, and 5/2 valves. The 2/2 valve uses two valves to admit air to move the actuator in one direction and exhaust air to move it in the other. The 3/2 valve provides inlet and exhaust with one valve. The 5/2 valve simultaneously switches the supply and exhaust paths to control a double-acting actuator.
The document summarizes key concepts about reciprocating air compressors:

2) It explains the ideal thermodynamic cycle on p-V and T-S diagrams, involving constant-pressure intake, adiabatic compression, and constant-pressure discharge processes.
3) It defines mechanical efficiency and indicated power for reciprocating compressors, and describes calculations for work of compression and various efficiencies like isothermal efficiency.
A coupling is a mechanical device that rigidly joins two rotating shafts together. There are three main types of couplings: rigid couplings for perfectly aligned shafts, flexible couplings for shafts with misalignment, and flange couplings which can transmit high torque capacities but do not tolerate misalignment or shocks/vibrations. Design of couplings involves calculating shaft diameters, sleeve/flange dimensions, key dimensions, and bolt diameters based on the transmitted power, material properties, and safety factors. Dimensional relationships and equations are used to check stresses in the various coupling components.

A gas turbine uses a gaseous working fluid to generate mechanical power that can power industrial devices. It has three main parts - an air compressor, combustion chamber, and turbine. The air is compressed in the compressor, mixed with fuel and ignited in the combustion chamber, and the hot gases spin the turbine to generate power. Some applications of gas turbines include aviation, power generation, and the oil and gas industry. The efficiency of gas turbines is typically 20-30% compared to 38-48% for steam power plants.
The document discusses static and dynamic balancing of rotating masses. Static balancing ensures the center of gravity remains stationary during rotation by balancing out centrifugal forces in any radial direction. Dynamic balancing prevents vibration during rotation by statically balancing and also balancing out moments and couples involved in accelerating moving parts. The types of balancing are defined as static, where forces due to gravity are balanced, and dynamic, where inertia forces are balanced in addition to static balance. Benefits include reduced vibration, noise, stresses, and increased quality, bearing life, and efficiency. Balancing is necessary to prevent problems from vibration like noise, abrasion, and shortened machine life.

Ìý
Air pollution is contamination of the indoor or outdoor environment by any chemical, physical or biological agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere.
Household combustion devices, motor vehicles, industrial facilities and forest fires are common sources of air pollution. Pollutants of major public health concern include particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Outdoor and indoor air pollution cause respiratory and other diseases and are important sources of morbidity and mortality.
WHO data show that almost all of the global population (99%) breathe air that exceeds WHO guideline limits and contains high levels of pollutants, with low- and middle-income countries suffering from the highest exposures.
Air quality is closely linked to the earth’s climate and ecosystems globally. Many of the drivers of air pollution (i.e. combustion of fossil fuels) are also sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Policies to reduce air pollution, therefore, offer a win-win strategy for both climate and health, lowering the burden of disease attributable to air pollution, as well as contributing to the near- and long-term mitigation of climate change.
Gauges are a Pump's Best Friend - Troubleshooting and Operations - v.07Brian Gongol

No reputable doctor would try to conduct a basic physical exam without the help of a stethoscope. That's because the stethoscope is the best tool for gaining a basic "look" inside the key systems of the human body. Gauges perform a similar function for pumping systems, allowing technicians to "see" inside the pump without having to break anything open. Knowing what to do with the information gained takes practice and systemic thinking. This is a primer in how to do that.
