  • Theoretical Study of the Flow in a Fluid Damper Containing High Viscosity
    Theoretical study of the flow in a fluid damper containing high viscosity silicone oil: effects of shear-thinning and viscoelasticity Alexandros Syrakosa,∗, Yannis Dimakopoulosa, John Tsamopoulosa aLaboratory of Fluid Mechanics and Rheology, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Patras, 26500 Patras, Greece Abstract The flow inside a fluid damper where a piston reciprocates sinusoidally inside an outer casing containing high-viscosity silicone oil is simulated using a Finite Volume method, at various excitation frequencies. The oil is modelled by the Carreau-Yasuda (CY) and Phan-Thien & Tanner (PTT) constitutive equations. Both models account for shear-thinning but only the PTT model accounts for elasticity. The CY and other gener- alised Newtonian models have been previously used in theoretical studies of fluid dampers, but the present study is the first to perform full two-dimensional (axisymmetric) simulations employing a viscoelastic con- stitutive equation. It is found that the CY and PTT predictions are similar when the excitation frequency is low, but at medium and higher frequencies the CY model fails to describe important phenomena that are predicted by the PTT model and observed in experimental studies found in the literature, such as the hysteresis of the force-displacement and force-velocity loops. Elastic effects are quantified by applying a decomposition of the damper force into elastic and viscous components, inspired from LAOS (Large Am- plitude Oscillatory Shear) theory. The CY model also overestimates the damper force relative to the PTT, because it underpredicts the flow development length inside the piston-cylinder gap. It is thus concluded that (a) fluid elasticity must be accounted for and (b) theoretical approaches that rely on the assumption of one-dimensional flow in the piston-cylinder gap are of limited accuracy, even if they account for fluid viscoelasticity.

  • Geometry of Thermodynamic Processes
    Article Geometry of Thermodynamic Processes Arjan van der Schaft 1, and Bernhard Maschke 2 1 Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, Jan C. Willems Center for Systems and Control, University of Groningen, the Netherlands; [email protected] 2 Univ. Lyon 1, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, CNRS, LAGEP UMR 5007, Villeurbanne, France; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +31-50-3633731 Received: date; Accepted: date; Published: date Abstract: Since the 1970s contact geometry has been recognized as an appropriate framework for the geometric formulation of the state properties of thermodynamic systems, without, however, addressing the formulation of non-equilibrium thermodynamic processes. In [3] it was shown how the symplectization of contact manifolds provides a new vantage point; enabling, among others, to switch between the energy and entropy representations of a thermodynamic system. In the present paper this is continued towards the global geometric definition of a degenerate Riemannian metric on the homogeneous Lagrangian submanifold describing the state properties, which is overarching the locally defined metrics of Weinhold and Ruppeiner. Next, a geometric formulation is given of non-equilibrium thermodynamic processes, in terms of Hamiltonian dynamics defined by Hamiltonian functions that are homogeneous of degree one in the co-extensive variables and zero on the homogeneous Lagrangian submanifold. The correspondence between objects in contact geometry and their homogeneous counterparts in symplectic geometry, as already largely present in the literature [2,18], appears to be elegant and effective. This culminates in the definition of port-thermodynamic systems, and the formulation of interconnection ports.

  • 179 Design of a Hydraulic Damper for Heavy Machinery
    ANALELE UNIVERSIT ĂłII “EFTIMIE MURGU” RE ŞIłA ANUL XVIII, NR. 1, 2011, ISSN 1453 - 7397 Emil Zaev, Gerhard Rath, Hubert Kargl Design of a Hydraulic Damper for Heavy Machinery A hydraulic unit consisting of an accumulator as energy storage element and an orifice providing friction was designed to damp oscillations of a machine during operation. In the first step, a model for the gas spring was developed from the ideal gas laws for the dimensioning the elements. To model the gas process with a graphical simulation tool it is necessary to find a form of the gas law which can be integrated with a numerical solver, such as Tustin, Runge-Kutta, or other. For simulating the working condition, the model was refined using the van der Waals equations for real gas. A unified model representation was found to be applied for any arbitrary state change. Verifications were made with the help of special state changes, adiabatic and isothermal. After determining the dimensional parameters, which are the accumulator capacity and the orifice size, the operational and the limiting parameters were to be found. The working process of a damper includes the gas pre-charging to a predefined pressure, the nearly isothermal static loading process, and the adiabatic change during the dynamic operation. Keywords : Vibration damping, hydraulic damping, gas laws 1. Introduction Mining Machines, like the ALPINE Miner of the Sandvik company in Fig. 1, are subject to severe vibrations during their operation. Measures for damping are re- quired. Goal of this project was to investigate the potential of damping oscillation using the hydraulic cylinders of the support jacks (Fig.

  • Don't Let Dollars Disappear up Your Chimney!
    ENERGY SAVINGTIPS DON’T LET DOLLARS DISAPPEAR UP YOUR CHIMNEY! You wouldn’t leave a window wide open in cold weather. Having a fireplace with an open flue damper is the same as having a window open. That sends precious winter heat and money right up the chimney! Here’s how you can heat your home, and not the neighborhood! KEEP THE FIREPLACE DAMPER CLOSED WHEN THE FIREPLACE IS NOT BEING USED The damper is a flap inside the chimney or flue. It has an open and a closed position. When a fire is burning, the damper should be in the open position to allow smoke to escape up the fireplace flue and out the chimney. When you’re not using the fireplace, the damper should be closed. If you can’t see the handle or chain that opens and closes the damper, use a flashlight and look up inside the chimney flue. The handle could be a lever that moves side to side or back and forth. If a chain operates the damper, you may have to pull both sides to determine which one closes or opens the damper. KEEP YOUR HEAT IN YOUR HOME! Even the most energy efficient homes can fall victim to fireplace air leaks. Your fireplace may be reserved for a handful of special occasions or especially cold nights. When it’s not in use, though, your home loses heat – and costs you money – without you knowing it. Using the heat from your fireplace on a cold winter night may be cozy, but that fire is a very inefficient way to warm up the room.

  • System Controls Engineering Guide
    SECTION G Engineering Guide System Controls System Controls Engineering Guide Introduction to VAV Terminal Units The control of air temperature in a space requires that the loads in the space are offset by some means. Space loads can consist of exterior loads and/or interior loads. Interior loads can consist of people, mechanical equipment, lighting, com puters, etc. In an 'air' conditioning system compensating for the loads is achieved by introducing air into the space at a given temperature and quantity. Since space loads are always fluctuating the compensation to offset the loads must also be changing in a corresponding manner. Varying the air temperature or varying the air volume or a combination of both in a controlled manner will offset the space load as required. The variable air volume terminal unit or VAV box allows us to vary the air volume into a room and in certain cases also lets us vary the air temperature into a room. YSTEM CONTROLS YSTEM S The VAV terminal unit may be pressure dependent or pressure independent. This is a function of the control package. ENGINEERING GUIDE - Pressure Dependent A device is said to be pressure dependent when the flow rate passing through it varies as the system inlet pressure fluctuates. The flow rate is dependent only on the inlet pressure and the damper position of the terminal unit. The pressure dependent terminal unit consists of a damper and a damper actuator controlled directly by a room thermostat. The damper is modulated in response to room temperature only. Since the air volume varies with inlet pressure, the room may experience temperature swings until the thermostat repositions the damper.
