Design and Analysis of Rotor Shaft Assembly of Hammer Mill Crusher International Journal of Engineering and Management Research, Volume-3, Issue-2, April 2013 ISSN No.: 2250-0758 Pages: 22-30 www.ijemr.net Design and Analysis of Rotor Shaft Assembly of Hammer Mill Crusher E.Vijaya Kumar Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Siddhartha Institute of Technology & Sciences, Ghatkesar, Hyderabad, INDIA ABSTRACT The paper deals with the Design and analysis of shaft and rotor assembly for hammer mill crusher of capacity 0.1 (100kg/hr) tones per hour transmitting 20 B.H.P and a speed of 750 rpm. The design is based on the standard design procedure. In the present work by using the standard design procedure, diameter of rotor shaft of hammer mill crusher has been designed. The design should be safe when the values obtained from the present design procedure were compared with the values and results obtained from the analysis using Ansys package. When the shaft is rotated at rated speed (rpm) and the loads applied to the shaft it should not bend during rotation. When the shaft is rotated under free conditions, deflections will be created due to the critical speed of the shaft. To compare this deflection shaft was designed such that the natural frequency and speed is under limits. In this project the shaft and rotor assembly of hammer mill crusher was modeled using Pro-e modeling package and the FEM model of the shaft was developed using Ansys package. Meshing of the shaft model was done and the loads, stresses that were applied for the shaft to be checked out that the design should be safe one. I.

  • Developments in Permanent Stainless Steel Cathodes Within the Copper Industry
    DEVELOPMENTS IN PERMANENT STAINLESS STEEL CATHODES WITHIN THE COPPER INDUSTRY K.L. Eastwood and G.W. Whebell Xstrata Technology Hunter Street Townsville, Australia 4811 [email protected] ABSTRACT The ISA PROCESS™ cathode plate is characterised by its copper coated suspension bar, coupled with a blade employing austenitic stainless steel alloy 316L. The blade material has become the mainstay of the technology and has been closely copied by competing cathode designs. Improvement to the cathode plate design remains a key area for research, and ongoing developments by Xstrata Technology’s ISA PROCESS™ have recently been commercialised. Two such developments are the ISA Cathode BR™ and ISA 2000 AB Cathode. The ISA BR cathode is a lower resistance cathode that has proven to enhance operating efficiencies. The AB cathode was designed to improve stripping inefficiencies in the ISA 2000 technology. These developments have now had time to mature and their long term performance will be discussed. Rising material costs and the desire to extend the operating boundaries of the standard 316L cathode plate has triggered a number of significant advances. These involve the use of different stainless steels as alternatives in some operational situations. The technical aspects and results of commercial trials on this development will also be discussed in this paper. INTRODUCTION The introduction of permanent stainless steel cathode technology was pioneered in the copper industry by IJ Perry and colleagues in 1978, with the introduction of the ISA PROCESSTM in the Townsville Copper Refinery, Perry [1]. While a number of parallel processes have emerged since its introduction, ISA Process Technology (IPT) has continued to be the mainstay electrolytic copper process with consistent improvements and superior operational performance.

Bwalya 2 1 Institute of the Development of Energy for African Sustainability (IDEAS), Florida Campus, University of South Africa (UNISA), Private Bag X6, Johannesburg 1710, South Africa 2 School of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg 2050, South Africa; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +27-731838174 Abstract: A number of experiments were conducted on a laboratory batch impact crusher to investi- gate the effects of particle size and impeller speed on grinding rate and product size distribution. The experiments involved feeding a fixed mass of particles through a funnel into the crusher up to four times, and monitoring the grinding achieved with each pass. The duration of each pass was approximately 20 s; thus, this amounted to a total time of 1 min and 20 s of grinding for four passes. The population balance model (PBM) was then used to describe the breakage process, and its effectiveness as a tool for describing the breakage process in the vertical impact crusher is assessed. It was observed that low impeller speeds require longer crushing time to break the particles significantly whilst for higher speeds, longer crushing time is not desirable as grinding rate sharply decreases as the crushing time increases, hence the process becomes inefficient. Results also showed that larger particle sizes require shorter breakage time whilst smaller feed particles require longer breakage time.

    Chapter 2: State of Hydropower in the United States Hydropower A New Chapter for America’s Renewable Electricity Source STATE OF HYDROPOWER 2 in the United States Photo from 65681751. Illustration by Joshua Bauer/NREL 70 2 Overview OVERVIEW Hydropower is the primary source of renewable energy generation in the United States, delivering 48% of total renewable electricity sector generation in 2015, and roughly 62% of total cumulative renewable generation over the past decade (2006-2015) [1]. The approximately 101 gigawatts1 (GW) of hydropower capacity installed as of 2014 included ~79.6 GW from hydropower gener ation2 facilities and ~21.6 GW from pumped storage hydro- power3 facilities [2]. Reliable generation and grid support services from hydropower help meet the nation’s require- ments for the electrical bulk power system, and hydro- power pro vides a long-term, renewable source of energy that is essentially free of hazardous waste and is low in carbon emissions. Hydropower also supports national energy security, as its fuel supply is largely domestic. % 48 HYDROPOWER PUMPED CAPACITY STORAGE OF TOTAL CAPACITY RENEWABLE GENERATION Hydropower is the largest renewable energy resource in the United States and has been an esta blished, reliable contributor to the nation’s supply of elec­ tricity for more than 100 years. In the early 20th century, the environmental conse- quences of hydropower were not well characterized, in part because national priorities were focused on economic development and national defense. By the latter half of the 20th century, however, there was greater awareness of the environmental impacts of dams, reservoirs, and hydropower operations.
