Steam Turbines are devices used to convert thermal energy of steam into mechanical energy, which may be used to produce Electrical Energy. Steam turbine generator units are being used extensively all over the world for generation of electric power and for co-generation of steam and power. Contact pressure and pretension in bolts-analysis has been made easier in recent years due to the availabil...

The casing damage of oil and water wells has seriously affected the normal production oilfield. This paper analyzes high occurrence in Saertu layer, finds that there is a contradiction between injection formation prevention control damage. Although wellhead pressure can be guaranteed to lower than its fracture during production, injected energy at includes potential kinetic energy. Because rela...

In this paper a stochastic model for a single unit repairable system with Preventive Maintenance (PM) under warranty is analyzed in details by using supplementary variable technique. The cost of repair during warranty is born by the manufacturers, but warranty does not apply to product failure due to user-induced damage such as cracked screen or cracked casing, accident, misuse, physical damage...

The low-frequency tube wave speed is given explicitly for a variety of borehole nvironments. The presence of a logging tool, the effects of casing, and bore eccentricity are considered. The results are all relatively simple and indicate that the speed ecreases in the presence of a tool or borehole ccentricity. The speed increases in the presence of casing as long as the casing shear modulus exc...

The internal pressure strength of tubing and casing often cannot satisfy the design requirements in high pressure, high temperature and high H2S gas wells. Also, the practical safety coefficient of some wells is lower than the design standard according to the current API 5C3 standard, which brings some perplexity to the design. The ISO 10400: 2007 provides the model which can calculate the burs...

Calocybe indica, a tropical edible mushroom, is popular because it has good nutritive value and it can be cultivated commercially. The current investigation was undertaken to determine a suitable substrate and the appropriate thickness of casing materials for the cultivation of C. indica. Optimum mycelial growth was observed in coconut coir substrate. Primordia initiation with the different sub...

A polygon motor consists of several mirror faces and it is one of the core components for a laser beam printer and a copier. Under high-speed rotation, aeroacoustic noise with a peak frequency of rotational speed times the number of mirror faces and its harmonics is prominently generated from a polygon motor covered with a casing. This paper describes a method to predict such noise that is gene...
