Wireless Noise Characteristics on Gearboxes Due to Speed Variations
Full text linkNoise inspection is a predictive maintenance technique that is used to determine machine condition. The noise inspection can be done offline and online. Online noise inspection, which is far away from the object, is performed in the control center room. This monitoring system requires a complicated installation and long cables. The complexity of installation can be overcome by implementing a wireless noise inspection system. Wireless noise monitoring system for machinery condition monitoring still lacks information. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a wireless noise monitoring system. The result of wireless noise testing data on the machine is justified through the analysis of noise testing data of wired system. The research objective was to create a wireless noise measurement that is applied on a gearbox that is equipped with a data acquisition system that operates at a constant load and 5 variations of speed. Comparative analysis is used to justify the noise amplitude, time domain, and frequency domain of wireless and cabled measurements. The final test result indicates that the noise and wireless spectrum signals match the noise spectrum and signals using a cable. The highest amplitude lies at 12-13 of a fundamental frequency at a low frequency and at 30 of a fundamental frequency at a high frequency

Analytical and Experimental Approaches to Shot Peening
Full text linkThis paper is a first attempt on analytical approach to shot peening. Shot peening improves the surface engineering quality by eliminating the tool marks, such as machining, grinding, stamping and other surface defects. Most importantly, the improvements of shot peening are produced by combination of compressive stress and cold work. Compressive stresses are beneficial in increasing resistances to fatigue failures, while the cold work effects of shot peening treatments can increase the surface hardness. Although shot peening is extensively used in the industry, its academic understanding is very low. Shot peening has been considered as a black art and black engineering in the industry. The focus of this research is to layout foundation of the shot peening research in academic world. Only then, will the research propel more systematically rather than via the conventional industrial trial and error approach. In this research, analytical approach with experimental verification is presented
Design of Generator Stator Protection 100% Using Overvoltage and Undervoltage Schemes
Full text linkNowadays, there are still many high capacity generators have not yet protected completely from their internal ground faults. They still rely on differential and over current relays. It is seen that this relay will reduce their sensitivities when applied to generators with high impedance grounding systems. To overcome such problem, a combination protection scheme of the neutral overvoltage (59N) and neutral undervoltage third harmonics (27N3) is developed. This paper aims to design the protection scheme for high capacity generators. This paper demonstrates the designing of neutral grounding transformer (NGT) system, the relay settings and reviewing of their sensitivities. To clarify the concepts this study uses a generator 802 MVA, 22.8 kV as object. The results show that the protection scheme is very effective to protect 100% of generator stator with relays overlapping of 31.5%. It needs NGT transformer with capacity of only 28.33 kVA, 15000/240 V, and the secondary resistor of 0.38,117 kW. This paper can hopefully be used as one reference for protection system engineers to design or develop protection schemes in their fields especially whose generator has not equipped yet with such protection scheme
The Effect of Capacitance on the Power Factor Value of Parallel RLC Circuits
Full text linkThe power factor of the circuit is determined by the amount of pure resistance (R), self-inductance of the coil (L) and the capacitance of the capacitor (C). In this study, the measurement of the power factor value in a parallel RLC circuit was carried out through experimental testing and simulation with the value of C as the independent variable, while the values of R and L were fixed conditioned quantities. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of capacitance on a parallel RLC circuit. One of the ways to improve the power factor value in a circuit is to install capacitive compensation using a capacitor. The relation between the power factor value and the capacitance and inductive reactance based on the experimental results and the simulation calculation results in the parallel RLC circuit both shows the same pattern with a relative uncertainty below 8%. The experimental results and simulation results both show that the power factor can be improved by using a right capacitance which is around the capacitance value when there is resonance in the circuit
