The mechanical seals, which are installed in rotating machines like pump and compressor, are gengrally used as sealing devices in the many fields of industries. The failure of mechanical seals such as leakage,fast and severe wear, excessive torque, and squeaking results in big problems. To monitor the failure of mechanical seals and to propose the proper monitoring techniques with artificial neural network, sliding wear experiments were conducted. Torque and temperature of the mechanical seals were measured during experiments. Optical microstructure was observed for the wear processing after every 10 minute sliding at rotation speed of 1750 rpm and scanning electron microscopy was also observed. During the experiment, the variation of torque and temperature that meant an abnormal phenomenon, was observed. That experimental data recorded were applied to the developed monitoring system with artificial neural network. This study concludes that torque and temperature of mechanical seals wil be used to identify and to monitor the condition of sliding motion of mechanical seals. An availability to monitor the mechanical seal failure with artificial neural network was confirmed.

Field orientation of rotating field machines is influenced by various machine parameters. Most unpleasant are those parameters which vary during machine operation, such as the stator and rotor resistances. Permanent influences of resistance variation in steady state operation could have serious consequences. Also transitory influences are often disturbing. In this paper a control method for a current-fed synchronous machine is presented in which both permanent and transitory parameter influences are suppressed as much as possible.

This paper presents results of vibration analysis of a end-winding of large generator for fossil power plant. A finite element analysis using a commercial S/W is performed to calculate alternating electromagnetic forces, mainly of 120㎐ in 60㎐ machines, acting on the end-winding, and then to calculate forced response of the end-winding under electromagnetic forces. Also, this paper presents analytical and experimental modal analysis results of generator end-winding to validate FE model. We calculated forced response of end-winding on 120㎐, double rotating frequency. These results will be used to evaluate structural reliability of end-winding and applied to update model.

As the speed of rotating machines increases and also their weight decreases, the coupling between lateral and torsional vibrations must be considered. In the past, rotordynamics and geardynamics have tended to treat the lateral and torsional vibrations of the system elements as separate and decoupled mechanisms. In the paper, the coupled lateral-torsional free and forced vibration of rotors trained by gears is analyzed using finite element method. Also the complicated variation of the meshing stiffness as a function of contact point along the line of action is estimated correctly. The gear mesh model is assumed to be linear with constant average mesh stiffness.

Many industrial processes that are operated by rotating machines and large air-moving fans are excellent examples to which the single channel ANC systems can be applied. In these environments, the active noise control techniques are most popular nowadays. In this paper, a modified LMS algorithm(EAC, Error Amplitude Compared) is proposed. The algorithm is a kind of variable step-size LMS-type algorithm. Computer simulations show that the proposed EAC algorithm achieves a better convergence time than a conventional VS(Variable Step-Size) algorithm, Also, this algorithm has been implemented by using and experimental duct system.

Most of the loads in industrial power distribution systems are balanced and connected to three power systems. However, in the user power distribution systems, most of the loads are single ＆ three phase and unbalanced, generating voltage unbalance. Rotating machines operating on an unbalanced voltage will draw a highly unbalanced current. As a result, the three-phase currents may differ considerably, thus resulting in an increased temperature rise in the machine. This paper presents a scheme on steady states of a three-phase induction motor under unbalanced voltages. The three-phase voltages applied to the stator winding of the studied induction motor are controlled by respectively adjusting the magnitude and phase angle of each phase. The voltage unbalanced factor(VUF) of the three-phase source voltages can then be varied to examine the different values of VUF on machine's operation characteristics.

A lot of slot openings which are the rest of winding in stator slot can be applied by wedges made of magnetically anisotropic material in order to lead magnetic flux into rotor in rotating machines. In this paper, high efficiency single-phase induction motor was analyzed with a 2-dimensional finite element method by using magnetic wedges for improvement of efficiency.

회전기기인 고압 전동기 및 발전기의 고정자권선에서 나타나는 운전중 부분방전 진단을 위한 방법의 하나로 비접촉식 센서를 이용한 부분방전 측정에 관한 연구가 최근 들어 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 이들 권선에서 나타나는 부분방전의 방사특성에 대하여 정확한 측정이 국내에서 체계적으로 검토된 실적이 없는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 회전기 고정자권선의 부분방전 현상을 측정하는데 이용될 비접촉식 부분방전 진단센서를 개발함에 있어서 필요한 측정 주파수대역을 선정하는데 이용하고자, 여러 종류의 고정자 권선을 대상으로 전압을 인가하여 발생되는 부분방전의 펄스의 방사특성 및 잡음특성을 실험실적으로 측정하여 고찰하였다.

Impingement cooling utilizing synthetic jets is emerging as a popular cooling technique because of its high local cooling efficiency. The interaction between the vortex structure of the synthetic jet and the surface is crucial in understanding the mechanism of this technique. In this study, the impinging vortex structure and its advection are investigated by experiments with jet-to-surface spacing $2{\leq}H/D{\leq}7$, and synthetic jet Reynolds number $5120{\leq}Re{\leq}9050$. Using phase-locked particle image velocimetry, ensemble averaged (phase averaged) flow fields are obtained, and vortex identification and quantification techniques are applied. The shape, trajectory, and intensity change of the vortex are assessed. A sharp decline in the vortex intensity and the occurrence of a counter-rotating vortex at the impingement point are observed.
