Taguchi optimization of micron sized lubricant oil droplet deposition on a hot plate

Abstract

The deposition of micron sized lubricant oil droplets similar to oil droplets in blow-by gases of Internal combustion (IC) engines on a hot flat plate was studied using a round impinging jet configuration. Five parameters which simulate the different operational conditions in IC engines were chosen: The impaction nozzle's outlet diameter, additional air flow rate, plate angle, plate temperature, and nozzle to the plate distance. An Experimental test-rig was constructed to acquire deposit weight with different parameter values. To find the conditions of minimum deposition, the deposit's weight was optimized using the Taguchi design of experiment method with respect to the design parameters. Using the experimental data, the predicted optimal value of the deposit weight was confirmed. Analysis of variance showed that plate angle is the most influential factor in deposition of fine oil droplets. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the mechanism of deposition.

Commisioning Oily Water Separator System Pada Kapal Bangunan Baru

“…Fungsi OWS yaitu untuk memisahkan antara air dan kandungan minyak hingga mencapai maksimal 15 ppm, sehingga air buangan kelaut tidak menimbulkan pencemaran. Prinsip dasar dan cara kerja OWS yaitu pemisahannya berdasarkan berat jenis dari unsur-unsur yang terkandung di dalam air got [12,13,14]. Dimana unsur yang memiliki berat jenis paling besar (lumpur) akan berada paling bawah dan keluar lewat sludge out, kemudian air yang berat jenis lebih berat dari minyak dan lebih ringan dari lumpur akan berada dibawah minyak di ruang pemisah [15,16,17].…”

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Efficiency and Pressure Drop of an Inertial Impactor with Variable Area

“…Gas permeation into the oil surface leads to formation of oil strings and with impacting the air jet to these strings, the ultrafine droplets form with the diameter less than 5 micrometers. Shojaeefard et al (2015) studied on the deposition of ultrafine oil particles on circular inertial impactor. The numerical and experimental investigation of the effect of ultrafine oil particles with 0.1-6 µm diameter which has deposited on the cold flat plate is done by Shojaeefard et al (2016).…”

3D tomographic PIV, POD and vortex identification of turbulent slot jet flow impinging on a flat plate

“…Many applications are mentioned for this phenomenon in the literature. To name just a few, it can find broad application in the metal industry, cooling of electronic components, defogging by heating optical surfaces, cooling turbine compo-nents and cooling sensitive parts in machining [6,7]. Hence, many experimental and numerical research studies are performed to investigate the impinging jets.…”
