Computer Controlled Experimental Impulse Turbine- Engineering Lab Training Systems Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
EXERCISES AND PRACTICAL POSSIBILITIES
Some Practical Possibilities of the Unit:
1.-Visual examination of a small turbine.
2.-Comparison of turbine performance, including specific consumption, when using:
Throttle control.
Nozzle control.
3.-Production of torque/speed and power/speed curves.
4.-Determination of the isentropic efficiency of a turbine and plotting the end states on a temperature/entropy diagram.
5.-Application of the First Law to a simple open system undergoing a steady flow process.
6.-Construction
of retardation curve and the determination of resisting torques due to
bearing frictions, disc friction and windage, at different speeds.
7.-Demonstration of cooling by expansion.
Other possible practices:
8.-Sensors calibration.
Practices to be done by PLC Module (PLC-PI)+PLC Control Software:
9.-Control of the HTIC unit process through the control interface box without the computer.
10.-Visualization of all the sensors values used in the HTIC unit process.
11.-Calibration of all sensors included in the HTIC unit process.
12.-Hand on of all the actuators involved in the HTIC unit process.
13.-Realization
of different experiments, in automatic way, without having in front the
unit. (This experiment can be decided previously).
14.-Simulation of outside actions, in the cases do not
exist
hardware elements. (Example: test of complementary tanks, complementary
industrial environment to the process to be studied, etc).
15.-PLC hardware general use and manipulation.
16.-PLC process application for HTIC unit.
17.-PLC structure.
18.-PLC inputs and outputs configuration.
19.-PLC configuration possibilities.
20.-PLC program languages.
21.-PLC different programming standard languages.
22.-New configuration and development of new process.
23.-Hand on an established process.
24.-To visualize and see the results and to make comparisons with the HTIC unit process.
25.-Possibility of creating new process in relation with the HTIC unit.
26.-PLC Programming Exercises.
