Stress Analysis of Pressing Joint of Two Conical Pipes - Part 2

Publication Name: Strojnicky Casopis

Publication Date: 2024-11-01

Volume: 74

Issue: 2

Page Range: 43-48

Description:

The paper presents a strength analysis of a pressed joint of two conical pipes with the aim of finding out whether this method of connection is suitable for telecommunication masts. In this paper, a solution using an engineering approach and a finite element method (FEM) numerical analysis for transversal direction will be compared.

Design of Flat Loop Reactor with Bubble Column Circulation, Algae Growing Equipment

Publication Name: Strojnicky Casopis

Publication Date: 2024-11-01

Volume: 74

Issue: 2

Page Range: 35-42

Description:

Based on the flow modeling and operational experience of the previous cylindrical loop reactor, we designed a sheet reactor combined with a loop reactor. The design with a cylindrical cross-section was applied to an equivalent cross-section (sheet) of several squares arranged next to each other. In accordance with the sedimentation processes experienced in the outlet branch, we created an algae trap, thereby reducing the flow to the level necessary for sedimentation. With this, I would like to achieve the already experienced, nearly 10-fold increase in algae concentration compared to the one in the mainstream.

Flow Simulation in an Alga Photobioreactor Tested Under Laboratory Conditions

Publication Name: Strojnicky Casopis

Publication Date: 2024-05-01

Volume: 74

Issue: 1

Page Range: 35-44

Description:

For the purpose of efficient algae cultivation, the Photo Bio-Reactor (PBR) must be designed according to the needs of the algae to be cultivated. We performed our experiment with a loop reactor with a total volume of 14 liters. Among other things, the mixing of the gas and liquid phases, the value and change of the light intensity reaching the algae, and the degree of algae deposition on the walls of the equipment depend on the flow caused by the bubble column in the equipment. Using the ANSYS FLUENT simulation environment, we optimized the efficiency of the gas intake that determines the flow.

STRESS ANALYSIS OF PRESSING JOINT OF TWO CONICAL PIPES

Publication Name: Strojnicky Casopis

Publication Date: 2023-05-01

Volume: 73

Issue: 1

Page Range: 117-124

Description:

This paper presents a stress analysis of a pressed joint of two conical pipes with the aim to find out whether this kind of connection is suitable for telecommunication masts. The analysis can be considered a complex spatial problem of a thin-walled shell, where the local bending stress influence might be dominant. In this paper a solution using engineering approach and numerical analysis with finite element method (FEM) will be compared.
