CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS In the petroleum industry, gas is com- Pressed for transportation to consuming markets and for refining processes. This rogram is about the construction end ‘operation of compressors. Unit 3 of Compressors teaches the oper- ating principles of centrifugal and axial ‘compressors and the construction end operation of centriiugal compressors, INSTRUCTIONS This isa programed learning course. Programad learning gives information in a series of stone ‘alied frames, Each frame gives some information and asks Yyou to make use of it Here is how it works. First, cover the response column at the right with a mask, Read this frame and use the information it gives to ill in the blank, ‘A micrometer is an instrument designed to measure in thousandths of an inch, ‘A micrometer is a good tool for measuring very. ifferences in size Move the mask down to uncover the word at the right of the frame. If you have filled the biank with that word or a word that means the same, you are ready to go ahead to the next frame. ‘The drawing of 2 micrometer provides information that will help you fill in the next blanks. onsect TO BE MEASURED anit wn THIMBLE SPINDLE Seven major parts are shown in the drawing, but only the____and the __contact the object, to be measured. small anvil, spindle The next frame calls for a choice. Circle or underline the ap- propriate word. Of the two parts that contact the object, only the (anvil/ spindle) moves. A program is a series of frames that work like the ones you have just done, Read the frame, Use the information to fill in the blanks or make # choice. ‘Move the mask down and check the response column, Go on to the next frame, Remember to cover the response column with a mask before ‘you begin each page. Notice that the lett-hand pages from here on are printed upside down. The program is designed so that you will go through all the right-hand pages first, and then turn the book upside down and go through the other pages. spindle CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS Section One POTENTIAL AND KINETIC ENERGY Exhibite for this program are placed in the center of the book co that they may be removed easily for reference. Please remove them now s0 that you will have them available when needed. - 10, 1 12, To do work, some form of energy is needed. An electric energy. Under certain conditions, matter can do work. A wound-up Clock spring ( can do work / cannot do work } ‘A moving hammer, due to its motion, ( ean | cannot ) do work. Both the moving hammer and the wound-up spring possess some kind of ________ that enables them to do work. ‘The hammer js moving and the spring is not. The energy of a moving hammer and the energy of a ‘wound-up springs ( the same ja different) kind of energy. A moving hammer and flowing water posssss kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy that a body possesses due to its ( motion / molecular arrangement) ‘A wound spring and still water behind a dem have potential energy. Potential energy is the energy that a body possesses due to ts position or arrangement. wmen a spring Is wound, is done on it. Because of the work that was done on it, the wound-up spring cossesses potential Suppos Werk was done in lifting the iron ball, The ball, due to its position, possesses. nergy. ball of irom ie lited 20 fect off the ground. ‘Tho balls allowed to drop. As the ball drops, it acquires energy, due to ts motion. When the ball hits the ground, it does electric ‘can do work energy a different moleculsr work eneray potential kinetic work 1, Something possessing kinetic energy can do—___ work when it ie lowed down or stopp 14. Woik is done in lifting the ball. Due to the work done on it, the ball acquires energy. potential 18. The potential energy of the ball isturned into—____ kinetic energy as the ball drops. 16 The kinetic energy in turn can be converted into {as the ball is stopped. work 17. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be converted trom one to ancther. form, or type. 18. Potential energy can be converted into —___ kinetic energy oF work. 19. Kinatic energy can be converted into potential energy, 20. As work is done on an object, some kind of energy fe sdded to it PRESSURE AND VELOCITY—TWO FORMS OF GAS ENERGY 21. When an amount of gas is compressed into a smaller volume, the pressure of the gas ( increases / stays the sams ). increases 22. To comprest the gas some _______ has to be work done tot 23, Compressed gas in a static state exerts iis energy in the form of pressure in all directions oS When @ gas is flowing, some of its energy in the form of pressure is Converted to energy in the form of mation in (a singje direction / alt directions ). single direction 24. A compressed gas possesses potential energy due to the it exerts 2. A flowing gas possesses kinetic energy due to its , in one direction, 26. Gas in a static state has all ofits energy in the form of only. 27. Velocity is the speed of flow. The higher he speed of flow, the higher the 28.
