Analysis of Flow Through Roots Blower Systems

ABSTRACT

Kinematic analysis of a Roots blower with involute flanks and circular root and tip sections is explained. The thermo-fluid model for the blower is described. Two mathematical models have been used to model the blower and its piping system. In the first model flow is assumed steady in the pipes,whereas In the second the unsteady flow in the pipes is taken into consideration. Leakage from the pressure side to the suction side of the blower is treated with a simple model.

The change of volumetricefficiency at different operating conditions is given. It is possible to investigate the property variations with time at different parts of the blower system with the computer program written.

Qualitative comparisons of the results with experimentalones are satisfactory.

Rerefined Engine Oil

Dear Sir or Madam,

Many thanks for your letter of 7th November to our department VSE/PB. We would like to comment on your questions as follows: For several years now we have used products which have a rerefined content as factory fill products for our passenger car engines. At certain times differing amounts of rerefined content were in use for various reasons.

If these rerefined oils are manufactured correctly, there is then no reason not to use them. We approved the use of rerefined engine oils for use in our engines decades ago. The requirement is, above all, that the rerefining process is perfect and the oils are alloyed correctly just like virgin base oils.

We check the performance of engine oils. It is left to the customer if he then uses a mineral oilbased, rerefined, synthetic, partly synthetic or hydro-cracked oil.

The U.S. Automotive Market and Industry in 2025

Introduction

On May 19, 2009, President Obama announced a new national fuel economy program requiring an average fuel economy standard of 35.5 miles per gallon for new light vehicles sales by 2016. The plan overruled the Energy Independence and Security Act which was signed into law in December 2007 and increases the new fuel economy standard four years sooner than previously planned. On May 21, 2010 the President directed two government agencies, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation (NHTSA), to start planning new fuel economy standard or levels of green house gas (GHG) emissions for 2017- 2025. On October 1, 2010, these two agencies took the first step by announcing their initial assessment, or Notice of Intent (NOI), for stringent standards for model year 2017-2025 vehicles. In a joint document, the Interim Joint Technical Assessment Report (TAR), the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and EPA/NHTSA proposed four GHG emission reduction scenarios...
