Abstract:
Good sealing is a key requirement for modern efficient turbomachinery such as steam and gas turbines. A class of seals that promise better performance, compared to conventional labyrinth seals, are contacting filament seals such as brush, leaf, or finger seal. When new, these filament seals offer better performance; however, if poorly designed they wear excessively, resulting in leakages higher than a comparable labyrinth seal. This paper outlines a design methodology for selecting ideal contacting filament seal properties for a given operating cycle or set of operating cycles. Following this approach ensures the seal performs well, the seal retains its performance, and performance is retained if the operating cycle is altered. In the approach, the seals are described by four generic properties (stiffness, blow-down, cross-coupling, and build clearance), which are then used for a performance evaluation based on a number of test cycles. Once the ideal seal properties for a given operating cycle have been identified, a seal to match these can be designed. The approach is evaluated with a generic gas turbine cycle and recommendations for ideal contacting filament seal properties for this cycle are made.

Abstract:
Research was carried out on four main subject areas: playing quality of natural turf; establishment; nitrogen nutrition and stabilisation ofsand rootzones. Apparatus and test methods for determining playing quality are described and procedures for the development of standards for playing quality measures are given. A theoretical analysis of the factors governing playing quality was undertaken which showed that natural turf must be considered in terms of the plant and soil constituents and the manner in which these interact, especially in response to wear. The soil factor grouping is shown to be the most important influence on playing quality, primarily through its effect on moisture retention and throughput. A large-scale field experiment was carried out in order to investigate the effect of five different constructional techniques on playing quality and other aspects of turf performance. Constructional types included: pipe-drainage, slitdrainage, slit-drainage with a 25mm sand layer, a sand carpet and a sand profile construction. The results showed that the sand-based constructions provided the best playing quality but that potential numbers of days lost due to the presence of standing water decreased with increasing constructional sophistication. A review of playing quality of fine turf was carried out and an experiment on ball roll characteristics of five turfgrass specieswas undertaken which showed significant differencesamong species. Two experiments on the establishment of turf using different types of seed and sod were carried out, whose objective was to determine the effects of these experimental treatments on the playing quality, ground cover and water infiltration rate of playing surfaces for both football and golf. Experimental treatments included grades of mature turf, juvenile turf and seed. The most notable finding was the dramatic reduction in water infiltration rate where mature turfwas used for establishment. This was ascribed to a combination of organic and mineral matter imported along with the turf causing blockage of soil macropores and hence reducing water infiltration rate. The effect offertiliser nitrogen on the response of Lolium perenne turf grown on a PruntyMulqueen sand carpet rootzone was studied a field experiment which was subjected to football-type artificial wear treatments during two playing seasons. Measures included ground cover under wear and playing quality. In the case of ground cover and player traction responses to nitrogen showed distinct optima particularly during wear. Ball rebound resilienceand hardness showed no such response. Finally an experiment on the stabilisation ofsand rootzones for sport was carried out the objective of which was to study the effect of artificially strengthening a sand rootzone using randomly oriented tensile inclusions {Netlon mesh elements}. Three different rates of mesh elements, two different sizes and establishment using two types of turf were studied in a field experiment. Mesh element inclusion was found to increase water infiltration rate, traction and hardness. Turf treated by washing to remove adhering soil prior to laying also gave higher infiltration rates and, in addition, affected playing quality.

Abstract:
With the vast majority of mergers and acquisitions resulting in failure, and the number of such transactions on the increase, it is imperative that leaders involved in future acquisitions are equipped with the requisite skills to overcome the hurdles that an acquisition may present to the entities and individuals involved. The literature indicates that whilst the commercial, legal and operational elements of an acquisition are usually well planned and accounted for, there is often an oversight around the human element which ultimately contributes to the failure. The aim of this research is to identify which people performance management issues are prevalent in the different phases of an acquisition, the influence these issues have on employee performance and, ultimately, how they impact the success or failure of an acquisition. The research investigated the perceptions and experiences of senior managers and executives in a global information and communications technology (ICT) company, each of whom had been part of an acquisition, and had focused on the human element of an acquisition, which is often overlooked. In-depth interviews were conducted with a group of 16 interviewees, comprising of nine senior managers and seven executives. The respondents fell into two groups, with one group having worked for a global entity that had undertaken an acquisition and the other half having worked for a local organisation that had undertaken an acquisition in South Africa. A theoretical model, a ?Framework for Maximising Acquisition Success', emerged from the findings of the research. This model provides insight into a range of people management aspects of an acquisition across three phases, being before, during and after. These aspects include the foundational elements, core activities and critical enabling factors which are prevalent in the different phases of an acquisition. This model will equip senior managers and executives who are considering embarking on a future acquisition with a means of identifying the key people management elements of the acquisition process. The application of this model aims to maximise the chances of delivering a successful acquisition.

Fasbender, Patrick. "Maximising ball release speed in overhead throwing through optimising arm segment masses." Thesis, Brunel University, 2017. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/16239.

Full text
Abstract:
The tapering distribution of segment masses in the human arm helps in the generation of high ball release speeds in overarm throwing. However, the masses of the individual arm segments might not be optimal; arm segment masses could be optimised in order to improve throwing performance. The aim of this project was to identify and understand the optimal upper arm mass that results in the highest ball release speed in overarm throwing. The first study was a theoretical study, using a simple two-segment model of the arm to determine the optimal combination of arm segment masses that maximises ball release speed. This simplified throw was chosen to identify the basic mechanism causing changes in ball release speed with a heavier upper arm mass. The study identified that there is an optimal upper arm mass, but this optimum depends on the forearm mass and the shoulder torque. Furthermore, the study showed that a heavier forearm mass produces a lower ball release speed. An experimental approach was used in the second study to analyse the effect of additional upper arm mass on ball release speed and throwing mechanics in an overarm throw similar to that used by baseball pitchers. However, group analysis of the ball release speed did not reveal an optimal upper arm mass, and most of the kinematic, kinetic, and temporal variables were not affected by additional upper arm mass. However, analysing the ball release speed of each participant individually revealed that most participants increased their ball release speed, although there was considerable variation in the optimal upper arm mass. As the optimal upper arm masses in this study did not agree with those predicted in the first theoretical study, a more realistic three-dimensional model is needed to simulate the effect of upper arm mass on ball release speed. The third study was a combination of a theoretical and experimental approach. A three-dimensional model of the throwing arm was used to predict the participant's optimal upper arm mass and to determine the kinematic and kinetic variables that determine the optimal upper arm mass in overarm throwing. Even though the simulations did not accurately predict an athlete's optimal upper arm mass, the results highlighted that throwing athletes can benefit from a heavier upper arm mass as long as their ability to produce a high internal shoulder rotation angular velocity is not restricted. In summary, the findings of this project highlight that some athletes can benefit from a heavier upper arm mass to maximise their ball release speed without increasing the risk of injuries. However, as the optimal upper arm varies between athletes it is important to analyse each athlete individually.

Abstract:
Judging time-to-contact with a target is an important criterion for avoiding harm in everyday walking and running tasks, and maximizing performance in high-velocity sporting tasks. The information-based regulation of step length and duration during target-directed locomotion was examined in relation to gait mode, approach velocity, target task, expertise, and sporting performance during a series of four experiments. The first three experiments examined novice performers (Each n=12, 6 males, 6 females), whilst the last experiment examined expert gymnasts (n=5). Two reference strips with alternating 50cm black and white intervals were placed on either side of the approach strip for all of the experiments. One 50Hz-panning video camera filmed the approach from an elevated position. In Experiment 4, two stationary 250Hz cameras filmed the post-flight performance of the gymnastic vaults and, in addition, two qualified judges provided a performance score for each vaulting trial. The panning video footage in each experiment was digitized to deduce the gait characteristics. In Experiment 4, the high-speed video footage was analyzed three-dimensionally to obtain the performance measures such as post-flight height. The utilization of visual stimulus in target-directed locomotion is affected by the observer's state of motion as characterized by the mode of locomotion and also often the speed of locomotion. In addition, experience plays an important role in the capacity of the observer to utilize visual stimulus to control the muscular action of locomotion when either maintaining or adjusting the step mechanics. The characteristics of the terrain and the target also affect the observer's movement. Visual regulation of step length decreases at higher approach speeds in novice performers, where as expert performers are capable of increasing visual regulation at higher approach speeds. Conservatism in final foot placement by female participants accounts for the observed increase in distance from the critical boundary of the obstacle relative to toe placement. Behavioural effects of gender thus affect the control of final foot placement in obstacle-directed locomotion. The visual control of braking in target-directed locomotion is described by a tau-dot of-0.54. When tau-dot is below -0.54 a hard collision with the obstacle will occur, however, when tau-dot is above -0.54, a soft collision with the target will occur. It is suggested that the tau-dot margin defining the control of braking reveals the braking capacity of the system. In the target-directed locomotion examined a tau-dot greater than -0.70 would possibly exceed the braking capacity of the system, thus, leading to injury if performed. The approach towards the take-off board and vaulting horse in gymnastics is an example of target-directed locomotion in sport. Increased visual regulation of the timing and length of each step is a requirement for a fast running approach, a fundamental building block for the execution of complex vaults in gymnastics. The successful performance of complex vaults in gymnastics leads towards a higher judge's score. Future research suggestions include an investigation of visual regulation of step length in curved target-directed locomotion.

Abstract:
A micropump is a crucial component in a microfluidic device, as it could generate accurate tiny amounts of fluid and hence reduces the reagents cost and shortens the analysis time. A conventional pump requires valves, which are difficult to be assembled when reduced to micro scale. Hence valveless pump would be the obvious solution. To achieve the flow directing capability, gradually expanding/contracting diffuser/nozzle elements are used as the “fixed valves” in valveless micropumps. The fluid flowing along the nozzle direction receives a larger pressure loss than that along the diffuser direction. Therefore, with periodic oscillation of the flow, there would be a net flux along the diffuser direction. Based on previous researches, the performance of a valveless micropump primarily relies on the flow-directing capability of the diffuser/nozzle element, which is also known as diffuser efficiency, η. A higher η means a higher flow-directing ability and thus, a larger flux of a valveless micropump. There are many researchers attempting to maximise η. In this work, a new diffuser/nozzle structure with extended sidewalls at the large end, named as “lips”, is proposed, investigated and simulated. Introducing more frictional pressure loss in the nozzle direction, the “lips” could increase the η by a maximum of 31%, which correlates to an improvement of 23% for the net flux of the entire micropump. Later, more simulations with different lip lengths, thicknesses and extended angles of the “lips” were also investigated and compared. The results show that η increases with the “lips” length at the beginning and reaches a peak at some length. Further, the thickness of the “lips” has nearly no influence on the performance improvement. Finally it was found that the highest η occurs when the “lips” are almost perpendicular to the outlet plane.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Dynamic Well Operating Envelop (WOE) allows to ensure that well is maintained and operated within design limits and operated in the safe, stable and profitable way. WOE covers the Well Integrity, Reservoir constraints and Facility limitations and visualizes them on well performance chart (Hamzat et al., 2013). Design and operating limits (such as upper and lower completion/facilities design pressures, sand failure, erosion limitations, reservoir management related limitations etc) are identified and translated into two-dimensional WOE (pressure vs. flowrate) to ensure maximum range of operating conditions that represents safe and reliable operation are covered. VLP/IPR performance curves were incorporated based on latest Validated Well Model. Optimum well operating window represents the maximum range of operating conditions within the Reservoir constraints assessed. By introducing actual Well Performance data the optimisation opportunities such as production/injection enhancement identified. During generating the Well Operating Envelops tremendous work being done to rectify challenges such as: most static data (i.e. design and reservoir limitations) are not digitized, unreliable real-time/dynamic data flow (i.e. FTHP, Oil/Gas rates etc), disintegrated and unreliable well Models and no solid workflows for Flow assurance. As a pre-requisite the workflows being developed to make data tidy i.e.ready and right, and Well Model inputs being integrated to build updated Well Models. Successful WOE prototype is generated for natural and artificially lifted Oil and Gas wells. Optimisation opportunities being identified (i.e. flowline pressure reduction, reservoir stimulation and bean-up) Proactive maintenance is made possible through dynamic WOE as a real time exceptional based surveillance (EBS) tool which is allowing Asset engineers to conduct the well performance monitoring, and maintain it within safe, stable and profitable window. Additionally, it allows to track all Production Enhancement jobs and seamless forecasting for new opportunities.

Abstract:
Maximising cross ventilation is a low energy method of naturally ventilating and providing heating and cooling to deep plan spaces. Significant reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases can be achieved through minimising the use of mechanical systems in regions with climatic conditions that support the use of natural ventilation. Arup has provided input into the design of a louvered facade for the control of external noise for Brisbane Domestic Airport. A full scale prototype facade was constructed and noise transmission loss measurements were undertaken. The results indicate that significant noise reduction can be achieved to enable compliance with the internal noise limits for airport terminals, whilst using natural ventilation. The findings from this research will directly benefit building designers and innovators in the pursuit of achieving sustainable building design.

Abstract:
Abstract This publication presents how 4D seismic and reservoir simulation techniques were used to optimise the trajectory of an infill production well in a producing oil field. The A6 infill well target in Field X offshore Nigeria was planned as a 12000 feet horizontal drill well with a 4900 feet gravel pack completion in the reservoir formation. The initial well trajectory delivered early water breakthrough and low oil recovery. The well planning team resolved the issue by reconciling the well trajectory and completion data in the geologic and reservoir simulation models, and used 4D seismic difference maps to validate the infill drilling target. Alternative well trajectories were then simulated to improve reservoir penetration and to place the well up-structure and away from the current oil water contact. The optimised well trajectory increased the incremental oil recovery from 1.8 MMSTB to 3.0 MMSTB, and significantly boosted the project economics. The well came online in 2016, and delivered higher oil rates than the forecast. 4D seismic and reservoir simulation techniques optimised the infill well trajectory, delayed water breakthrough, and maximised oil recovery. Nearby wells can be shut in during drilling operations to minimise the risk of drilling losses and well integrity failures. Oil asset net present value can also be preserved and boosted with water injection performance monitoring, zonal testing, short circuit diagnosis and remediation, and water shut off work-overs. This paper presents a case study of an infill production well placement optimised with 4D seismic and reservoir simulation tools, and simplifies the infill well placement value creation process.

Abstract:
A large proportion of modern centrifugal impellers are machined from solid forgings rather than made from cast metal. The CNC milling process offers options to manufacturers to minimise manufacturing costs whilst also enhancing performance of the impeller. Efficient manufacturing can result in cutter tool marks and paths and associated roughness remaining on the hub and blade surfaces of impellers as a result of minimising passes and maximising the cut. The goal of manufacturers is to allow these marks to be as deep as possible to minimise machining costs but without any negative effects in performance and possibly even enhancing it. There are existing modelling methods that predict the influence of roughness on compressor performance using the definition of an equivalent sand grain roughness. The purpose of this study is to relate the performance directly to the tool mark characteristics that are by-products of machining, namely cusp height, cutter path roughness and orientation of the cutter path relative to the local flow velocity, to review the current modelling techniques for predicting the influence of surface condition on compressor performance and to show the scope for optimisation of manufacturing and performance considerations.
