Act 6: scene 5
(In the garden… Koenma is under a tree with George and Botan. Koenma is half-asleep.)
George: So how's your vacation so far Botan?
Botan: It's been great! We visited Yukina and the others at the temple and I'm staying in Keiko's house now.
George: I wish I had a vacation too…
Botan: But where will you go? Do you know of a place to stay?
George: uhh… well… no.
Botan (sad smile): Don't worry; I'm sure there will be a place for you somewhere.
George: Thanks!
Koenma: I think I'm gonna throw up… (tummy rumbles)
Botan; Oh Koenma-sama, what did you do to yourself? I'll go see what's taking Kurama so long. (runs to the door.)
(Inside the house…. Kitchen area: Kurama and Hiei are looking for some aspirin.)
Hiei: Hn. I didn't come here to look for some stupid medicine kitsune.
Kurama: I know that Hiei, but Koenma needs our help. Why don't you just get a glass of water?
Hiei: Hn.
Kurama (smiles; amused): Thank you Hiei. Ah! I found it. (shows Hiei the aspirin)
Hiei (with a glass of water): Oh, shut up will you?
Kurama (opens the door): Looks like somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed today. (Botan bumps into him). Whoa…
*~~Quick Flashback~~*
(Train station place… chapter 3 for those of you who would want to know ^^)
Kurama: Whoa…
Botan: Sumimasen!! I'm in a hurry!! (runs off)
Kurama(looks at Botan's direction): Hey! Wait! *to himself* She looks awfully familiar… I wonder who she could be?
*~~End of Flashback~~*
Kurama (still in his thoughts; look of disbelief): Botan? No… (Sees a worried Botan; snaps back to reality) I mean… Botan! Is something wrong?
Botan (frantic): Koenma-sama says he's gonna throw up! Please do something!
Kurama: Don't worry; I'm sure it's not that bad…
(Setting: Ramen House… Yuusuke, Kuwabara, and Keiko are having a talk…)
Yuusuke (eating some noodles; shocked): *to Kuwabara* You did what?!
Kuwabara: I told you I'd get back at the shrimp! So I made this! *shows off his poorly made Barney costume*
Keiko (giggling): You made that by yourself?
Kuwabara (proudly): Of course not! I had my lovely Yukina to help me! Ahh… Yukina my love *dreamy eyes*
Yuusuke: Snap out of it, will you! Keiko, I need a glass of water.
Keiko (with a raised eyebrow; tapping her foot): You're forgetting something…
Yuusuke: Please?
Keiko (hands him a glass of water): You're welcome, Yuusuke.
Kuwabara: You guys have the weirdest relationship I know…
(Keiko blushes.) Yuusuke: Anyways, does anyone want to go with me? I'm visiting Kurama and Hiei today.
Keiko: Oh good. Botan's there too and I forgot to ask her something this morning… (Yuusuke and Keiko slowly exit.)
Kuwabara: *smirks* Looks like it's time for Plan A…. *evil laugh* ( Sees that the two has left him.) Hey! Wait for me!!
(Back in the garden of Kurama. Hiei is on a tree branch with his Walkman.)
Koenma (looks a bit sick): Gomen Kurama, I made a mess of your garden.
Kurama: Well, it's not everyday that we get people who have a hangover here at our place. *smiles*
George and Botan: So he's just fine?
Kurama: Hai, hai. Just a little more rest and he will be back to normal.
Botan (hands up high as if praising; looking up; happy): Thank you, Kami-sama! Thank you!!
George: Well, I guess I better clean up Koenma-sama's mess…. Uhh… but how?
Kurama: Uhh, well, we do have some soil somewhere here… and there's a shovel in the garage. Come, I'll show you. (exits with George.)
Botan: So, Koenma-sama, how are you?
Koenma (dazed): *Music plays* (Koenma sings)
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may, I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never
leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where
ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
All day long, I can hear people talking out loud (Botan
feels Koenma's forehead)
but when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may, they can never define
What's been said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never
leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where
ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
*Music ends*
Botan: *blink, blink* *smiles at Koenma* (sweatdrop) (Hiei turns up the volume of his Walkman.)
Koenma: You don't know how much I've missed you…
Botan: Nani? Oh, Koenma-sama, You really need a lot of rest. I think you're still-
Koenma: No! I'm fine, Botan… really I am. That medicine Kurama gave me helped a lot.
Botan: Oh good! That means you're well!! *gives Koenma a hug*
Koenma: Botan… *returns hug* (Hiei (rolls his eyes): These two are stupider than ningens…)
(Kurama and George enter with the shovel.)
Annie's Notes: Taaaanaaaan!!!! Cliffhangah!! Hehehe… anyways…

© 2013 - Roslindale Village Main Street
Join us every Saturday in Adams Park between 9:00 am to 1:30 pm (rain or shine) from June through through the weekend before Thanksgiving.
The RVMS Farmers Market is Boston's biggest neighborhood farmers market, with 30 vendors, up to 3,000 customers, and generates $4 Million in the local economy for both local and regional vendors and Roslindale Village businesses. In 2014 and 2016, the RVMS Farmers Market was voted the best farmers market in the City in WGBH's Boston A-List competition.
The idea of building a custom corral for Roslindale Village was hatched almost a year and a half ago. RVMS brought together neighborhood stakeholders who had been advocating for a corral with Street Ops, who was scouting locations to do a corral demonstration project. Residents and business owners of the Village, with the support of City Councilor Tim McCarthy, participated in working groups, site walks, and public meetings to discuss the lack of bike parking and evaluate opportunities for siting a corral. The bike corral is funded by a grant from the Boston Society of Architects Foundation, and elements of the corral and ribbon-cutting ceremony have been paid for by the Steve Gag Fund, set up by RVMS for bike-related efforts in the neighborhood. Read our blog for more info.
Our office has moved to 4236A Washington Street in the new Parkside on Adams building, right across the street from Adams Park. We are so happy to be in this new space -- be sure to come visit!
What happened to our other spaces?
* 2A Corinth Street will no longer be an RVMS space. We now have meeting space on the second floor of the building.
* Our annex on Poplar Street will continue to house the materials used for the RVMS Farmers Market

This is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Pat. application No. 903,560, filed May 8, 1978, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to separating devices and methods, and more particularly to separating devices and methods for gas turbines in environments having moisture particles in the air such as gas turbines for marine applications. For example, the method of the present invention is particularly useful for removing moisture particles entrained in air entering the air intake of a gas turbine for ships.
Moisture separators are provided for gas turbines for marine applications as the moisture particles in the air generally contain salt which, if it should be introduced into the turbine, would deleteriously affect the component parts of the turbine, as for example, by chemical corrosion. Further, the dry particles entrained in the air, for example sand and/or salt crystals, can cause "pitting" of the turbine components if they are not removed. However, by far the greatest concern is the moisture particles containing salt.
One early prior art device for removing moisture and other particles from the air introduced into the turbine comprised a single stage wire mesh pad placed in the air intake duct. The mesh pad was generally comprised of a plurality of layers forming an approximately two inch thick pad with each of the layers in turn comprised of a plurality of 0.006 inch diameter wires knitted into a grid or screen having approximately five to six stitches per inch, i.e., there were approximately five wires per inch of length stiched or joined together. The moisture particles were removed as a result of the particles impacting against and being captured by the wires of the pad as the air passed through the device. However, such a wire mesh pad did not adequately and efficiently remove all sized moisture particles entrained in the air and thus, was not acceptable.
Another prior art device for removing moisture particles which was found to be more accceptable, comprised a three stage separator in which the first and third stages were inertia separating vanes and the second stage was a coalescer. The first and third stage vanes had generally similar performance characteristics, one of which was that they exhibited very poor efficiency in removing smaller sized droplets, namely, eight microns and below. The reason for this is simply that inertia separating devices work on the principle that as the air flow turns to bypass the vanes or other impacting medium the moisture particles, being of larger size and more mass, cannot make the turns and instead impinge or impact upon the impacting medium, thereby being removed from the air stream. However, these conventional inertia vanes do not prove efficient to remove lower size droplet particles since such particles, being of lighter mass, can make the turns to avoid impacting on the vanes. As a consequence, the prior art employed a second stage filter comprised generally of a plurality of polyester fibers of 0.001 inch diameter or smaller. The duty of the second stage was to capture the fine droplets by inertial impaction that had passed through the first stage. Owing to their smaller diameter, the capture efficiency of the fibers was high so that some of the fibers would tend to collect several droplets which then coalesced or grouped together until a droplet was formed which was large enough to be re-entrained by the aerodynamic drag forces of the air passing therethrough. These re-entrained droplets were then captured by the third stage inertial device (either vanes or cyclones).
However, the addition of the third stage added greatly to the overall size and weight of the moisture separator, which already was quite large in order to achieve the high mass flow rates needed by the gas turbines for ships (on the order of 2000 cubic feet per second). Further still, the use of a polyester fiber pad having a plurality of closely spaced and dense fibers, each of a small diameter (on the order of 0.001 of an inch or smaller), tended to increase the flow resistance, and thus the pressure drop across the separator, for a given velocity of air flow. Thus, to achieve the desired flow rate, the size of the polyester pad and thus the size of the air duct in which the moisture separator was supported also had to be increased, thereby further adding to the weight, bulkiness, cost, etc. of the separating device.
It should be noted in this connection that various types of other filtering or separating arrangements and, in particular filtering pad arrangements, not specifically directed for use in marine applications are known in the prior art. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,086,070 to Argo et al, there is disclosed a fiber bed separator and method for separation of aerosols from gases without re-entrainment. In the improved fiber bed separator of Argo et al., there is provided a pair of fiber beds each comprised of a plurality of fiber elements or wires. In this reference, the distinction is made between the amount of water which is held by the bed after draining by gravity and that held against the drag of flowing gas or air therethrough. More particularly, the fiber diameter and bed voidage for the first or front bed in Argo et al. is selected such that at the design bed velocity and aerosol loading, the first bed will not be flooded and the residual saturation thereof against gas drag on the liquid collected will be less than the residual saturation of the bed against gravity drainage of the liquid. In other words, the front or first bed of fibers in Argo et al. is such that the collected liquid in the bed that does not drain by gravity will be blown through to the second fiber bed. In the second fiber bed on the other hand, the fiber diameter and bed voidage are chosen so that the residual saturation thereof against gas drag will be greater than the residual saturation of the bed against gravity drainage so that the liquid collected by the second bed will drain off by gravity as opposed to being re-entrained.
Thus, in accordance with the Argo et al teaching, a more dense fiber pad is used as a first stage in a filtering device in which the residual saturation against gravity drainage is greater than the residual saturation against gas phase drag so that liquid which does not drain from the first stage will be blown through to a second pad where the residual saturation against gas phase drag is greater than the residual saturation against gravity drainage so that liquid will drain off rather than be re-entrained in the air. Accordingly, the Argo et al solution to the problem of re-entrainment experienced in the prior art is to provide a second pad having specific characteristics chosen so that the pad has a greater tendency to drain captured or collected liquid by means of gravity than to permit re-entrained.
However, upon a detailed examination of the Argo et al system, it is seen that the flow velocities through the fiber pads with which the Argo et al arrangement is concerned are relatively low in comparison to the flow velocities through filtering arrangement used in connection with marine applications; i.e., the Argo et al arrangement is specifically designed to be utilized in connection with flow velocities which are generally less than 10 feet per second, whereas in marine applications flow velocities of greater than 20 feet per second are experienced. Furthermore, it is to be noted that from an examination of the Argo et al. reference, in particular FIGS. 1 and 7, Argo et al. suggests that the residual saturation of the second fiber bed against gas phase drag in virtually all instances decreases as the velocity through the bed increases, and that the upper limit of velocity through the bed is usually set by re-entrainment problems. This may be due to the fact that the Argo et al reference teaches that the particles captured by the fiber beds coalesce and drain by gravity.
In this regard, it is to be noted that re-entrainment of any collected or coalesced liquid droplets would require an additional device downstream of the filter pad for the purpose of recapturing the re-entrained particles in order to prevent the introduction of such moisture particles which are re-entrained to the turbine.
Another type of arrangement of the prior art, again not specifically directed for use as a moisture separator in marine applications, is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,158,449 to Sun et al. This patent discloses an inlet air cleaner assembly for turbine engines which are mainly used in connection with agricultural aircraft for the application of chemicals over large and not readily accessible land area. In the arrangement of this reference, there is provided a first stage vortex air cleaner and a second stage mist eliminator assembly. The first stage vortex air cleaner operates generally on the principles of inertia separating devices for removing heavier and larger sized contaminants particles in the air to provide partially processed air. The second stage of the filtering arrangement comprises a plurality of superimposed knitted wire mesh sheets which define passages therethrough for removing light-weight or well dispersed solid contaminate particles and liquid droplets. The wire mesh sheets are comprised of a plurality of monofiliments which may have a diameter ranging from 0.0005 inches to 0.035 inches and which are compressed substantially throughout the surface area. The monofiliments preferably are coated with oil or another nonvolatile liquid so that liquid which is removed by impingement on the oil coated wires of the mesh will tend to flow by gravity downwardly and collect in the bottom of the mist eliminator stage for subsequent removal.
Thus, it is apparent that even in this reference which is not mainly concerned or directed to a separator assembly for marine applications, there is the suggestion that liquid which is removed by the mist eliminator assembly coalesces and drains by gravity to a lower portion of the assembly. As such the use of this reference in a marine application where moisture particles are to be removed, would suggest that a further separating device is required downstream thereof for capturing any coalesced particles which become re-entrained. That is, because of the suggestion of coalescence occuring, it would be expected, especially at the particularly high flow velocities with which separating devices for marine applications are concerned that there is the possibility of the coalesced particles becoming re-entrained in the air stream. Thus, it would be expected that such re-entrainment of coalesced particles would create a problem, such as experienced in connection with some of the other prior art arrangements discussed hereinabove, if the Sun et al. arrangement were used, and thus necessitate the use of additional separator devices or means downstream of the filtering pad. In this regard, as noted above, coalescense would create a problem of re-entrainment at the relatively high flow velocities such as experienced in connection with marine applications since the aerodynamic drag forces produced thereby have a greater tendency to cause reentrainment of the enlarged coalesced droplets.
These and other disadvantages of the prior art are overcome with the improved method of the present invention for removing particles, and in particular moisture particles, entrained in air passing therethrough. In the improved method of the present invention, air such as to be introduced to a gas turbine on a ship, is passed at a velocity greater than 20 feet per second through an inertia separator means for inertially removing at least a portion of the larger sized particles from the air to provide partially processed air. The velocity of the air flow through the inertia separator means being greater than 20 feet per second is chosen as it is above this velocity that inertia separating devices are most effective for removing particulate matter entrained in the air. The partially processed air is then passed at a velocity greater than a predetermined velocity to an impact filtering pad for removing particles entrained in the partially processed air. The impact filtering pad comprises at least one layer of a plurality of fibers, each of the fibers having a diameter greater than 0.001 inches and less than 0.006 inches, and the pad having a ratio of the total surface area of the fibers in the pad to the volume of the pad which is greater than 45 ft.-1 and less than 1400 ft.-1. The predetermined velocity above which the partially processed air is passed through the impact filtering pad is greater than 20 feet per second, and is chosen according to the diameter of the fibers comprising the pad so that there is no coalescence of moisture particles captured by the pad. Accordingly, since coalescence of captured liquid droplets does not occur, a third stage of filtering means downstream of the impact filtering pad is not necessary; rather, the fibers of the impact filtering pad serve to capture and retain the particles impacted thereon.
Accordingly, in accordance with this method, improved separation is achieved with a minimum number of components, and in particular with a two stage separator device, thereby reducing the weight, bulkiness, cost, size, etc. of the separating means utilized.
These and other advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description in which reference is made to the enclosed drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, partially broken away, of a separator device employed in accordance with the present invention as a moisture separator for the air intake to a gas turbine on a ship.
FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of the moisture separator illustrated in FIG. 1, taken along lines 2--2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3a is a plan view of a portion of one layer of the impact filtering pad of the present invention.
FIG. 3b is a side view taken along lines 3b--3b of FIG. 3a.
FIG. 4 is a graphic representation illustrating the coalescense of moisture particles for the impact filtering pad as a function of velocity through the pad and the fiber diameter of fibers comprising the pad.
Turning now to the drawings in which like reference characters represent like elements, there is shown in FIG. 1 a moisture separating device 10 in accordance with the present invention in which the moisture separator 10 is placed in the air intake duct 12 of a gas turbine (not shown). As the separating device 10 in accordance with the present invention is particularly useful for removing moisture particles entrained in the air in which the moisture particles contain salt, the present invention is particularly useful for use with gas turbines on ships or other amphibious vehicles. It should also be understood that the separating device of the present invention is also useful in removing dry particles entrained in the air, such as for example, sand, salt crystals, etc. which also have a tendency to damage turbine components. However, as the separating device is primarily intended to remove moisture particles entrained in air, the present invention will be described with reference to such application.
It should be noted here that it is not the moisture per se which is undesirable but rather contaminate particles such as salt and the like which are dissolved in or carried by the moisture particles which are undesirable. However, as can be appreciated, the elimination of the moisture particles from the air will also serve to eliminate these undesirable contaminated particles.
In gas turbines for marine applications, the air ducts are placed high up in the ship or the vehicle so that as little moisture as possible might be entrained in the air being introduced into the gas turbine, and in such instance, the moisture separators would be mounted at the entrance of the air duct. The required air flow to be introduced to the turbine is on the order of magnitude of 2000 cubic feet per second and greater. The mass flow rate in turn is dependent upon the cross-sectional area of a duct through which the air is introduced and the velocity of the flow therethrough. For example, if the flow velocity through the duct can be increased, the cross-sectional area of the duct (and thus the size of the duct) can be reduced substantially. On the other hand, the pressure drop across the moisture separator placed in the duct must be maintained at an acceptable level. As the pressure drop across the moisture separator is dependent on both the flow resistance presented by the moisture separator and also the velocity of the flow therethrough, the pressure drop thus serves as a limit on the increase in flow velocity which can be obtained to satisfy the requirements for a given mass flow rate. Therefore, as it is desirable to decrease the size of the air duct (to save on costs, weight, etc.), it is desirable to design the moisture separator so as to have as low a flow resistance as possible. At the same time, the reduction in flow resistance presented by the moisture separator must not be such as to impair the efficiency to remove the moisture particles from the air passing through the separator.
With these principles in mind, the moisture separator in accordance with the present invention will now be discussed. As shown in FIG. 1, the moisture separator 10 comprises a two stage separating device. The first stage 14 of the separating device 10 comprises a conventional inertia device through which the air flow to be introduced to the turbine first passes. This inertia device, in the preferred embodiment, comprises, as is convnetional, a plurality of chevron or V-shaped vanes 16 vertically oriented and closely spaced to one another. However, it should, of course, be understood that other types of inertia devices could be used, as for example, cyclone separators. The plurality of vanes 16 are supported in a support frame 17 which holds the upper and lower ends of the vanes 16 in fixed position. Further, a drain for moisture removed from the air is generally provided in the bottom of the first stage 14, although it has not been shown.
As best seen in FIG. 2, the vanes 16 of the first stage inertial device 14 each have three peaked sections 18. The peaked sections 18 of adjacent vanes 16 thus define a tortuous path for the air flowing therethrough. In other words, as the air flows through the vanes 16, it must turn or bend several times to follow the path between the peaked sections 18 of adjacent vanes 16. As the entrained particles, such as for example, moisture particles containing salt, sand or other particular matter, are generally of a larger mass than the air particles, the entrained particles are thrown outwardly during the turns against the surfaces of the vanes 16 due to the centrifical force exerted thereon. That is, the lighter air particles are capable of making the turns through the series of peaked sections 18, whereas the heavier mass particles are not, thereby resulting in the larger particles impacting on the surface of the vanes 16. Each of the peaks 20 of the vanes 16 include stops 22 for preventing the impacted particles from sliding along the surface of the vanes 16 and becoming reentrained by virtue of the aerodynamic drag force exerted by the air flow.
As can be appreciated, the heavier the particles entrained in the air, the more likely such particles will impact on the vanes 16 and thus be removed from the air flow. On the other hand, lighter particles may have a tendency to successfully follow the flow path and remain entrained in the air. For example, inertia separator devices such as the stage 14 have been found to be efficient in removing moisture particles of a size over 8 microns (25.4 microns approximately equals 0.001 inches) in the range of the high flow velocities with which moisture separators for gas turbines are concerned, i.e., greater than 20 feet per second. However, the plurality of vanes 16 have not exhibited a high efficiency for removing moisture particles in the lower size droplet range, namely 8 microns and below. Thus, it is necessary to utilize further stages or devices for removing such lower sized particles.
After being partially processed by the first stage 14 of the moisture separator 10, the air is introduced through the second stage 24 which serves to further process the air to remove particles still entrained therein. As best seen in FIG. 2, 3a and 3b, the second stage of the separating device comprises an impact separating pad 26 comprised of at least one layer 28 of a plurality of fibers 30. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2, 3a and 3b, the pad 26 is actually comprised of a plurality of layers 28 of knitted wettable fibers 30. The layers 28 of pad 26 are supported in a frame 32 which is affixed to the downstream side of the first stage 14.
In the preferred embodiment, the fibers 30 forming the layers 28 of the pad 26 are comprised of monel wire. Monel is an alloy containing primarily nickel and copper, and other elements, and has been found to be extremely useful in marine type application since it is especially resistant to corrosion by salt entrained in the moisture of sea water.
As best seen in FIG. 3a which is a plan view of a portion of one layer of the pad 26, the wire fibers 30 have been knitted together to form a mesh or grid having the wires 30 joined or tied together. Preferably, the diameter of the fibers or wires 30 is on the order of 0.002 inches, but the diameter can range between 0.001 inches to 0.006 inches. With 0.002 inch diameter wire, it has been found with conventional knitting apparatus that there are approximately 10 to 12 stitches or joints per inch of mesh. That is, in a one inch length of the wire mesh 28, there are approximately 10 to 12 wires 30.
Also in the preferred embodiment, during the knitting operation, the wires 30 are crimped or bent slightly so that each of the layers 28 does not lie completely flat. This is shown in FIG. 3b. Thus, when the layers 28 are combined to form the pad 26, the layers 28 will not lie flat against one another but instead will provide a cushioning or "lofty" medium. In the preferred embodiment, the crimp is sufficient to allow no more than 20 or 24 layers per inch of depth of the pad 26. In this regard, it is to be noted that without the crimping of the wires 30, it has been found that there would be approximately 70 to 75 layers 28 of wires 30 per inch of pad depth. The reason that crimping of the wires 30 is desirable is that for a given number of layers 28, the resistance to flow (which is proportional to the pressure drop across the pad) will be lower if the distance between adjacent layers 28 is increased.
It should be noted that wire fibers 30 have been found to be preferable to form the layers 28 since the wires 30 will retain the crimp which is provided during the knitting or stitching operation to form the layers 28. Further, wires 30 provide a wettable surface which is most useful in capturing the particles of moisture which impact on the wires 30 as the air flows thereacross.
The mechanism by which the wire fiber pad 26 serves to remove particles from the air is inertial impaction. As the air "weaves" its way through the thickness of pad 26, the particles entrained in the air (for example particles of moisture containing salt, particles of sand, etc.) are not able to avoid the wires 30 and thus impact on the wires 30. With moisture particles, the surface tension or adhesion between the metallic wires 30 and the moisture particles which impact thereon is great and thus, the moisture particles are captured and removed from the stream of air. This would also be true with respect to other types of particulate matter entrained in the air, such as for example, salt crystals (produced when water of sea water evaporates) or sand, but it is to be noted that the adhesion or surface tension between such particles and the surface of the wires 30 is much less than with moisture particles. However, this is acceptable since the greatest concern is the sea water containing salt.
It should be noted that the smaller the size of the fibers 30, the more efficient the fibers 30 are in capturing fine moisture particles entrained in the air. That is, small diameter fibers have a relatively high capture efficiency by impaction. However, with too small of a fiber size, the chances are significantly increased that several droplets of moisture will be captured by the same fiber. When this occurs, the small droplets tend to coalesce together to form large droplets, such as for example, over 8 microns in size. Since the aerodynamic drag force will be greater on these coalesced droplets, there is a good chance that they will re-entrained in the air.
This is the reason why, with prior art separating devices which used a fiberous pad having fiber diameters of 0.001 inch or smaller, it was necessary to provide a third stage for capturing the large coalesced droplets. While it has been found that the degree of coalescence of smaller size particles, say in the range of 2 to 4 microns growing to 10 microns in size and above, is not great (on the order of 3 to 5%), it is significant enough that a third inertial impacting stage, such as for example, vanes or cyclones, was necessary to remove such coalesced particles from the air. However, in the present invention, this problem of coalescing is avoided by using a slightly larger size fiber 30, preferably having a diameter of 0.002 inches.
With respect to the various parameters for designing moisture separating devices for gas turbines, it is to be noted that the efficiency of a pad 26 for removing a particular size particle from the air is expressed by the well-known relationship for capture in a lattice arrangement:
ηp =1-e-0.212η.sbsp.f.sup.αt
ηp is the efficiency for removing a particular size particle;
ηf is the efficiency of a single fiber for removing such particular size particle;
α is the ratio of the total surface area of the fibers of the pad to the volume of the pad; and
t is the thickness of the pad.
Thus, as it is desirable to maintain the efficiency as close to one as possible, it is desirable to increase the product αt. On the other hand, the pressure drop across the pad is related to the quantity α2 t. Thus, increasing α to too great a quantity, will cause the pressure drop across the pad to increase, which as noted above, is undesirable. On the other hand, it should be noted that the thickness of the pad 26 is one dimension which also goes into determining the volume of the pad. Thus, the effect on the pressure drop by simply increasing the pad thickness (but maintaining the number and size of the wires 30 the same) actually serves to decrease the pressure drop.
In accordance with the present invention, the values for α should range between 45 ft.-1 to approximately 1400 ft.-1. In this way, the efficiency can be maximized while at the same time the pressure drop maintained at an acceptable level. More preferably, the value for α should range between 75 and 200 ft.-1. Also, it has been found desirable to maintain the thickness of the pad 26 between 1/2 inch and five inches, although of course, a lesser thickness, even down to a single layer 28 of wire mesh, could be utilized depending on the desired efficiency characteristics and pressure drop characteristics for a particular application. In the preferred embodiment, the thickness of the pad 26 is approximately three inches and comprises on the order of 70 layers 28 of the 0.002 inch diameter wire 30 having 10 to 12 stitches per inch. For such a pad 26, the value for α is approximately 84 ft.-1. If the pad thickness is compressed to 11/2 inches, the value for α would double to approximately 168 ft.-1.
It is to be noted that with respect to the polyester pads utilized in the prior art, the value for α was on the order of 1800 ft.-1. Accordingly, for a given thickness of pad, the pressure drop across a polyester fiber pad of the prior art is significantly higher than is across the pad 26 according to the present invention. Therefore, the velocity of the air flow through the pad 26 of the present invention can be increased over that which was possible with the polyester pad of the prior art. Thus, the size and weight of the moisture separator 10 can be substantially reduced, while at the same time maintaining an acceptable pressure drop level. Furthermore, since higher velocities for the air flow through the separator 20 can be attained with the pad 26 of the present invention, the particle separation efficiency is also increased. This is the result of the fact that droplet retention by impaction improves with an increase in velocity.
Moreover, owing to the larger diameter of the fibers over that of the polyester pad, the tendency of the drops to coalesce is eliminated. The reason for this is twofold. First, as the air velocity is increased, the ability of droplets to coalesce is impaired. Secondly, the aerodynamic drag forces at higher velocities is larger, and thus, the droplets are re-entrained in the air at lower sizes thereby preventing the growth of droplets by coalescing to larger sizes, say in the 10 to 13 micron range and above. The re-entrained droplets can then be captured by another fiber. Since the moisture droplets are not coalesced, there is no further need for a third stage inertia device in the moisture separator 10, which in the prior art was only useful for recapturing the coalesced moisture droplets. This elimination of the need for a third stage filter results in substantial savings, not only in cost, but also in the weight and size of the moisture separator 10.
An important point to note in this regard is the fact that for any given wire or fiber size in the impact filtering pad 26, there is a minimum flow velocity above which no coalescence will occur. It is this realization which makes such an impact filtering pad 26 as contemplated by the present invention particularly useful for the flow velocity ranges incurred in marine applications. That is, for wire sizes which are efficient in removing particulate matter from air, the flow velocity for marine applications can satisfactorily be chosen so that no coalescence will occur in the filtering pad 26, thus avoiding the necessity of any additional filtering means or stage downstream of the pad 26.
More particularly, FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the occurrence of coalescence and fiber diameter as a function of flow velocity through the impact filtering pad 26. The abscissa represents a measure of coalescence and the ordinate in FIG. 4 represents flow velocity. Three curves are shown in FIG. 4 for three different fiber diameters. The lowermost curve represents the relationship between coalescence and flow velocity for a filtering pad comprised of 0.001 inch diameter polyester fibers, the middle curve is for a pad comprised of 0.002 inch diameter monel wires; and the uppermost curve is for a pad comprised of 0.006 inch diameter monel wires. In this regard, these curves were generated using measured test data for lower flow velocities and impaction theory for higher flow velocities.
It is to be noted that impaction theory suggests that the capture efficiency for a given wire size increases with the square of the particle diameter. Therefore, in the absence of coalescence, the efficiency of captured droplets in the range of 10 to 13 microns would be greater than that in the 2 to 4 micron range. However, when coalescing occurs, some of the droplets in the 2 to 4 micron range are coalesced together and promoted to the 10 to 13 micron regime. This has the effect of improving the efficiency for the 2 to 4 micron droplets and lowering it for the 10 to 13 micron droplets. Therefore, the difference between the efficiencies for removing 10 to 13 micron particles and for removing 2 to 4 micron particles represents a measure of coalescence, i.e.:
η10-13μ -η2-4μ =Δη
where η10-13μ is the efficiency for removing particles in the 10-13 micron range; η2-4μ is the efficiency for removing particles in the 2-4 micron range; and Δη is the difference in such efficiencies and represents a measure of coalescence. This difference in efficiences accordingly constitutes a measure of coalescence for the impact filtering pad. Thus, for Δη greater than 0, no coalescence is occuring; however, if Δη is less than 0, then coalescence does occur.
FIG. 4 illustrates the flow velocities which must be attained to eliminate coalescence with pads comprised of 0.001 and 0.002 inch diameter fibers. For the 0.001 inch fiber pad, a flow velocity of 60 feet per second is needed, whereas for the 0.002 inch wire diameter pad only a flow velocity of 30 feet per second is required to eliminate coalescence. The 0.006 inch wire diameter pad never exhibits coalescence in the 2 to 13 micron range.
Generally speaking, a flow velocity of 60 feet per second, required by the 0.001 inch fiber diameter pad to eliminate coalescence, will lead to an unacceptably high pressure drop for marine gas turbine inlet separator applications. This wire size for the impact filtering pad thus represents a lower limit on fiber diameter size for the impact filtering pad 26. On the other hand, the 0.006 inch wire diameter pad, while it never exhibits coalescence in the 2 to 13 micron range, has a poor capture efficiency for smaller droplets and a higher pressure drop. Therefore, this wire size represents an upper limit on wire or fiber diameter size for moisture separator applications. In terms of the preferred embodiment in which the impact filtering pad 26 is comprised of 0.002 inch diameter wires, this presents an optimum choice since only a flow velocity on the order to 30 feet per second is required to eliminate coalescence. Owing to this relatively small wire size, the capture efficiency for small droplets are relatively high and the pressure drop across the filtering pad is relatively low.
Thus, it will be appreciated that for a given fiber size there is a minimum flow velocity above which no coalescence will occur. This realization is most important since the absence of coalescence allows the elimination of a third or additional stage downstream of the impact filtering pad 26. Further, it is the absence of this realization by any of the prior art which negates any suggestion in such prior art to use an impact filtering pad in accordance with the principles of the present invention in combination with an inertia separating device 14 for a moisture separator 10 for a gas turbine. In this regard, once the particular wire size is chosen so as to be in the desired range for providing a highly efficient pad for removing particles of all sizes, the size or cross sectional area of the pad 26 need only be chosen so as to provide a flow velocity above the predetermined limit for that particular chosen size of fibers so that no coalescence will occur, taking into considersation of course the mass flow velocity which is required for turbine operation.
In this regard, as has been noted hereinabove, the wire size for such an acceptable efficiency for particles of all ranges is preferably between 0.001 inches and 0.006 inches, and most preferably is 0.002 inches. The pad 26 is then constructed to provide a flow velocity greater than 20 feet per second and, according to the fiber diameter size which has been chosen, to insure the absence of coalescence during operation. For instance, if 0.002 inch diameter wires or fibers 30 are utilized for the impact filtering pad, the flow velocity should be greater than 30 feet per second. In terms of gas turbines for marine applications, such a flow velocity is acceptable to provide a relatively low pressure drop across the moisture separator 10. Consequently, for such an arrangement, a two stage moisture separator 10 may be utilized for efficiently removing particles from the air flow therethrough, and in particular moisture particles therefrom, without the need for additional separating stages downstream thereof.
It is to be noted that the closer that the diameter of each individual wire 30 is to 0.001 inch, the higher the required velocity to eliminate coalescence as the wire has a greater tendency to coalesce which, as noted above, is undesirable if the third stage of the prior art is to be eliminted. On the other hand, increasing the wire diameter to almost 0.006 inches tends to reduce the efficiency of the pad 26 to remove the particles from the air and further serves to increase the resistance to flow and thus, pressure drop across the pad. Accordingly, because of these competing considerations, it has been found preferable that the diameter of the fibers 30 be on the order of 0.002 inches. This will lead to acceptable ranges of flow velocity to eliminate or minimize coalescence while also providing an acceptable pressure drop.
Accordingly, it is seen that the two stage separating device 10 in accordance with the present invention results in significant advantages over the prior art. The efficiency for removing particles entrained in the air is maintained (if not increased) while reducing the number of stages that is necessary. This in turn results in a substantial savings in weight, cost, and size for the device 10. Furthermore, the air flow velocities through the air duct can be increased without increasing the pressure drop across the moisture separator 10, thus allowing for a still further reduction in size of the overall assembly and a reduction in the chances of coalescence.
While the present invention has been described mainly in the context or removing moisture particles entrained in air for the gas turbine for ships, it will of course be understood by persons skilled in the art, that the filter pad 26 of the present invention can also be used for removing other types of particles. For example, the pad 26 is also efficient for removing sand or salt crystals which may be entrained in the air.
Accordingly, there is disclosed herein an improved method for removing particles entrained in air, and in particular for removing moisture particles entrained therein. In accordance with the improved method, the air is initially passed through an inertia separating means 14 at a flow velocity greater than 20 feet per second. This flow velocity is chosen as such relatively high flow velocities provide for more efficiency of the inertia separating device 14 to separate particles from the air. The partially processed air from the inertia separating means 14 is then passed at a flow velocity greater than a predetermined flow velocity to an impact filtering pad 26 for removal of particles entrained in the partially processed air. The impact filtering pad 26 comprises at least one layer of a plurality of fibers 30, each of the fibers 30 having a diameter greater than 0.001 inches and less than 0.006 inches, and the ratio of total surface area of the fibers in the pad 26 to the volume of the pad 26 being greater than 45 ft.-1 and less than 1400 ft.-1. The predetermined flow velocity is greater than 20 feet per second and is chosen according to the diameter of the fibers 30 in the impact filtering pad 26 so that there is no coalescence of moisture particles captured by the impact separating pad 26. In this manner, further filtering stages or devices will not be required downstream of the impact filtering pad 26 for recapturing re-entrained particles. This is a result of the fact that there is an absence of coalescence which might otherwise cause captured particles to be promoted to a larger size which have a greater possibility of becoming re-entrained by the air flow passing through the impact filtering pad 26.
While the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, it will be understood that such is merely illustrative and that changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as claimed.

Stratton OberTal Condo.
Ski-in ski-out prime location, 'F' Building, at base of tamarack lift, 2nd floor with wonderful views of lift and skiers. Sunny, bright upscale decor. Walk to village restaurants and shops. Stratton sports center available for use with guest fee. One bedroom with kingsize bed, second bedroom with bunkbed, one bath. Fully equipped kitchen, fireplace, washer and dryer, mudroom. Beautiful year-round resort. Golf and tennis schools, horsebackriding, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, fall foliage. Close to the village of Manchester, Home to dozens of outlet stores.
The Condo was very clean and very neat. In spite of the lack of snow and closure of tamarack lift we could easily walk with our skis to the main area in two minutes. Wonderful to ski back to the condo for a lunch break! Beautiful gas fireplace! Very nice to be able to stroll down to the village for dinner at night. The condos location is truly perfect and is very nice and comfertable inside. The landlord is very responsive.
This is the perfect condo for a family with children. It is comfortable and appealing. The kids loved the bunk beds. It was perfect to sit in front of the fire after a day of skiing at Stratton. Location could not be better. Right on the mountain. The owner has provided all the supplies to make it a true home away from home. We plan on coming back.
What a great house. Not only was this house very clean, you can not ask for a better location. Look out the window as you sit on the couch by the fireplace and you seethe kiddies on the slope. Stand on the balcony and you can toss them a drink. My family of four rents several times a year and this is the best by far. Already booked another weekend this year and going to book next year already. Owner was great and prompt with any questions. Thanks !!! Pictures on website were just right.
Our family of four had a great 5 night stay here...it was so convenient to stay within a short distance of the lift, it enabled our son to ski all day with his friends and come home on his own. The condo was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The owner was very helpful in offering advice about our stay and responsive in answering all our questions. We enjoyed being able to watch the skiiers right outside our window and see the snowcats working at night on the mountain. Despite our rather snowless winter, the conditions this week were wonderful at Stratton! We hope to return soon.
Our family stayed in this condo over MLK weekend. It was very easy to ski right from the condo with our young children, because the Tamarack lift (novice runs) was right in front of the condo. The unit was very clean, and our kids loved the bunk room. The gas fireplace was wonderful and was much needed for the very cold weekend. When we needed something taken care of, the management company responded very quickly. The owner was also very easy to work with. We would definitely stay in this condo again. It is perfect for smaller families.
The condo is beautifully decorated and maintained. Its in a terrific location, soooo close to the slopes and the Tamarack lift . It has everything you need including flat screen TV and wifi internet service. The kids loved staying in the bunkroom. Its perfect for a small family. The owner is a pleasure . I would definitely rent here again.
Winter Summer Or Fall, Stratton has it all.

Skip to comments.Michelle Calls the Shots at Home
Posted on 11/10/2010 5:15:20 AM PST by FreeManDC
New Delhi: Michelle Obama is the boss at home - so what if husband and US President Barack Obama is the most powerful man in the world.
"When you and the president have a fight, who makes up," a student asked the US First Lady at the National Handicrafts and Handloom Museum in New Delhi.
"I always wait for the President to say sorry because I am a woman," Michelle Obama responded with a smile.
Narrating the exchange, museum chairperson Ruchira Ghosh added that Michelle Obama came across a figurine at the 'bhoota' (ritual art from Karnataka) gallery and said it reminded her of her husband.
Rediff.comTwitter NDTV Social Live Messenger Gmail Buzz Print
"A blue figure at the top of the citadel with ears sticking out from behind its head reminded the first lady of President Barack Obama," Ghosh said.
"The figure looks like Barack," the US First Lady was quoted as saying with a laugh.
The first lady interacted with a group of 14 underprivileged girls and students at the museum as part of a social initiative exchange.
Must be hard when he is too.
"I always wait for the President to say sorry because I am a woman," Who wears the pants?
"I always wait for the President to say sorry because I am a woman,"
Where is the LOGIC in this statement???????
So the linebacker has to tell herself she's a woman!
Oh please....There is no home. Grandma lives with them...He plays basketball and golfs and practices reading on his monitor...She doesn't do a damn thing.....well she dances the kabunga....and tells EVERYONE what to do. She's simply a monster. She may photograph well but there are too many real face shots...that say it all...
This is the mentality that is running the country. Woman, black, Moslem, there is a hierarchy of victims here, and everyone needs to kneel before someone who is a greater victim.
Old white men are so screwed.
I know she could whip his ass.
great, the worst of both our last two worst presidents. he's carter jr, she's hillary jr.
The wookie has her feeling hurt
It's Wookie Logic. (unrestrained fingers on keyboard)
Never trust a man who says he is the boss of his own house cuz he'll lie to you about other things too.
There is a fan club base for just that dontcha know.
Dang it That scared my Adorable Dachshund!
Cause he's a wimp.
Han Solo: "That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees have been known to do that."
Sorry. You saw the reaction from your Dachshund, can you imagine how Obozo reacts that that sound by now?
The absolutely amazing thing about this is how politically tone-deaf she is. While I'm sure she was just joking and engaging in light banter, she has to realize that making statements like this on a trip to Asia, which is being focused on by Muslims across the world, will make the president look weak. Most of the world—including India and many Asian countries—take statements like this seriously and she doesn't even realize it. That's why, despite how much the Left ridiculed Laura Bush for not saying anything, that really is the best policy for a political wife.
What a repulsive woman.
You are spot on. Great post.
I think leaders around the world have already taken their measure of Obama and view him as weak.
Michelle helps to reinforce this notion.
there fixed it.....
Ugly really is to the bone
BTW, Grandma raised one heck of a snotty angry entitled- feeling beyotch
Being (an angry black) first lady means never having to say you're sorry
It is true that in my house my husband says sorry first because I'm always right! (Just kidding honey— he's probably going to read this as he is out of town on business and reads free republic!)
moochelle is a dunce. She has no clue as to what she has said in jest. Is she not aware women's position in those countries?
I woul go all the way & say political spouses (remember Dennis Thatcher?). My mother is a pretty staunch Democrat, w/ some detours, but she has always been a fan of
Laura Bush...........she always handled herself w/ grace and dignity and she realized that it was not about her.I was proud of her for being my first lady, even though I did not vote for her husband.
Michelle Obama could learn some rules from her........
Was this woman raised by wolves?
MO could learn a lot of things from Laura Bush but she'll never be able to match her in grace and class (even if she had daily lessons).
Is it a faux pas for a "lady" to have her hand shook? Where as a woman of loose morals would be willing to shake?
I'm not sure what the culture issue is, would you please clarify?
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I'm passionate about my work and really goofy about everything else (if I got a dollar for every time a teacher in grade school got me in trouble for laughing in class... I'd probably have a solid $24.) I was born in California but lived in Boston my whole life. All of my family was born and raised in Lebanon.

great and addictive game

Fu**ing shit!
good game luv it
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
it was slow and take long time to play
Rated 4 / 5 stars
niiiiccceee but....
i didnt like the money factor i had to stop at round 13 because i couldnt get enough money to buy new units and increase skills
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I can't believe such a simple game is so addictive
After picking your army:
*manage troops
*pick next state to conquer
*repeat all above
-A tactical game without needing to be complicated in the least, and still offering fun and CHALLENGE. Other strategy games may be hard to understand at first, but this game you can immediately pick up on! Brilliant and simple. Each army has it's own unique fighting unit, while every army has the same basic fighting units. This levels the fighting out, and you can even train your troops up to be better. But, sometimes you feel completely hopeless, no way to earn money (required to train and buy more troops) but to fight, which is a bad concept because if you find yourself fighting the same people and losing each time just to earn more money, it is repetitive, frustrating, and boring.-
*Not explaining how to get the special move "charge" -2
*No way to earn money other than to fight. -1
This game is scored 7/10 and 4/5 from my view and opinion :)
