Flow Stream

The hydrodynamics of isothermal, one-dimensional gas-solids suspension is theoretically analyzed. A computational model is developed. The model is applied in predicting the pressure drop distribution in air-sandstone mixture flows through a vertical annular space (simulating the flow stream between a bore hole and a drill pipe). The model can be applied to any isothermal, one-dimensional flow of gas-solid suspension. The numerical results are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data collected from studies done on drilled cutting carrying capacity of air in air-drilling operations.

6061 Aluminium Alloy

The use of aluminium alloy in the manufacturing industry has increased tremendously in the past decade mainly in the areas of aeronautics and automobiles. The ease of machinability of this material makes it a more desirable operand in manufacturing usage. Hence, in this research, a study was undertaken to perform a comparative analysis of dry and cold air drilling on 6061 aluminium alloy. The drill tool used in the drilling process was HSS Cobalt coated tool which has not featured in many research papers. Subsequently, the quality of each hole was identified based on the diameter accuracy of the hole and the surface roughness of the hole. A variation in the parameters was employed to identify the best feed rate and spindle speed that can accommodate a quality hole. In addition, during the drilling operations, force was measured to analyse the ensemble of parameters that present the highest and lowest force. Based on the data collected, an analysis was performed to identify the best quality hole. The force measured for cold air drilling was relatively lower than those measured in dry drilling primarily when high feed rate of 80 mm/min and high speed of 6000 rpm is used. The surface roughness and hole diameter does not differ much between cold air and dry drilling. Therefore, it is highly recommended that feed rate of 80 mm/min coupled with a spindle speed of 6000 rpm be used for drilling operations with a 5mm diameter tool.

The Stability

In this paper, I discuss the theory behind the use of a dense, concentrated neutron particle-based beam. I look at the particle based physics behind such a beam, when it is focused against solid material matter. Although this idea is still only theoretical, it appears that such a beam may be capable of disrupting the stability of the atoms within solid matter- in some cases by passing great volumes of neutrons between the electron and nucleus thus effectively “shielding” the electron from the charge of the nucleus. In other cases, by disrupting the nucleus by firing neutrons into it, disrupting the nucleus and weakening its bond on electrons. In either case- the resulting effect would be a disruption of the atom, which in the case of material matter would cause said material matter to fail, which would appear to the observer as liquification with some plasma generation. Thus, a dense neutron particle based beam could be used to effectively liquefy material matter. Such a beam could bore through rock, metal, or even thick, military grade armour, like that used on tanks- causing such materials to rapidly liquefy. The denser and thicker the neutron beam, the more devastating the effect of the beam- thus the faster material matter will liquefy and the greater the area of liquification. Such a beam would have applications in Defence, mining and drilling operations.
