Design Of A High Pressure Fluid Intensifier, James Andrew Kwiatkowski Jan 1973

Design Of A High Pressure Fluid Intensifier, James Andrew Kwiatkowski

Masters Theses

"In this thesis the design of the major components of a high pressure intensifier is presented. The machine is a high pressure fluid intensifier which can develop an intermittent water jet of .01112 inches in diameter at a pressure of 100,000 psi and a flow rate of .9508 gpm. This machine can be used to study the capabilities of high pressure water jets to cut high compressive strength rocks.

The primary machine elements of the intensifier system are the source, charging system, valve system, nozzle, and the intensifier. The source will be a Kobe Triplex Pump having a variable output …
