    摘要: Examples of methods and systems are disclosed. The systems may include an overshot including a tubular housing comprising a bore and configured to transfer a fluid flow through the bore. The overshot may also include a rotatable housing extending in a direction of a central axis of the tubular housing. The rotatable housing may be configured to receive the fluid flow and be driven by the fluid flow to have rotational motion about the central axis. The rotatable housing may be also configured to receive a fish and rotate and displace the fish towards the tubular housing. The overshot may further include a gripping mechanism disposed within the bore and configured to receive and engage with the rotated fish. The overshot may still further include a bearing disposed between the tubular housing and the rotatable housing and configured to decouple rotational motion of the rotatable housing and the tubular housing.

    摘要: Solar energy is concentrated and transferred to a heat transfer fluid, thereby heating the heat transfer fluid. The heat transfer fluid includes solid particles. Heat from the heat transfer fluid is used to melt a metal. While transferring heat to the furnace, at least a portion of the melted metal is oxidized to form steel. Heat is transferred from a first portion of the heat transfer fluid to a working fluid. The working fluid is then flowed through a turbine generator, which generates electrical power in response. A first water stream is electrolyzed using the electrical power generated by the turbine generator to produce a first oxygen stream and a first hydrogen stream. Heat is transferred from a second portion of the heat transfer fluid to a reactor that houses a recycling agent to thermochemically split a second water stream into a second oxygen stream and a second hydrogen stream.

    摘要: An electric submersible pump (ESP), comprising: an intake that suctions fluids into the ESP, wherein the fluids include a mixture of gas, water, and oil; a discharge that discharges the fluids from the ESP; an acoustic intake transducer that determines the speed of sound in the fluids suctioned into the ESP at the intake; and a first acoustic discharge transducer that determines the speed of sound in the fluids discharged from the ESP, wherein the speed of sound of the fluid at both intake and discharge is used to calculate a gas volume fraction difference of the multiphase fluid mixture across the intake and discharge of the pump, and wherein the gas volume fraction difference is used as feedback to control the ESP.

    摘要: Control of a circuit breaker in a high voltage power station includes a signal processing circuit housed in the circuit breaker local control cabinet and wired in series with the circuit breaker, the signal processing circuit to receive a continuous alternating current (AC) electrical signal; determine an anticipated zero-crossing from the continuous AC electrical signal based on a comparison of an average of an instantaneous value of the AC electrical signal with a corresponding value of a direct current (DC) component of the AC electrical signal; and send, to the circuit breaker, a permissive signal to operate the circuit breaker or a blocking signal to prevent operation of the circuit breaker based on the determination of the anticipated zero-crossing.

    摘要: A tractor assembly includes a toroidal shaped fluid filled membrane mounted over a body and a drive system coupled with the membrane. The drive system includes a helical flight that inverts the membrane when rotated against its inner surface. A mid-section of the body includes sleeve like portions that telescope with one another and shorten a length of the body. Fluid in the membrane is forced from the mid-section and radially expands a forward portion and into contact with an inner surface of the passage, so that when the membrane is inverted while in a passage, frictional contact between the membrane and inner surface of the passage creates a force that urges the tractor assembly through a passage.
