2013 at the new Cooper Union Engineeringbuilding at 41 Cooper Sq. (7th Street and 3rdAvenue) in downtown Manhattan. This annualmeeting has evolved into a Metropolitan Sectiontradition and we eagerly look forward to hostingan ASME President every year. As usual, ourPresident did not disappoint us and gave ourmembers an excellent presentation on the subjectof "the seeds of opportunity and innovation."

After a delicious repast and enthusiasticnetworking session the attendees were called toorder by Edward G Ecock, P.E., Met Section’sProgram committee chair who introduced ASME's131st president for the 2012 - 2013 activities year- Mark W Goldsmith, P.E. Mr. Goldsmith hasbeen an active member of ASME for more than25 years and has served on the Board ofGovernors, as Vice President of the Board forPublic Information, Chair of the task force onstrategic marketing, and as a member of theBoard for Minorities and Women. He is an ASME


Fellow and received our society’s dedicatedservice award in 2001. He is also the founderand Chair of ASME's Innovative TechnologiesInstitute.

Mr. Goldsmith is a widely respected expert innuclear engineering and all aspects of energygeneration transmission, distribution and retailservice, and has also served as a consultant onthese subjects. His consulting firm, MarkGoldsmith and Associates LLC, is located inNewtown, Massachusetts and advises electricand gas organizations on such subjects asbusiness policy and procedures and energytechnology in general. Prior to this he served asVice President at Stone & Webster and at ArthurD. Little, where he served as director oftechnology and innovation, and served as co-founder and President of the Massachusettsbased Energy Research Group Inc.

Mr. Goldsmith is a graduate of the New YorkState Maritime College at Fort Schuyler, Bronx,New York, with a bachelors degree in MarineNuclear Science. He also attended theMassachusetts Institute of technology where heearned a master of science degree in nuclearengineering as well as the title nuclear engineer.He is a member of the Association of EnergyEngineers, the American Nuclear Society, theinternational Association of Energy Economists,the IEEE, and as a member of board of directorsof the Engineers Without Borders organization.

Mr. Goldsmith began his presentation by quotingour societies motto "ASME setting the standard"and stating his term serving as the society'spresident for the past 11 months has been thebusiest time in his career with ASME. Hereminded his audience that now is a great time tobe an engineer with almost unlimitedopportunities to participate in fundamentaltechnical changes, worldwide urban expansion,basic infrastructure needs and development of aninterdependent world increasingly requiring globalharmony. Responding to these opportunitiesrequires a new type of multidiscipline engineer, atype of engineer that ASME strives to foster.

During the 131 years of its existence, ASME hasevolved into the preeminent internationalorganization promoting engineering standardscovering such vital innovations as elevators,escalators, electric power generation, clean waterproduction, aircraft, space vehicles and nuclearenergy. However, the 21st century requires anew type of ASME response to the new Era'schallenges. The society’s programs includeemphasis on energy issues, engineeringinnovation, natural resources development,expansion of workforce opportunities andincreased partnership with global entities such asUNESCO for example.

Mark W Goldsmith, P.E


Particularly speaking, energy issues worldwideare the fulcrum around which all other programsrevolve. ASME's future policy on energy willinclude programs for increased energy literacymore emphasis on sustainability, safety, riskmanagement, improved margins of safety andpromotion of public trust in its codes andstandards. Just consider the scope of ASME'sefforts in this regard. For example, there are nowabout 1400 different types of concrete eachrequiring different definitive composition andusage guidelines. Consider also our agingnuclear facilities such as the nearby Indian Pointpower plant were equipment operator lifetimevaries from 60 to 80 years. Applications forlicense renewal will become a major public issuein the next several years. For all these loomingproblems ASME is fortunate to have its codes andstandards programs staffed by more than 5000volunteer engineering, school faculty andindustrial employed engineers working

cooperatively to improve our guidelines forengineering efficiency, reliability and safety.

Mr. Goldsmith next presented ASME’s programfor workforce development officially entitled Vision2030 this program will include increasedworldwide contacts with engineering communitiespromotion of "Design's Spine" education coursesfor all grades K to 12 in schools, advanced STEMeducation in all curriculums, promote designcompetitions, mentoring among students andprovide explanations of ASME standards to allengineers. Mr. Goldsmith then asked thequestions of why there are no celebratoryengineers such as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, twofamous technical schools dropouts who haveinternational reputations for innovations andwealth creation. The answer Mr. Goldsmith saidis that trained engineers routinely work in teamswhich encourage cooperative efforts anddiscourage individual or go it alone initiatives.

Mr. Goldsmith then proceeded to enumerateASME's forward vision for the 21st century. Thisincludes such items as organizational structurechanges bringing the societies finances incompliance with domestic and internationalregulations, more transparent definitions of ourmembers career paths, more diversity among ourmembership and redesign of our society’sobjectives in response to increasing internationalresponsibilities. One important aspect of thesevision goals is the need to create an internationalconsolidated bank account that is necessary tosatisfy government regulations and protect ourdesignation as a 501-C3 nonprofit organization.All ASME divisions and sections are required toparticipate in these procedures by May 31, 2013.


Mr. Goldsmith continued his presentation bysummarizing in detail ASME’s pathways 2025program of "Game Changes" required to achieveour society's goals. Including in this program aresuch features as assuming a world leadershiprole in engineering development, increasedsociety to coordination with business initiatives inagreement with our society objectives, fosteringdisciplined management throughout ourorganization without limiting of members freedomof action. Our members legitimate interests willalways be paramount in society activities byproviding open access to society leadership at alltimes, by expanding online communicationopportunities for all members, by providingprocedures for responding to our members’expectations and by increasing our efforts todiversify member recruitment, particularly amongwomen.

Mr. Goldsmith concluded his formal presentationby directing his audience's attention to the worldthat existed in the year 1904. Average human lifeexpectancy that year was 31. It is now 70+worldwide. What is responsible for this enormouschange? The answer is the scientific andengineering advances making health careuniversally available. This vastly improved healthcare has been based on the development of cleanwater supplies, electric power generation,distribution and the elimination of horse drawntransportation by motorized vehicles and rapidtransit facilities among other advances all ofwhich were based on engineering innovationspromoted by the ASME in cooperation with othergroups. ASME can be enormously proud of itsrecord contributions to the future mankind.

Mr. Goldsmith then invited his audience to askany and all questions about ASME activities.The first issue was the content of the mechanicalengineering school subject matter. Oneoutspoken member of the audience stronglyendorsed the traditional curriculum of mechanics,statics, dynamics, physics and chemistry etc. Mr.Goldsmith respectfully disagreed and advocated

an emphasis on multidisciplinary subjects as theonly way to prepare future engineers for the ever-changing future world. When questioned aboutthe society's position on mandatory licensing forengineers, he stated that ASME is opposedbecause no consensus exists among itsmembers. He stated that ASME stronglysupports current government proposals for storingthe nuclear waste generated from World War II tothe present, but admitted the issue was a seriousproblem which cannot be ignored. As ASME hasno official position on the proposed immigrationlegislation now being considered by Congress,but agreed it should address the issue anddevelop a society viewpoint. He remarked thatengineering education United States is the best inthe world as evidenced by the number of foreignstudents studying in our schools, for example thelarge contingents from China, India anddeveloping countries. He stated that currentlyemployers complain that engineering schoolgraduates are not capable of fully practicing theirchosen profession and advocated much fordesign and project training in the curriculum. Healso called for a substantial increase in researchand development funding from industry andgovernment as urgently needed. He advocatedmore ASME cooperation with other societiesrather than just with like-minded engineeringgroups he stated that ASME should emphasizeleadership training among its members andinclude both introverted and extrovertedpersonnel of all types it it's programs.

Mr. Goldsmith's presentation was very impressiveand metropolitan section extends our thanks forhis meeting with us at the historic Cooper Union.Unfortunately, attendance was somewhat limiteddue to the fact that many engineering studentswere unavailable because of summertime workand vacations. Hopefully this modest summarywill provide an interesting and stimulating agendafor a ASME's future and maintain students activeparticipation in our societies very challengingfuture.


Great job Mr. President. We look forward toworking with you too advance the achievementsof ASME throughout the world now and forever!

Cyclones!

Article Prepared By Gerard Hillenbrand, P.E

Cyclones!

That was the interesting subject of the MetSection’s Technical Dinner Meeting on Thursday,April 18, 2013 held in Cooper Union's new,award-winning engineering building on 3rdAvenue, between 6th and 7th streets in downtownManhattan. The subject "Cyclones" are not thetype frequently blamed for widely feared naturaldisasters but, rather, they're processing devicesprimarily employed for gas particulate separationapplications in industry. The guest speaker onthe subject was William Heumann, founder andCEO of the Heumann Environmental organizationof Louisville, Kentucky, a firm widely admired forits expertise in dust collection and pollution

control. Licenced professional engineersattending this lecture qualified for earning onehour of professional development credit towardcomplying with their continuing educationrequirements as mandated by the New York StateDepartment of Education.

After an enthusiastic networking session withdelicious refreshments, the attendees were calledto order by Edward G Ecock, PE, Met Section’sChair of Programs, who welcomed all guests andproceeded to introduce the meeting speaker. Mr.Heumann is a graduate of University of Louisvillewith a bachelors of science degree inoceanography. He has published many technicalpapers and articles covering the subject ofparticle separation for gases and fluids. Mr.Heumann began this profusely illustrated lectureby describing how cyclones employ the principles

of kinetic energy to separate particles inside acontainer. In its elementary configuration, a

William Heumann


cyclone container receives a tangentially injectedfluid and channels this fluid into an inverted U-flow pattern which expels clear fluid out the top ofthe container and collects the separated particlesat the bottom. In normal operation no filters areemployed and gravity has no effect onperformance. The tangentially injected fluidcauses it to flow and rotate about the U-shapedflow axis creating a vortex and rotate about the U-shaped flow axis creating a vortex or whirlpoolinside the container, thereby enhancing theseparation process.

The design of the cyclone container and operationof the flow patterns are studied and continuallyvaried and tested to optimize cycloneperformance. Some of the factors determiningoperational efficiency include residence time offluid inside container, pressure drop variationswithin the flow patterns, the design of the vortexbreaker elements to provide reverse flow insidethe container to create a so-called double vortex,and variations in the designs of the fluid inlet.Tests have resulted in designs of the cyclonecontainer providing maximum tangential velocityin the center of the unit along with maximum axialvelocity and minimum static pressure, allcontribute to efficiency of operation.

Fluid inlet designs can be varied to achievemaximum unit performance. For example, fluidinlet can be the tangential type previouslydescribed as well as axial flow input and suchsophisticated designs as involute and partialinvolute shapes. Multiple or successive flowcyclones can be connected in series or parallelarrangements, or combinations of both. Anexample of just such an arrangement is theregeneration cycle used in gasoline manufactureand refining where operating temperatures can beas high as 1300°F. Such cycles employ cyclonesbecause they are relatively low-cost, offerequipment requiring no movable parts, robust inoperation with maximum safety, and capable ofsevere duty performance at 500 psi and 2000°Fmaximum, with relatively low installation costs.

The objective of achieving maximum pressuredrop in cyclone design is dependent on a complex

relationship among such factors as powerconsumption, fluid flow rate, fluid density, andparticle characteristics. For example, pressuredrop is increased with additional powerconsumption, but decreases with increasing dustloads. Efficiency of collection is decreased withincreasing particle sizes. Fluid frictional lossescan vary between 10 to 30% particularly at fluidentrances. Increasing cycling efficiency is alsodependent on such factors as fluid viscosity, inletconfiguration and design, outlet pipe and dustreceiver design, and residence time of fluids inthe container.

Size of the cyclone container also affectsperformance. For example, large containersprovide high fluid residence time, whereas smallercontainers provide less residence time. Testshave shown that smaller containers tend to bemore efficient and series connected cyclones alsotend toward increased efficiency. Centrifugalforces inside the container can be increased byproviding increased inlet tangential velocity, thusindicating that inlet design should be optimized formaximum efficiency. Also performance can beaffected by such factors as outlet pipe line anddust receiver design. Increasing the fluidentrance profile will increase the fluid pressuredrop but also cause more erosion inside thecontainer and re-entrainment of the separatedparticles into the fluid. Increased inlet velocitycan produce objectionable acoustical noise withsound levels as high as 110 dB.

Occasionally cyclones can fail in performance dueto excessive leakage, unexpected wear, faultycomponents such as plugs restricting exit of thecollected particles, and poor design of thecontainer itself or its connections. However,many cyclone installations and applications havebeen successful. Consider, for example, thepopular super suction vacuum cleaner utilizing aninverted cyclone to provide optimal cleaning. Alsothe use of a commercial cyclone installations toreplace bag houses in coal-fired power plants,thereby providing commercially desirableelectricity generation.


The question and answer period was equallyinformative. Mr. Heumann describes theexpanding use of cyclones in combination withprecipitators. In bag house application 50 to 70%of the cyclone installations are directed towardsincinerating applications. International use ofcyclones are also expanding for example,Chinese industry prominently employ cyclones inproducing refined and purified gasolines.

At the conclusion of his very detailed andimpressive technical presentation, Mr. Heumannthanks Cooper Union and the Met Section forhosting the seminar and providing the opportunityfor learning how and why cyclones perform sowell, they're multifaceted uses and even theirlimitations. This seminar featured a very detailedslide presentation illustrating the results of thecontinuing development and testing of all types ofcyclone installations and applications. Alsoincluded were impressive pictures of cycloneusage sites and many of the very extensive andcomplex industrial units successfully operating.Also shown were the extensive test resultsdepicted in graphical format for the cyclonesparticle separation applications. The highlytechnical aspects of the cyclone performancewere also emphasized. For example, the seminarincluded an equation for calculating the operatingpressure drop for maximum results and includingsuch factors as fluid flow rate and fluid density

ratios and coupled with an experimentallydetermined exponent for the flow rate ratio. Testresults show that this exponent may vary from 1.9to 2.3 depending on the type and construction ofthe cyclone undergoing analysis.

Before concluding Mr. Heumann invited allattendees to exchange business cards so thatthey can keep in touch and exchangeopportunities for more extensive applications ofcyclones. Many attendees took advantage of thesuggestion. Excellent job, Mr. Heumann! Yourorganization should thrive in the present andfuture industrial environment.

Benefit Spotlight: Volunteer & Make a Difference

The 2013-2014 Membership year started on Oct. 1, and there are still a few loyal ASME members who have not yet renewed theirmembership. If you haven’t already done so, please take a moment to complete your renewal so that you continue to receive allthe great benefits we chat about each month here in Member Savvy. Don’t forget to ask your company’s HR department if theysupport professional society memberships by reimbursing your annual dues. Remind them that ASME Membership is good for

your professional development and great for their bottom line!

***Dear Members,

My goal for Member Savvy each month is to share one aspect of ASME membership that provides value to you and areturn on your annual dues investment. I believe the ROI is obvious with technical benefits like ME Magazine, ASMEWorkSmartSM and SmartBrief. However, there are some benefits that offer the greatest value of all – the personalsatisfaction and professional benefits of volunteering and giving back to your profession.

ASME offers many ways for you to volunteer and get involved. You can share your time, your muscle, your mind, oryour wisdom -- or all four! ASME has a number of ways for you to “give back” to the engineering profession, a few ofwhich I’ll share with you right now. Trust me -- the more you give back, the more you get back, and the more valueyou’ll receive from your membership:

• Codes & Standards Committees – Lend your expertise and work with the world’s best and brightestmechanical engineers on some of today’s greatest technical advancements and most challenging problems.You’ll be contributing to a consensus process to develop the best codes and standards, making the worldsafer for all. All levels of experience are encouraged to take part.

• ASME.org – Participate in an existing online group or create your own group based on a specific engineeringdiscipline, your interests, or even your university alumni. You manage group participation, content, tools, andactivities. The rich suite of ASME.org functionalities makes it easy for you to lead and grow your own group.It’s a great opportunity to network, collaborate, and showcase your leadership skills to like-minded engineers.

• Your Local Section or Technical Division – Expand your professional network, get access to the “hidden” jobmarket, and work on programs and services with friends and colleagues specific to your chosen discipline orat the local grassroots level.

• Engineering for Change (E4C) -- an initiative that will connect people facing quality-of-life challenges (e.g.clean water, sanitation, housing, energy) in local, under-served communities in the U.S. and around the world... with engineers who have the willingness to volunteer -- but little time to travel to remote locations -- andthe know-how to develop appropriate engineering solutions. E4C's website is in the beta testing stage, butyou can learn more and keep up-to-date by visiting www.engineeringforchange.org.

• Mentoring - Get matched with one or more ME students or early career engineers, and work with them one-on-one. You will be directly helping someone with engineering or career related issues, imparting yourknowledge & experience to a new generation of mechanical engineers.

There are so many more opportunities to volunteer with ASME. Check out the volunteer resource pages to learnmore. The goal for your legacy should be to make a lasting difference in the world. ASME is here to help you createyour legacy and achieve that goal. Volunteer today!
