    International Engineering Registration from the US

    Actually, I am not concerned with selection of a winning bidder. My firm has a niche market that we cater to and we have been selected by the clients to do the jobs. And, YES, we were selected because of engineering qualifications. I just want to make sure we have the proper licensing to...

    International Engineering Registration from the US

    My firm may have the opportunity to do a few projects internationally. Projects may include China, Russia, Niger, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Can anyone tell me if it is possible for a U.S. engineer to obtain any type of reciprocal agreement with any of these countries? Thanks and I look forward...

    Quiting and working for competition, ethical?

    I read the following somewhere recently: "If you enjoy what you do (I would also assume that means where you are doing it) then you will never have to work a day in your life." I have been very fortunate and only changed jobs one time while in the consulting business. When I decided to give...

    Katmar, Is m^3/sec the preferred HVAC airflow units in metric? During my searches on the internet and in ASHRAE the units I saw were liters/sec. Any assistance on preferred units for all metric HVAC and plumbing/piping flows, pressures and heat values would be apprciated. Once again...

    Equivalent Metric Sensible Heat Formula

    Can anybody out there help me with a metric equivalent to the old tried and true formula of: Q = 1.08 x CFM x delta T where: Q - Heat quantity (BTU/Hr) CFM - Cubic Feet per Minute Delta T - Change in temperature - Deg F Thanks in advance.

    Valves installed backwards

    The reason for installing the valve "backwards" is not for loss reductions, but for safety. If the globe and stem become damaged and seperated, or "fail", the valve will fail in the closed position, not the open position. This is the way I have been taught by my boss who designed steam systems...

    Automatic Drain Valve Selection Help

    I have a pressurized methane tank @ between 11 and 14 psig. The methane contains moisture which condenses during the compression process the same way moisture condenses during an air compressor cycle. I need to select an automatic drain valve for this application, BUT there is one small...

    question about the direc fired make up air unit

    As an engineer who has designed around the installation of hundreds of direct fired MUAUs over the past 15 years, I have experienced no problems with these units. The only installations for these designs, in my opinion, is industrial settings that will afford no possibilities of recirculation...

    calculation of a 100% outside air cooling load

    One other thing must be taken into account. If you are planning on using a packaged system (ie., rooftop unit), you must consult with the manufacturer. As a general rule, (at least according to my local reps) a packaged unit is only capable of accepting approximately 25-30% of the total...

    My company is easing toward 3-D design with Autodesk Building Services, which is based on Autocad Architectural Desktop. We are beginning to utilize 3-D in the architectural phases of design. I have been told that when you complete an architectural design in 3-D that you just a few steps away...

    Indoor pool HVAC Engineering

    If you are getting condensation on the walls, your RH is too high in the space, or the air is not being mixed properly to be destratified. Are most of the problems you see occuring in the winter or during the summer? Is the pool heated? (I would assume that it is, being in Denver.) The best...
