Typically all the work done by these type of machines is 100 percent converted to heat. However, the work done is rarely as much as the nameplate capacity of the machine. The actual work can be measured or calculated using some physics and some assumptions.
You appear to be using the terms leveling and alignment interchangeably. They are not the same thing. Leveling means alignment to the direction of gravity. Alignment means making the plates parallel to each other.
Sea water is not sterile, so why would you rinse with it? If you are using UV to sterilize the rinse water, your testing is showing that not to be effective.
Sounds like my first project out of school in a chemical plant. Replace several thousand feet of corroded 3" vent piping that ran the whole plant with new Kynar lined pipe. Just used a tape measure and isometric graph paper. I had to crawl though many crowded pipe racks. You, or your...
You also need to consider where the dried water goes. It appears that you are not using any heat. Is this inside or outside? You may be better off with a dehumidifier in a closed room with good hangers and your blower or fan to circulate air. At high humidity there is no drying, even with a lot...
Phenolics are condensation cure polymers, meaning that water is generated during cure. This water is usually trapped in the polymer after cure and acts as a plasticizer. An oven bake after cure should be done to allow this water to diffuse out of your part. This needs to be done with some care...
Enerpac uses NPT threads to connect their hydraulic rams to a multitude of fixtures and extensions. It is not unusual for NPT threads to be used for structural applications. For example, railings and floor flanges.
I recall having somewhat similar thoughts as a new graduate. F equal ma is fundamentally used to determine when the equations of statics applies. When nothing is accellerating, a is zero. Thus, F is zero. Which means all the forces must be exactly balanced. This concept seems trivial at first...
In addition, the zinc particles are for corrosion protection, not for conducting large current. Particles act as spacers between two flat surfaces. You certainly do not want to use something with carbon.
This thermocouple generates a low voltage current that can hold the main gas valve latched open after the pilot light has gotten it hot enough. Its only purpose is to delatch the gas valve to the closed position if the pilot light goes out. These thermopiles only cost about $10 and can be bought...
All self-priming centrifugal pumps have a large casing around the impeller that must be filled with water before they become self-priming. This allows the pump to pump air slowly by churning bubbles into the water. The bubbles separate by gravity in the casing on the discharge side of the...
