    EU Imported high pressure machinery what directives apply in Texas?

    Ladies and gentlemen, We're looking into importing an European high pressure machinery for Nitrogen and carbon dioxide for use in medical/pharma industry. The machines are CE approved for the European market but could these machines be used in Texas without modifications? As far as I know the...

    CO2 evaporation from a tank simulation in excel (dynamic)

    Hi, I'm trying to make a dynamic (time dependent) model in excel of The pressure and temperature (liquid phase) in a tank during a constant volume gas outtake and a constant heat flow into the tank. At t0 the tank contains both liquid CO2 and gaseous CO2. Temp=10 deg C and pressure 51 Bar (1) At...

    implications of choked flow, supersonic velocities

    Dear all, I've read numerous posts where choked flow and supersonic velocities are discussed. Although, What I can't find is any information on is WHAT PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS AND the magnitude of problems this may cause (chock waves, noise etc)? In a case where there are two reservoirs for...

    Energy consumption distillation - rule of thumb?

    Is there a simplifyed formula that can be used to esitmate the energy consumption of distillation of a binary mixture? Maybe a factor times the heat of vaporization? Looking forward to your answers Merry X-mas

    How to use liquid nitrogen in S&T heat exchanger

    Another approach: Use gaseous N2 to cool the water in a heat ex. Use liquid N2 to directl cool recycled gasous N2 to desired temp. Although I would go for direct cooling with N2 into the water as suggested above is it's possible.

    Constuction of simple mist elimination unit

    ash9144, thanks for your tips, but I can't really find much using the search word you suggested. Is there another common name for this type of separator? /A

    Constuction of simple mist elimination unit

    Thank you for you quick rely and good example! I my case we can do much about the diameter in this step. It turns out (using the Brown-S eq.) that i have a gas velocity 2-3 times greater the the maximum velocity in the B-S eq. WIll a demister be of any use in this case? DOesn anybody have...

    Constuction of simple mist elimination unit

    Hi, We have a problem with salted water/organic solvent in a inert gas stream. The mist most be eliminated prior to the compressor. We've a gas flow rate of max 230 liters/minute and to start of simple we would like to pass it though a vertical pipe (inside diameter of 80mm) containing a...

    vaccum pumping+bernoulli's eq

    In laboratories, there is a common “vacuum suction” thing (looks like a “T” working on the principle that tap water moving past a junction (T-junction) don’t know the name for it) will case a low pressure due to the high velocity (Bernoulli’s eq). This I can understand intuitionally, but with...

    multi variate question (DOE)!

    Hi! I received a large quantity of data from one of my students. The variables (factors) are the final concentration in a bulk solution. Components A or B are mixed with different ratios of x or y or z... Water is also used 0 or 0,1% A and B are present at 0,4 or 0,8 % when added into the bulk...

    stresses on bolts

    hi! I can apply constraints and loads as BC. FOr the "walls of the bolt" I´ve constrained them in the normal direction since it won´t be able to deform in this direction (at least I think so). FOr the internal shell wall I´ve set the load in the normal direction the the reactor pressure. Since...

    stresses on bolts

    i´m quite new to this and I´m using femlab. What do you mean by tie connection?

    required material around bolts

    Thanks for the answers! Prex: This reactor is for personal learning use only and as you problably already have figured out by the means of the construction, it´s not for commercial use! The reactor will be calculated upon and results minimum results of bolts, thickness etc will be compared...

    stresses on bolts

    IN a thick walled cylindical reactor subjec to an internal pressure, a flat lid will be attached with 8 bolts. I would like to calculate the stresses/Strains in the shell, especially radially outside the bolts in the shell in order to understand where to place the bolts and how much shell wall...
