It is the exhaust air temperature from a diesel engine. We are routing the exhaust under a portion of our machinery in order melt ice/frozen wood debris. Diesel manufacturer data shows exhaust temps of 950 deg. F. There are no fans in this system.
My specific problem is that we are going to be putting air through this boxed in area to keep wood particles from freezing to the top of the box. Ambient air temp as low as -40 C and inner air temp at 510 C. In that, "worst case" is actually "best case" in my case! Not sure if that points...
First off, I want to apologize for the elementary nature of this question. It has only been about 13 years since I did any heat transfer/thermo type calculations.
I have a boxed in area with a know inlet and outlet. I have a flow rate (in CFM) and temperature of the heated air entering this...
Please see attached pdf for app info. The area I have highlighted in pink is the area I am most concerned about the finish requirement. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=8591b024-b8d4-463e-883d-c938cec9fed7&file=View_for_Forum.pdf
Looked through a number of posts related to surface finish and fatigue life in shafts. I was unable to find the specific answer that I am after. Are there recommendations or suggestions for the surface finish to have on a shaft (transmitting up to 1200HP) to best function in fatigue? Are...
Do you know the syntax that references that setting? I guess that is all I am really looking for. I have already overwritten the out of the box ST3 draftlist with the one on our server (V19) so I don't have the base settings to work off of. IT is telling me the only way to get them back is to...
We are looking to make the move from V19 to ST3. I am in the process of piloting the draft templates and I cannot get the parts list to be locked to anchor. My draftlist file is V19, and which did not have a check box for "Enable Predefined Origin for Placement" on the General tab of the Parts...
I am working on a large piece of equipment which is mounted using 10 pads. I have the weight, and mounting dimensions. I know that any calculation is a best estimate, not 100% accurate, but I want to be as close as I can be. What is the best method to use to calculate the approximate loading...
I was wondering about the functionality of Workbench v9.0 or v10.0 on a 64-bit system? Looking to possibly improve Solid Edge performance with 64 bit system with 8 GB of RAM, but wonder the effects of compatibility with WB 9.0 or 10.0.
I know of the legal aspects of document retention, but I am looking for a discussion starting point. What are some specific document retention rules that you currently use as standard for your company? Especially as they relate to engineering change notices and calculations/analysis data...
Are there accepted industry standards concerning engineering document retention? This would include Engineering Change Notices, calculations, etc.
Thank you,

What are some test methods for leak testing fuel tanks. Our tanks are of a welded design, and I am looking for a method of testing them to find any leaks, including pinholes. Any input is greatly appreciated.
