    Kinematics - force analysis

    Looks a lot like homework to me :) Regards Mike

    General Flange Design.

    You're welcome of course. Maybe this idea is useful to you: Consider a section thru the pipe wall at any arbitrary distance from a capped end. The end force is acting to separate the wall either side of the section. This force is resisted by the wall itself.

    General Flange Design.

    No. Pressure acts in all directions. Is the end force not acting to separate the flange pair?

    Capt Steeeve has a pretty good vid on recovering black box data. At least I thought so :)

    General Flange Design.

    So, your system is open to the atmosphere? Then by all means disregard hydrostatic end force, there isn't any. But every pressure system of any use is not open to atmosphere. Regards Mike

    Just watched the latest Maximus Av video on the water leak. I don't know how credible the guy is but he does not know the meaning of "potable water'. See 2:37 in the vid.

    "It was the FADEC". That's not saying much of anything, you ask me ;)

    TEMA DEU/CEU Heat Exchanger - Connection Challenges & Analysis

    A clarification: A diaphram closure does not typically use a gasket. The diaphram is seal welded to the channel flange. That is why the cover is beveled as shown. Partial bolting is installed. Weld as accessible, move the bolting, repeat till completed. Regards Mike

    Site Format

    Cleared cache & browsing data, seems to have fixed it. That was weird, I was in the middle of posting a reply when the format just flipped from one to the other...

    Site Format

    Apparently peculiar to my phone then? Very cumbersome and annoying. Can any one suggest corrective measures? I have (I believe) cleared cookies. TIA

    Site Format

    While interacting w the site from my Android phone earlier today the site format changed to desktop format. Just me, or has anybody else seen that?

    Wind Load

    Curious. What does the public use it for?

    The problem just wanted an adequate application of OPM :)
