Rascal: I used to deal with tube fittings all the time and I don't recall them as being threaded. But in order to know what size fitting to go with a given size tube I think we always referred to the manufacturers catalogue or just tried them all out. You might look in some of the catalogues...
Neil: that's correct; once you have reached saturation pressure the vapor pressure of the fluid exactly equals the atmospheric pressure. As to temperature that will not change untill all the available fluid has vaporized, then the temperature will continue to rise. For any given Temp. or Press...
Sean: The question that really needs to be answered here before you can correctly choose your insulator is how much heat transfer can your system ie. heating head tolerate. Thermal conductivity is measured in kW/m*degC or Btu/hr*ft*degF. I looked up Cilica Brick and found that at 392 degF it...
I'm not familiar with Izod Sharpy but I've seen the impact tests used by Volvo to test out their dummies. Typically they use a heavy cylinder suspended at the midpoint from a hanging rod. The cylinder is swung back to a certain height and then let free to impact the test object. The kinetic...
Vorissi: I would have thought that such a prop would be made of stainless steel. However brittleness, durability, and ability to resist rusting are undoubtedly factors in the choice of brass. Prob technology is well understood and I would imagine that such information would be available at any...
pcurry: I'll look through my books on this and see what I can come up with; however if you or I can't come up with any data on this it would seem to me that you might try using a nozzle of known loss value and then compare vacuum pressures to assess the losses of the unknown nozzle. The other...
Nitro: The standard tables for air (nitrogen) don't go down to -65 deg F. However I noticed that they appeared fairly linear and made the assumption that they could be exprapolated down the necessary 25 deg's. Here are some of my results;
Q=0.1833 cft/sec...
drax: It's rather surprising that your vessel hasn't exploded or that you haven't experienced incredible shock; 4,500 amps is enough current to give even the most jaded GE Nuclear engineer pause. At any rate assuming that the vessel was filled to the 2/3 level at atmospheric conditions your...
The moody chart assumes that the flow is along the axis of the pipe. You undoubtedly are interested to know how to apply the chart in the instance when say water is flowing down the drain and as a result of coriolis forces "swirls". However I don't see any real reason why you can't...
Yes; it would appear that assuming the temperature of the water bath is kept constant and the approximate dimensions of your ingots are such that the bootom face lenghth is twice the width and the hight is 4x said width, and the ingots are pure aluminum, then your cooling time; to bring the...
