    pipes equivalence in fatigue tests

    Hi there ! hope everything is fine ! Please, I am contacting you for following issue. In the past I have utilized a pipe of copper having diameter D and thickness t. It has been under a vibrational fatigue test and has passed the test. I have then changed the pipe. The new one has got a...

    Free Cooling

    Hi I think that still one equation is missing since there are three unknowns Unknown: 1 - t cold outlet 2 - t hot outlet 3 - capacity available equations 1 - Q = m*c*(tin-tout) (for water) 2 - Q = UA*LMTD It seems one equation is missing since it can't be utilized the one similar to 1...

    affinity laws, axial fan

    Dear all, Hope somebody can help me to clairfy this topic. I have seen some threads about this topic, but none of them is answering my next question. I have measured the air flow, rpm and absorbed power of a three phase axial fan at two different fan speed – delta and star connection. I will...

    Ag content in brazing alloys

    Hello, first of all I'd like to thank you for all the kind answers to present mail. Concerning your questions: to Mr gtaw - we are speaking about a butt brazing to Mr Duwe6 I agree with what you write. An hypothetical argumentation can be: may the less content of Ag help the wetting ability of...

    Run Around Coils

    Hello, many thanks. It is a first step ahead, but if you see there are some restrictions. As you can see, the coils row number is always limited to 8. In this case one degree of freedom in the system is eliminated. Many thanks

    Ag content in brazing alloys

    Hi there, I am facing to the input of lowering the Ag content in brazing alloys for big diameter copper tubes in order to save money. I decided to realize some burst tests on two different tubes (diameter of 3ft, three of them brazed with low Ag content and three brazed with standard alloy)...
