Try high density polyethylene with the thermal conductivity in the range of 0.42-0.51 W/mK. The material have got very good physical properties and can be easily machined.

In the case of the evaporative cooler, the air will loose sensible heat to the water which will be equal to the gain moisture contents (or humidity) from the water. The untimate potential of the air passing through the cooler is to have the dry bulb temperature at the outlet equal to the web...

Hello Guys, Well, i am working on project involving the connecting the wind farm with the electrical grid system. As my background is in mechanical system so i need some help with the component know as "static VAR compensator". I am particularly looking at the information related to the...

I was thinking you might get some decrease in the temperature of the compressed air by cooling the compressor cylinders using forced convection air flow. This can decrease the temperaure and thus extent of the cooling required for the compressed outlet gas from the cylinder.

hi tbedford, Thats actually very interesting idea and had been brought to practical use by number of laptop models in the past. However, there are number of limitation encountered in that design, the primemost limitation is the thermal resistance that is encountered at the hinge (heat pipe to...

Thanks Guys for your replies, BigInch, you are right acoustics is actually one of the major concern in the design of any thermal control system, You see whatever cooling means we device using two phase cooling or single phase cooling, in the end we have to dissipate the heat to the atmosphere...

Hello Guys, I would like to invite discussion on the current problems that we are facing in the cooing of the microprocessor for the laptops/desktop computers. The number of microprocessors in the computer and their heat dissipating tendency is increasing year by year according to the...

Ultra High Weight Polyethylene is a good thermoplastic for low temperature applications.

use simple gas law PVT=P1V1T1 PVT is the standard atmospheric conditions P1 - pressure due to column of water i.e. density of water x height of the water column x 9.8 (gravity) Let say the T=T1 then use can easily find the final compressed volume. You are right if you compress the given...

Did you give a try to Ultrasonic leak detector? they are quite handy, we have use them for the air leak detection, not sure about the hydrogen leak detection. May be check with one of the supplier.

Well, if you use darcy law of diffusion thorough the porous structure to calculate the flow rate of the diesel through the buried pipe. Hopefully it will give you valid approach and better results. See the below link for detail: http://biosystems.okstate.edu/darcy/LaLoi/basics.htm

you need to be specific about what kind of system you are talking about. Normally, the best way to make a system leakproof is to perform a proper vacuum test on it i.e. to maintain the system under vacuum for specific period of time. If there is any leak, you can find the leakage location by...

We had use these heat exchanger without any substantial problems. Actually, with stagnant flow or very low flow rates for highly saturated salt mixture sometime deposition of the salt takes place in these tubes but it is very easy to clear the pipes by periodic increasing the flow. As i said...
