Maybe one way to do it, is to flagg each component with AI against these different categories and a chemical database. If a single gas is flagged as "toxic" and then an entered gas mixture includes this component, regardless of vol%, this mixture gets flagged as toxic since a toxic component is...

Well, as I said - I am looking for official definitions of these characteristics to... define them! Is inflammable and flammable the same thing? I don't think so, in many data sheets it is differentiated but without a clear definition, it is not easy to argue either way... I can probably not...

Sometimes a gas mixture is described as inert, flammable, lethal, explosive, corrosive, inflammable, sour, toxic or oxidizing. Perhaps even more descriptions exist... I am working on a system where gas mixtures are regularly entered and I want to find a method to automatically, via python...

@georgeverghese there is only a recycle line with a FCV to control the flow to downstream operations. But this line is not fully sized intentionally to handle the full flow, i.e. 100% recycle. Seems like they forgot about testing purposes. :-) @pierreick That reference is a joke and it...

Can the pulsations create a pressure thrust motion in the unrestrained expansion joints that acts on the blower flanges?

...different positions on and around the blower. It is clear that all clear peaks are att 88,5 Hz (4 X RPM) which is the pocket passing frequency (rpm*4/60=1327.5*4/60=88,5 Hz). Meaning pressure pulsations. The readings at 4 X RPM occur most clear on the seal house around the drive shaft...

Continue to run now with Hydrogen (88% H2 and 12% N2). Expansion joints are tweaked a bit, seems like no difference... Here are some logs from tonight playing with rpms and pressure settings: Unfortunately the system doesn't have a proper recycle line, hence it is a bit difficult to set the...

Flexible 500 mm spacer coupling between motor and blower. I think we might be on to something. We stopped the test cycle last night to perform hot alignment and once the bolts holding the blowers 4 foots was loosened, the blower was moved sideways by itself by the expansion joint. Inlet and...

Hello, Have some problems with a roots blower. Twelve inch gears, 762 mm long bi-lobes. Horizontal gas flow. Operating with a 80% hydrogen mixture. Inlet about 0,6 barg / 30 deg C Outlet about 1 barg / <70 deg C Machine max. allowable speed as per the OEM is 1800 rpm. The blower is driven by...

Hello, I came across something that I believe is a bearing load diagram, if not please correct me: How shall I read it and can someone explain the meaning of the numbers pointing in different directions?

Hello, If you have a range of various models of roots blowers, what is the path to be able to predict sound level at various operating points for each machine in the range? Is full testing and noise measuring of each rpm and pressure point the only way to go or is it possible to determine the...

Hello, Over the years, I have participated in a number of tenders for the supply of rotating machinery to various EPC contractors pretty much all over the world. Nowadays, machinery noise level seems more important than ever. I guess mainly due to more stringent regulatory requirements pushing...

Yeah rocket science. [glasses] You don't have a paper to determine the critical temperature, critical pressure and acentric factor for a gas mixture?

Where do I find pseudo components and what is that?

...Is it in a similar way as for how I would determine the molecular weight of my mix gas, meaning: I take the value for each component and property * % of composition and then I sum it up and divide it by 100? Example for accentric factor (O2 50%, N2 30% and Argon 20%): O2 0,02 N2 0,037 Ar 0...

Good morning, This is becoming to abstract for my level of understanding. Mainly I need K-value, Molecular weight and Z compressibility factor as input variables to my other calculations. As I already have the Z compressibility factor in my volume/mass flow calculations, I am unsure of if/why...

@Pierreick you are wearing me down :-) I have understood that my calculations are based on the ideal gas law. Is 1 bar A and 20 C the definition of all ideal gases or why are you saying that this is the assumption of my calculations? I am confused because of this T in the Cp equation: I...

@Pierreick I have a parameter to adjust the temperature, T is a variable in the equation I use. I can't adjust the pressure with my current equation. When you say 1 bar is that 1 bar absolute pressure? How or why do you know it is at 1 bar? I made this comparison of Methane between ChemCAD...

@IRstuff, thanks! Ok guys, tonight there is a smile on my face. Finally the Cp, Cv and K calculations work as intended: Now I just need to adjust the few lines which requires eqn. 2 and 3. Then I should have fairly good values for Cp, Cv and K for all 231 substances in my database. Which...

...above equation with c1, c2, c3, c4 and c5? I am starting to think that perhaps the formula was correct but that the constants was the problem: C1 * 1E-05 = 0,333*0,00001 = 0,00000333 C2 * 1E-05 = 0,7993*0,00001 = 0,000007993 C3 * 1E-03 = 2,0869*0,001 = 0,0020869 C4 * 1E-05 = 0,416*0,00001 =...
