Unfortunately this is not my field so I can't answer your question. Not even make an engineering gues since I don't even know what a "gland seal" is. Not to mention HRSGs.
But you should also try Engine & turbine engineering forum since there may be some more gurus not visiting this site...
It probably depends on how large flow of polyethylene pellets you need.
Assume, just for the sake of discussion, that those pellets can reach velocity of 0.4 m/s in free fall (very light material, high aerodynamic losses, have you ever seen a chicken's feather falling). In that case volumetric...
The proper procedure in aerospace industry is to get approval from independent, accredited (ISO 900X approved) source.
They install their master TCs (of known accuracy, supposedly high) in your furnace, covering the working space (e.g. 10 TCs for 1 cu.ft. or per some ASTM spec if there is one)...
This paper states the same reference you are asking for:

It is correct that AFFDL stands for Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory but it doesn’t necessarily mean that all AFFDL...
This is not so simple. I imagine that you have to include a lot of effects if high calculation accuracy is required. Wind is only one of them probably important during initial phase of flight only. Lets say until first stage rocket separation. You may probably assume constant speed of let...
Pressure in gasses is considered an indicator of potential energy, a kind of specific potential energy, if I may say so.
If there is a vessel, V capacity (volume), containing a gas under pressure P (gauge pressure) its potential energy due to pressure difference to ambient pressure is:
Ep =...
Gas turbines (GT) are used on modern tanks. They have been used on some locomotives and trucks but never a steam turbine (ST) has been used (except maybe for some experimental purposes). They are used only on large ships as well as gas turbines on smaller battle ships. Obviously size of a...
You are right that a hot wire anemometer would be better than a pitot in this case. But +/-0.1m/s accuracy could be a little bit too much I believe. It is exactly at the best assuracy limit of +/-2% (see http://www.topac.com/anemometer.html)
Not quite sure that I understand the problem but I would like to state a couple of notorious facts for any incompressible flow:
1) Power (which is energy "flow" i.e. energy supplied per unit of time) equals:
Q*p (volumetric flow multiplied by pressure)
2) Temperature change is...
Sir 25362 Chemical hasn't taken into account that we "dumb" mechanical engineers need a strate forward explanation.
Percentage clearance means that a relative clearance is used in that equation (I assume). If my interpretation is correct than:
If a clearance is 1mm and cylinder bore...
In a "Search" window-field (at the top) type "plate+heat
+exchanger" than in the next window to it select "Search Posts (Keyword)" and press GO. You are going to be amazed how many threads exist.
For example thread391-62988 was rather educational for me.
Well my wild gues would bre second or two. But if it was operated by me it would be more than that. I like smooth shifting so it would be at least double.
The point of my answer is not to give you an useful, reliable data (because I don't know it) but to bring your query on the top again...
Probably the most of the members (like me) are not quite sure what you had in mind when you mentioned cyclone. That is why there are no answers.
If you are stil interested to hear other's opinions please tell us a little bit more about that cyclon of yours. Or perhaps you should post the...
