    Pressure Thrust into a larger chamber..

    Hi, If I have a pipe connecting to a 750mm diameter vacuum chamber via an unrestrained 500 mm diameter bellows, can someone confirm that the thrust pressure that would work to collapse the bellows under vacuum would be based on the diameter of the bellows and not the chamber? I am pretty sure...

    Working with Matrices in MathCad

    Hi, Hoping someone here can help.. I have a equation, say: P=(q*t^a)/S I want to vary P with t and I would like to populate the first column of an array with t values, say 1..75 (range variable) and then populate the second column with P assuming q, a and S are static. Then I would want to...

    Minimum sample size

    Hi, If I have, say, 250 components and they may or may not have defects bigger than a specification I built up from some empirical evidence on the subject, how do I work out how many components ( hopefully less than 50) I need to scan for defect sizes in order to statistically validate my...

    Anyone know of a Fire Electro/Pneumatic Cuttoff (fusible link?)?

    Hi all, I have a gate valve that I am testing in order to use it as a fire damper. The valve is air open/air close but it will also close under gravity thus the loss of pneumatic pressure, totally or to the Open connection, would (slowly)close the valve. I have to electrically link the damper...

    Monte Carlo Simulation now available

    I am letting people have a look at a little spreadsheet I have concocted to do critical path simulation or project costing simulations within excel to gauge wether it is worth doing in a 'proper' programme.. All instructions are included.. See what you think.. www.jimstemple.com/mcsim.zip...

    Looping along the top row.

    I wish to use VBA to insert a column of random numbers into a spreadsheet using the Data Analysis Add in - Random Number Generator. My problem is that the macro for the random number generation requires the cell refernce in which to start the column of numbers. Syntax: Application.Run...

    Monte Carlo Simulation

    Hi all of you out there.. I am currently inverstigating putting together a little spreadsheet in Excel or similar that will do Monte Carlo simulation's for projects. This means that you find the critical path of the project and input ideal, optimistic and pessimistic duration for each task...

    Running a macro/code when Excel starts..

    Dear all, I wish to run a piece of VBA code every time Excel starts.. E.g. - objExcel()_OnStart CODE I know this is the incorrect syntax/form/etc, anyone got any better ideas?? All I want to do is delete some values and formatting every time the program comes up.. Thanks
