Hello, all:
For those of you who are regular participants here and are retired, semi-retired or have some spare time, one of the best ways to give back some of your accumulated knowledge is to become an author and/or an editor on the Citizendium:

The following equation for calculating the Viscosity Blending Index (VBI) of heavy oils is often referred to as the Refutas method and I have seen it published in the technical literature in both of the forms below:
VBI = 14.534 × ln[ln(v + 0.8)] + 10.975
VBI = 14.534 × log[log(v + 0.8)] +...
Does anyone have a copy of ISO-10780 "Stationary Emissions - Measurement of Velocity and Volume Flow Rate of Gas in Ducts" ?? If you do:
(1) I believe the standard reference conditions for gas volumes in that standard is 20 °C (293 °K) and 101.325 kPa ... is that correct? Is there also a...
Does ASME have any standard reference conditions of temperature and pressure for expressing gas volumes? In one of their flowmeter test or design procedures? Or in any of their standards?
If they do have such conditions, what are they? And what is the title of the publication or standard or...

This should be useful to those of you involved with the environmental emissions from burning various fuels in power plants and other industrial plants. The data below were obtained by stoichiometric calculations.

Those of you whose work responsibilities include waatewater treatment will find this discusion of interest:
Any oxidizable material present in a natural waterway or in an industrial wastewater will be oxidized both by biochemical (bacterial) or chemical processes. The result is that the oxygen...

Perhaps some of you will find this useful. Here are the governing relationships for the makeup flow rate, the evaporation and windage losses, the draw-off rate, and the concentration cycles in an evaporative cooling tower system:
M = Make-up water in gal/min
C = Circulating water in gal/min...
I am somewhat confused. I thought the name of this thread was "Heat Transfer & Thermodynamics engineering". However, it contains threads about the noise level of apartment air-conditioners, fixing a stress corroded cracked spiral, sootblower controls, de-icing a wind girder, etc. ... none of...
