I am trying to determine the end of life oil flow requirements of an engine with the oil viscosity at minimum specification limit. I have the flow requirement data based on testing and calculations for end of life (all bearings at spec limit) for a nominal viscosity (14.7 cst) for 40w oil but am...
I am working on a marine diesel application that is using MAN B&W turbochargers. MAN has some pretty strict requirements for the moisture of the intake air. They require 100% of drops > 13 microns and 98% of drops > 5 microns. I am guessing that they are try to keep out salts and contaminants...

On a project I am working on, a concern has been rasied about the effects of zinc in Diesel Fuel or JP-5 would have on the fuel system and engine wear of our Diesel Generators (1+ MW). Some of the fuel storage tanks also can funtion as water balast tanks and have zinc anodes installed in them...
I am working on an application where 70/30 CuNi piping has been specified for JP5 delivery. The end user of the JP5 has carbon steel valves and connections that the CuNi piping has to mate up to. Are there any corrosion problems with the mating of these dissimilar metals and JP5?
I have read through the other wider is better post which was more dealing with lateral tire grip. My question is more dealing with straight line acceleration. Here is the scenario, same car so same load on the tire. Would there be a traction advantage to running a 315/35-17 drag radial, on an...
A supplier is specifying some pneumatic time delay valves to secure air for a pneumatic system I am working on. Not being too familiar with these valves, there is some concern of accuracy, cleanliness requirements, and life issues. For life I am more concerned with deterioration over time, than...
