    Steel corrosion in standard air

    I'm not 100% sure I well understand the concept of sacrifical anode... someone could help me? I'm using an all-steel linear bearing in a room where occur standard conditions of air temperature and humidity. In this case, the corrosion of the track is not happening really quickly, but after many...

    Diaphragm pump calculation for sizing

    Hi everyones, When I'm sizing a centrifugal pump for an hydraulic system, I'm looking for a pump for which the head rise at requested flow will meet the sum of suction loss and discharge loss at the same flow (assuming I'm pumping fluid from/to reservoirs opened to atmosphere, at same level)...

    Compressed air pressure drop

    My problem is going as follow: an existing equipment is supplied with compressed air through a 24ft long flexible hose with an I.D. of 0.31". 20 SCFM at a minimum of 15 PSIG is currently required. Now, a modification to this equipment will increase the flow requirement to 28 SCFM. I want to...

    Flow Coefficient for fluid other than water

    I'm currently doing pump sizing calculation, so I have to determine the total pressure loss of my piping system. Most of commercial components like ball valves, check valves, strainers, etc. have experimental data from suppliers indicating the flow coefficient (Cv) for water at 60degF. If I want...

    Joukowski formula in rubber hose (water hammer)

    I would like to evaluate theoretically the pressure rise occuring during a water hammer effect in a piping circuit which includes high-pressure blended rubber hoses. Joukowski formula is based uppon Young modulus of the pipe material, but how to evaluate this variable with a composite "pipe"...

    Transient Vibration (Water Hammer???)

    I have a transient vibration problem on a test cell using a hydraulic dynamometer. An upstream pump is supplying 80 PSI of water pressure to a 4" I.D. pipe, which is controlled by a valve. Downstream the valve, 18 feet of (about) staight piping lead to an absorber dyno. When the valve is slowly...

    High Speed Motor (26,000 RPM -- 20HP)

    I'm looking for a high speed electric motor (probably brushless DC) to supply up to 20HP at 26,000 RPM. It is a non-continuous application (periods of 5 minutes only). I will need to control the motor with a drive to accurately fix output RPM at different values for engineering testing purpose...

    Flexure Plates for Turbine Test Rig

    I'm looking for suppliers (or engineering cues to design by myself) a set of 4 flexure plates that must support a turbofan engine and its adapter structure (approx. weight 8,000 lbf). These plates act as flexure hinges in order to transfert axial thrust to a load cell, but must support rigidly...

    Looking for freewheel clutch

    I'm looking for any kind of freewheel clutch system that would fit inside thoses dimensions : inside diameter = 35 mm outside diameter = 52 mm total length = 25 mm (including seals on both sides) The system must be able to support a small radial load (about 200 lbf) and to transmit a torque of...
