    Help with Pump Flow; not what I expect

    Hello all and thank you for viewing my question. We have a pump which drives a closed system of water in a 180 Degree loop to deliver hot water to various heat exchangers. The system runs in a 24 hour/day static mode and was quantified with the following measured values: Output Pressure = 59...

    Substation Transformer best choice 10 MVA 4160v to 69KV wye

    Hello all, We are making an interconnect application for a 7.5MW, three phase synch generator which outputs 4160vac. Our interconnect is to a rural coop line which is 69KV. The coop has requested that we specify a 10,000 KVA substation transformer which will make a 4160v Delta - 69KV Wye...

    Excitation, Governor and Power Stabilizing System Diagram?

    Hello all and thanks for your review. We have applied for a utility interconnect which will use a 3.5MVA 3 phase synchronous generator, driven by a steam turbine. A oneline diagram depicting the disconnects and protections was supplied and approved. A follow up request for our application is...

    logo artwork in cad mold tooling

    We have a IGS cad file for a plastic cover plate component to be injection mold mfg. We also have a jpg file for logo artwork which we would like as an expression (positive) image on the plastic component. The jpg is black and white. Where the image is black, we would like raised on the...

    Residential Power Plant Regulations

    Does anyone here know of Federal Regulations regarding the installation and operation of a small scale residential off grid steam driven powerplant? Aside from the building permits and design codes for pressure vessels, etc. I am trying to specifically learn about the existance or nonexistance...

    Vane Material Identification

    Can anyone give me a best estimate on what material is used to fabricate the pneumatic air motor vane, shown in the photo attached? As can be seen, it has a slight orange color and appears to be slightly fiberous. I would like to find a material source and understand how to mold and/or machine...

    Machinable Material with low thermal conductivity

    Is there a cost effective material alternative to aluminium which is machinable, but has a low thermal conductivity. Currently prototyped a component machined from a hardened block of JB Weld. It would be an advantage to purchase a material which is already in block form and could stand up to...

    1 kw 120v ac generator mfg source

    Maybe I have lost my google search mojo. I am looking for sources to purchase ~ 1 kw ac 120 volt generator, not a genset. I already have a shaft which spins at 3600 rpm and can spare ~ 2 hp to run the generator. I am having no luck finding a source for just the generator head which I can...

    Rotating Connection to 700 Deg F Pipe

    I have a fixed 1 1/8" O.D. pipe which ranges in temp from ambient to a peak of 700 Deg F. I need to attach a component to the pipe which must be thermally isolated from the pipe and can freely rotate about the pipe, like a wheel about an axle. Is there a high temp, thermally non conduction...

    Energy Loss from Regulator

    If I have a canister of compressed air, at To and 300 bar, and expanded it through an ideal turbine to 1 bar, (into the atmosphere), like discharging a capacitor, the energy produced would be Eo. If I placed a 6 bar regulator on to the same canister at To and 300 bar, then fed the output at 6...

    Solid State Ignition Coil Operation?

    I had to replace an ignition coil on my vehicle and realized for a six cylinder engine, only three ignition coils are uses, wherein the connection diagram has each end of the secondary going to a separate spark plug. To me this implies that both plugs will fire at the same time, using the...

    JB Weld to Build up Aluminium?

    I have an Aluminum component which was machined for me and in testing, found to have one surface that has too much material removed. The area is 1" wide with a slight curve... The curve is too deep. I was advised that JB Weld could be applied, then remachine the area to the correct profile...

    Fuel Injector to Paint Ball Cannon

    Am building a science project with my son, and our intent is to use a filled dive tank as source for compressed gas, to make a paint ball cannon. Our hope is to use an automobile direct fuel injector as a solenoid controlled valve that can be purchase at an auto parts store. I can not locate...

    How do you input a Geometric function into a CAD system

    I have a math function which defines a geometric shape, that I wish to input to TurboCad for download into my CNC, to ultimately cut the pattern. I can not figure out how to input a 2D object which is defined by a formula, aside from the ones already defined. As in, a circle is r(sqr) = x(sqr)...

    Heat Flow for Isothermal Compression

    The work (W) required per unit mass to compress Isothermally an ideal gas from a low pressure P1 to a higher pressure P2 is shown as: W=RTLn(P2/P1) It is my understanding that this equation represents the absolute work referenced to a pressure of 0 and that if P1 is greater than ambient Pa...
