    Rubber pad mount bolt torque value

    I seem to be having a fine time calculating bolts tightening torque value for the following situation: A 1000 lbs rectangular box sits on two rubber pads of 1" thick and 4" wide x 18" long at the ends of box. There are (4) 1/2" bolts (2 each end) that need to be tightened, but the max allowed...

    Pressure loss - miter cut pipe or tube

    Hi there! I am at loss, need helpful hints. I need to calculate pressure loss thru a 30" ID formed tubing miter cut and welded together to form a 45° & a 90° elbows. 90° has two miter cuts. 30" leg length. Looking at Crane data book I see that for alpha=45° =15fT, and for alpha=90° K=60fT. OK...

    Chiller & electric cooling ton-hour

    Hi all, If I have this Co-Gen unit that can generate enough hot water to power a 600 ton absorbtion chiller and the system runs about 8000 hours a year, then what would equivalent "ton-hours" of electric cooling be? I am guessing it would be 600 * 8000 = 4,800,000 ton-hour of electric cooling...

    Gas engine backfire

    Hello everyone. Is there an easy way to calculate 22" exhaust pipe internal pressure caused by a backfire after the turbo? Let's say the fuel is digester gas with 60% methane. The system is a gas engine/generator set rated 2100 KW. Thanks in advance!
