My husband left his previous job without a new one being lined up. (I won't state the reasons, but Employment Insurance found his claim and reason for quitting valid, and not...
I feel very conflicted lately, and am interested in any viewpoints/suggestions that would assist me in dealing with my current work situation.
I work in a specialized multi-disciplined field of engineering, where alot of the senior staff has retired or moved on. In the last 5 years, I've gone...
Hi All,
I am looking at the preliminary line route for a new transmsision line, and there is a large building that may be subject to induced voltage due to its proximity to the ROW. I want to calculate the expected induced current to determine if it will be within allowable limits.
I've done...
Hello,
Quick question as I'm a mechanical engineer having trouble understanding a drawing.
The drawing is for the detail plan and elevation of a retaining wall, and it keeps noting "CJ El". I'm assuming this references a certain point/elevation, but I'm having trouble finding the original "CJ"...
Hello all!
(Apologies if this is a repeat topic, but it wasn't on the first page so I'm hoping it's safe.)
If you are a chronic overachiever, how to do deal with the stress that almost always seems to result?

I work for a large, publicly owned company. At a recent event for "young professionals", a speaker recommended that we "never spend mroe than 5-7 years in any job". The speaker was once an engineer, but has now moved "up" in the company through design, project management, etc to a full time...
Hello,
Can anyone provide a reference document that would contain the equation for calculating the Aluminum Stress on a combo Steel-Aluminum Conductor?

I'm looking for Schedule 10 or Schedule 40 316 SS FLANGED fittings, specifically 6", 8", and 10" tees and elbows, for a demineralized water system with a system design pressure of 230 psi.
Do such fittings exist? I know welded flanges and valves exist, but I have not seen fittings. Am I limited...
I am designing a piping system for plate and frame system pressure.
The system includes Type 316 SS pipe in diameters up to 10", and a design pressure of 230 psi.
I once had a reference book that gave limitations for using slip on flanges, but unforunately it's at my former work location. Can...
After receiving a price quote for (water) piping, I noticed that weldolets were priced cheaper than tees. However, (to my knowledge) tees are simpler to install on a (new) system than weldolets.
Therefore my question is a rather general one of whether it is ever useful/worthwhile to install a...
I am designing a piping layout to replace the existing piping for dimineralized water heat exchangers. I need to connect the demin water inlet and outlet headers to allow the heat exchangers to be bypassed, however the elevations of the two headers are different by just over 1".
I have seen...
