    Selective Catalytic Reduction

    Hello, Has anyone worked with selective catalytic reduction equipment for reducing exhaust NOx? I'm looking at an application that will be using low speed propulsion engines and possibly high-speed diesel generating sets with a urea system and SCRs. Fuel will be low-sulphur (1% or less) so...

    Engine Performance Curves

    I'm looking at a series of diesel engine performance curves for a Cat 3516C marine propulsion engine. There are several curves shown. What is meant by Zone 1 Curve 1, Zone 2 Curve 2, Zone 3 Curve 3, Max Limit Curve 4, and Prop Demand Curve P?

    Exhaust gas properties

    I'm working on a calculation of diesel exhaust system back pressure and was wondering if there were any values for gas densities and viscosity? Or are the properties for air at exhaust temperatures close enough?

    Quick depletion of anodes

    We have an Air Conditioning Chiller condenser that is cooled by seawater. We operate in the middle east so seawater inlet temperatures are routinely 35C and so the flow is pretty high (200 m3/hr). The problem we are having is that the zinc anodes inside are depleting really quickly and we've...

    Cat C9 cooling

    I want to set up a Caterpillar C9 engine with keel cooling (on a ship). Looking at the drawings of the engine it looks like there is an HT circuit (water in 2.5" dia., water out 2.5" dia.) and an aftercooler circuit...but the drawing only shows "Seawater Inlet 2" dia." Does anyone know the...

    Software Recommendation

    Does anyone have any recommendations for piping system modelling software? I have heard of Pipe-Flo from Engineered Software and Fathom from Applied Flow Technology but I have never used any so I am looking for advice on what to purchase. Thanks

    Size limit for self-priming?

    I'm considering using a 90,000 gpm pump for pumping out a tailings pond. It has a suction diameter of 1 metre or more. Is it possible to get pumps like this to be self-priming?

    engine head construction

    I recently replaced the cracked head of my Saturn. I had not taken a good look at it before. It looks like it is made of aluminum styrofoam - lots of little beads all brazed together. Does anyone know what manufacturing process this is and how do they make it?

    heating with hot water

    I have trouble bending my mind around what I suspect is a very simple problem. We have a space that is being heated with a hot water circuit. It has already been calculated that to keep it at 10C when the outside temperature is -10C, there is a loss of 100kW to the outside air. So, I realize...
