Our client is asking us to put expansion joints on the suction of all pumps in the thermal power plant that we are designing and building. pneumatic, centrifigal, everything.
What defines the need of expansion joints in these pumps? I imagine anywhere where there is heat or vibration, but at...
Hi everybody,
We are building a thermal powerplant in Peru, where many oily-water drainage system is underground.
It has been suggested to us that all these tubes be double walled because they are always double walled in power plants in the US.
I understand that this is good engineering...
Hi all,
I am writing a specification for a "Steam and Water Analyzing System (SWAS)" and want to know what are the codes and standards that govern the construction and testing of a steam and water analyzing system (SWAS)?
How do you define the MDMT (minimum design metal temperature)?
What ambient temperture do you need to be able to define it?absolute minimum? average minimum?
If i have an absolute minimum of 3.9ºF (-15.6ºC), what would the MDMT.
please help me here, i'm dying with this mess!
I know this seems to be a very easy question, but if i knew the answer, i wouldn't be asking, please forgive me for being so naive.
I understand that WBT is so critical in cooling processes, that we have begun to question how we define the DESIGN WBT.
WBT is not difficult to design, but what...
I'm looking for quick reference price for a water bath indirect heater. I just need a quick ballpark price for a standard design. Design data is as follows:
Design Pressure: 1040 PSIG
Operation Pressure: 878 PSIG
Design Temperature: 127 oF
Operation Temperature: 77 oF
Fluid: Fuel gas 0.6...
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to place my question, but there is a connection, you'll see.
Really, i don't know a whole lot about air dryers, but i do know is that they release heat while they are working.
I want to know how to calculate that heat, or where i can get a referencial...
This question is really a series of smaller questions, all realating to a system of 2- 100% gas compressors.
1. What is the possibility of having 2- 100% gas compressor, and when one goes down, the other reacts immediately.
2. What operating conditions would the stand-by need to have to react...
How do I determine the space between indepentant cooling tower cells? Is there a standarized space? What are the limiting factors? If there is not standardized space, how do i calculate it?
The following information describes the cooling tower in question.
7 independant cells

Ok, from what i understand in water treatment (in this case in a power generation plant) there are at least two priliminary purification methods: "Water clarification" and "Water filtration"
I imagine that with a certain number of dissolved or suspended solids, water clarification is required...
In the US and Canada, after a certain number of years of experience, can a technologist become a registered professional engineer?
If so, how many years of experience is requiered?
Just i quick question, i would like opinions.
I have 3 IDENTICAL centrifugal pumps running in parallel. The only difference is in the driver; 2 have 30HP electric motors, the other has a 40 HP electric motor.The rated(required) power is 25.3 HP each.
Does anyone see a problem in this...
What happens if the centrifugal pump driver is much greater than the required HP.
For example ,the rated(required) power for the centrifigal pump is 25HP, and the actual driver has 50 HP. What is the result?
I am writing a specification for a condenser tube cleaning system (taprogge is a major manufacturer like kleenex to tissue paper) , which is relativly new to me.
Does anybody have any idea as to which standards i should sight that might offer relative guidance on these types of systems?
