Hi all,
I have been working on tanker truck off-loading that handles diluent (flammable fluid). I have the following questions:
1. How do I make sure that the venting capabilities of the tanker (that we are off-loading from) are adequate? In other words, how can I determine the maximum...
I have a question that may lead to interesting discussions.
Can seismic acceleration lead to transient pressure fluctuations in a pressurized pipe? Any hint or insight could be useful.
Thanks.
Can anybody please explain
1. The pros and cons of using ASME vs. API for plate heat exchangers.
2. Which one shall be preferred for cooling water applications.
Hi all
1. Is formation of vortices (and air being sucked into) a general concern for positive displacement (PD) pumps?
2. If yes, how can the minimum submergence level be calculated? Can the equation available in HI 9.8-1998 Par.9.8.7.3 be used??
Thanks.
I am working on sizing the drain pipe of several tanks / pump boxes (for slurry applications). Depending on the size of this pipe, the drainage time of these tanks varies between a few minutes to a few hours. I wonder if there is a recommended range for the drainage time for such applications...
Hi all,
I have a problem where two open channel flows are merging into one. I have all the required information of the two inlet channels (i.e. dimension, flow depth, velocity, etc.) and am interested in obtaining the head and velocity of the outlet channel. Does anybody have any tips for a...
Hello all,
I would like to predict the sound power level inside a pipe with high velocities as well as 1 meter away from it. I will appreciate your useful comments and replies.
For your information, I searched and found the attached pdf. I used its equation for flow noise caused by turbulence...
Hello all,
My hydraulic analysis indicate that due to high available static heads, the water velocity in a relatively short (~50 m) 8" pipe occasionally reaches velocities as high as 15 - 20 m/s. My understanding is that such high velocities could lead to excessive noise, high erosion rates...
