what are the best options for joining things to body panels?
I've got an aluminum body panel that i'd like to attach a few brackets to the b-side w/o any exposed fasteners or read thru to the a-side. it could be supporting up to ~10lb and would see some good vibration and wind load. first...
anyone have any pointers for sourcing variable thickness glass (or any durable transparent material). having a need for a couple pieces roughly around 1' x 6' in size and variable thickness of ~1/4" at top and increasing to ~1" at bottom. It'll need to be durable, comparable to automotive side...
I am considering if a wind generator can provide me enough amperage.
I have a graph of the annual energy production that shows the annual output in kWHr, and am a little confused in what that means (ie kWHr/year or average kWHr??) the values are 0-4000.
The bottom line is that I know that I...
Can someone please help me or refer me to a good resource. I would like to know more about the 'n value' used for gas mixtures to calculate physical properties for a mixture of gases.
I would specifically like to know how to get it and the equations it is used in. I have been searching for a...
I HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING THE APPLICATION OF CONSTANT SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND CONSTANT HEAT FLUX. AND WAS HOPING SOMEONE CAN DUMB IT DOWN FOR ME.
FOR AIR COOLED HEAT EXCHANGERS THE INTERNAL HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT'S NUSSELT NUMBER VALUE FOR THE LAMINAR REGIME DEPENDS ON BEING EITHER...
Does anyone know where I can find a saturation table for co2 for temperatures above 304.128 K. Everyone I find ends at this temperature. I know its CO2's critical temp but I am going to use it at a pressure less than its critical pressure.
Can anyone help.
I've seen the correlation of
(hydrualic horsepower) = (total head)x(flow rate)/(constant)
I want to set up a system in which it is important to maintain a constant flow rate but with a varying total head. but does the above equation mean that if I have a certain hp pump then the flow rate...
I was looking at a water/vapor table and I noticed something interesting and am curious if anyone can give me a good explanation why.
That is when you increase the pressure of liquid water and you approach the critical point the density of the liquid decreases. It seems weird to me that when...
I am going to setup an experiment to test pressure drops of a heat exchanger and am a little niave in this area. I am going to have two buckets open to atmosphere with the liquid going through the heat exchanger. the first bucket has the hot liquid going in while the second bucket has that...
I have a large galvanized steel bucket and I want to tap the bottom side so the fluid in the bucket can be poured out via 1/2 inch pvc pipe.
I was hoping to get some advice on what would be the best/easiest way of doing this with standard parts?
I am studying a design for test engine facility and would like help and inputs on the charge air cooling system.
The heat load was given as 150Kw and that is about it. I am wondering if there is a standard temperature drop used charge air in engines and if the air is typically compressed at...
I cannot seem to find fluid properties (density, spec heat, therm cond, or viscosity) for a 50/50 mixture of polypropylene glycol/water mixture.
I am going to need the fluid properties for this mixture across a range of temps, (100-300F).
If anyone knows a good source where i might find this...
I was always wondering something and hoped someone in hear had an answer...
Why do they set up power lines above ground on those elevated power line poles as opposed to burying them underground.
To me its seems more logical to run them underground, you dont have to buy all of those large...
For some reason I cannot find any tables on the properties of gas propane and have spent way to long looking.
Can anyone can refer me to a good site that gives properties of gas propane (density, viscosity, thermal conductivity and specific heat) at atmospheric pressure over a range of...
I am using an electric heating element to heat up some SAE 10 hydraulic oil. Someone warned me to be carefull about the watt density of heating element, that is if the liquid is too dense or viscous you can actually overheat and ruin the electric heating element.
does anyone have any experience...
I was wondering if anyone could refer me to a good equation or reference that calculates the pressure drop in a tube header.
the tube header is a simple tube with both ends capped off and an inlet on the top left with a large diameter feeding into many smaller circuits on the right with small...
I have a question about steam flow...
I have recieved specs from a steam turbine generator that the steam leaving it is at 4000 lb/hr. To find the velocity I simply divide by its density and the cross sectional area.
This steam is then going to be condensed to water. It seems that the mass...
