Hello Forum members,
Does anybody have experience with horizontal centrifugal pumps for condensate service in a Combined Cycle Power Plant utilizing an Air Cooled Condenser?
This is really a rare design and I would like to know if someone has experience with it and how it works out.
Thanks...
Hi everybody,
I moved to a new company and they are still getting started with Engineering work. They want me to help them in predicting the size of a piping job so that they can budget it accurately (to a certain acceptable extent). Unfortunately, my experience is limited and did not get a...
Hi there,
I would like to know if anybody has any experience with FRP Tanks and if there is a simple method for determining or calculating the flexibility factors (axial, bending, and torsional) for FRP tank nozzles, because WRC-107/297 is inapplicable, since WRC-107/297 was based on the...

I have a very interesting problem I need your help on. I'll try to make it as short as possible.
While stress analyzing the Main Steam and Cold Reheat lines for a 650 MW plant, I proposed to relocate the HP-Bypass valve away from the turbine (by about 14 [m]/45 [ft]) because...
Hello everyone,
I would like to get clarifications for a few things in Appendix II of the ASME B31.1 Code:
1. When determining P1 (see Section para II-2.2.1, (A.1)) at the discharge elbow, what are the "a" and "b" factors in the equation?
2. Why does P1a = P1(P/P*)? Is P* the critical...
I am a junior engineer and would appreciate if somebody would explain what is the "Shallow Shell Theory" which is the basis for Bijlaard's work in building the Local Stress curves for Spherical and Cylindrical Shells and which was later adopted by the WRC?
Thanks
