    Thermal Loop Heat Transfer

    Hello, I am reviving this thread because I am examining another aspect of this problem. As a check, I am trying to calculate the amount of heat generated by engine. Can I think of this using the same governing equation as the heat exchanger, except that the delta T is across the engine? So...

    Measuring airflow into large electrical enclosure

    I had solved this problem similarly to the other poster's suggestions by using a hot wire anemometer. You may want to consider building a wind tunnel as well to smooth out the airflow to get better readings if you expect there will be turbulence at the point of measurement. This article may...

    Thermal Loop Heat Transfer

    It does run all the time but unfortunately, we have to in order to simulate real world use. The right side loop is intended to simulate a customer loop and we cannot control when they active their system. This is right at the engine outlet and just before the 3 way valve. This valve does not...

    Thermal Loop Heat Transfer

    I apologize, I made a slight error here... The valve is not set to be fully open at 185 F. Saying it was fully open at 185 F is my mistake. 185 F is the valve control temperature, around which the valve should be partially open. Here is more detailed and correct information on the valve...180...

    Thermal Loop Heat Transfer

    Thank you MintJulep and LittleInch for the replies. This is not something I deal with often so I'm probably confused with my principles somewhere. Agree, and I should have mentioned that the left radiator is vertical and that a small amount of heat is lost with the fan off. Though I have...

    Thermal Loop Heat Transfer

    Hello, I have two fluid loops filled with the same coolant mixutre that are circulating in opposite directions. On the left side, there is an engine that is supplying heat to the coolant loop. Immediately after the engine outlet, there is a thermostatic 3 way valve that is diverting 100% of the...

    Does this GPM/Flow Rate seem reasonable?

    Hello, I posted this in another section of the forum and was advised it may be better suited here. I have limited practical experience with pumps and fluid flow systems so please bear with me. I work for a start up company with limited resources/experience and I am trying to determine pressure...

    Does this GPM/Head seem reasonable?

    Hello, I have limited practical experience with pumps and fluid flow systems so please bear with me. I am trying to determine pressure head in our system. Please reference the picture of our test system set up below (albeit a bit ugly) as well as a crude simplified flow diagram that I have...

    Next Career Move- Sales or Design?

    Haha no problem, I will choose my words more carefully next time. Regardless, you must have made that statement for some reason. Have you found many salespeople to be highly egotistical? That's not a personality characteristic I am typically a fan of.

    Next Career Move- Sales or Design?

    TheTick- I'm sorry if I came off as braggatory, I was simply trying to state that I have a degree from a reputable university. I do have to disagree with you to some extent, in that when looking for employment right out of school or early in one's career, many employers do consider where...

    Next Career Move- Sales or Design?

    TheTick- Not sure what is meant by that, can you explain? Lacajun- That is my one fear that I will lose my technical edge. But the allure of getting out and seeing the world really appeals to me. Do you spend much time out with clients? Are deals really made of the golf course? My golf game...

    EngineerErrant- I like your response. A solid, honost approach to selling a product you believe in.

    Next Career Move- Sales or Design?

    Hmm, I see, well I kinda see myself at a point where I could go either way if I worked on it. I wasn't exactly the best academic in college but I do have an BSME from a top 10 Engineering school. Where do you see sales guys going as they move up the chain? I've heard its a good ticket to...

    Next Career Move- Sales or Design?

    I'm mostly interested in being satisfied with my work and work environment but of course I want to get paid a fair salary as well. I would say I am more extroverted than most engineers, but may need to work on my skills a bit. I think it could come easier with a bit of experience and practice...

    Next Career Move- Sales or Design?

    So I'm 27 and am coming up on 3 years at my current job, which is my 2nd career job. I've been working for almost 5 years total for two recognizable companies. Right now I have a slew of responsibilities including, CAD design, Manufacturing support, but all too much of the time I feel I spend...

    Affordable home alternative to Solidworks?

    If I was working at home under my day job employer's license, technically wouldn't anything I create be property of my employer and not my own?

    Affordable home alternative to Solidworks?

    I will have to check but I'm about 90% certain that my employer does not allow SWX for non-work purposes. Assuming they do not..does Alibre do everything SWX does? How does the user interface compare? Thanks

    Affordable home alternative to Solidworks?

    I am looking to do some 3D modeling and possible freelance design from home. We use SolidWorks at work. Can anyone recommend a similar program that is more affordable?
