    Acceptable time for draining a tank

    For best practice design of a tank, what is an acceptable time for maintenance engineers to wait for a tank to drain? Once this drain time is known, calculating the drain size is simple enough, and covered in other threads. I am sizing the drains for both a 40 m^3 condensate return tank and 25...

    Simple project management software

    Thanks for the suggestions. The PSMJ Excel solution - Plantrax - looks the part. Excel based solutions seems the answer, Plantrax being a comprehensive example. Praestro covers a whole lot more than a simple gannt chart,including invoicing and customer contacts.

    Simple project management software

    JVCGant looks interesting. From the website it is the "project management light" software that I am after. Hopefully it is also user friendly and intuitive. I will download the trial version and check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Simple project management software

    Thanks for pointing out a project management suite that I had not seen before. Actually, resource management is the least of my priorities. The critical path items in a design project are prototyping, testing and tool manufacture. The first and the last are generally outsourced, and the testing...

    Gasoline / ethanol /methano vapour properties

    Thanks for that - I have seen a lot of hydrocarbon gases are around the 0.007 centipoise figure. Why then does air, also a gas, have more than double the viscosity (0.018 centipoise)? Is it dependant on molar mass?

    Gasoline / ethanol /methano vapour properties

    For a project for petrol vapour recovery, is the viscosity of ethanol / methanol vapour much different from petrol vapour? Does anyone have viscosity data for these three gaseous fuels?

    What programme to use for continuous beam analysis?

    Thanks for all the input. I have downloaded a trial version of Risa-2D and am looking at it now. It is probably the right thing to get a programme which can handle more than just beams. I will check out Structpro also.

    What programme to use for continuous beam analysis?

    I am looking to buy some software to help me with continuous beam analysis. After looking on the web, I quite like Dr Beam Pro, even though it does not calculate stress, nor allow variable cross-sections between spans. http://www.drsoftware-home.com/dbp/DBeam.html Has anyone else had...
