Hi everyone, I'm sorry if it sounds dumb but I'm struggling here trying to understand how to increase the pressure in a pipe using an air compressor. I wasn't able to find information for this really basic engineering problem, so hope you guys could help me. Basically, the idea here is to...

Hi Nidum, thanks for your answer ! I search on tribology and found some interesting stuff. But as you said, it depends a lot on material combinations and tests results. Anyway, thanks for your help. Now here's another question, not directly linked to friction wear on pulleys. Does the traction...

Hi everyone and greetings from a new member. I'm looking for informations about how to estimate the wear due to friction of a rope as it passes through a pulley. Couldn't find anything really consistent about the subject. I looked at the capstan and Archard equations but didn't manage to link...
