    Explosion-Proof Linear Position Control Sensor: LVDT vs. Ultrasonic Comparison

    The sensor case must not permit any ingress of dust or water so think the LVDT is the best option here...

    Explosion-Proof Linear Position Control Sensor: LVDT vs. Ultrasonic Comparison

    Homework Statement , [/B]I have to recommend a linear portion control sensor, that can be used in an explosive enviroment. Unsafe electrical contacts should be avoided and the case must not permit any dust or water.Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution . [/B]My thoughts are either a LVDT...

    Calculating Steam Production in Fire Tube Boiler | 180ºC Dry Saturated Steam

    Chet trust me this was a last resort. I have spent 3 days 12 hour days reading my course work and this isn't covered at all hence why I need the help. The tutor is asking if I have ever used the energy balance equation but I have no idea what this even looks like

    Calculating Steam Production in Fire Tube Boiler | 180ºC Dry Saturated Steam

    yeah Chet I know about those. Its actually from a heat transfer and combustion task I have been set...

    Calculating Steam Production in Fire Tube Boiler | 180ºC Dry Saturated Steam

    afraid not Chet this is how I'am finding this question extremely difficult. I would imagine once you have a handle on what you stated the question is relatively simple?

    Calculating Steam Production in Fire Tube Boiler | 180ºC Dry Saturated Steam

    Homework Statement Dry saturated steam at a temperature of 180ºC is to be produced in a fire tube boiler from cooling of 50000 kg/h of flue gases from a pressurised combustion process. The gases enter the tubes of the boiler at 1500ºC and leave at 100ºC. The feed water is externally preheated...

    How Do You Calculate the Required Mass and Position to Balance a Rotating Shaft?

    I would gladly take a pass for this now just get it complete and move onto something else. I sent you a private message if you can help I will send a private message with my email

    How Do You Calculate the Required Mass and Position to Balance a Rotating Shaft?

    The mass is correct though I know that much but I can't for the life of me get the positions worked out. This set of questions are especially hard! Take it you still have to complete this then?

    How Do You Calculate the Required Mass and Position to Balance a Rotating Shaft?

    I am working through this question also and was looking to confirm that in post #7 that the answer is the mass is 1.62kg and a=0.25m b=0.75m. Is that correct? If so why doesn't a and b add up to the length of the shaft at 2m? Very confused!

    Maximum Velocity of a Con-Rod with Off-set Crank.

    CWatters or MorgansRocks do you have the velocity diagrams and acceleration diagrams for this question? Its thrown me a little since its a set up I am unfamiliar with.
