    Undergrad Is there a way? Salt Water to Fresh Water

    Thanks! Sorry for the multi-post, wasnt sure on where to put it. I have been searching google before I posted. I found several solar powered systems, but not really for my application. I am dealing with a large tank with approx 2000 gallons of water and have a pump that transfers it to other...

    Undergrad Is there a way? Salt Water to Fresh Water

    Any one know of a machine/chemical to convert Salt water (8.8lb-9.4lb) to Fresh water (8.6lb) on a LARGE scale?? I have read several things on converting using the sun to evaporate the water, but that's only like a liter a day. I would love to find something or have something made that would...

    Undergrad AirFlow Calculations/ Anemometer anyone?

    Well thanks for the input at any rate ;0)... Also, One more question when a 6" pipe shrinks down to a 4" on a bend...how would I calculate the effect of this? Or would it even matter assuming I started using this device correctly =0)

    Undergrad AirFlow Calculations/ Anemometer anyone?

    Danger...Yes the air filter gives resistance, but that is the whole point of creating a intake is to make one that supports more air and supports the CFM of a better filter (K&N) therefore, I would have to compare the air flow through the stock housing and filter to the new air filter and...

    Undergrad AirFlow Calculations/ Anemometer anyone?

    Yea wow I am retarded...as far as measuring at the filter housing goes. I am tryin to determine the difference in my intake vs the stock intake. I figure the only was is to hold the air supply a certain distance away (approx 9 inches away gives a 50mph wind) and then measure the flow rate threw...

    Undergrad AirFlow Calculations/ Anemometer anyone?

    AirFlow Calculations/ Anemometer anyone?? Hello all, I am trying to solve a problem with my anemometer. I am not sure if there is anyone here that has used one but here goes. My purpose is to calculate CFM of a particular AIR INTAKE of my truck. The problems lies in that CFM= Air Velocity...

    Calculating CFM for a 4" to 3" PVC Pipe Reduction

    Basically I am designing an air intake that has to be a certain size (3 1/2") at the throttle body due to a coupe curves. My purpose is to get more air into the motor, however, it is limited at that point. I don't think there is any chance that the acutal pipe is filling up with air so I am...

    Calculating CFM for a 4" to 3" PVC Pipe Reduction

    Im trying to figure out the CFM on a certain project. To sum it up I am taking a 4" PVC Pipe and it is going into a 3" pvc pipe (had to shrink size due to bends and turns). My question is that if a 4" Pipe @ 4500 FPM can withstand 390CFM how will it be affected shrinking it down. Will it speed...
