Hello all, I was looking to determine the force applied on a plate A by another plate B which is pushing down on plate A to hold it. what are all the information required to calculate the force and how? (see attached pic) Thanks

Hi all, I have a hollow shaft of 2" outside dia to 1.25" inside dia, about 1.5 ft in length.I also have a notch going around the outside periphery of the shaft. The shaft also has 2 holes drilled tranversely through the shaft The shaft will be rotating and will have torsion and probably...

Hi all, the problem i have is that there is a rotating disk with nozzles on its circumference. a material is being pushed into this rotating disk/plate and its being released from the nozzles tangentially. The disk is rotating with a certain rpm such that the angular velocity of the...

I have a shaft with radius "r" running at a certain RPM. how can i determine the angular acceleration of the shaft. Do i need any other parameters as well? Can i say that the angular acceleration can be (w^2*r), w is the angular velocity, r being the radius. thanks

I am working on a problem involving spray dryers. The material to be dryed would be injected through a centrifugal disk with spherical multiple openings of about 0.5 mm in diameter. Hot air would be blown from the dryer's bottom part. I was wondering how can I approach the problem to find out...
