I have been asked to estimate the thermal load (in Watts) of a small, commercial aircraft (ie, King Air B300, B350) sitting on a tarmac on a hot day due to solar irradiance. The solar irradiance specified is 1120 W/m^2, the total surface area of the fuselage is about 52.93 m^2, and the...
I have been using ProE for over 10 years, and have a great deal of experience importing models into ANSYS (both classic and workbench).
I'm curious what your issue is...what specifically is the problem?
-Start by creating each section as an individual part
-For someone new to ProEngineer...
I am looking for aerospace mounting rails...I remember that in the cargo bays of several large military aircraft, there are long rails with threaded holes that are used to bolt 19" racks, chairs, etc too.
I need to select rails to install on the underside of an aircraft to support a radome...
Thanks to all for the information. I see now the errors in my thinking - I was asking the wrong question, I think.
Our BCs have changed and we no longer need to worry about the temperature, so this is a moot point.
Thanks again.
The answer might also depend on which section/location of NASA you want to work at. Often, different sectors or sites choose different 'feeder' schools based on their location or how many graduates already work there.
I have a fluid flowing through a pump at 2.0gpm, which I know is giving off 100W of heat, then flows through a reservoir to complete the circuit. For our purposes, we are assuming the pump is perfectly insulated. If we know the temperature of the fluid entering the pump starts at -50C, how...
I guess I'm still a little rusty (and therefore confused). I have my m-dot, but this is how the fluid flow changes with time, not the energy. And I don't have p for my system - just e in Watts.
Can anyone clarify a bit further?
I'm not really sure why you're adding the tabs for screwing the two parts together. I doubt this is for heat exchanger design, but typically, reservoirs, heat exchangers, etc are all BRAZED together. I would recommend you investigate this as an option - it can usually handle fairly high burst...
I actually use Fluid Mechanics by Frank M. White, as do many of my colleagues, and it's been pretty useful (except for the lack of HT coverage).
However, of the two, I always recommend Wiley as a publisher because they always have extra examples on their website and other references.
If I have a fluid, initial temperature and flow rate known (and constant), that is flowing through a heating element (heat given in Watts), what equation do I use to determine how long it takes the fluid to reach a certain temperature? This is a transient problem, for a closed loop system.
I'm doing research on window functions (such as: rectangular, Hanning, Blackman, etc), but am having trouble with respect to the energy loss associated with each. I know that applying the window causes energy loss in the spectra of interest, and for the Hanning Window and Hamming window...

Here's a silly question.
If I'm comparing two different sizes of hose, using the same flow rate in gpm, how do I calculate the pressure drops through each for comparison?
I'm considering using hoses with interior diameter .438 and .688, each with a length of 5 inches.
Use the steady flow energy equation. The complete equation should include losses due to pumps, minor losses, and head losses.For all similar problems, write out the equation, and begin to rule out variables.
Hint: It seems that both point A and B are both exposed to ambient air...this...
