    Rusting in the fermentation room. Explanations?

    I was informed that the operation termperatures are around 50C and I've only seen what the oven looks like after the fermenting of the bread. It's practically just all steam and after it cools down, the steam become water droplets that fall back onto the floor or escape through small holes that...

    Rusting in the fermentation room. Explanations?

    Hello, I forgot to ask, are there any suggestions as to get rid/stop the rust? Maybe take down the existing 3cmx3cm aluminium angles and perhaps scrape off the residue, spray it, silicon seal the back of the aluminium angle that covers the rust and rivet it back on. We could drill out all the...

    Rusting in the fermentation room. Explanations?

    I think the sheets are galvanised steel and no, not stainless steal. I'm really not sure what is used to disinfect the area, but hell... I don't think they really even clean it. It's pretty dirty. Would that also contribute to rusting? I don't think there are other metals making contact...

    Rusting in the fermentation room. Explanations?

    But what made the older fermentation rooms rust at say 10years rather than the newly built ones, which has started rusted not even 2 years upon construction? The baker, says nothing has changed. So I don't know why that older ones rusted at a later stage. If what you're suggesting is happening...

    Vertical fall with quadratic air drag.

    Hey guys, It's ok now, I finally sat down, cleared my mind of angst and frustration and carefully worked it out. It looks good now. Thank you both berkeman and George Jones. Levi

    Rusting in the fermentation room. Explanations?

    Hello all, Recently I have come across a problem that I cannot seem to understand. A fermentation room was built out of an insulated wall system provided by a company called BONDOR, started to rust at the corners of the joints between the walls and ceiling. The rivets started rusting as well...

    Vertical fall with quadratic air drag.

    I tried flipping the signs but I still end up with a similar answer to my previous one, I admit I overlooked that minus, but still, this doesn't really help me reach my proof. Where do A and B come from? Perhaps a better question is, can someone tell me what A and B are so I know how to work to...

    What is the parallel shift of the light beam?

    I may be wrong but parallel shift is the final light beam path subtracted by the original light beam path the light would of traveled without the glass plate, so that you end up with a difference from the original beam if you trace your light beam straight through the glass plate. You should see...

    How Does Mercury's Density Affect Column Pressure in hPa?

    hPa is 10^2, so 100 times a Pa. And assume g is 9.81ms^-2. I'm not sure what you mean "what the 'g' in 13.6g/cm^3 belongs to" question, but g is not a variable in there, it's an indication that the density is in grams per centimeter cubed, so keep the units in centimeters and grams, and the...

    Vertical fall with quadratic air drag.

    Hello all, I've been having some problems regarding the fall of an object in the vertical direction that has air drag which varies quadratically with speed. The problem is as shown: A gun is fired straight up. Assuming that the air drag on the bullet varies quadratically with speed. Show...

    Intensity in Young's double slit experiment problem.

    Hello all, I have a problem that requires some knowledge about Young's double slit experiment. The question is as follows: Imagine performing Young's experiment with one slit wider than the other so that the intensity passing the wider slit is four times as great as that passing the narrower...

    Help with Thermodynamics Revision Questions

    Andrew, I got to w = K( (V(final)^1-n) - V(initial)^1-n) )/ (1-n) n = gamma The question wants me to convert them all in terms of temperature. Can you give me a hint on where to start on changing that to Temperatures? Also, anyone know how to start this question? Use S =...

    Clarifications of entropy and heat transfer between reservoirs.

    Hello all, I just need some clarifications on my approach to this question. Heat is absorbed along a metal bar from a hot thermal reservoir Th to a cold thermal reservoir at temperature Tc. Apart from the ends, which are in contact with the thermal reservoirs, the bar is perfectly insulated...
