    Filling an area with triangles to minimise space loss

    Haha, I'm considering the foam option myself but due to the application of the the insulator it needs to operate at high temperature and be very water resistant. One question with the bottom chamfer calculation, EDIT :Never mind, my mistake.

    Filling an area with triangles to minimise space loss

    Would you mind showing the calculations so I can have a play with the figures? and the fit is not to important as in the past we have just cut wedges and forced them to fit, This time I was just trying to go for a more organised approach, The less slices the better

    Filling an area with triangles to minimise space loss

    I was thinking something like the attached photo, with many pieces shaped as so to fill the whole area, With the material only being 80mm I can make the space between slightly small to 7.5 or so as I will still fall far within my heat loss limit.

    Filling an area with triangles to minimise space loss

    As seen in the drawing attached, there are two circles, the first circle will be a container to hold water and the outer is a second layer of aluminium, in between these will be insulator. What is the best way to work out minimum space lost by using triangles/sectors to fill this area? Having...

    Calculating Heat Loss for Improved Efficiency in a Steam Generator Design

    Yeh that's a problem I've had as regards to research into it, there's not much information on them. I've literally called it that because that's what it is listed as in the guidelines. Effectively it is just a kettle heating element in an aluminium (Previous machine) casing lined with...

    Calculating Heat Loss for Improved Efficiency in a Steam Generator Design

    At current I am trying to redesign a steam generator as seen in the picture attached, the requirements for this are as follows: · The water contain must have a minimum capacity of 2.25 litres · The heat loss as boiling point shall not exceed 75W in ambient of -3 C +/- 1 C · The fan shall have...
