    Input pressure required to produce controller output values

    ok here is what i got... 33.33% of input scale (0 - 40 bar) is 13.33 bar60% of 13.33 bar = 8 bar 50% of 13.33 bar = 6.67 bar 40% of 13.33 bar = 5.332 bar 30% of 13.33 bar = 4 bar0% Output = 25 - 8 = 17 bar 10% Output = 25 – 6.67 = 18.3 bar 90% Output = 25 + 4 = 29 bar 100% Output = 25 +...

    Input pressure required to produce controller output values

    Homework Statement A direct acting proportional pressure controller has a gain of 3, a range of 0-40 bar and is set to control at 25 bar. When the measured value and the desired value are equal, the output signal is 60%. Determine the input pressure required to produce controller output values...

    Relative humidity of the air entering a compressor

    Ive had a go at Calculating the Relative Humidity (RH). Have I used the correct method to calculate RH?Inlet conditions 7.9m3 min-1 * 60 = 474m3 / hour Using a Dew-point Chart (at 1.013 bar) to find the amount of moisture present in saturated air at 15°C = 12.5 g Saturation Quantity = 12.5g *...

    Relative humidity of the air entering a compressor

    Homework Statement Air is drawn into a compressor at normal temperature and pressure (N.T.P.) and compressed to a pressure of 6 bar gauge. After compression the air is delivered at 1.2m3 min–1 and cooled to a temperature of 30°C, at which point condensate is collected at the rate of 2 litres...

    V-Belt Drives & coefficient of friction

    not really sure, would that be F1 / F2 = eµθ/ sinα but solved for sinα?

    V-Belt Drives & coefficient of friction

    Homework Statement 1. A pulley 150 mm diameter is driven directly by an electric motor at 250 revs min–1. A V-belt is used to transmit power from this pulley to a second pulley 400 mm diameter against a load of 200 Nm. The distance between the centre of the pulleys is 600 mm, the included...

    Bulk and Shear Modulus Calculations

    I think the answer in post 4 is incorrect, the formula is not correct. I think it should be G = E / (2(1 + ѵ)) G = 250/(2(1+0.32)) G = 250/2.64 G = 94.7 Shear Modulus, G = 94.7 GPa

    Bulk and Shear Modulus Calculations

    I believe the unit for bulk modulus will be pascals. I'm still trying to get the shear modulus.
