    What are the unknown variables in the flowrate equation?

    I found the answer. Feel free to ask if interested. Now I got another probem! I found this equation, but I don't understand it. P/0.1 x Flow x Hours x 0.35 x 0.007 x cost. P is in bar, so by dividing by 0.1 we get MPa. Flow is in L/sec Hours means operating hours for a compressor. 0.35 is...

    What are the unknown variables in the flowrate equation?

    Bumping it for the last time. If no one are able to help me, do you have any suggestions for where I could find some? Thanks in advance! :)

    What are the unknown variables in the flowrate equation?

    Hello friends! I got this flowrate equation I wish to translate, into metric system, but somehow I find it hard to do. It is as follows: M (lb/s) = A x C x P / √(R) A: Area (inches) C: Flow coefficient P: Pressure (psi) R: Temperature (Rankine) So, to get this into SCFM I...

    How to handle groupwork, and papers

    Hey, I'm considering doing a few subjects in a field I like, but the fact that a portfolio based on lectures and group based student works like lecturer, presentations and project work is basis for the grade kinda worries me. How do I ensure that my fellow students are gonne pull their...

    Doing a compressed air survey on your plant

    Thank you very much, sir :) You are probably correct, but at this time a redesign of the system isn't a option. But yes, improvement of drives is an issue. Yes we do, and I too think it's a good idea. We have a service agreement with our provider (used to be Atlas-Copco, but my predecessor...

    Doing a compressed air survey on your plant

    Another thought that I've made is: What's the best way to monitor the compressed air on such a large plant? I've come to realize that if there's ever gonne happen anything I need to delegate responsibility and make each division work on their pipes/equipement/etc. In order to do so we need to...

    Doing a compressed air survey on your plant

    Hello fellow PF-friends. I'm in the works of doing a compressed air survey where we wish to look at the savings potential for our plant. As there's a lack of control and overview we're going back to the basics (which means I have to start from scratch). I'm physically tracking the largest...
