    How does a pressure reducing valve work?

    Im not sure how accurate this is, but i think based on the conditions in the outlet, the valve will always drop the pressure to the required level, no matter what the inlet conditions are. If the outlet conditions require a pressure of 10bar, the valve will drop the pressure from 100 to 10 or...

    Calculating Thermal Expansion and Bending in a Pipe

    I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some info on a problem I am facing. I have a pipe of 10m and 16" diameter. It has steam flowing through it, and due to inaccurate desuperheating we have a difference of temperatures at the bottom at top of the pipe. Assuming we have a...

    Load Calc Analysis for a Ladder Frame - Get Help Now

    Almost 80 views and no replies?? Anyway Considering the vehicle travels over uneven roads, thus causing one side rail to be lifted while the other remains the same, this would cause a torque or twist in the cross member.Any idea how i could go about calculating this??

    Load Calc Analysis for a Ladder Frame - Get Help Now

    Hey i would really appreciate it if someone could help me with the load calculations in a chassis. The frame is basically a ladder frame, 2 C section side rails and cross members. Would like to know how the weight of the vehicle acting at the Cg gets distributed along the frame. And how does...

    Calculating Wheel Loads in Dynamic and Static Conditions for Vehicle Analysis

    Hey Just needed some help with analysis of vehicle loading in dynamic and static conditions.Basically what are the axial and radial loads acting on the axle/wheel in static and dynamic conditions? Accompanying formula would be helpful. How would i go about finding out the loads under static...
