    Maximum Thrust force in submarine

    This will depend on motor size/power and, more critically, prop geometry.

    Pressure and Flow in a pipeline

    Short answer: Unless the water is flowing into a pressurized container, it will have to discharge at atmospheric pressure. This means that between the water main (@ 4bar gage) and the outlet (atm), the liquid will have to lose 4 bar of pressure. It can lose the pressure in two ways. Losses due...

    Questions about Venturi scrubber

    Basically, they spray water into the throat of the venturi at a certain rate such that the gas, moving very quickly, atomizes the liquid (turns it into mist, rather than straight liquid). The particulate in the inlet gas then attach themselves to the droplets of mist. As the fluid slows down in...

    What are the causes of mass delusion?

    To be fair, given the angles shown, and ignoring the fact that they are obviously at different perspectives and field depths, they do have different areas as shown in 2D. The left section, on my screen, measures 6 cm x 3 cm. The right section measures 5 cm x 2.7cm. That's roughly 75% of the...

    Help with water pump calculations

    1) It's non-linear, very much so. 2) Be aware that 15' is the total dynamic head. This is the static head (difference between the elevation of the pipe discharge and the surface elevation of the supply water) plus the dynamic head ("pressure" loss due to the friction between the fluid and the...

    Help with water pump calculations

    I'm going to disagree with Jack and ask that you send additional specs about the pump. I have a hard time believing the $15 pump is a positive displacement (constant flow) pump.

    What is an I55 beam and how does it compare to other common beam types?

    Could they be talking about a wide flange "I-beam", I know there are W18x55 (18 inch deep, 55 lb/ft), W21x55, W24x55. Not sure how else to help, sorry.

    Software Coder's Stand Designs for a Touch Screen Display and PC: Review Needed!

    I'd suggest using adjustable feet on the stand's bottom frame. A total of six would probably do it. If you try to stand this using the "flat" bottom of that welded frame, you'll be hugely disappointed.

    Air Flow Rate in 1/4" Pipe at 1 Bar Pressure

    You've asked this exact question twice now...those threads stay open, if you want more clarification or second opinions, just ask for them in the thread. It will be bumped to the top of the list. For reference, your previous posts...

    Pumpable slurries What concentration?

    I'd get in touch with local distributers/manufacturers that deal with pumps like Warman, Goulds, Toyo, etc. Salt is tricky stuff and can be hell on pump internals. With that said, there's plenty of literature out there regarding the pumping of slurries. The main issues are: - settling of...

    Air Pressure Regulator velocity

    I should point out that I meant it would be 200 Liters when compressed to 2 bar gage, not absolute as my previous post notes.

    Air Pressure Regulator velocity

    As noted in your other thread: no. First, I assume the outlet pressure range is 0 to 2 bar gage pressure, or ~14.7 - 43.7 psia (just using the "standard" atmospheric air pressure). Units are extremely important when discussing compressed air. Second, a 1/4 NPT fitting will not have a 1/4"...

    Can Air Flow 10Lit/Sec in 6.35mm Pipe @ 1Bar?

    First, do you mean 1 barg or 1 bar (as in, atmospheric)? Second, do you mean 10 L/s at standard conditions (i.e. NL/s), or 10 L/s "actual" air flow (as in 10 L/s of pressurized air) Third, when you say the pipe is 6.35 mm / .25 in, do you mean it's a 1/4" Sch. 40 pipe (that has an inside...

    Hydraulic Diameter: Calculate & Understand It

    The definition uses the "cross sectional area". Can you think of a way to calculate the total area of the opening (including the triangular/trapezoidal areas on the ends)?

    Failed first mathematical methods test

    1) Look at the syllabus or ask the professor/TA if the course is on a curve. A 61% may be a C or a B depending on the curve. 2) Do you understand the material and just made mathematical errors? Then practice more. If you don't understand the material very well (and, really, even if you do) go to...
