Yea. I understand now. Thanks.

How is your angular acceleration 0.75rad/s^2 ? You have an rpm of 3.6 being reached in half second. Going by the formula for angular acceleration which is "rpm divided by time taken" it should be 3.6/0.5 = 7.8rad/s^2. Let me know how u got 0.75rad/s^2.

Yes, u have to get time of acceleration to that speed. Also, is the acceleration uniform?

Torque is I* angular acceleration.

I believe the sensors wolram described above are conductive sensors used where the substance whose level is being sensed is a conductive medium. However, there are other types you can check out, assuming your medium is non-conductive cos i think pulp is non-conductive. Visit the link below and...

I think I will buy into a correct idea. Can anyone help here. Pls.

That's true. I agree. Thanks.

But the pressure relieving process for the gas is not isochoric as the exit of water at the bottom provides extra volume for gas to occupy.

Good answer, surrelative. Others have been out of point.

In summary, FEA softwares: ANSYS, FEMtools, ANSA. CFD softwares: FLUENT, FLUIDYN. Drafting softwares: SolidWorks, Pro/E, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD. Other analysis tools are MATLAB, MATCAD, You can google these sofwares for more details.

@CERNboson. As a design engineer you will need first and foremost your creative genius. After coming up with your design concepts, you then carry out analysis, for stress analysis you can use FEA softwares i.e finite element analysis or you can also perform ur analysis using all u have learned...

Thanks DickL. I understand what you mean but this one requires a pure mechanical system. That is what the specs state. It is a design project that I am trying to work on to gain more experience and hone my skills as a newly graduated mech. Engr. So it will be best if I fufill the requirements...

Edgepflow, thanks again. But my specs state that the overspeed trip should not be powered by batteries or an external power source as it must not fail when needed to function. So it must get its power from the main shaft of the prime mover for which it is being designed. This is to ensure that...

My design specs is such that i can't use an air cylinder. The trip assembly is to be retrofitted. I am in need of an idea around a push button locking mechanism. Thanks. Pls let me know if u have another idea. Thanks again.

I am working on a concept for an overspeed trip mechanism. I'm almost done with this except for this one thing: i need a locking mechanism that will hold a dead weight at a height so that this weight is only released only when the lock is actuated to realease it. But that's not all. When...
