Heat Exchanger Forum - Questions & Answers

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on several technical questions related to heat exchangers, including the calculation of thinning allowance for tube expansion, standard drawings for tube-to-tube sheet weld joints, and minimum inner radius calculations for floating head covers. Additionally, it addresses the selection criteria for sliding and sealing strip dimensions and the calculation of pull-out loads for mock-up tests. Participants are advised to refer to the ASME Section VIII Division 1 code and TEMA standards for guidance. The conversation emphasizes the importance of adhering to established engineering standards in heat exchanger design and testing.

Hi all...
can anyone help me thru these questions...

a) % of thinning allowance calculation of tubes while expansion

b) standard drwg. for tube to tube sheet weld joints

c) Inner Radius (Min.) calculation for floating Head Cover In AES Heat Exchanger

d) Selection criteria for sliding strip/sealing strip width & thk only, length will be considered according to tube bundle length

e) calculation for finding PULL OUT LOAD ( for conduct mock up test)

kindly respond

Thanks in Advance...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
