AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a flap valve that operates on a horizontal axis using a lever-pneumatic cylinder mechanism, requiring a 90° operation for opening and closing. The load on the valve is approximately 5000N across a rectangular flap measuring 800x1092 sq. mm. Participants are seeking guidance on calculating the necessary force at the pneumatic cylinder piston rod end, possibly using a uniformly distributed load (UDL) condition. Additionally, there is a request for assistance in simulating the pneumatic piston cylinder and recommendations for simulation software. The conversation emphasizes the need for precise calculations and effective simulation tools in the design process.

Friends,

Right now I am designing a flap valve with is operating with the horizontal axis. By using lever-pneumatic cylinder mechanism, valve will open (vertical position) and close (horizontal position) with 90° operation. I this case, I need to calculate the required force at the pn. cylinder piston rod end. My load is around 5000N through out the rectangular flap 800x1092 sq. mm. How can i Handle this? Using UDL condition? Of ____

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
