AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the vaporization rate of isooctane droplets based on their diameter. A participant mentions difficulty accessing a relevant paper from Harvard University, which only provides an abstract. They share an equation related to the vaporization rate, expressed as m = dm/dt = 2πr, although they struggle with formatting. The conversation highlights the growing interest in this area of research and the need for accessible resources. Further contributions are anticipated to enhance understanding of isooctane's vaporization properties.

Does anyone know how to calculate the vaporization rate of a droplet of isooctane at a given diameter?

Thank you
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Can anyone help please?

The only paper I have found is stored on a harvard university server. They only show the abstract but the paper itself seems inaccessible.
 
This is FAST becoming an area of intense interest, for good reason. I will attempt to find and post helpful information.
 
I have found this equation in a paper describing coductivity properties of isooctane, I hope it will be helpful. m= dm/dt = 2 pi r . not being able to use scientific notation with this keyboard , lower case d is inserted wth mass and again with radius in the equasion.The best i could do was to show it as m/d , and i believe that would make it too
difficult to understand. this equation was used to obtain vaporization rate of isooctane
at given diameter of droplets.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
