AI Thread Summary
Calculating the valve size for a V250 rotary ball valve involves understanding the required volumetric flow rate of natural gas, which is 2.8 million liters per minute at standard temperature and pressure (STP). The density of natural gas at STP is 0.752 kg/m3, and the specific heat ratio is 1.31. The inlet and outlet pressures are 20 bar gauge and 6 bar gauge, respectively, with an inlet temperature of 20 °C. The initial step in the calculation is to determine the ratio between the volumetric flow rate and the gas density. Proper calculations are crucial for ensuring effective valve sizing and performance.

I am struggling with calculating the valve size from a V250 rotary ball valve by Fisher Controls International. The below table states that natural gas is running through the vavle and the following properties apply:Natural Gas

Required volumetric flow rate [@ STP] 2.8 x 106 litre per minute
Density [@ STP] 0.752 kg per m3
Specific heat ratio 1.31
Inlet pressure 20 bar gauge
Outlet pressure 6 bar gauge
Inlet Temperature 20 °C

Would I be right in thinking that I need to find the ratio between the required volumetric flow rate and the density of the valve first?

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

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...
