Design Valve

AI Thread Summary

Designing a valve for a CH4 gas stream with a flow rate of 40,000 cm3/h requires specific considerations. Key factors include determining the type of valve needed and the necessary pressure drop for sizing. The application context is crucial for selecting the appropriate valve. Detailed specifications will guide the design process effectively. Understanding these parameters is essential for achieving optimal performance.

Please help me in this problem...

How to design a valve for gas stream?

To be more spicific let's assume that we have aflow rate of 40000 cm3/h

of CH4 ?

I think that a bit more detail is required. What sort of valve are you in a mind for?

Do you mean size/select? You need flow rate and required pressure drop for size, then application to select it.

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
