Minor Loss Coeff. Calc: 60nm Pore Diameter

AI Thread Summary
The minor loss coefficient for a filter with a 60nm pore diameter is typically determined through testing that measures the pressure drop against flow rate. This method is standard even for larger perforations, as noted in discussions about strainers. Direct measurement or existing data from previous studies are the primary means to obtain this coefficient. Without such empirical data, defining the minor loss coefficient remains challenging. Accurate assessment is crucial for understanding the filter's performance in practical applications.

Hi everyone;

How I can define the minor loss coefficient(pressure loss) of a filter which has 60nm pore diameter?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Beats me. Generally, such information is obtained from testing the filter to obtain a curve of pressure drop versus flow rate. This is the procedure even for things like strainers, where the perforations are much larger than 60 nm
 
What SteamKing said. The only way is to measure it, or check if somebody else has already measured it.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below.

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...
