AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on predicting the mechanical effects of emergency shut-down scenarios on pipeline networks, particularly concerning crude oil. Participants are sharing insights on the tools and methods used to assess impacts like hammering, emphasizing the importance of liquid density in these predictions. A webinar addressing these topics has been identified as a valuable resource for further information. The conversation highlights the need for effective modeling and analysis in pipeline management during critical situations. Understanding these effects is crucial for maintaining pipeline integrity and safety.

How are you predicting the effects of emergency shut-down scenarios on your pipeline networks?

I'm seeking some input on the tools you use to predict mechanical effects (hammering, etc.) from critical scenarios such as emergency shut-down.

What kind of liquid? Density (gas or liquid) makes a huge difference.

Thanks for your response!
The liquid would be crude oil...

After doing a little research, I actually came across a webinar that will apparently cover these topics - looks like it's part 3 of a larger series. Here's the address, as it looks like it's open to the public:

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

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...
