AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the need to remove 6% moisture from 500 kg of polyester staples, which currently contain 12% moisture, using a vacuum chamber at a maximum temperature of 40°C. The user seeks assistance in designing a suitable vessel for this process and mentions they can calculate the necessary pump capacity. There is a suggestion to explore related threads that discuss vacuum chamber construction, specifically for drying applications. The consensus is that a vacuum method is likely the most effective solution for rapid moisture removal. The conversation emphasizes the importance of proper vessel design to achieve the desired moisture reduction efficiently.

TL;DR Summary
Moisture removal from Polyester staples.
I want to remove 6% moisture in one hour from 500 kg of polyester staples, which contains 12% moisture using vacuum chamber at maximum temperature of 40´´°¨ C. Can anybody help to design vessel. I can calculate pump capacity.

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field propagation'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (First part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8 and stuck at some statements. It's little bit confused. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. Solution : The surface bound charge on the ##xy## plane is of opposite sign to ##q##, so the force will be...

Thread 'Simple thought experiment with Stefan-Boltzmann law: energy'

Dear all, in an encounter of an infamous claim by Gerlich and Tscheuschner that the Greenhouse effect is inconsistent with the 2nd law of thermodynamics I came to a simple thought experiment which I wanted to share with you to check my understanding and brush up my knowledge. The thought experiment I tried to calculate through is as follows. I have a sphere (1) with radius ##r##, acting like a black body at a temperature of exactly ##T_1 = 500 K##. With Stefan-Boltzmann you can calculate...
