AI Thread Summary
"R34 2 PL" in an isometric drawing refers to a radius of 34mm applied in two locations, indicating symmetry on both sides of the casting. The actual profile consists of an arc segment with the specified radius, potentially featuring short straight run-off lines. There was initial confusion regarding the feasibility of a 34mm radius due to the vertical distance constraints. Ultimately, the discussion clarified that the design includes a quarter circle transitioning into a vertical line. The participants reached a consensus on the interpretation of the drawing notation.

I'm confused about "R34 2 PL" means.
I'm guessing the radius of the round is 2mm and the curve is a quarter of an ellipse like so:

Am I right?

It should mean radius 34 in two places - ie same on right and left locations on casting . Actual profile is made up of an arc segment of the given radius and there may also be short sections of straight run off lines .

That's what I thought but a radius of 34 is impossible because the vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the curve has to be 60
 
It's a quarter circle merging into a vertical line .

Ah I got it now. Thank you for your help
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
