AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying the specific grades or codes of Brass and Cast Iron used for worm wheels. Participants emphasize the importance of conducting thorough research, suggesting that a simple Google search can yield valuable information. The British Standard, BS 721, which pertains to worm gearing specifications from 1963, is mentioned as a relevant resource. The conversation encourages asking specific questions based on findings rather than seeking general answers. Overall, the thread highlights the need for independent research while providing a reference to established standards.

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...
