The low speed side of the gearbox must be capable of reacting the maximum torque. The high speed side does not need to be capable of reacting the maximum torque unless it is used as the mount for reacting this torque. Gearboxes are usually designed the be lighter and less expensive by reacting...
A sand filter is only a surface filter for particles larger than the sand grains. It is a depth filter for anything smaller. So it is primarily a depth filter.
To dry a volatile liquid from a crevice or other highly restricted space you must use a temperature above the boiling point, otherwise the only mechanism for solvent molecules to move is diffusion through a porous medium also containing air molecules (no pressure gradient). Above boiling point...
This is a filtering issue. The sorbent itself is a filter. Using heat will boil the acetone which could displace sorbent as well, unless done slowly, with heating to only slightly above the boiling point. Something like sewing thread acts as a semipermeable material. With thread capillary action...
Vinyl ester has high shrinkage upon cure and is not a great adhesive. I would guess that the mortar lost its bond to the anchor, but not the bolt. The threads are still holding. When you threaded on the nut it could not screw the anchor any further into a blind hole, but you could unscrew the...
Custom O-rings are commonly made from rolls of O-ring stock. The groove should be slightly narrower than the O-ring cross-section to keep the O-ring in the groove. The stock should be cut slightly longer than needed so that the splice is under compression. Then you do not even need to glue the...
It makes the pumps self-priming to some extent, in that it keeps water from draining completely out of the pump casing. There is a tee on the pump discharge with a ball valve for adding priming water (or pulling vacùum).
I know nothing of your simulation but I do know that what prevents fiber damage is delamination of the plies due to exceeding the shear strength of the resin. You must also account for the shear stress between plies caused by cure shrinkage and the difference in CTE (coefficient of thermal...
Typically all the work done by these type of machines is 100 percent converted to heat. However, the work done is rarely as much as the nameplate capacity of the machine. The actual work can be measured or calculated using some physics and some assumptions.
You appear to be using the terms leveling and alignment interchangeably. They are not the same thing. Leveling means alignment to the direction of gravity. Alignment means making the plates parallel to each other.
Sea water is not sterile, so why would you rinse with it? If you are using UV to sterilize the rinse water, your testing is showing that not to be effective.
Sounds like my first project out of school in a chemical plant. Replace several thousand feet of corroded 3" vent piping that ran the whole plant with new Kynar lined pipe. Just used a tape measure and isometric graph paper. I had to crawl though many crowded pipe racks. You, or your...
