Dear All, I am going to recreate the flow of a granulate material (approx. 0.5mm diameter particles) inside and under the hopper. The hopper is approx. 150mm high. I have access to the licensed Ansys software. I did a quick research to find out, which Ansys software would be the most suitable...

Hi Guys, Thank you for your quick feedback. @3DDave The idea with epoxy glue is interesting. I will think about this option. @IRstuff Indeed, some tyre pressure gauges do not have a thread connection. Although, expected pressure inside a little tank (with an in-built cigarette lighter...

Dear All, Did you try to measure the pressure inside a cigarette lighter, a barbecue lighter or similar? I mean a gas-state fuel pressure in say half-full tank of a lighter. The typical valve of a lighter does not have a thread so we could firmly attach a pressure gauge. The pressure of the...

@ IRstuff I have decided to drop an idea of IR camera. A cheaper option would not work for my application. Thank you again for sharing your idea. I am grateful.

@IRstuff Thank you for your reply. Indeed, my bad. Obviously, the IR camera receives radiations. Thank you for your kind advice. It is an interesting idea. According to my research findings though, I would need to buy a high-resolution indistrial IR camera (that could be focused on a very...

Dear All, I hope that you are ok. I need to measure the temperature of a steel product with an IR camera. The capacity of the camera is -20degC-350degC. I will keep the IR camera in a fixed position and will measure the steel product temperature. I will have 2 variables in this test: - The...

Thank you for your answers. @IRstuff The measurements would be around 1mm with an accuracy of +/-0.1mm. @0707 Indeed, the X-ray scan seems to be the best and the most accessible option.

Hi, I have a device, which size is approx. 200mmx35mmx50mm. Inside the device, there are tens of little elements and compressed gas. I wondered whether it would be possible to scan this device with some technique, such as an X-ray, and obtain a 3D image of this device in a form of a 3D CAD...

Thank you for your feedback guys. @btrueblood Indeed, the properties of a tablet and a chewing gum are probably too different. In essence, I am more interested in thermal-mechanical properties of a chewing gum. @Compositepro That is right. It should be 0.75(w/m k).

Dear All, I am looking for the thermal-mechanical properties of some pharmaceutical tablet, a chew gum, or similar. Specifically, I am looking for: - Density (kg/m3) - Specific heat (j/kg k) - Thermal conductivity (w/m k) - Viscosity (kg/m s) - Molecular weight (kg/kg mol) - Standard state...

Dear All, I develop a model (in Fluent) that will simulate the drying process of a bunch of tablets stored in a chamber. Tablets are dried by the air that is pumped to the chamber (through a single inlet) and penetrates a perforation plate (on which tablets are put on) and then it penetrates...

Dear All, I need to provide a source of the airflow to my experiments. The range of air velocities that I need is 2m/s to 20m/s. A source of airflow (I think it will be an air blower) will need to be powerful enough to overcome some significant resistances, given to the airflow by physical...

@danw2 Thank you for your kind reply. I will check listed meters and hardware. Thank you.

Dear All, I develop a lab air tunnel in order to measure pressure drops before and after a wall of little pills. I send attached the concept of tunnel. 1. I search online stores looking for an optimum anemometer/pitot tube in terms of cost/quality. Expected range of velocities to be measured...
