Hi, Ed and Latex I did try to join their outputs with a small tank due to limtied space. Oddly, the air flow rate and surface temperature of both compressors increase a lot more. Perhaps, I should put a baffle inside of the tank to smooth out the flow and maintain its flow rate. I would like...

I am hoping I can get some help from your expertise. I am currently using two small diaphragm air compressors connecting with a Wye-fitting and that will be the main air source for a spray nozzle. The outlet of the Wye-fitting will be connected to a nozzle, which has a very small hole in order...

Hi all, I have a simple question regarding to the heat transfer of a heated water tank with three scenarios First scenario: Air velocity, 88 ft/s at -20 F, is blowing parallel to a 8' x 16' cylindrical tank filled with water. The tank is 1/4" cold-rolled steel without any insulation. The tank...

@51stovebolt I would want to design the rotary vane compressor itself instead of selecting one.

Hi, I am sure there are tons of books out there on designing rotary vane compressor. Can any one recommend me a couple of them? I am looking for more of engineering and design guidelines of rotary vane compressor head specifically. Anything other than the books is also helpful. Thanks a bunch.

@Ron Believe me, I wouldn't want to consider to ask anyone online for an opinion if it was not ethical. As unethical as it sounds, I really think it is necessary to be careful about this because it's about professionalism. If I do not know the basic rules of engineering laws, maybe years of...

@KENAT What is the definition of "work resources"? If I used the information from ASTM standard from my own purchase, and also the company has a copy as well, will that consider the "work "resources"? Using internet at work for research purpose, will that consider "work resources"?

Is there a clear source where I can refer to for protecting my own design from the company I work for? It sounds kind of strange why I ask this. If I do the design work in the company but nothing has been manufactured yet, will the design still be the company's property? I would like to know my...

I see, much appreciate your help

@berkshire I have tried your method and i am not too lucky afterall. @CorBlimeyLimey I have tried that as well but i don't think i can create a flat pattern on this sheet.

Hi, All Is there a way to create a flange on the tab from a cylindrical sheet metal? I could have created a part for extrution but it won't let me flat the part for the strip machine to bunch it out. Your file's link is...

Kenat, The application that I am working on is to use the advantage of air pattern to create or furnish better combustion for heating. The setup is really similar to jet engine compressors with vanes. something like this...

Hi, Everyone Is there a textbook or a website that I can study about the behavior or airflow pattern? The idea is simple: using a blower/fan on one end of a pipe with a deflector (blade/propeller) in the middle and creating whirl airflow pattern. In other word, pressurized air is forced into a...

Thanks a lot 25362

Compositepro thank you for the explanation on the relationship between pressure, flow rate and atomization. You were right on the power consumption and the liquid flow rate and droplets. When I start to spec out the compressors with same voltage and same pressure output, it gives you...
