    KOH Circulation Pump

    I am evaluating mag drive centrifugal pumps for circulating hot KOH (typically 20-45% at ambient to 195F). Flow is thru a filter/strainer and then an in-line heater. Flow rate to be around 4-6 gpm. Submerged suction. I have to eliminate PP pump bodies becuase of the high temperature and can't...

    Type TS Motor

    Thanks! Got it.

    Type TS Motor

    It is in fact a small 56-C 3-phase AC induction motor. A normal size, although the smallest normally available. I am wondering if the "TS" means it is a "soft start" motor (whatever that is). I was told not to use a standard motor with this pump (it has a magnetic coupling - that might break...

    Type TS Motor

    Can anyone tell me what "Type TS" means on the name-plate of a 1/3hp 3-phase electric motor (used for a pump). I thought "Type T" was for 3-phase.

    Comments property not showing when opening a file

    When I open a SW file, my dialog box has a column for the component's "Comments" property, which can be very useful in looking for a file if the file name is non-descriptive. But for some reason, only some parts show the comment there (at least the first line). other files show blank there (even...

    Assembly won't allow finding new part locations

    Thanks - that message turned off location was exactly what I needed.

    Assembly won't allow finding new part locations

    I'm looking for help. In the past when I have opened an assembly and a part contained within has been moved to a different folder not on the reference path list, it comes up surpressed on the feature manager tree - but when I click on it to unsupress it or to open it I get a dialog box that...

    New Workstation Advice Wanted

    This is what I decided to buy; The new i7 920 2.66GHz processor, 3Gb DDR3 1600MHz RAM, matching motherboard, Quadro FX1700 graphics. Running with XP32. I'll let you know how it performs when I get it next week.

    New Workstation Advice Wanted

    From your advice searching around, here is what I am seeing as an answer to my question; Buy a built up system, but not necessarily Dell or HP (like maybe XiComputer). Stick with XP32 OS, Core Duo E8500 processor, and 4G DDR2 Ram(but get a motherboard able to handle at least 8G for future...

    New Workstation Advice Wanted

    Another question - to be more specific. Is a dual core (or quad core) any advantage (do they even make single core anymore) for non-photoshop SW use? How about 64 bit operating systems vs 32 bit?

    New Workstation Advice Wanted

    I have an almost 5 year old Dell 350 workstation that I have been lucky to have used wihout much trouble all this time. Quick specs are a P4 2.4Ghz, 1.5G RAM, Quadro4 900XGL grahics, dual flat monitors. I'd like to spend about or under $2k for a new system (minus monitors). I don't need the...

    KOH dilution exothermic heat

    Thanks for the reply Siretb, The figures you show for heat of dilution look way to large. Did you make an error there? I have a figure of 13.8kcal/mol for total solution heat. If you take your figure of 2500 kcal/mol and multiply by 8,000 mols you get 20,000,000 kcal (not 20,0000 you show). That...

    KOH dilution exothermic heat

    I am trying to calculate the temperature rise that will ocuur when I take 45% KOH solution and dilute it (with water) to a 20% (weight) solution. I have found figures of 1020J/g Heat of Solution, but I can't figure out how to apply this to the partial dilution occuring during 45% to 20%. I found...

    Cutter Path Cut

    Thanks both of you. Cor, I am on 2007 and have reasons for now not to update, but it is good to know that feature will be there when I do. Handleman, your solution is a good one -and thanks for making the model to explain it. This is pretty much what I am doing so I will use that technique for...

    Cutter Path Cut

    I am trying to make grooves in a part model, to simulate an actual part being machined with a tapered end mill that has a flat bottom. I want to experimant with the shapes of grooves I can get into my part by playing with the taper angle and the cutter path and the orientation of the cutter...

    Need Cam design software

    I need to design some plate cams. The output would be a dxf file of the cam profile (to eventual create CNC code). The input would be parameters (base circle, follower dia, follower path, etc) and the basic positions. Also woulf like to be able to specify types of move profiles (sin2 ramps etc)...

    AGP8X card in AGP2.0 Motherboard

    The ATI Fire GL AGP4x card in my Dell workstation just crapped out. The computer specs say the motherboard has an AGP 4x (1.5 volt only) bus. I would like to buy an Nvidia Quadro FX500 card to replace it but I'm concerned that I might have a problem since the spec for the Nvidia card shows it to...

    Detached Drawing

    When I save a drawing as "save as", I do not get the option of "detached drawing" in the dialog box. According to teh SW help file, I should have this option. Can anyone help me discover waht I am doing wrong?
