    flow performance test

    I didn't really lose interest. I just see that my question has been answered (sort of) I can't conduct a physical test. (smoke, differential pressure....) From the answers that I got I conclude that it cannot be tested as a computer simulation without spending a great deal of money. It was not...

    flow performance test

    I'm not concerned for the stale bread, it's just so hot that working in there is torture. I'll just have to get use to the hot house. Anyway, you answered my question. There is no way to calculate the airflow on this without physically doing it with smoke or differential pressure. I would...

    flow performance test

    I guess that I didn't explain it very well. Getting money from management for improvements is like trying to pull their teeth! A fan, velometer, smoke test, or additional spinner vents on the roof are not an option As you can see by the picture, the vent is a ridiculous design. The 'keep the...

    flow performance test

    If your modified louvers let in any rain, then you will probably hear about it I'll take that risk. The product that risks rain damage is stale bread. We make thousands of loaves of fresh bread each day. We also get back hundreds of loaves that the stores didn't sell that's getting close to...

    flow performance test

    Management has not allocated for me do research this. I'm doing this by stealth. I would like to show them on paper how they can greatly improve things without spending any money. (A top priority for them) It cost virtually nothing to drill out the pop rivet heads that keep the louvers in place...

    flow performance test

    At work we have a metal shed that sits in full sun. We cut windows (no glass just open holes about 1 x 1 meter) in it to improve ventilation. However the holes had to have louvers in order to keep the rain out. Vermin was also a problem. wire mesh had to cover the 1x1 meter hole. The louvers...

    I would do two things with this: 1. Make a graph of force vs. angle as the "box" is pushed and rotated around the corner. Force will decrease as CG reaches tipping point. Excel is great for this. You may want to make a series of graphs for various contact points. 2. Calculate the amount of...

    top heavy

    "This question would be more appropriate in the Structural Engineering forum" Thank you. I'll do that after I have done a bit of homework. I.E. What are the dimensions of my pallet rack? What is the weight of the heaviest pallet? What is the maximum moment of the column?

    I thought of the legs buckling as well. (not as in depth) I would be prepared to add cross bracing. Our rack is taller and has 3 shelves. I want to remove the bottom shelf so that I can park product under it. Note the blue bracing will be different to the green bracing. I will anchor down the...

    This is a pallet rack problem We have racks similar to the one in the link I want to remove the bottom shelf so that we can park things under the pallet rack. I'm told that this isn't allowed and wasn't given a reason. I assume it is because the rack will become top heavy. I want to make...

    I'm trying to calculate this. I have forgotten how. Will somebody please give me a link that explains how to do this? This link explains what I'm trying to do http://content.screencast.com/users/dchristensen777/folders/Default/media/38f510cb-d2a2-4385-8ad5-1d52af69d60b/tip%20over.png
