What materials allow a flux to flow at temperatures in the region of 1000C ?
Which of these materials would survive in an air atmosphere at that temperature ?
Thanks
"Figure out what your hydrotest pressure would be at the ratio of allowable stresses between room temperature and 1000 C and you'll get an idea of what you're up against."
Very good idea. Thanks.
We are talking about 10 feet of 1/4 diameter tubing here.
According to one of the articles, it takes 18 ft^3 of air at 500 PSI to have an energy of 2.2x10^6 ftlbs.
The volume of my "vessel" is 120 x 1/4^2 * pi/4 = 5.89 in^3.
5.89/(18 x 1728) x 2.2x10^6 = 416 ftlbs of energy at 500 PSI...
The volume of the "vessel" is about 200cc. It will be operating in an open field. We'll keep everyone away from it during the experiment.
310SS is OK to 1100C if the design stresses are kept down. If we run the furnace at 1100C, it should never overheat.
We can vent the furnace such that...
No, I am not kidding.
Why do I want 3 stages of compressor ? I know that intercooling the stages reduces the work that needs to be done on the air, but I need air that is hot AND pressurized, so what do I gain by intercooling ?
54 compression ratios ? I think you mean I need a pressure...
I need to build a source of high temperature, high pressure air for an experiment.
The air needs to be at a pressure of at least 400 PSI, but preferably 600 to 800 PSI.
The air needs to be hot as possible. 1000C+. (Sorry for mixing units...)
Right now I am envisioning a really high...
