Hi Everyone,
25362's suggested article by Ganapathy for determining heat transfer rates in FT and WT boilers has been a huge help (thanks 25362!). I have been trying to work through the model equations suggested by Ganapathy for analyzing the performance of my own FT Boiler. However, in...
Hi Art,
Thanks for the reply. Presently, we have a prototype firetube boiler in our plant. I am trying to calculate the rate of heat transfer that can be achieved between the fire in the tubes to the water. I would like this to assess the maximum steam output from the current boiler...
Good Morning,
I am trying to calculate the Overall Heat Transfer Coefficienct (U) for a vertical firetube boiler. The boiler contains 61 (1.875" diameter) firetubes and is surrounded by a water jacket.
Can someone provide some input on how I can calculate U?
Thank you,
SJ
Greetings,
Thanks to everyone for your input.
Skogsgurra I was hoping you could clarify something for me. You said that I shouldn't expect much torque to be transmitted to my conveyor shaft because of the inefficiency of the worm gear. So, if my full load torque is 36 inch lbs (based on 1...
Hello Everyone,
I am hoping someone can clarify some basic issues regarding motor operation for me.
I have a conveyor that has installed on it 1 HP/1750 RPM 3 phase motor with a 40:1 Gear Reducer. I also have installed an inverter to vary the conveyor speed between 5 – 20 RPM. Is it correct...
