    Noise of air released to atm.

    Sizing a psv on a pump discharge line

    With all things I have done as an engineer, I have never sized a psv. This psv is on the discharge of a 2x1 centrifugal pump that circulates hot water in a closed system to provide heat to a couple of jacketed vessels then back to and through a small hydronic boiler. Temp of product is 45...

    avalanche baffle design in a tumbler

    My co. charges their tumblers with 40mm size styrofoam balls, coats them (spray)with an epoxy and then some sort of fiber...all designed to increase the density to a specified point. What would be considered a "best" design for the subject baffles to assure a thorough coating of epoxy and...
