    Sizing a heat exchanger

    I'm an up in coming engineer yet to have taken heat transfer, and im curious how you would size a heat exchanger. I am going to start working on a project in which im going to have to size an exchanger, with help of course. Water will be entering the exchanger at approx 120*F then will need...

    In line refractometer

    I'm interested in seeing if it would be possible to use a in line process refractometer to measure or correlate an amount solids flowing through the refractometer in our process. This would be going on a sweet milk line that is approximatly 87% solids, 13% moisture, would a refractometer even...

    Head Pressure

    Ok then its a milk tank 110 feet tall shaped like a silo pumped in from the bottom :) I got it though thanks!

    Head Pressure

    How do you determine the head pressure of a line to overcomb the weight of a full silo? For example say i have a 30,000 gallon silo 210 feet tall and i need to move material into it from the bottom, what head pressure do i need to overcomb the pressure of the fluid? Isint it just a height x...

    Conductivity

    Also, what is the differnce between an NTU and FTU for turbidity, are they not the same thing? I see references to NTU/FTU being the same and some that arenot. Our turbidity measurments are below 10 NTU's

    Conductivity

    Maybe i need to clarify. The conductivity measurement we are taking is of the waste stream (cowwater) which i think is basically DI water with tiny amounts of milk/sugars still in it. The water is basically clear, yet you can still smell milk. What would be the best way to test our water for...

    Conductivity

    Hello, I have a question that ive been pondering. How does sugars and fats influence conductivity in water. Basically we have a process here where we run 30% solids milk through an evaporator and separate the milk and water to 60% solids. What happens is we have carryover of milk into the...

    black welded steel (carbon?)

    Would it be okay maintained at 425 operating temp for 8 hours?

    black welded steel (carbon?)

    Is black welded steel safe to be heated to 500*F? I don't know what grade it is heres the information i have: schedule 40 OD 6.625" ID 6.065" wall thickness .280" 12" length ASTEM A53, ASTM A733 Its under zero pressure. Thanks, Tom
