    What exactly is a puddle flange?

    I am examining an application where a pipe running through an underground pit has a puddle flange joining the pipes within the pit wall. My understanding is that the puddle flange will prevent the passage of liquid from one side of the wall to the other (external to the pipe). However a...

    Heat Gain in liquid being pumped

    Is it possible to determine the heat gain in a liquid due to the action of the pump through which it is being pumped? Is there a rule of thumb to determine this? Any help appreciated.

    Calculate Heat gain in a fluid from pump

    A colleague of mine has asked if there is a simple rule of thumb to determine the heat gain in a liquid being pumped. i.e. what temperature rise occurs in a liquid due to being pumped at x gal/min through a pump of y hp? Any help appreciated.

    safe distance from a steam pipe that ruptures

    A likely way to get a burn is not so much a pipe rupture, but a pressure relief device activating properly and flooding an area with steam. It's tempting to write "Vent to safe location" on a drawing and forget about it. Apologies if this has been raised previously! Philbob

    Solubility of Oxygen in Acetone

    25362 Many thanks for responding to my query, however, I was wondering if there is already published information on the solubility of oxygen in acetone, as we are examining future use of acetone, rather than dealing with an wxisting system Philbob

    Solubility of Oxygen in Acetone

    Can anybody help me on this one? I need to determine the solubility of oxygen (in air) in Acetone. The only information I have on Acetone is its Solubility parameter and Polarity, which may be useful if I compare acetone to a more well known solvent (Water), and scale accordingly, although...
