    Centrifuge Emissions

    I don't know how you would capture the splashed material but I can help you with the vapors. Ignore the solids content and calculate the mole fraction of each liquid species in the slurry (Sum of all mole fractions should add up to 1). You'll then need to determine the vapor pressure of each...

    Diesel Vapor Lock - Vapor Pressure?

    I don't know the exact number, but, I can tell you that the vaper pressure of #2 fuel oil is extremely, extremely low! I agree completely with MJCronin. Your problem is likely due to friction losses as this is a very viscous material. Wayne

    Flow Rate Calculations

    John, You should start your own thread. In it you should also state the length of the channel you are constructing as well as whether it will be concrete, grass, gravel, dirt, etc. I'm assuming that the depth you are concerned with is the depth at the very beginning of the channel (drain)...

    I don't know about caustic but I do know that for sulfuric acid, high fluid velocities will degrade the protective oxide coatings that form in pipes leading to increased corrosion.

    Sampling Molten Mixture in Tank

    I have a mixture of two chemicals coming off of a column to a holding tank. This is batch process where the stream is predominately Chemical #1 initially and toward the end of the run Chemical #2 predominates. I need to sample the stream so that I know the ratio of the two chemicals in the...
