    Q=mCdT vs UdT

    Hello friends, I am trying to calculate the required Q for a double jacket 10m3 vessel heated by a small boiler. If I do the Q=mcdt equation it turns out 500 kg,60 degC difference about 30+Kw. How ever If I calculate the resistance of heating the water,convection to and throught the copper...

    IBC Filling Stand

    Hello friends, I need to fill EXACT weight in many 1000L plastic tanks (IBC). To do it I need to pump from one IBC into another. I have a pump to do that, but I have to control the filling. SO I was thinking about a movable filling post (submerged into a concrete bucket/cut drum). The...

    Balance Point

    Hello friends, Need your advice regarding a balance point: A 24L bucket (D=0.3m,H=0.34m) is to be filled with concrete. A 2.4m profile (50mm*50*2) is to be placed into the bucket before it solidifies. I intend to place a chemical identification sign at the top (or another height). The...

    Sprinkler system calculation

    Hello Friends, I need to calculate sprinkler LPMM (LPM per 1 meter) spraying capacity. I know that that we have 12rows*13 units/row =156 units for 1200 M2 of storage. I also know that the pressure in the sprinkler piping system is 11-12 bar. Water is provided from 1000M3 tank by a 6'' pipe...

    Gear pump vibrations

    Hello Friends, I have a 2'' 100LPM gear pump, I used it to transfer lubricant additives from the drum to a mixing tank. I connect the pump to a piping system by a flexible plastic tube. I want to change this tube to a stiffer hose and my concern is that because pump has vibrations this new...

    foam presence during windscreen production

    Hello friends, I have a question for you: We produce a windscreen fluid in a 4m3 storage tank. A centrifugal pump(100-600 LPM) pumps the liquid into a 1m3 tank that feeds the filling machine. When a 1m3 tank is empty, the pump works to fill the tank. It is then, the foam is produced, lots of...

    AIR REMOVAL

    Hello friends, I fill IBC by using a gear pump that is connected to 2'' CS pipes. Sometimes I have trapped air within the system, it may come from various sources but the fact is that it happens. Is there a unit that can be introduced that releases the air? It makes so much noise and not...

    Heat transfer calculation

    Hello friends, I have a drum heating stove (hot air, known Q and speed). I use it do heat viscous materials. I am trying to write a heat transfer formula to use in excel that can correlate between heating temp and heating time of the stove to material temp that is inside the drum. My task is to...

    delivery pipe

    Hello, I have a 2'' gear pump. Is it ok to use a 3'' delivery pipe or will it effect the Q because of less pressure? Best Regards Roman Katz

    Pump overload

    Hello, I have a 500 CST flexy tank oil that I have tried to pump to a near tank(2.5'' 9 m flexible pipe, 2.2 KW 1450 rpm 2'' 3 phaze gear pump). After 200 L the pump went off. It overheats and shuts down. When it is warmer outside it performes well. My problem is that when I calculate...
