I currently work with a 30% (wt) Alumina (Al2O3) slurry that has a relative hardness of 9 (mohs). This application is shear sensitive (and non-newtonian, shear thinning to be precise) and because of that we are using a DiscFlo pump. Unfortunately our system design leads to an unsustainable...
In 'Mandatory Appendix 9 - Jacketed Vessels' there is an equation to determine the maximum jacket width based on your jacket type. This value is the maximum distance between the outer radius of the shell and the inner radius of the jacket. What is the mechanical significance of this constraint...
Hi all, I have been a long time lurker and I finally have a question of my own. I am having problems with a relief system designed for a positive displacement pump. I have a proportional relief valve that is hooked to my supply tank from the discharge of my external gear pump. We set the relief...
