    CO2 Liquefaction

    I realize this is a common engineering problem, but after hours of searching/calculating I could use some advice. I'd like to liquefy a CO2 stream (assume 99.9% purity). 5-10 T/d, 20 bar, 40C incoming, cooling to -19.5C at 20 bar. I understand the heat transfer calcs, and it comes out to...

    Diagnosing Pressure/Flow Issues

    Hi, I'm trying to diagnose issues with an existing water distribution system, and am looking for general guidance on troubleshooting, or even specific advice. There are two storage tanks connected via bottom valves. They both feed a 3" pipe, which then splits to two distribution pumps, one for...

    Cost Increase for Classified Area

    I posted this in a different section, maybe I'll get more luck here... I'm working on the design of two separate rooms, one is class 1 div 1, the other is class 2 div 2. Right now I'm going through the design proposal (layout, flowrates, PHA, etc), however I need to understand the cost before...

    Costing for Class I or Class II Area

    Hi, I'm working on the design of two separate rooms, one is class 1 div 1, the other is class 2 div 2. Right now I'm defining the process aspects (layout, flowrates, PHA, etc), however I need to understand the cost before it gets too far along. Does anyone know of good references for...

    Piping for Pilot Plant

    I'm trying to size piping to several jacketed tanks (25L, 40L, 60L). Everything will be heated with low pressure steam, and cooled with chilled water. I calculated the approximate cooling time, and my heat transfer value U appears to be correct based on actual results from a similar tank. I...

    Flowrate and pressure control for a spray ball

    My first post, I'm having some trouble with getting the right flowrate/pressure for a spray ball. Rotating spray balls require a flowrate and pressure for optimal operation. One condition could be 10gpm/30psi, while another could be 12gpm/40psi. Is there a way to control both flowrate and...
