Dear fellow members,
A little background:
I'm a pretty much new mechanical engineering currently working for the Oil & Gas Industry. I don't have much experience yet - I would say about 2 years of experience in both equipment design (both pressure vessels and heat exchangers) and some projects...
Hello,
I've been wondering whether estimating the pressure downstream a needle valve is possible, with given data.
I've attached the schematic to this post.
The fluid is lubricating oil, and the pipe material is SS with SCH 10s.
Since the valve is manually operated, I'm finding a way to...
Hello!
I've been looking into the Supacooler and Rotocooler technology. However, I can't help but wonder how to guarantee an airline supply to one of these products without it getting entangled, while the machine is rotating in two axis.
You can take a look at how it works here...
Greetings,
I would like to ask a question that has been bugging me for a few days.
I believe UHX-1 defines the minimum requirements for Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers. I'm guessing this means that for Air Cooled Heat Exchangers, the procedure of tubesheet design doesn't necesarily have to be...
Hello,
I'm currently evaluating a pressure vessel design.
Most relatively small pressure vessels in the refinery, usually have two lifting lugs welded directly to the 2:1 elliptical head.
If these accessories were welded to vessel shell, WRC-107 would be applicable, in order to evaluate...
Hello,
I'm currently evaluating the nozzle neck minimum thickness required by the ASME Section VIII Div. 1 code.
We are intending to weld directly a welding neck raised face flange directly to the vessel. The pipe thickness specified for the pipeline is 0.28 in, having considered already 3 mm...
