Looking for some help on sizing the shaft diameter for a winch drum. I've worked the equation attached from Shigley and Mischke Mech Eng Design, but the shaft size seems pretty large for the application.
Anybody have any experience designing drive shafts for winches and/or know other...
Hello,
Is there a quick version or rule of thumb version of calculating gas velocities in a gas well flow back line? There are so many variable, that if changed slightly can really change all of the calculations.
Just curious if someone has a quick and dirty calculation to get approximate...
Hello,
Does anybody have any experience with sizing sand separators (a.k.a. Sand Knockouts or desanders) and what calculations are needed?
Assuming a well flowing back at 10,000 psi, 100 deg F, 75 MMSCFD, 7 lbs/hr sand. These are arbitrary numbers, just trying to get an idea of what we need.
I'm looking at designing a utility transmission line pulling unit and am curious if anybody knows calculations used to determine the capstan sizing (number of wraps, bullwheel sizing, hydraulic gearmotor sizing, etc.) for a certain amount of pulling force?
See picture attached of a common...
Does anybody know the material properties of various types of steel piping? Looking for the yield stresses for seamless carbon or stainless pipes.
Looking for this to calculate hoop stress. Specifically using the hoop stress in a drum barrel in DnV's 2.22 (JUNE 2013: PAGE 51) reference...
I know this has probably been discussed before, but I am looking for the correct equations to calculate the stresses on a drum, drum barrel, and drum flanges as the number of layers of rope increase, and the pulling force increases during operation.
Back story is I am designing a transmission...
