I get the feeling that I may have offended Mr. Racookpe1978, I apologise for being vague.
I don't want YOU to do it for me, I want to do it myself and all I am asking for is some help as to where to begin and what I need to consider (apart from what I mentioned).
I haven't really dealt with...
Hi everyone,
I am trying to model the start-up and steady state heat transfer for a steam jacketed pump which is used to pump bitumen.
The bitumen is solid in the pump and the steam enters the jackets and heats up the bitumen via conduction. This makes it more complicated because the...
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some help with a project which involves using steam to raise the temperature of bitumen in a pump.
I'm struggling to find any information on the heat capacity of bitumen and some other heat transfer info.
Can anyone tell me the following:
Melt point?
Heat...
Hi everyone,
I am involved in a project which involves heating tar to a temperature which allows it to be pumped. I was looking for some help with the rheology of tar, for example solid temperature, melt temperature, viscosity, shear, flow and phase characteristics.
If anyone had any...
Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply!
I now have a value for BTU's/sec but I'm not sure what to do with it to find the time it takes to raise the temperature of the tar to a suitable level.
Any suggestions?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking to determine the time it takes for the viscosity of the pumpage to reduce to a suitable level to allow the pump to operate freely. The pump in question is a CP13 PP26 (API674 Direct Acting Recip.) The pump end has been fitted with steam jackets. I have limited...
