Hey, my education has been pretty complete, but the one part that I can't stand is the requirement of taking certain cultural courses before being able to graduate. I understand encouraging students to learn about other cultures in the world, but there should be something short of making them...

Charging more for tuition based merely on your chosen major seems like a bad idea. If there really is a shortage of engineers, they should be charging less so more people could afford it. Besides, any engineering major has plenty of weed-out classes to keep those who can't handle it out of the...

Well I'll know the system flow rate, there will be a flow meter, and the coolant will be 50/50 water glycol so I know the heat capacity of the coolant, so the only part left should be the temperature right? I'm just wondering the best way to measure that so I can determine the heat transferred...

Hey Guys, I'm putting together my first cooling system, it's a self contained system and I'm pretty sure I have all of the parts I'll need, but I'm not sure how to test it once its installed to verify it can remove the heat and keep the system operating at a good temperature. What I'm wondering...

If that's the exit temp of the air, then I'm pretty sure it will not remain at that temp unless it's contained in some sort of insulated vent, otherwise it will mix with the surroundings and just average out with the room temp.

Thanks, I do have another question, according to the engineering toolbox page, both pipe and tubing have actual diameters slightly larger than they are labeled(such as 3/4" pipe actually has an OD of 7/8"), so the main difference if wall thickness. If they are both type 'L', would that mean the...

I have a question about the differences between copper tubing and copper pipe. If one supplier site is selling 3/4" type 'L' copper pipe 20' lengths, and another is selling 3/4" Hard Copper tubing type 'L' 20' lengths, is there a difference in the product other than their brand? I'm asking...

The fluid is a 50/50 water/glycol mix (antifreeze), so if I'm thinking right rubber hose would work fine. The type I'm looking at currently is weather resistant EPDM tubing, mainly because of its temperature rating.

Thanks for the tips, the flow rate is constant and needs to be at 5gpm. The loop won't have any branches and the only tee connection will be for the expansion tank. Can anyone recommend a good rubber tubing? I need it in the loop because it connects the stationary section on the ground with the...

Hey, I have been told to size a pump for a closed loop system and have been trying to get the head loss calculations right, but I keep finding different references for equivalent feet of head loss from various pipe fittings and through rubber tubing, the loss for the copper pipe seems fairly...
