General question regarding industry.
How is bulk material generally transported from storage to a dock for international transport? If the storage location is approximately 10 miles from the dock, is it usually trucked to the dock or transported via pipeline. I imagine for international...
I am wondering if there is a formula for fuel economy as a function of weight and common engine parameters (displacement, compression, etc.).
I am trying to determine the cost of commute to drive to a feed mill for bulk (1 ton) chicken feed.
I am a wastewater mechanical engineer acting, in part, as a chemical. I need to perform mass balance of a few treatment option for a waste stream. I have found a few free-to-download and open source software options that will help with this. Does anyone have recommendation for software to assist...
I am trying to put together a budgetary estimation for a project. As part of this estimation I need to come up with a volume of cement necessary for the foundations for a series of pumps and tanks. I have no idea where to start on this. I am assuming stable sub-grade, zero seismic activity and...
If I have 2 pumps discharging into a common header and a pulsation dampener installed in the header between where the pumps tie into the header (upstream of pump 1 but downstream of pump 2). I assume this will still have net + effect on pump 2 discharge but presumably less efficiently. Does...
So the set pressure then would be arbitrary, as long as the full flow pressure is less than the MAWV?
by "arbitrary" I mean there is no given formula....
Hello,
I am trying to size a Vacuum Relief Valve for a Chemical Storage Tank at atmospheric pressure. I have looked through API 2000 but have only found specifications for selecting flow rate, nothing to do with pressure setting. From the Emerson Pressure Relief Valve Engineering Handbook, all...
