Hi,
I'm sizing a natural gas line that feeds a combustion blower. There is an Eclipse Engineering Guide that I found online that shows some tables for pressure drop in the line at varying flows. It also states:
Air, gas and mixture piping systems should be sized to deliver flow at a uniform...
Hello,
Is there a good reference for standard engineering drawings/schematics, or really like a template on how and what order they should be done? For instance, what is all the information that should be included in a P&ID? How do we define pipe specs, and what does that look like? I was told...
I'm trying to find some good material to learn more about pipe routing and supporting structures within a pipeline. For instance, if I have a large pump with a heavy filter after it, what's a "best practice" way to route the piping? How do I design a good support that gives maintenance access to...
Thanks to everyone for your responses. My situation is related to the initial transient point. We have a liquid we need to unload through a hose and pipe to one of our tanks. I'm trying to figure out if there's a chance it could freeze somewhere in the line. I've done the calculations with a...
I was doing a heat calculation for fluid going through a steel pipe using internal convection of the fluid, conductivity through the pipe, and external convection to surrounding air... then I started to wonder: why do we usually neglect the heat capacity of the pipe itself? I've never seen this...
Is there a good way to estimate the air temperature inside an enclosure? I have a section of pipe I'd like to cover in a "box". I have a fluid flowing through the pipe at about 175 F, and I'd like to see if I can at least keep the temperature at 170 F without any additional heating, just some...
I recently found out that one of my process chemicals may be incompatible with an o-ring based on general chemical compatibility charts. What exactly does this mean? Could it cause a reaction, or does it just mean the o-ring could swell/rupture, etc.?
I'm trying to figure out if I can get away with using 3/8" copper tube to trace some carbon steel pipes. The pipes are 1". The temperature range I'm hoping to maintain is between 180 - 190 F. Our steam supply comes from a 10 psig boiler. The line length isn't terribly long, maybe about 20 ft...
I'm trying to understand how to tune a controller. The one I have is PI. I've searched some videos online where it talks about getting the Process Gain, as opposed to the Controller Gain. Is there a way for me to determine the Process Gain without messing with the Controller Gain? Or is there...
