Any engineer experience and thoughts on the following would be helpful.: I am wondering about the relative merits of using thermally conductive tape (specifically 8805, 8810, 8815 and 8820) for interfacing CPUs. I know that the tape is commonly used for smaller electronic devices like mosfets...

I am the lead design and manufacturing engineer for a start-up company. I do not have a PE. I have my BSME and EIT credentials as well as 2 years of Civil Engineering (Project Engineering) experience and about 6 months experience as a Materials Handler Design Engineer, designing industrial...

I don't know about belts for a generator, but when you design for materials handling the belts are rated for up to 150% of the nominal tension for short periods of time (i.e. start-up). So you might find out whether standard practice dictates that they can take a specific start-up torque or...

Thanks everyone that explains everything I need to know.

I have a BSME and EIT credentials. As I understand it the manufacturing industry is exempt to require PEs for engineering and research and development in connection with the manufacture of products. My analysis above is likely too simplistic though. Let me give you an example of what I am...

I was hoping that some who are practicing PEs could help me to understand in a general sense when a PE endorsement is needed. I am a Mechanical Engineer. I have a couple years of experience working for the DOT & Public Facilities as a Project Engineer. I also have some time working as a...

My question is quite basic I think. I am designing an apparatus whose function is to work metal by means of steam and or abrasives. I am trying to figure out the required energy input so I can figure out the working pressures and temperatures that I will need to design for. I believe that the...

moltenmetal: I guess I kind of coupled all of the energy required to get the hydrogen to its end use "hydrogen generation", that wasn't exactly correct. I agree with your analysis. Really the order that things have to happen in general is, 1) We have to add a substantial portion of Nuclear...

OWG Your numbers seem pretty plausible without going over them. However, as I stated before, mass for mass hydrogen has more energy content than gasoline. Once people understand that a bigger volume doesn't necessarily mean larger weight I think people will be alright with it. At least I...

moltenmetal said, "Though none of the proposed schemes I've seen for this purpose are actually technically feasible, that doesn't mean that someone won't come up with a feasible scheme in the future." Just recently, Idaho National Laboratory was able to show that HTE (High Temperature...

I have been reading that hydrogen production, when coupled to a high temperature gas-cooled reactor, can increase "typical electrolysis efficiencies" by "45% to 50%". The following question is meant to encite opining. Why isn't this fact being touted more, in so far as advertisement to the...
