    Weather Tight Ventilator

    Louver for HVAC? No, you need to demonstrate to the regulatory body that is meets their requirements. Is this USCG? You should be aware that the first 10 feet beyond the louver should be stainless steel duct or at least sheathed/clad in Stainless. This isn't a requirement, just a best practice.

    Shipyard Blocks

    This is a very common calculation in naval architecture. Inputs to the calculation are the hull lines, a longitudinal weight distribution, a longitudinal strength report/drawing/analysis. This is when it is easiest to break the ship, by the way. The rough rule of thumb for ships is that 80%...

    Finding vertical CG of a large box structure

    This might be too late, but it sounds like you want to perform an inclining experiment, like we do when we build ships. We have to experimentally determine the VCG for stability purposes. For something like this, there is a precedure for inclining the object in the air. You will need to know...

    Do Self Priming Pumps have a negative NPSHR?

    This is rather basic question, but if there is an application where the pump is located above the tank containing the fluid, then the pump must be self priming, right? So the NPSHR of that pump is a negative number, right? So the NPSHA needs to be a less negative number than the NPSHR of the...

    Question: Constraining a ship FEA

    What type of stress result are you looking for? Since you have a global model, I assume you are looking for primary longitudinal stresses? If you wanted hydrostatics, you could do a smaller panel ny panel method, right Assuming you are looking for a longtudinal bending type response...
