I am evaluating mag drive centrifugal pumps for circulating hot KOH (typically 20-45% at ambient to 195F). Flow is thru a filter/strainer and then an in-line heater. Flow rate to be around 4-6 gpm. Submerged suction. I have to eliminate PP pump bodies becuase of the high temperature and can't...

Thanks! Got it.

It is in fact a small 56-C 3-phase AC induction motor. A normal size, although the smallest normally available. I am wondering if the "TS" means it is a "soft start" motor (whatever that is). I was told not to use a standard motor with this pump (it has a magnetic coupling - that might break...

Can anyone tell me what "Type TS" means on the name-plate of a 1/3hp 3-phase electric motor (used for a pump). I thought "Type T" was for 3-phase.

When I open a SW file, my dialog box has a column for the component's "Comments" property, which can be very useful in looking for a file if the file name is non-descriptive. But for some reason, only some parts show the comment there (at least the first line). other files show blank there (even...

Thanks - that message turned off location was exactly what I needed.

I'm looking for help. In the past when I have opened an assembly and a part contained within has been moved to a different folder not on the reference path list, it comes up surpressed on the feature manager tree - but when I click on it to unsupress it or to open it I get a dialog box that...

This is what I decided to buy; The new i7 920 2.66GHz processor, 3Gb DDR3 1600MHz RAM, matching motherboard, Quadro FX1700 graphics. Running with XP32. I'll let you know how it performs when I get it next week.

From your advice searching around, here is what I am seeing as an answer to my question; Buy a built up system, but not necessarily Dell or HP (like maybe XiComputer). Stick with XP32 OS, Core Duo E8500 processor, and 4G DDR2 Ram(but get a motherboard able to handle at least 8G for future...

Another question - to be more specific. Is a dual core (or quad core) any advantage (do they even make single core anymore) for non-photoshop SW use? How about 64 bit operating systems vs 32 bit?

I have an almost 5 year old Dell 350 workstation that I have been lucky to have used wihout much trouble all this time. Quick specs are a P4 2.4Ghz, 1.5G RAM, Quadro4 900XGL grahics, dual flat monitors. I'd like to spend about or under $2k for a new system (minus monitors). I don't need the...

Thanks for the reply Siretb, The figures you show for heat of dilution look way to large. Did you make an error there? I have a figure of 13.8kcal/mol for total solution heat. If you take your figure of 2500 kcal/mol and multiply by 8,000 mols you get 20,000,000 kcal (not 20,0000 you show). That...

I am trying to calculate the temperature rise that will ocuur when I take 45% KOH solution and dilute it (with water) to a 20% (weight) solution. I have found figures of 1020J/g Heat of Solution, but I can't figure out how to apply this to the partial dilution occuring during 45% to 20%. I found...

Thanks both of you. Cor, I am on 2007 and have reasons for now not to update, but it is good to know that feature will be there when I do. Handleman, your solution is a good one -and thanks for making the model to explain it. This is pretty much what I am doing so I will use that technique for...

I am trying to make grooves in a part model, to simulate an actual part being machined with a tapered end mill that has a flat bottom. I want to experimant with the shapes of grooves I can get into my part by playing with the taper angle and the cutter path and the orientation of the cutter...
