    Polytropic efficiency for two compressors in parallel

    The performance curves will not help you much; unless you have data set that fits exactly. Is it turbine- or electrically driven? Measure T1 and T2,i (i = 1 to n). Measure the amps on both. You can now calculate the mass flow and polytropic efficiency of each. The overall efficiency is the...

    Channeling velocity

    Hi People Any rules of thumb for channeling velocities in packed columns? Thanks remove.marius@mailbox.co.za

    Minimum Flow to Lift a Check Valve

    I think that the check valve will be opened by pressure as opposed to flow. Whether the flow is sufficient to keep the check valve open is another question though. If you are not too concerned with on/off flow then you could probabbly just go ahead and install it. A better idea could be to...

    Fan Not Responding to Increase in Static Pressure

    Your question is vague and therefore it raises more questions. Is the fan on an electrical drive? How far above its surge point is the fan operated? Have you checked the control system? Is the control system over-damped? Do you have anti-surge control in place? Is the valve drifting? and...

    Benfield Loheat Process

    In this process you are, presumably, using potassium carbonate with vanadium inhibitor and DEA in tandem. Are you having difficulty with the project or with the start-up? What is your problem? Describe... remove.marius@mailbox.co.za

    Control Valve Design

    Hi there Here is a pointer: the Cv of a valve tells you how many gallons per miniute will flow through a valve to give you one PSI pressure drop. Let's say you have a valve that you want to have a 50 PSI pressure drop when the flow is 200 GPM water at its operating point. The Cv that you'd want...

    Hydrogen peroxide production

    Hi there EGT01 I have probably gone throug about a 100 of those 163,000. If you want we an replace this forum with a Google search button and then you (I mean people who know everything, like you) can all go home and boast to your pals...and thanks to unclesyd for a useful answer...

    Hydrogen peroxide production

    Hi there colleagues Does anyone have a short process description for H2O2? I also need to know what types of catalysts are used and so on to check the feasibility of making the stuff here in the Republic of SA. Thanks and regards Marius remove.marius@mailbox.co.za

    fluid speed vs pressure

    oxilume That is one of the best explanations I've heard in all my life. The fact that it is so simple that any everyday person can understand it underlies its genius and therefor the depth of your understanding of the subject. Well done! remove.marius@mailbox.co.za

    Can someone check my work, please?

    IRstuff A colleague of mine told me recently that your people (meaning aerospace) had accellerated a photon beyond c. Perhaps you are aware of this? From what he told me it seems that a photon possesses a certain duality, consisting of two equal parts with opposite spin (I think these are...
