I saw Alex Matveeff posting on here. Would you get in touch with me?
I'm evaluating between AutoPIPE, CAEPIPE and PASS to determine what's most user friendly. I'm new to this pipe stress but am tired of waiting on consultants.
I have also emailed your software company.
Thanks for running that IRstuff. I'll try to download Mathcad and take a gander.
I'm doing the calcs by hand using my heat transfer text, trying to get a rough estimate.
So from your calculation even though the pipe is a dry head the lowest surface temperature of the pipe in the chamber will...
Hello guys, sorry for the poor problem scope. Here's a simplified version of the problem. I'm leaning towards a cylindrical fin with an adiabatic tip but would like some feedback as I'm really rusty with heat transfer.
So a bit of background.
The chamber is at 104F and the 3 feet of sprinkler...
Here's a problem I have at work and I was hoping someone could help me out. I haven't had to do a serious heat transfer problem since college.
A stability chamber that maintains a constant 104F 80% RH room has sprinklers serving it.
The 1" sprinkler pipe extends down into the room by about...
This is not a good design dumping outside air into the room and making the classroom a mixing box but for the sake of answering the question here were my thoughts.
Hmmm I thought this was a simple draw a line from the outdoor air point to the cclt point on the psych chart but what I'd do for...
Anyone know where I can get information on the degree days for Moscow, Russia?
I've tried googling it but have not found anything yet.
I'd like to run dry coolers for free cooling and I'd like to get an idea of how mnay months that would work for me.
Well as far as I know the service will be metered and the gas company will be providing the regulator for 14" w.c.
The equipment also has separate regulators.
First thanks for the reply.
1) Would you cite me the code that says 1" w.c. drop for under 2lb?
2) Going to 5psi line requires additional permits which the powers that be do not care to do so we're stuck with using 14" w.c.
Thanks again for looking at this.
As an aside, the gas tables all do...
I have a few questions on gas pipe sizing and pressure drop.
The total load is 20,000 CFH with an equivalent length of 400 feet, gas pressure is 14" W.C. and minimum operating pressure for the equipment is 10" W.C.
Using the formulae for gas pressure I find that with 0.5" W.C. drop, I would use...
I am trying to figure out what the heat gain would be for a 250kVA transformer.
I have done several searches here and thru google and have not found corroborating info on the calculation.
One site calculates the heat gain as:
Heq = PeqK1K2 (W)
where
Heq = heat transferred from electrical...
Thanks for the replies.
Chasbean1 that's the kind of info I was looking for. I will check into that Animal lab reference.
The stairwell pressurization w/ ventilated vestibule on every floor is something I will have to check into to see if it's necessary in this kind of building but I am not...
I was wondering if someone would be able to suggest reference books/guides on how to design HVAC for a 6 story animal lab building. What codes and standards would apply?
Thanks for any responses.
Hello everyone. Can someone help me by directing me to a reference for air changes for large warehouses?
A typical warehouse would be 500,000 square feet and 30 feet high with many dock doors.
I have tried calculating the infiltration using the crack method but I read somewhere that for larger...
Is the external static pressure to be 2" w.g.? By external I mean everything from the supply to the return of the unit.
I am not sure what you are asking so rather than try to answer and look stupid I'll just wait for some clarification. :)
