    (trying to find a nice ...) pentane T-s diagram (and other fluids)

    Hello, I explained in another thread my current business-hobby about various thermodynamic cycles. (see http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=262808&page=1) I would like to find a nice T-s diagram for pentane. In many papers such diagrams are given schematically. However, I would like to...

    gas cycle, rankine cycle, organic rankine cycle, kalina cycle, ...

    Hello, I have been asked an advice about waste heat to power systems (say wh2p). The available waste heat to be considered is a (dirty) gas in a temperature range between 250°C and 450°C. The useful power that could be generated would range between 2MW and 10MW. I know some examples based on...

    flowsheeting in excel, drawings + calculations

    Hello, For the holidays period, I would like to have some fun with the Excel drawing features. I am using the Excel drawing features quite a lot for representing flowsheets. Besides, I have also developped a specialised class library that I am using in Excel to calculate the flowsheets. So the...

    controlling two fans in series

    Hello, Here is a simple flowsheet: |input>|pipe1>|fan1>|filter1>|neutral point|filter2>|fan2>|pipe3>|output> In this flowsheet: - the fluid is air - the input and output are atmospheric pressure - there are two fans - there is a "neutral point", whose pressure should be close to...

    pipes, fans and filters network: any (free) software

    Hello, I have to analyse the sizing and control of a small pipe and fans and filters network. I find no fun in doing that the way I did it some years ago. Would there be some (possibily free or cheap) software available for this? The needs are rather modest. The network of pipes is a tree...

    formula for the acid dew point

    Hello, I would like to find the best available formula for the acid dew point. Composition of the flue gases would include: O2, N2, CO2, SO2, HCl . Thanks

    Electricity from air at 250¦C

    Hello, I am going back to the basics with my question: - let us assume we have flue gas at 250°, - let us assume its composition is nearly that of air, - let us assume the cold source is at 25°C, - let us finally assume this stream carries an enthalpy-power of 10 MW (calculated from 250°C to...

    How to: FileSearch on a Remote catalog or server ?

    I developed a useful excel add-in: - it helps maintain custom document properties - it can search files (xl, doc, ...) on this basis - I used a local "Indexing service" catalog It is written in VBA, and uses the FileSearch object. Collegues would like to use it on a network...

    Exporting MSAccess reports gives poor results, suggestions?

    Access reports are very attractive but they cannot be exported in a convenient way. Therefore the only way to distribute an Access report is paper, as far as I could see. I tried exporting them to Excel and I got an awful result. I tried exporting to Word without more satisfaction. Using...

    concrete mix database

    I would like to find a concrete mix database, possibly on the www. My purpose is performing correlations between the following: - recipe (cements,water,agregates,additives,...) - properties (slump,stengths,setting time,...) I could already find a paper with about 30 recipes...

    MS Office document properties / FileSearch / pdf / dwg

    I extensively use MSOffice document properties for indexing projects documents (xls,doc,ppt)). ('custom'document properties are encoded with a home-developed screen in word/excel or ppt) I would like to extend this procedure to .pdf and .dwg files. Any suggestion on how to proceed?

    free PCA algorithm for excel ?

    Does someone know of a (free) Principal Component Analysis tool for excel. Ideally, I would prefer VBA source code (or even short fortran). I could partly do the job by calculating the correlation matrix (CORREL excel function) and diagonalisation.
