    Potential checking wire for energy

    When using a Fluke T+ (or other voltmeter) to do a potential check, to make sure the circuit is dead,can any residual voltage in the circuit light the 12 volt bulb and make it stay on? I can imagine that the 12 volt light could flicker on with any residual voltage and then I imagine that it...

    Generator Stator cooling water conductivity question

    For Demin water stator cooling system Why is the conductivity lower coming back from the generator then going to the generator. Going to gen after HX and IX is about 0.13 micro Siemen/cm Coming back from gen is about 0.5 micro Siemen/cm Temp coming back is about 60 degree C Temp going to gen is...

    What is LiOD

    I am reading about the purification system of the Heat Tranport System of a CANDU reactor and I keep seeing a reference of "LiOD" It is the addition of Lithium from the IX columns to the D2O to control the PH at around 10 Does LiOD simply mean Lithium + Oxygen + Deturium ? Thanks in advance

    Inductive amp meter extension wire loop

    I wish to read the amperage of individual circuits on a main power electrical box. The individual wires in the box are a tight fit for the clamp of my inductive amp meter. Can I rig up with wire a wound loop around the wire in the box then measure the amp draw from that wire core? I realize that...

    HX coolant too fast to cool?

    Is it possible to have coolant go thru an engine too fast and have the coolant not pick up enough heat so the engine overheats? I think it would be like a simple heat exchanger. Is it possible to have the coolant go so fast that the heat exchange is lessened?

    Filling N2 Dewar

    How is the best practice of filling a 210 liter nitrogen dewar? Such as fully open vent Fully open supply Have pressure builder 1/2 open Some people have different ideas on throttling the vent valve to speed up the process. How do you do it?

    AC amp to DC amp conversion

    I notice that when I put my AC inductive ampmeter around a wire carrying DC current that I get a reading. Is there some mathematical comversion that can be done to get a ball park figure of DC current flowing thru a wire when using an AC inductive ampmeter?

    Increase transmission line voltage to over 500KV

    In Ontario Canada, why cant 500 KV transmission lines be upgraded by adding a transformer uping the voltage to lets say 700 KV with the existing lines? Instead of building a new power corridor. Is there a law that states the max voltage?

    Can snow tires be used all summer?

    Can snow tires be used in the summer for added traction? Snow tires are of a softer compound and should grip quite well. Snow tires have lots of channels for water to get out when raining. Are there any adverse effects using snow tires in the warmer weather other than the obvious rapid wear?

    prevent sludge in 2.7 engine

    I am getting an Intripid with a 2.7 liter engine. I have not seen it yet but I will be going out today to take a look at it. I read about the engines problem with oil sludge. My question is: How can I stop the sludge from happening. Additives? More oil changes? Hotter thermostat? Would a engine...
