Seismic load, horizontal and vertical | Eng-Tips When you say "p" do you mean rho? Ev is not a resultant vertical reaction, it is a separate force in addition to any vertical reactions In software, it is common to include load combinations with (1 2+0 2Sds)D and (0 9-0 2Sds)D with seismic combinations with ELF to account for vertical seismic force I don't know why it isn't included in many examples Do these examples use full load
Effect of Molecular Weight On Compressor Performance Reference to the link, I think the reasoning on peripheral Mach number is more adequate than Molecular weight to explain the impact on the shape of performance curves A lighter gas may produce similar effect on curves (reduction of range, curve steepening effect) to that of heavy gas if both are associated to conditions with equivalent Mach numbers
Torque spec changes from nut to bolt head? | Eng-Tips In a torque spec for a typical bolt, washer and nut arrangement, is the proper torque value affected whether it is applied to the bolt head as opposed to the nut? Thanks!
Motor Starting Power Power Factor | Eng-Tips I think you have a misconception somewhere The starting current is still going to be 405 A (at full voltage) regardless of what assumptions you make about power factor The starting power factor has nothing to do with with running load kW 0 36 sounds a little high, but the difference between assuming 0 2 and 0 36 should not be too significant You need to pick a NEMA starting code in the
No of Passes | Eng-Tips The design process is an interative one, estimate the area required using a starting overall heat transfer coefficent, check tube side velocities, set number of passes for the desired velocity, check effect on the temperature difference, check effect now on heat transfer coefficient, check whether dP through tubes is okay (and if not, go to the
Relationship between axle torque and wheel torque | Eng-Tips I can see a momentary 'jerk' occuring at the steering wheel (as force is applied through the drive train) that might be caused by an initial difference in axle twist, but I also see the differential almost immediately 'cancelling out' this affect
Pinned Rolling support in Roof Truss (timber) | Eng-Tips Can anybody explain in simple terms for a truss newbie What is the difference between designing a truss with two pinned supports and designing it with one pinned and one rolling?
Is this application considered Single Shear or Double Shear? The more meaningful distinction between "single shear" and "double shear" has to do with the how the fastener fits bends within the members, how the fastener and nut collar react moments, and the effect of eccentricity These conditions affect the static strength to some degree and may affect the fatigue strength to a greater degree
Internal wind pressure | Eng-Tips So when you get a net difference between a set internal pressure and a different exterior pressure, you get a net pressure applied to the walls of the box This is not necessarily the full internal pressure effect used in ASCE 7
KW, KVA, KVAR relationship | Eng-Tips The prime mover load produces the kW Changing the VARs produced doesn't affect the engine load Correcting the power factor could cause a reduction in kW due to less cable or transformer losses with the lower current, but it is a secondary effect A bigger kW change might be possible by changing the system voltage
