Definitive Criterion for Cathodic Protection

A paper was presented at two conferences in Brazil last year saying that there is now a definitive criterion for cathodic protection that makes it possible to calculate if corrosion has stopped. The present criteria cannot be computerised as the half-cell is not used as a reference electrode in eit

What's a Better Spring Shape?

The image below shows a part I am trying to create, it is in effect a square internal circlip. I have envisaged this as 2 square bars held apart by 2 wire form springs. I've drawn these springs with a simple loop but I'm wondering if there is a better shape to ensure that the arms of the springs rem

Axial Flux Coils for Stator

I have coils that I have taken out of micro wave transformers ,one coil is fine wire the other is 14gauge and they are wound very tight and I would like to use the 14ga coils in a axial flux alternator but they are larger than the Hugh Piggot design so the magnets need to be larger or multiple . I a

Sun Shade Requirement for Field Instrument

hi all i wanted to know the actual and exact difference betwwen API 2000 and API 2210. both are used for flame arrestors. all i could make out is API 2000 is used for petroleum as well as cyrogenic liquids with some range of pressure which is not mentioned in case of PIS 2210. any help will be accp

Heat Exchangers and Baffles

How does the baffle cut & centre to centre between the baffles affects the heat exchanger design?

Also is it possible that the the pressure drop on the tube side can be reduced by changing the baffle cut or centre-to-centre dimension for the baffles without changing any other parameter

Unit of Hydraulic Resistance

hi,

i wanted to know,

What is the unit of hydraulic resistance?

and

If an electric system is related to hydraulic system:

Voltage drop will correspond to pressure drop.

Current will correspond to flow.

Then what will resistance correspon

AM_JIS Drawing Template in AutoCAD

I had been attending AutoCAD Training Classes. (I am a novice). I started out using AM_JIS template to open a new drawing and finding them convenient, have gotten used to it. However, the present classes I attend do not have this template in AutoCAD 2007 or 2009. The instructor tried vainly to searc
