Electric Mini-Motor Design

I am in the designing stage on a new tool. This tool utilizes 6 small AC electric motors. These motors will have a gear attached, (32 teeth, max. 1" Dia.)
Two of these motors will move a plate (approx. weight >10 lbs.) along a RACK for 6 Ft. The motors will be located on opposite sides of t

Thermal States in Materials

I am trying to get clarity on the distinctions that exist in descriptions of thermal properties of materials.

In the field of composites, particularly vinylester epoxies cured at room temperature, there is a "transition threshold", a temperature at which the properties of the epoxy change a

Water Tube Boiler Jerk Load

We have a 2700 square feet water tube boiler d type running on natural gas and in winters it is run on solid fuel like wood and rice husk 150 psi running pressure. The problem is that we require steam sporadically and the pressure falls when there is jerk load. This only happens 3-4 times a day

Motor KW Increased

We have 4650 KW ( SIEMENS) Slip ring Induction motor (Ball Mill) taking input of 6.3 KV and have Liquid starter. When the mill run under normal condition it take 4475 to 4525 KW. But from previous two days (approx 42 Hours) its load remain between 5060 to 4615 KW (Feed to the Ball Mill is normal).

Wrinkle Formation

We are hot forming the spherical dome of R170 & Thk 7.5. Dome is having S.F. 60mm. We have taken blank dia.600mm. The major problem we are facing is heavy wrinkles during forming. We are carrying forming in 4 stages even the problem is occuring.Dome material is alloy steel.
