Bonding Aluminum 7075

I am trying to find a braze or soldering compound to join two "hockey pucks" of 7075 aluminum together. The 7075 has a melting point of 1175F, and there are holes in the pucks that need to maintain their integrity, so it needs to be a low temperature. I will be using a small annealing oven as the he

Drip Leg Design

Hi Everyone,

What would be the possible effects on energy loss of a drip leg design as described below.

1. The steam mains are 12 inches in diameter and the drip leg diameters are only an inch.
2. Drip legs are not insulated and the drip leg length is 13 ft.
3. Thermodynamic steam

Magnetic Flowmeter

Hi,

Can any one explain the difference between " Center-Line Method" and " Mean Axial Velocity Method" for adjusting the probe of the insertion type magmeter. Which one is preferred and for what reason?

Detecting a Missing Pulse Using a PIC16F873A

I am relatively new to PIC assembly code and need to monitor a pulse stream on a single port testing a bank of relay contacts, the pulse rate is very slow at about 500ms mark space. All I need to do is monitor the pulse stream to detect any missing pulses and then jump to a failure routine I have al

Opearions of Heat Exchanger Unit

Hi guys, we have just installed a heat exchanger unit on one of our ruthenium distillation processes to cool down the vapour coming out of a 100^oC reactor temperature. The cooiling water used is at 18^oC-23^oC. The unit (HE) that was used is HEC450 which can withstand temperature difference of 95^o

Temperature Rise Test

I tested temperature rise of 16 kva single phase copper wound(wound core) transformer whose temperature rise was greater than 35 deg.cent. it was about 41 deg cent.plz suggest me what are the reasons by which transformer fails in temperature rise test?

Concrete Slab Questions–Revisited

A few weeks ago I posted a question about the load bearing capacity of a slab floor on a bldg. I'm considering using as a warehouse. Thanks to prompting of this forum, I actually found the blueprints for the building (1920!)

The rebar configuration is called Spiral Mushroom Reiforcement--bas

Centrifugal Gas Compressor

does any one know a manufacturing company for Centrifugal gas compreesor, two satges. First stage with flow rate of 100mmSCFD & the second stage is with flow rate of 150mmSCFD. I contacted Dresser Rand, Rolls Royce, GE-Nuovo Pignone , Solar Turbine, and Elliot. All of them have declined except S

Acid proof hard floor

I am working for a lead acid battery industry. In my factory floor due to electrolyte (diluted sulfuric acid) spillage and 2500 kg loaded hand pallet-truck movement floor eroding is inevitable. I have already tried floor epoxy, tiles and asphalt but failed due to loaded pallet-truck and feet of the

3 Basic Steps to Avoid Joining a Botnet

Banging the drum for security awareness never gets old. As much as CSOs try to get folks to bone up on safe practices (both online and in the office), there are always going to be some who need reminding.

Online, the biggest battle these days is against botnets: networks of infected computers w

determination

what is determination on wall thickness of pipe vs rating?

any standard refer to this.

e.g: wall thk (< Sch.40) can only stand up to 150# rating.

electrostatic type air cleaner needed.

Is there any way to cheaply make an electrostatic air cleaner, other than placing 2 television screens a few inches apart and blowing air through them? My wife is going nuts in our house. We have decent air filters in the central air unit, which is not running right now anyway, due to my use of a bi
