    HMEL replied to the thread Which Spindle coolant to use?.
    Depends on how you cool the water. I would be tempted to modify a air conditioner for that service and use a glycol with a rust...

    HMEL replied to the thread Direct drive vs. geared flywheel?.
    Flywheels are used to store inertial energy to help balance engine vibration and force the crank past a dead center point. It smooths...

    I would be tempted to reverse the angle iron to open up the air flow area and get rid of the dead spots where ash can accumulate. And...

    There is a part of this story that is missing. It deals with the economics of standards and who sets them. The standards are often...

    HMEL replied to the thread Monotube Flash Boiler Design.
    The ph diagram in english units shows critical temperature at 532 abs lbs/ f in2 and temperature of 382 F. Given the high heat flux...

    HMEL replied to the thread Monotube Flash Boiler Design.
    Except water will remain a liquid and the R123 will be a gas. But a more common example is the heat transfer difference between water...

    HMEL replied to the thread Monotube Flash Boiler Design.
    You will be dealing with gas flow. The probability is high because of the sharp turns in the assembly choke flow will occur and flow...

    HMEL replied to the thread Monotube Flash Boiler Design.
    K2 is absolutely correct. R123 heat of vaporization is about 70 btu/lb while that of water is 800 btu/lb give depending of course on...
