What is negative boosters used in traction?

negative boosters are used in the return path of traction system

It is to decrease the voltage of the return path and to ensure that the return path voltage is much closer to ground potential

How do you calculate heat duty?

The simplest way to calculate the requirement of duty if you know the mass flowrate of one stream and the temperature difference (heating or cooling) you would like. For example if one wants to heat 5 gallons/hr Tri Ethylene Glycol (TEG) from 225 to 325 degrees F. Now, 5 gallons = 5*0.1556 = 0.78ft3 using density of 8.8lb/ft3 = 0.78(ft3)*8.8(lb/ft3) = 6.85lbs. 1. Find out the Heat Capacity (Cp) for TEG at 225 deg C = 0.6Btu/lb.F 2. Calculate Duty Q = m.Cp.dT = 6.85(lb)*0.6(Btu/lb.F)*(325-225)(F) =410.7Btu Answer: For heating 5 gallons per hour TEG from 225 to 325 F, the duty required is 411Btu/hr.

How do you align conveyor belt?

First I will describe a simple conveyor. We have 1 idler roller which is free turning and fixed into position with no adjustments. Then 1 power roller which moves the belt and has adjustments on both sides of the roller.

The initial setup would be to adjust the power roller towards the idler roller as far as possible. Install the belt so that it is centered as possible. Adjust the power roller away from the idler roller as evenly as possible to get enough tension on the belt that the power roller will drive it.

The next step will be to track the belt. The object is to adjust the power roller so that the belt stays centered. Turn on the power. If the belt goes to the right side of the conveyor, adjust the left side adjustment back towards the idler roller until it centers and stabilizes, or vice versa.

What do you see as the short term business priorities in your current position as a process plant chief operator?

As a process fuels plant engineer my short business priorities:are:

continuous improvement in proces plants to ensure sustainability of the plants

re-stream Linear Akly Benzene plant and Lubes process plants to provide kero and touelene

Why the mild steel have two yield points?

Low carbon steels suffer from yield-point runout where the material has two yield points. The first yield point (or upper yield point) is higher than the second and the yield drops dramatically after the upper yield point. If a low carbon steel is only stressed to some point between the upper and lower yield point then the surface may develop Lüder bands.

What is fringing effect?

Apparent boost in lows because of full track being played on multitrack machines.

If you have two parallel plates forming a capacitor, the electric field does not end abruptly at the edge of the plates. There is some field outside that plates that curves from one to the other. This causes the real capacitance to be larger than what you'd calculate using the ideal formula. You have more electric field because of the fringe fields.

What is the difference between PS and PP?

Polypropylene (PP) is a good choice for product packaging because it is a highly durable material in both container and closure forms. PP is a good barrier against moisture, oil, and alcohol and it is resistant to many chemicals. The shortage of PP material lies in: it is easy to get oxidized and aged.

Polystyrene (PS) material is non-toxic by itself, but in the production of disposable tablewares, a lot of prohibited additives will be added into this material. And such kind of additives will dissolve with water, vinegar, oil and other things in the food. These dissolved material will go into human body, resulting in bad indigestion, partial ache and other kinds of diseases. That is why some areas have prohibited the usage of PS material in the industry of food packaging.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a common plastic material known for its characteristic of durability, is capable of preserving a product's original aroma and taste. In comparison to the traditional PS cups, the PET material cups are more durable, stronger, transparent, chemical-resistant and crack-resistant. It is widely used as environmental-friendly material.

What were disadvantages of using waterpower?

One of the disadvantages of using water or hydroelectric power is that is gives off a good deal of carbon dioxide as well as methane. Other disadvantages of hydro power are the cost to install the dams and turbines, and the fact that they destroy the habitat around the installations.

What is Plant within a Plant?

Plant-within-a-plant also known as Operation-within-an-Operation.

Many companies own existing sites, with sizable investment in bricks and mortar, utilities, plant, offices and other facilities, creating new facilities is often not financially viable. Equally, as business change, there is a real danger that the operations complexity associated with a lack of focus could gradually permeate some of the plants.

What were the advantages of the hierarchical system?

The hierarchical system has its advantages in that all those that live in a system understand what extortionists they need to pay and obey.

0.5 ppm is equal to how many microns?

According to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts-per_notation

PPM (Parts per Million) is a unitless quantity, therefore it does not equal a distance.

As in water filtration, this would be equivalent to 0.5 parts of a particular dissolved solid to 1 million parts of water.

0.5 ppm Total dissolved solids are achieved in water using Reverse Osmosis plus a DeIonizing filtration, or through steam distillation.

Why are primary chilled water pumps smaller than secondary pumps?

PRIMARY CHILLED WATER PUMPS ARE SELECTED TO FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CHILLER WHERE AS SECONADRY CHILLED WATER PUMPS TO SUPPLY CHILLED WATER TO THE LOAD. FOR EXAMPLE TO THE FAN COIL UNITS & AIR HANDELING UNITS. IN NORMAL PRACTICE THE SECONDARY CHILLED WATER PUMPS ARE APPLIED WITH VARIABLE FREQUENCY (SPEED) DRIVE WHILE PRIMARY WITH CONSTANT SPEED, IN THIS ALSO PRIMARY CHILLED WATER PUMPS CAN BE USED WITH VFD SYSTEM.

What is the yield strength of Q345B steel?

the yield strength of Q345B is 345MPa for thicknesses <= 16 mm.

325MPa for 16 mm < thickness <= 35 mm.

295MPa for 35 mm < thickness <= 50 mm.

275MPa for 50 mm < thickness <= 100 mm.

How do you calculate 45 degree steel elbow weight-- need a formula?

The easiest way is to find the centerline length and multiply that by the linear weight of the pipe size being used.

Alternatively, this formula should give the weight of an elbow in pounds:

w=0.071*pi^2*R*(ro^2-ri^2)

Where:

w= weight of elbow (lb)

R=curve radius of elbow (in)

ro=outside radius of pipe (in)

ri=inside radius of pipe (in)

What is the standard wire color for PLC inputs and outputs?

There is no specific standard for PLC inputs or outputs, as existing standards wire color codes are based on voltage rather than by function.

Different standards apply in the USA, Europe or other countries, and it depends if you intend to wire a PLC for a domestic application or it is going to another place where the requirements may be different to the local ones. Check it.

These standards my help you:

NFPA 79

UL 508A

IEC 204.1 / EN 60204-1

If you mention where you are located or where is that piece of equipment going, maybe I can give you further info.

What is different between sawing and broaching?

Rotary Broaching is a method of producing both internal and external forms fast and accurately on the end of a workpiece. Rotary broaching makes it possible to very accurate forms within 0.0005 inches within seconds.

With rotary broaching not only can you produce standard shapes such as hexagons and squares but also shapes such as Double Hex Rotary Broaches, 6-Lobe Rotary Broaches, Serration Rotary Broaches, J500 Rotary Broaches, Spline Rotary Broaches, Involute Rotary Broaches, Torx Rotary Broaches, Double D Rotary Broaches and any other Special Design Required. Rotary broaches can be made to just about any size, English or Metric.

Some of the material that can be rotary broached is brass, aluminum and steel and can go as much as 2 inches deep.
