Commonly used for ASME pressure vessels, these torispherical heads have a crown radius equal to the outside diameter of the head (=), and a knuckle radius equal to 6% of the outside diameter (=). The ASME design code does not allow the knuckle radius to be any less than 6% of the outside diameter.
Drilling Formula Sheets is a set of Drilling Formulas used commonly by drilling engineers in the onshore and offshore oil drilling industry. They are used as part of a key piece of engineering work called Well Control .
The outside diameter of a gear is the diameter of the addendum (tip) circle. In a bevel gear it is the diameter of the crown circle. In a throated worm gear it is the maximum diameter of the blank. The term applies to external gears, this is can also be known from major diameter. [1]
Maps for other applications use head or discharge pressure and volume flow. [ 12 ] For a particular compressor and gas the flow and speed groups are simplified, by deleting the terms which are constant for a particular compressor and application, namely compressor dimensions and gas properties D {\displaystyle D} , A {\displaystyle A} , R ...
Euler’s pump and turbine equations can be used to predict the effect that changing the impeller geometry has on the head. Qualitative estimations can be made from the impeller geometry about the performance of the turbine/pump. This equation can be written as rothalpy invariance: =
where h f is the head loss due to friction, calculated from: the ratio of the length to diameter of the pipe L/D, the velocity of the flow V, and two empirical factors a and b to account for friction. This equation has been supplanted in modern hydraulics by the Darcy–Weisbach equation, which used it as a starting point.
In fluid dynamics, total dynamic head (TDH) is the work to be done by a pump, per unit weight, per unit volume of fluid. TDH is the total amount of system pressure, measured in feet, where water can flow through a system before gravity takes over, and is essential for pump specification.
In sheet metal drawing, as a die forms a shape from a flat sheet of metal (the "blank"), the material is forced to move and conform to the die. The flow of material is controlled through pressure applied to the blank and lubrication applied to the die or the blank. If the form moves too easily, wrinkles will occur in the part.
