I haven't found anything obvious about how rocket thrust gas particles would expand once they leave the thruster of the ship from which it is ejected. Inside the rocket would be the exploding gas, but outside the rocket the temperature would be ~ 3 Kelvin and zero pressure since outer space...
Hi all,
The idea is to generate as much as possible water steam from heat of internal combustion engine exhaust gas. The so called steam generation device is a simple sloped engine exhaust pipe where water from engine cooling and hot gas is fed at the top and all the mix is exiting at the...
Hi,
I've been thinking about the solution for cleaning a water-cooled gas cooler and would love to hear some advice from the smarter people with more experience.
Description - I will try to roughly explain the concept.
Gas Cooler is used to decrease exhaust gas temperature. The exhaust gas...
If you've seen it, they chose one point in the combustion chamber and the other in the exhaust nozzle. I think they're assuming that we have a gas both places. They say that the pressure in the nozzle is atmospheric pressure, or it you're in outer space, zero. That makes perfect sense...
Hello,
I'm just wanting to make sure I remember this correctly.
I have a hot exhaust pipe I want to shield from fuel lines.
So I have a shield (stainless) that is going 1/2 way around the exhaust, with an air gap of about 1". I want to sand blast the side facing the heat and polish the side...
I want to set up exhaust to take up fumes for my cnc laser. Do I need to cmpletely enclose it, or can I just put some suction near the cutting head?
Thanks so much
Joe
My doubt is whether its correct to assume that the exhaust is having the velocity of truck when it comes out of the exhaust pipe. So, I am not sure if Ve = Vt.
Should not the exhaust come out in a south direction from exhaust pipe since truck is moving in north direction? If yes, then it cannot...
Now this is how I've tried to solve this
$$ v_e = u0 \cdot ln \frac {M} {M- μ \cdot t} $$
After putting in the values I get this;
$$ v_e = 200 * ln 0,36 $$
$$ v_e = 73,54 \frac m s $$
Now I'd say that this is the correct way to do it, but this part is confusing me "What is the speed of the...
Hi folks,
Any idea about what is it?
I am required to find parts like these items which are made of stainless steel 304 and used on the post-treatment of diesel engine gas.
When calculating the dV available from a rocket booster, the below calculation is used:
(ISP . g) . ln(Mass when full/Mass when empty)
Is 'g' always equal to 9.81 in this equation, or do you use the actual gravitational acceleration that the booster will experience, at it's given altitude, to...
This isn't right, is it?
-\dfrac{GM}{R}+\dfrac12 v^2=-\dfrac{GM}{R+h}
v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}\left( 1-\sqrt{\dfrac{R}{R+h}}\right)
He's doing energy conservation. The mechanical energy at the Earth's surface is equal to the energy when the speed is 0.
Hello,
I am doing a study for my final years Uni project, which includes waste heat recovery from gas fuelled engine exhaust. I am using a data sheet for a Jenbacher J620 engine-.
In the data sheet it is stated that;
exhaust gas mass flow (wet) = 17325 kg hr ( not sure about the wet part?)...
Hey guys.
I have a room which i want to use as a server room. the devices need to work 24/7 and they get pretty hot. so it is imperative to keep the room cool otherwise the devices will be damaged.
I have an air vent to bring cold air into the room for the devices so their fans can suck in cold...
Hi all 😁 Hopefully it's ok to ask this question here. Ok so my project is a little bit redneck as opposed to being engineered science. I have been experimenting with burning waste oil in my oil furnace in my garage. It is an average house oil furnace with Beckett burner. ( burner has electric...
I'm pondering the behavior and persistence of rocket exhaust plume molecules far above the atmosphere. For example, the plume from an apogee circularization thrust from GTO (Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit) to GEO (Geosynchronous orbit). CO₂ and H₂O are among the molecular species emitted by a...
I would appreciate opinions on this...on which setup would create the best vacuum in an exhaust gas stream? The #1 drawing is a pipe that has a birds eye cut in it. These are sold for engine crankcase exhaust ventilation. There are some that say they work, then others that say they don't work...
I've been given some specifications by a company for an exhaust fan that I am looking at purchasing for my company. They tell me it is 10,900 cfm. Then given some specs on the electrical requirements. I am wondering with the information given could I check their given flow rate?
I imagine that...
Hi everyone.

You may have noticed that water sometimes drips from the exhaust of a car as it is running. Is this evidence that there is at least a small amount of water originally present in the gasoline?

Everything I've read about them has said they would be ineffective or have very minimal benefit due to lower compression on non-diesel engines and other factors. Yet I am aware of one that sold well in the '80's and '90's and was tremendously effective as a "mountain tamer" in the RV industry...
Hello,
Can anybody please tell me the typical diameter of the exhaust nozzle of a jet engine? I know, there are different types of engines and nozzle types also vary. For instance, I am interested to know the typical diameter of the nozzle of a turbofan engine.

In this derivation of the Ideal Rocket Equation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation#Most_popular_derivation), they use the fact that ##V_e = V - v_e##, or that the velocity of the exhaust in the observer frame ##V_e## is the velocity of the rocket ##V## minus the speed of...

The engine turns at 3000 rpm at this speed. The engine capacity has a displacement of 1.2 litres: this means that 1.2 litres of exhaust gas is expelled from the motor (into the exhaust manifold) every two* revolutions. Further assume that the gas leaves the exhaust pipe with...

I was thinking of ways of making carbon cleaner for the environment. One of the ways I came up with is filling a solar updraft tower https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_updraft_tower with the exhaust from a gas/coal plant.

Hello,

I'm looking into a science fair project involving proving the existence of tritium in the exhaust of a Farnsworth fusor, and was wondering what the ideal method to prove it is. I've thought of three so far. The first is ionizing the gas and analyzing the spectra. The second is placing an alpha...
Hi everyone
I searched about the mass flow rates and temperatures of exhaust gases of light gasoline internal combustion engine at different condition but I don't fond anything yet .
Anyone can guide me?

Could turbine exhaust temperature be negative Celcius?
My calculations yield 176 K. Is that possible?
Inlet conditions are 7.8 MPa and 625 K. Exit pressure is 1 atm. (100 kPa.)
Hi all,
Is there a correlation between an Air Dryer capacity and the exhaust pipe diameter? How would a small exhaust pipe diameter (not able to exhaust air enough) affects the capacity of an air dryer? If it does, could you expand on this? Thank you
I'm working on some propulsion homework for rockets. Basically combustion happens, and the gas velocity increases.
sometimes we use:
exhaust velocity = sqrt ( 2*Cp*exit temp)
other times we use
exhaust velocity = sqrt (2*Cp*(initial temp - final temp))
so the difference is, sometimes exit temp...

This is perhaps a somewhat naive question about rocket exhaust.
If I understand correctly, one of the challenges in designing a rocket nozzle - say, the main thrusters for the Saturn V - is that it needs to operate efficiently at sea level as well as at altitude. The difference in air pressure...

I've been trying to figure this out for days. I'm told that atmospheric pressure imposes a limit on maximum possible exhaust velocity in the Earth's atmosphere, and that under STP conditions that limit is approximately 15,000 feet per second. But that doesn't make any sense. Suppose you had...
In exhaust tuning it is well established that a 4-1 header provides the greatest Hp but only at peak rpm. For a more street efficient system a 4-2-1 give more gain at low rpm and moderates the peaks.
Conventional design criteria says to tune the primary tubes to reinforce the rpm you want...
