Industrial Definition and 103 Threads

Hi - attached is 3 pages from the PARKER o ring guide and I am having trouble with specs in the military straight thread tube fitting chart not fitting the designated o-ring. I can't find a different resource for something in my thread size needed - 5/8-18 Does anyone have an alternative...

I build large ovens for powder coating. And exhaust vent location on ovens has always been an argued topic. Some people or companies use forced air propane/gas heaters, with fans that blow 30 CFM to 1450 CFM into almost air tight ovens. These ovens range in size from 4Lx4Wx8H' to 15Lx8Wx8H'...

Here it is specified that optimum operating temp for industrial C02 laser is within the range 59 °F to 77 °F. This is what is generally specified online, but it leads to a number of questions; How is this measured? Does it refer to the whole unit, or the point of emission of the beam, or some...

This is a 3D model I made of a large industrial steam turbine. It was modeled after one of the turbines at the Port Richmond generating station in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I plan on modeling the entire turbine hall of that power plant, but that will take several months, at least. The program...

I have a source of electricity that's alternating but at variable frequencies. So an asynchronous alternating current of sorts if you will. Can industrial rechargeable batteries be charged like this efficiently? Or would DC current work best? Or normal AC?

Hi PF! I'm using this cabinet as a standup desk, so my computer is on the top and my keyboard is on one of the lower shelves. Since the shelves are covered from the top, I can't see my keyboard. I am proficient at typing without looking except when it comes to special characters. Does anyone...

Lets suppose for a stroy, that a time traveller arrive in a civilization that hasnt reached iron age yet. He isn't a well qualified engineer or doctor, but he becomes a king. How much he could help their development by simply telling : with really hot fire, you could produce iron, not just shape...

I need some industrial applications where IR is used for communication. Also I need to know whether can I use it to transmit my measured data of torque and temperature (measured using RTD and strain gauge) from a Rotating shaft running at 7500 rpm through IR communication ?

I'm a computer science student in the UK. People are telling me that an industrial year placement is crucial for getting a job when you graduate. For various reasons I can't do an industrial year. What are my prospects like in terms of getting a job? I basically have nothing to add to my CV...

I'd like to go for a master degree. What do you think about Industrial Engineering and Management? I'm also thinking about Manufacturing Engineering. Both are quite broad but having worked in a production industry for over a year I feel like moving from specialist to a manager is tempting since...

Can anybody suggest good resources for me to learn about the method of lines? I have budget to buy textbooks. The boss has received a "request for proposal" from a client with deep pockets. That means they want us to submit a bid for a contract. The client wants us to apply the method of lines...

Hello all, I am wondering if anyone is aware of any continuous processes currently in industry that involve synthesizing some kind of product or material, but takes over 24 hours? I don't mean the entire process itself takes 24 hours or more, but a certain stage of the process, such as the...

industrial quality, water proof with corrosion resistant connectors. something a public aquarium would use. it doesn't matter if their capacitance, resistive or voltage sensing. maybe I should have posted this in the chemistry forum but it doesn't really mater I guess.

Hi All I have done transient stability simulations on isolated electrical network using ETAP 7.5 software. Problem: On buses Faults generators return to stable stade But on cable faults, rotor angle is diverged so the system is not stable. To be noted that we have 2 SOLAR generators of 5MW...

I was looking up plastic injection molders for a project, and I noticed that while benchtop injection molders can be very small, industrial ones weigh several tons and take up an entire room! What accounts for this difference in size? Is it simply the capability to apply more pressure, or is it...

I'm thinking of reducing adhesive consumption in box assembly which has to hold ~7 kg. The assembly process consists of product insertion, glue application on box ends and tapping along the gap (nothing extraordinary here). My question is: Why does a box even need adhesive if it gets tapped...

I'm at the end of my IE (Industrial Engineering) bachelor years and during my exchange stay I realized how many IE students there are. I wasn't really sure what IE do but it seems that it is too broad and lacks specialization. However, I chose engineering because I'm not bad at physics/math and...

Eelements of "industrial" system using uC I work in Power Electronics (components and stacks) and have a few products I would like to develop using uC - very simple, 1-4 channel PWM systems. My question is - in addition to the core function ( input(s) - process - output(control) - RT...

Despite the 20+ answers in this thread I think most of us would agree that life for 99% of fantasy world inhabitants would be awful. Strip away the royal courts, the fellowships, the magic schools etc and most of the time you're left with a feudalistic world full of peasants that have to work 10...

Hi I'm a mechanical engineering that just started my first job. I have learned (to my dismay) that the majority of courses I did at school are very theoretical and completely useless in industry and so I'm basically learning to do my job from scratch. I'm currently involved in the construction...
