I set out to find out how many seconds it takes for a 4cylinder naturally aspirated diesel engine to complete 1 cycle(4 strokes):
I considered a tata indica model
max power:53.5PS@5000rpm
therefore 5000 rev per min or 83.3 rev per sec
now it takes 0.012 seconds to complete 4 strokes or 1...
[b]1. I'm carrying out the modeling of control valve using Physical method as part of my project. The first step is to get the physical model representation of a valve and then carry out the modeling. Secondly, I need to incorporate friction in the modeling to see the effect. I've seen a number...
Hi all
I am trying to design a test that can be carried out on a valve to calculate the pressure drop and flow coefficient through said valve. i need to have a 6 bar inlet pressure into the valve and the ID of valve will be 50mm. the fluid i am proposing to use is water. My design is to have...
Hi guys, I am looking for a small and light air valve that can be activated by the arduino platform and can run on batteries. Once the valve gets the “go”signal it needs to switch (speed doesn’t matter) from a closed to an open position. The pressure to handle is low, i.e. <2 bar. It only needs...

Hi,
I have a question.
Glove Valve
PN16, JIS10k , ANSI 150#, AMSE, all they equal same, in withstand the steam pressure?
I heard RN16 stand for 16bar pressure, but it's for steam too?
I'm confuse..
million thanks if anyone would teach me please.
help please -- how does a valve work ??
how does a valve work ??
when in a uniform cross section pipeline a valve is closed it reduces d opening due to which the area decreses and as area decreases flow should increase
A*v=constant
so how does it work ?
please explain mentioning the...
So I designed a circuit. It is controlling a pulsating actuator-solenoid. I used a power BJT as shown in attachment.
Now I have a problem.
As you can see all 4 circuits are in parallel. As a consequence, all 4 solenoids have one lead in common.
When I test each subcircuit, it works...
In engine, there is valve and the valve spring. If you have ever look at the valve spring before, then you will notice that one end has its coil closer together than the other end. So a valve spring is a kind of progressive spring.

Ok, so I am trying to build myself a small water tank (about 1 L) with 2 tubes coming from the top. The first one goes all the way down to the bottom (thus in the water) and acts as the outtake. The second one is an air intake where the air pressure is regulated, say 5 psi. Now, I want to be...
is it right to say that valve opening for both ball & butterfly valve is directly proportional to flowrate passing through it?
say 100 m^3/hr at 100% opening
50 m^3/hr at 50% opening??
thanks in advance..

I need a valve that will pressurize a system, then leave the system pressurized for a time, then exhaust the pressure on command. I need it to be easily portable and quite small, and will run at pretty low pressures. What kind of valve would do this for me?
Is there a valve that can be set to open to let hot gas out at a certain pressure, and then close once the pressure drops back down?

Hi guys,

Hi all,
Right, this may be a bit hard to explain but I'll do my best. Hopefully attached is a sketch of the situation. The water flows from the tank into the "rigid container" through valve (1). This tank is then heated until the water reaches boiling at which point the thermostatic valve...
