AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on predicting the mechanical effects of emergency shut-down scenarios on pipeline networks, particularly concerning crude oil. Participants are sharing insights on the tools and methods used to assess impacts like hammering, emphasizing the importance of liquid density in these predictions. A webinar addressing these topics has been identified as a valuable resource for further information. The conversation highlights the need for effective modeling and analysis in pipeline management during critical situations. Understanding these effects is crucial for maintaining pipeline integrity and safety.

How are you predicting the effects of emergency shut-down scenarios on your pipeline networks?

I'm seeking some input on the tools you use to predict mechanical effects (hammering, etc.) from critical scenarios such as emergency shut-down.

What kind of liquid? Density (gas or liquid) makes a huge difference.

Thanks for your response!
The liquid would be crude oil...

After doing a little research, I actually came across a webinar that will apparently cover these topics - looks like it's part 3 of a larger series. Here's the address, as it looks like it's open to the public:

Thread '2:1 Pulley Question'

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...

Thread 'Why do all my clocks run slow?'

Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
