My gut feeling says that is a bit much - how did you get to 562 for temperature? Also, for my knowledge - it is acceptable and proper to simply add standard pressure of 14.7psi to the desired gage pressure of 30psi? Thanks for your help, -Sean

I'd expect that, up until most of the CO2 has left the tank, the pressure in the tank would remain constant at roughly 860 psi (with minor fluctuations with temperature). The CO2 should primarily be in the liquid form in the tank if filled properly, converting to gas phase as gas escapes...

First off, this is not a homework question nor assignment. I'm working on building a solar shower to mount on my car out of PVC, and don't feel like pumping large volumes of air with a bike pump. I'm looking at a portable air pump, or compressed gas in a tank with a regulator (and blow off...

I am researching water clocks through history. At some point, it was realized that for the container the water drips from, a conical container with the hole at its point was superior to a cylindrical container with the hole in its side. Could someone explain to me why conical containers are...

In lab for our final project, we used a Wide Range Strain Indicator connected to strain gages on a part we machined to function as a scale. The Indicator device was much like this one: http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/vishay/3800.pdf What units would the numbers be that we're...

Thanks a bunch!

In strength of materials, we have to do a project using strain gages to measure a weight between 0 and 10 lbs with an accuracy of .1lbs. My group is using bending strain. We have a formula, S_{}b=\frac{F*L*6}{E*b*h}, where F is the weight applied, L is the length, E is the Young's Modulus, b...

Thank you so much! :smile: -Sean

Thanks for your help. I guess a better way to phrase my question would be, where abouts on the pulley would be the proper place to show the force of friction on the circle? My inclination is directly opposite of Ts.

Homework Statement Draw a freebody diagram of the fixed pulley used in your lab. I am trying to get ahead in my statics class so I can start preparing for finals, but we haven't covered this in class yet, and it is not in our textbook. Our lab section is a bit ahead of our lecture...
