    Where has all that energy gone to?

    Thanks for all your reply's our best guess at the moment is a small leak in the HX. There would be no evident water as it would vaporize in the flue gas. Will update after we investigate tomorrow.

    Where has all that energy gone to?

    I am not a physicist however I am hoping some of you can help me out. We run biomass boilers in big supermarket stores so that they can appease the carbon levy and build ever more of them! One such boiler is behaving very strangely and defying all the laws of physics of my limited...

    How Can You Calculate the Energy Content of Waste Steam in Industrial Processes?

    I don't know if anyone can help but I have a friend who wants to capture his waste steam and convert it to energy - that's the easy bit - the difficulty is how to work out how much energy he has in the first place. He is drying wood by heating a container to 160oC over a period of approx 40...

    Is My Calculation for Pressure Loss in German Pipework Accurate?

    My sincere apologies if this is not the right place however I will pose the problem: Being a humble plumber rather than a physicist I am used to calculating pressure loss in copper pipework for hot water heating systems by determining the required flow rate kW/h / specific heat x delta T...
