Re: Vortex breaker. 12/25/2009 7:51 AM. If the outlet is not exactly radial and the flow rate is high some vortex will result. In a similar application (dia 2.5 ft and ht 5 ft, 5% salt solution) we used a loosely rolled 1/4 SS mesh in a 3" dia 6" long cylinder located inside at the entrance to the out let.

Jan 18, 2016 · Usually a vortex breaker is just a flat plate (or pair of crossed plates) inserted into a vessel drop leg or pipe, to inhibit rotation of the fluid. In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.
Vortex Breaker Plate thickness - CR4 Discussion Thread
03/21/2009 11:26 PM. Yes, vortex breakers are meant to be rigid, though for practical purposes they may flex a small amount. We can not give you an answer for a thickness because it depends on a lot of information you are not giving us: density, velocity, flowrate, slurry, temperature, material, corrosion allowance, is the breaker spanning the ...
Vortex Problems in Pump Applications - CR4 Discussion Thread
Sep 11, 2009 · 09/12/2009 4:59 AM. In pump operation, and due to insufficient height of liquid surface covering the suction end of the pump, the reduction in pressure causes a swirling or spiral motion of the liquid which forms what we call vortex. The swirling or vortex is occurred in a form of a cone of air through the liquid with its base at water surface ...

Vent Stack Mechanical Design - CR4 Discussion Thread - GlobalSpec
Sep 18, 2009 · Re: Vent Stack Mechanical Design. 09/27/2010 2:58 PM. The ASME VIII-1 Para. UG-28 "Thickness of Shells and Tubes Under Extenal Pressure" depends on the difference in pressures (Pe - Pi), where Pe = the external pressure & Pi = internal pressure. And since Pe = Pi = P atmospheric, hence Pe - Pi = 0.
gas turbine thrust direction - CR4 Discussion Thread - GlobalSpec
03/22/2009 12:54 AM. In a gas turbine (at least that I was associated with) there are two tilting pad thrust bearings. the main one supports the thrust direction upstream. The second (much less in capacity) the opposite face of the rotor collar. The air is entering the compressor inlet, so obviously the thrust (reaction) at the moment is ...
