Temperature

Temperature is the measure of the relative warmth or coolness of an object.

For measurement of Temperature there are two scales of measurements, one is “Fahrenheit” and the other is “Centigrade” or “Celsius”.

The arbitrary reference taken is the freezing point of water under atmospheric conditions. This point at which water freezes to a solid state is considered as ZERO in Celsius or Centigrade Scale.

In MKS systems, the unit of temperature is degree Centigrade (C)

In FPS system the unit of temperature is degree. Fahrenheit (F)

In SI system the unit of temperature is degree Celsius (C)


10 Centigrade = 10 Celsius.




A temperature reading on one scale can be converted into a reading on the other scale by the following formula:

C=5/9 (F-32)
or
F= 9/5 x (C+32)


where,
C is temperature in Celsius or Centigrade
F is temperature in Fahrenheit.

How to find out length of holding tube in pasteurizer?

Pasteurization requires that the milk is in custody for a specified time. The appropriate length for the holding tube can be calculated by the flow rate (Q) of milk and the diameter (D) of the holding tube using the formula: Length of holding tube, L = Q x holding time/A x Î· A = Area = pi/4 x sqr D Where an efficiency factor, η, of 0.85 is used in the model.

Specific power consumption of Air compressor

Specific Power Consumption   Specific power consumption is the ratio of the power consumed by an engine to a certain force such as the amount of output the engine (equipment) produces. It allows engines (equipments) of all different sizes to be compared to see which is the most power efficient. It allows manufacturers to see which engine (equipment) will use the least power while still producing a high amount of output. Specific power consumption of Air compressor The ratio of power consumption (in KW) to the volume delivered at ambient conditions. Specific power consumption= Actual power consumed by the compressor/Measured free air delivery If the measured flow is 250 m3/hr and actual power consumption is 30KW. Then Specific power requirement = 20 KW/250 m3/hr
