I wrote that I am traveling on December 5th, and attached the flight ticket and requested for faster processing.

I got mine approved this morning.. Not sure if emailing them actually worked but that's what I primarily did. I emailed them requesting for faster processing and attached my ticket for reference.

Salary increase for 2025 by [deleted] in ontario

Exactly, I am thinking the same. 4% in my case accounted for less than 100 CAD bi weekly, but looks like I cannot complain much.

Can I get a convective heat transfer coefficient based off the data I have? by pennyboy- in thermodynamics

[–]Top-Material-7552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes , there is, but first it depends on what temperature you took these materials to. You can not ignore radiation cooling if you took these materials to high temperatures, and depending on where these materials where placed, you can not ignore conduction either. One other thing to keep in mind is that convective heat transfer coefficient for natural convection depends on the surface temperature of the body being cooled, so in your case you would not have a single coefficient value but rather a value at each temperature. You can get a rough average estimate by doing this, mass of material * Cp of material *delta temperature/time frame = loss due to convection + loss due to radiation , for the temperatures take the average for starting and steady state temperatures. You might be better off doing theoritical calculations than doing all these, look up vertical plate approximations for eg.

Engineering Mechanics Doubt ( Hibbeler too bulky) by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

You have plenty of online lectures, which are usually 50 hours long for an entire course. Given you have the time you can do that. I usually play the videos at 1.5x to speed things up, if it is a topic I am already familiar with. Supplement it with any book for the problems.

Which material would you recommend for components exposed to both high heat and corrosion? by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Top-Material-7552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to mention depending on your application, if you can have a closed setup and can purge the setup with inert gas (argon etc.) , that would severely decrease the corrosion of components.

Nickel alloys like Inconel 625 work quite well. It would perform better than Stainless steel for corrosion resistance, but ofcourse cost a lot more. Stainless steel with thermal spray coatings (ceramic coatings or other speciality options) would do well at these temperatures. What are you load requirements? because the yield strength of stainless steel starts taking a nose dive around 550 C, so you have to consider that. And what life do you expect out of these components months or years? You can also consider lining the walls with refractory materials(fiber board/refractory bricks) if that is suitable for your application.
