  1. mechanical engineering - Pound-force (lbf) vs Pound-mass (lbm ...

    Aug 25, 2015 · The following relationship is key to understand the link between lbm and lbf: 1 lbf=32.174 lbm ft/s^2 Arm yourself with this knowledge so that you can fight the good fight: the next time you …

  2. fluid mechanics - Different Values for Different Calculations of ...

    Apr 19, 2022 · The simple mistake is the conversion from the matrix units to the imperial units has produced the weight density of water, γw = 62.4lbf ft3 γ w = 62.4 l b f f t 3. Note that lbf l b f has …

  3. pound force and pound mass - Engineering Stack Exchange

    Feb 16, 2021 · I have a question about work measured in foot-pound. Let's say we have a 10 pound-mass (10 10 lbm lb m) object. Then since that 10 pound-mass (10 10 lbm lb m) object gives 10 …

  4. Unit Conversion for Mass Density - Engineering Stack Exchange

    Mar 29, 2020 · I am doing a Finite Element analysis of a continuum. In my problem definition I use these units: mm for length, kPa for applied stress, and MPa for material stifness (Young's modulus). With …

  5. thermodynamics - How to calculate saturated steam flow rates ...

    MH (1200.1BTU/lbm) + MC (1BTU/lbm) (190F) = ML (1164.0BTU/lbm) Would give a very low value for MC. If I were reducing steam from 650psig (which has more energy than 200psig). The equation …

  6. Barometer Column with Mercury - Engineering Stack Exchange

    Olin's method yields the correct answer, but a dimensional analysis of the pressure number shows it using lbf. I barely understand how to go between lbf and lbm mass anyway, the only consistent way I …

  7. Mass and weight of air in a room - Engineering Stack Exchange

    A pound force is defined as the force required to accelerate a slug at 1 ft/s^2. The density of air is $\rho = 0.0724 \ lb_m/ft^3 = 0.0724/32.2 \ slugs/ft^3$ The weight of the air is $\rho V g = 0.0724/32.2 \ …

  8. Converting air flow rate between kg/s and m^3/s

    Apr 21, 2015 · Is 1 kg/s of air flow rate equivalent to 1 m 3 /s? I am calculating supply air flow rate into a zone for an air conditioning system. The simulation software gives the result in m 3 /s but the …

  9. mechanical engineering - How to Calculate Damping Ratio and Natural ...

    Aug 18, 2022 · In summary, I need the damping ratio and damped frequency of a system excluding air resistance, as the system will be operating in a vacuum. The system can be modeled as a mass …

  10. How to Calculate Approximate Fuel Consumption from Engine Specs

    Mar 28, 2022 · I have a marine diesel engine, and I'd like to calculate the approximate fuel consumption based on the size of the engine, at a given number of RPM - specifically for the cruising …
