How to design a weld

Fillet weld is a common type of weld. In this post I will calculate the length of longitudinal weld of a fillet weld used to connect a tension member to a gusset plate:

Step 1: Analyse the transverse weld

Step 2: Analyse the longitudinal weld

Step 3: Draw and label the weld

How to solve the three reservoir problem

The three reservoir problem is a useful example to solve for common problems faced in a flow system e.g. determining flow diversion from a critical pipeline to a drain line.

How to design a pipe for waterhammer

Just a simple calculation to determine peak head due to waterhammer in a pipeline downstream of a reservoir. The calculation is for a sudden valve closure downstream of the pipeline.
