Submitted by Helen_SoftInWay on

SoftInWay invites engineers to take part in free 1-hour webinar "Design of High Efficiency Steam Turbine in AxSTREAM" that will take place on Thursday, October 21, 2010, at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. EST.



The webinar demonstrates the steps of steam turbine design on 1D/2D level, with particular focus on influence of different factors on turbine efficiency at the following stages of design:



- 1D Preliminary design and optimization: number of stages, geometrical and structural constraint



sound pressure level

Submitted by avicina on

Hi

 

how SPL (sound pressure level) is measuredin a building or roomtest space?

 

especially I want to know what time is needed for measurement of SPL?

 

I mean because SPL definition has a time integral, (this quantity is measured in special interval of time)

 

I need to know how long is needed for measuring SPL ?

 

in other words what is interval of time integral in definition of SPL?

 

thanks alot
