# Industrial Specification: Tanning Drum System

## 1. Technical Definition
A rotating drum system used for the tanning process in leather production, where hides are treated with chemicals to convert them into durable leather.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.8-2.5 bar hydraulic pressure, 8-15 rpm rotational speed, 40-65°C operating temperature**. Failure boundary: **Hydraulic pressure exceeding 3.2 bar causes seal rupture, rotational speed below 5 rpm leads to chemical settling, temperature above 75°C initiates protein denaturation**, Mechanism: **Seal failure occurs at 3.2 bar due to elastomer yield strength limit (σ_y = 15 MPa), chemical settling at &lt;5 rpm results from insufficient centrifugal force (F_c &lt; 0.8 N/kg), protein denaturation at &gt;75°C follows Arrhenius kinetics with activation energy E_a = 85 kJ/mol**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **L10 Bearing Life & Fatigue Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $L_{10} = (\frac{C}{P})^p$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Predicts mechanical lifecycle before component fatigue.
