Hello all, Looking for ideas on how to calculate mass flow rate from a velocity contour plot. The cross-sectional area is circular. An example of the velocity contour plot is shown in the figure below: In most of the cases (as exemplified above) the flow is non-axisymmetric. Any suggestions...

Thank you all for the responses. You have been very helpful. I would like to go back to the original question, if I may: I will continue to look deeper into the physics, but is it safe to consider at this point that the answer is no?

The flow is turbulent.

Hello all, I have an in-house designed flow meter with roughly the configuration in the figure. In the setup, a restriction is placed in the flow stream (the rows of horizontal lines in the figure). Pressure measurements upstream and downstream of the restriction, P1 and P2, respectively are...

Good day to all Physics Forums members, I am currently undertaking a project which involves the use of a Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) to measure the distance an object makes between two points. My setup is as follows: LVDT Type: Solartron DC50 with sensitivity of 6.158...

What are the variables that determine the maximum diameter of a drop of liquid that will not disintegrate while falling through a gas (e.g. raindrop falling in air)?

If a turtle and beetle fall from the same height, which would sustain more injury? Assume that both the turtle and beetle are geometrically similar. The amount of force of which the creatures reach the ground would be the measured parameter, right? So, including air resistance in the equation...

wow..simple and complicated at the same time..i was also wondering if you any reference books in particular regarding this topic..i guess i need to catch up on my reading..

so, the resulting angle is the angle at which the top surface of the water is tilted? what are the two g-forces? the ones acting on the car?

hi..just discovered this forum..very nice indeed..i was wondering if somebody could help me on something here..imagine that a car is traveling at 50km/h through a 90-degree right-hand turn..my question is is there any mathematical relation relating how much the g-force he encounters and the...
