The difference is exactly what the graph shows. Different amounts of torque at different angles - one peaks higher... There's nothing you can categorize as "impulsive torque" in your example; torque is just torque.

Yes there is a very special valve that governs just this, in engineering terms it's referred to as the Atmosphere. Not true, conduct an experiment: turn on a bath, step into the water, then step out, neglecting the water on your legs and assuming you have a plug in, observe if it leaks...

just picture this way: the total distance of rope used will be the length of the hypotenuse(AB) minus the opposite(BC), this will allways be smaller than the adjacent length(AC). You have to cover both distances at the same time so the velocity has to be greater along the adjacent length because...

That wire is the capillary tube

oh man, I just finished typing up a big post, but it time out, so I lost it (happens all the time here, I must type slow...) Anyway, I can't offer any direction on the calculation side of things, because its quite intensive, but it all revolves around buckling loads the part can take, nothing...

it is correct.

hi, The diagram is a bit misleading. the output shaft is attached to the second sun gear S2. input is S1, the arm just connects the planetary gears (P1 and P2). Just think about it this way. If you have the arm at 0 rpm, you have just a standard reduction between the input and output right...

Pressure is in all directions! With fluid flow you have to consider two types of pressure, static AND dynamic. The important thing to note is the dynamic pressure of a fluid is relative to its velocity. the equation is: static pressure + dynamic pressure = constant. p + 1/2 (density x...

Hi first post here, IMO, the biggest problems facing combustion engines are the energy losses associated with them (or inefficiencies, rather). Were all familiar with what they are. Modern engines have been worked on and tuned to a point now, where they're basically as good as they're going to...
