Hey folks, Just wondering where the appropriate place to put CAD-related topics on this board would be. To give some context, I was thinking about posting a question about advice on constructing a Francis-vane impeller, so it feels like it falls in the mechanical engineering section; yet it...

Which, as I said, I understand that element of it. But pressure generated from head and the head as the computed requirement don't appear to be the same thing. So let me know if what I've got so far is correct or even in the right ballpark. According to Wikipedia, hydraulic head appears to be...

Do you need the mass flow rate (i.e. the amount of fluid mass transferred per second) or the volumetric flow rate (the amount of volume transferred per second)? The two are related via the following relation: ## Q_m = \rho Q_v## You can find the flow rate via the following equation provided...

Little bit of a disclaimer: if you take a look at my first (introductory) post, you'll see that I'm working towards aerospace engineering; therefore, this is leaning towards turbopump design, but for the time being I'll start out slow. Basically, I'd like it if anyone could help me get a sense...

I see this is a little bit dated, but I'll still offer my two cents as a current CAD user if it'll help give some perspective. I see a bunch of people referencing CATIA and other systems, so I want to clear up some discrepancies before the wrong information and ideas get perpetuated...

Hey all, I suppose, as the title suggests, I'm the new guy around here. Short summary, went through high school and early college as a chemistry major, then had a change of heart and started working as an electrical and computer engineer, now planning on going back to college to study...
