It seems that this could be modeled by the Bernoulli equation: P + (1/2)ρv² + ρgh = constant where: P is the static pressure of the fluid. ρ is the density of the fluid. v is the velocity of the fluid. g is the acceleration due to gravity. h is the elevation or height of the fluid. That is...

II'm trying to figure how adding misters to a fan, sprayed or nebulized water into the stream of air, yields increased cooling. Is it due to a non evaporative mechanism, perhaps better heat transport away from the person through humidified air versus dry air? It seems to me that the minimal to...

In retirement, relearning math and science topics that I forgot, or have been waiting 40 years to study!

How would we model/calculate the circular waves in a pool of water (wavelength and amplitude) from a mass falling into it from a given height, and from a fountain of water falling into it continuously? Is there is a way to describe the initial configuration of the wave based on the stimulus...
