Yes. it does. However, the bend at the top of the hook appears top have a significantly larger bend radius than the other ones. Are you sure they are all the same? If the drawing you provided has a uniform scale, they definitely are not all the same. Confirm this, and we can continue. once...

Excel is good for making your results presentable, but for solving computational math problems its not very good. I most frequently use MATLAB, which is great because it has built-in solvers that can be used with user-defined functions. MATLAB stands for "MATrix LABoratory" and is named that...

From what it sounds like, there is not enough air mixing with gas before intake. Where has it been stored when not being used? If its stored where there is a lot of moisture maybe corrosion has caused build-up that is blocking the air?? How old is the gas in the tank? Can gas expire?

what you want to ask is how the stress varies along the axis of the vessel. I think the weakest part will occur where you have the smallest X-section, like in the hollow part. However, stress concentration at sharp corners in the transverse cross-section may also exist.

Like they said before, when you apply small changes to a GOOD mesh, there will be little difference in the solution. The opposite for bad meshes. I like to make a uniform mesh and use the grid adaptation tools in fluent to refine the mesh for me. Otherwise, you will be spending A LOT of time...

Maybe I am late with this response, but I learned an analytical technique last year for finding the stresses in curved members. Its called the "Winkler-Bach Method". It is based on the assumption that transverse planar sections in the curved parts of the member are do not deform. "plane...

No they arent! The open circuit and source voltages are the same! In an open circuit there is no current, so there is no voltage drop across the Thev Resistor. However, Your numbers are correct in a way. You seem to be confused about what is meant by Thevenin resistance. It is the resistance of...
