Hi! I have experimental data measuring losses across an obstruction in compressible flow which basically consists of static pressure, total pressure and total temperature upstream of the obstruction and the same variables downstream for a number of different mass flow rates. This data was...
Q_Goest, thank you for replying. Sorry for taking so long to clarify some things. I have an experimental setup with the capability of maintaining an upstream stagnation pressure of up to 210 psi and varying the downstream pressure, so that the flow regime is anywhere from low subsonic to...
I have air flowing through a gate valve with lengths of pipe of matching diameter upstream and downstream. At a certain distance from the valve upstream and downstream, I am measuring static temperatures and static and stagnation pressures. I can estimate the Mach numbers at the tapping points...
i guess my initial post was a little ambiguous. when i said "higher equilibrium temperature", i meant higher than the original water temperature before heat addition, i didn't mean higher than the ambient.
why will there be convection? from my limited knowledge, convection is a result of...
this question was posed by someone on a computer forum and is probably easy for some of you, so here goes :
imagine water in an open container which is perfectly insulated on the sides and bottom. the water is stationary and heat is being added from the top (assume that the surroundings above...
