How to Calculate Reynolds Number for Pulsating Swirl Flow?
Does anyone here know how to calculate the reynolds number for a pulsating swirl flow? I've been trying to find the right expression for ages, I can't locate it. I'm sure it will be a integral equations based upon the frequency of swirl (i.e. 1Hz, 5Hz or 10Hz etc) Thanks- Ksum006

Pulsating Air Flow Equipment Selection
Ok, just quickly, I am a fourth year mechanical engineering student doing his thesis on electronic cooling. My project is on enhansing CPU cooling through the use of pulsating impinging jets. I'm trying to set up a rig where I can do some experiments. I am planning to use a compressed air...- Ksum006

Pulsating Air Flow Equipment Selection
Hi all, I was looking for a way to oscillate airflow at a particular frequency as fed from an electrical input. All I'm really looking for is a simple knife gate valve that opens and closes from a saw tooth (rectangular wave) input from an oscilloscope. I was thinking a Solenoid valve...- Ksum006

Can Laptop GPU Performance Be Enhanced?
Hi all, I have been thinking about an interesting concept. I have the laptop version of the 7800go and I know that most programs don't support laptop versions of GPU and hence most programs use them inefficiently and this results in poor performance. I have come up with a few solution...- Ksum006

Vernier Calliper: Measuring Teeth Explained
Hi all, I have a very quick question. On a vernier calliper, what are the names of the measuring teeth that define the limits of measurement? Thanks- Ksum006

I want to build a single person helicopter.
A motorcycle engine? I really hope you are not being serious ... Firstly, let's assume that u can get the required amount of lift from a motorcyle engine(very unlikely), and let's assume that it does fly(almost impossible) and on top of that let's assume that its legal(definitly not in most...- Ksum006

Going to school next year: need a laptop
MeJennifer's comment may be true. However, I don't know of any warranty serivce that is as good as Dell's. Their after sales service is really good. I have an inspiron 9400 laptop which my brother accedently dropped on my tiles. It refused to even switch on! The Dell rep. came to my house...- Ksum006

Windows vs Mac: Which is Better?
I think it really depends on what u want to do with ur computer. If ur an arts grad get a mac if ur an engineering/science grad get windows. and i don't care what u are but don't get vista. if u want something that's pretty much indestructible in its software architecture get linux. Oh...- Ksum006

Can a Wide Angle in a Diffuser Cause Total Pressure Loss and Affect Gas Flow?
Gravity can only be ignored if u have a single datum line. This means that the mass flow rate coming into the diffuser is leaving it at the same physical level(height) with respect to a reference plane. If the datum line changes(ie. change in distance from reference plane to the centroid of the...- Ksum006

Can a Wide Angle in a Diffuser Cause Total Pressure Loss and Affect Gas Flow?
Sorry I've made a mistake .. that second equation is meant to be P * V(volume) = m R T note that m /v is density so P/RT = density hope that helps- Ksum006

Can a Wide Angle in a Diffuser Cause Total Pressure Loss and Affect Gas Flow?
Im pretty sure this has to do with the Steady Flow Energy equation from thermodynamics. This equation can equate velocities, pressures, mass flow rates, heat input/output and work input/output, enthalpy's and physical changes in height. for enthalpy use, h = c(p) dt For the density of the...- Ksum006
