Correct and correct. 't' is not the best choice but I was simply trying to define the relationship between the variables I have introduced, not create a universally compatible system of studying this problem.
My usage of 'ponds treated with respect to time' is somewhat vague, but I mean to...
Correct. I was thinking this would end up in the realm of linear programing/linear algebra but I still think rates of change and calculus can be applied. I wasn't sure where they all fit in, and who was to become the primary player, so I figured I'd start with the calculus board. As far as...
There is a large chunk of information necessary as a preface to my question, so bare with me for a paragraph or two. I work for a pond treatment company. We have a set number of ponds we treat during a month, some are contracted to be treated once a month, some are treated twice. The question is...
The majority of pipe I have to work with is 16 feet long. I measured the diameters and they range from 1.5 inches to 9.5 inches, both approximately measured with a ruler. I was planning on having stops on the pipes for the bass octave so that they would be only half the length. So I just need to...
I like both the valve ideas. Its just a matter of which I find to be less expensive to produce. I do plan to test each pipe as its created, rather than cut them all first. As well I was thinking of doing a mock up of both the valves to ensure that I can get it all to work. Any recommendations on...
Intuitively I feel like I see what you are describing. A disc on a rotating motor which rests at "closed" and is twisted "open" when the motor is actuated. I am having trouble understanding a few things. When the motor is actuated, what will stop it from continuously rotating the disc? How do I...
My boss has a boat load of extra PVC piping laying around the shop and I wanted to use it to make a pipe organ. I need a way to electronically open and close the connections from each individual pipe to the main air supply. I'm on a tight budget and I'll need to make 88 valves in total. I have...
