    Rubber tyre “melting” inside, turned to deadly goo. Why?

    Is it possible your old tires featured ContiSeal? ContiSeal is a technology developed by Continental designed to seal a damaged tire tread. In case of penetration by foreign objects such as nails, there is no need for immediate roadside tire changes, and holes remain sealed even if the...

    How to build a CNC plotter?

    I understand your desire. But Physics Forums is not really the platform for a free-wheeling, "back and forth" discussion intended to develop something new (like a homework answer, an experiment, or a piece of hardware like your plotter) from scratch. Instead, we expect you to have already...

    How to build a CNC plotter?

    You don't need to reinvent everything from scratch. Instead, search for instructional videos like this one: DIY Arduino Based CNC XY Plotter Withouth 3D Printer/Aluminium Rails. Fully Custom Build. This is 100% homemade with minimal tools and items required.

    I can no longer render LaTeX

    Although LaTeX is still working fine for thread posting, for me it's broken again in a direct message. Inserting LaTeX code into a DM works OK for the first preview but editing and previewing again gives a broken equation that can't be further edited and is even hard to delete. And if I generate...

    Undergrad Milne vs. Minkowski metric

    A hypersphere is a 3-dimensional space (a hypersurface embedded in 4D spacetime) and so it does not include the 4th dimension of time. See, e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-sphere.

    Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?

    "this acceleration"--what "acceleration"? Please define what you're referring to specifically. "increase overall output"--"overall output" of what quantity? And "increase" relative to what baseline?

    Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?

    OK, good. I think that we are in agreement: we both accept the predictions of standard fluid dynamics (like the Betz limit that bounds the maximum energy that can be extracted by any wind turbine).

    Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?

    Enthalpy is just a particular form of energy that is characteristic of certain configurations of matter. And energy in total is conserved. What's your point?

    Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?

    I am unsure of your point. Have there been "other explanations" proposed to explain velocity increase?

    Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?

    I don't think that's the right interpretation. The flow-speed plots in fig. 6 of my post #26 show lower speeds (blue) everywhere around the building compared to the higher incoming freestream speed (yellow/green). But what you can say is this: if you have a turbine of finite aperture-width...

    Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?

    The energy "released" by the temperature-fall is exactly balanced by the energy required to increase the flow-velocity. Bernoulli's equation for a compressible fluid (like air) can be written ##v^2/2+C_pT=\text{constant}##, where ##C_p## is the specific heat of the fluid. So simple conservation...

    Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?

    Did you search the title in Google Scholar for a free PDF as I suggested? What did you find?
