    Straight Pipe with many holes air consumption?

    You need to provide more information on how these holes are setup. Are they setup in a straight line. Do you have a set of holes circling the pipe, or is it random. If its random it not going to be possible to derive an equation. You will need to use an FEA program. Also, with hundreds of...

    Dynamics of Machine Course Help

    If your looking to brush up on vectors you should review Statics first since Dynamics will more likely confuse the situations since you also have to deal with how position relates to velocity, and how velocity relates to acceleration, instead of just dealing with direction. Either way the...

    Calculating Jet Pressure at Nozzle orifice

    The pressure at the exit of your nozzle would be zero because you're open to atmosphere. At this point you should be more interested in the fluid momentum which will be based off of fluid velocity. To caclulate the fluid velocity you would need to use Bernoulli's equation to take in...

    Where can i find quality '(not wikipedia) materialdata

    matweb which was already mentioned. Plus if your looking for yield stresses mcmaster will normally provide that data also.

    Moment of inertia - curved flat bar

    If your looking for an exact answer you would have integrate it using: Ixy=∫xydA since it is curved Honestly though I would just get a rough estimate with a simple rectangular cross-section area moment of inertia equation I=1/12bh^3 or I would use a program like Solidworks that...

    Torsional shear stress for square bars

    It depends on your ratio of height and width of the bar. The equation you would use to calculate the stress is as follows. σ=(Ta)/J a = shortest side The trick is figuring out what J is. There are a couple methods. The first method which isn't always accurate would be to use this...

    Can anyone offer advice on vibration in machine tool?

    A long term fix I would say you should try to design a tuned absorber. For right now though, if you can determine the point where there is the greatest deflection due to the vibration is; try sticking a weight there. By doing that you'll shift you natural frequencies towards the left, and...

    ANSYS - mchining cutting forces

    Do you have the actual machine you want to model? You could run an experiment on the machine and determine the forces, maybe by using some strain gauges. Then you could compare the experimental results to your ANSYS results and modify the model as needed. Otherwise, your results directly...

    Calculating change in length under max load

    Are you using these equations for part b E=σ/ε where σ is your stress and ε is your strain. You would use this equation to calculate your strain. For change in length you would use this equation ε=ΔL/L where ΔL is the change in length and L is the original length. These...

    How Can I Improve My Math and Physics Skills for Engineering Studies?

    I'm a mechanical engineer so I can't necessarily help you as far as computer and communication engineering. As far as math goes though, there are plenty of websites available that will provide theory, such as wolfram math, this forums, etc. However, as my experience as an engineer...

    News Obama for President: Experienced Leader

    I think we should vote them all out and make Chuck Norris president. :wink: Seriously though, they all have their own agenda in mind. So the question is who really has America's best interest in mind? Personally, I don't feel like Obama has done what he said he was going to do, and he...

    Immediate Acceleration Possible?

    First it would be very unlikely that object B would have a velocity equal to object A, since all of the energy from object A would have to transfer into object B. Some energy instead is dissipated as heat and some as noise, also some will remain in object A as it bounces away. The remaining...

    Is my processor 64-bit or 32-bit?

    Most processors today are made so that they can work with a 64 bit system. However some old xp processors may not have 64bit capability. You can check on your computer if you right click on my computer , click on properties, then click on windows experience index. After that you should...
