Hi jrmicher, Thank you for you information. I appreciate it. I did calculate the major head losses for the system already which the frictional factor was derived from the Moody Diagram that you mentioned. However, the head loss does not contribute a large amount of pressure drop here based on my...
Hi JBA, thank you for your inputs. I really appreciate it. Did you have a chance to figure out what the back pressure is? It will be super helpful if you have that information.
Thanks

Hi All,
Recently, I have been struggling to seek a solution for a seemingly simple flow question and try to rationalize my thoughts with mechanical engineering knowledge I have acquired from school but none of them can make me feel comfortable about answering the phenomenon I encountered in...

Summary: Suction force drops dramatically as the gap between the object and suction force is created and increases. How to find a method to quantify this relationship?

Hi All,
We all have experiences of using vacuum cleaner to clean carpet, floor, etc. and might probably have noticed a super intuitive phenomenon that as you move your vacuum cleaner suction hose closer to the floor, the suction force increases which helps you pull some of large trash off the...
Imagine a flat plate (2m long, 1 mm thick) in 2D... like a rectangle if you look at in front view. A water jet strikes at the beginning of the plate (left side of the plate) at 60 degrees. After the water jet strikes the plate, probably 80 percent of water goes to the right and the remaining...

When a water jet strikes a plate (3m plate) at an angle (like 60 degrees), velocity of water decreases as it travels downstream. I know the major contributor that slows down water is probably wall frictional force but how to quantify this...
