Total Pressure must remain constant because that is the Total Energy available or associated with the flow and we know that because of the Energy Conservation. And Total Pressure is composed of two constituents - ie static pressure and dynamic pressure and I know these two coexsist always...

Madster Thanks for answering and sharing your views and importantly seconding my opinion about the laws of nature Yep people seem to have a problem to being honest enough to accept that even the laws of nature have something behind them as a cause to their manifestation and that they don't...

boneh3ad : I have no where Ignored dtango, infact his view point very much appealed to me and seemed to be a satisfactory explanation which I've mentioned to be interesting. But I just wasnt pretty much sure about it and waited for other view points. Is it ignorance?? What made you...

dtango - thanks for replying. Your approach to understand pressures seems an analogy from the electric current concept but does look interesting, so let's get along with the discussion and check if its really is the way you mentioned. Thanks anyway. drMS : You have...

The Bernoullis Equation for an Incompressible Inviscid flow (say water) is as follows: p + (1/2).ρV^2 + ρgh = constant where, In words, static pressure + dynamic pressure + pressure energy due to height = constant It gives the Energy...

Thanks Guys for your responses.

Let us know the details then.

I do understand Leverage and Mechanical Advantage in terms of pulleys, levers (moments causing it), winches et al. But the question here is not limited to sophomore statics. I do understand that reactions are equal and opposite to the acting force. In general we consider the reactions in the...

Then what is it? The static equilibrium has reached (the spherical object doesn't slide down along the inclined surface anymore) so there has to be Reactions which to best of my knowledge are responses to the forces or their components (in case of inclinations) acting on the...

There is a metal sphere which is cut and flattened at on one side and the flat side rests on an inclined surface. The figure is attatched please refer it. The weight of the sphere is W = 20*9.81 N . The sphere will tend to slide on the inclined surface as perceived. But the vetical wall...

Thanks a lot guys for answering back. And MRFMengineer this was exactly the point I was looking to for a conformation and My comcept is clear now. Thanks again for the responses and looking forward to more cooperation like this in the future from you.

MRFMengineer, thanks a lot for the reply. But my actual doubt remains sort of unaddressed. My question is that suppose the engine be idle (no load and no transmissions drivetrains - for the sake of simplicity) then for a particular Power produced per cycle (by keeping a fixed amount of...

Hey people, No one with a reply to my query?? Come on guys, I need to understand this very clearly and as quickly as it can be. My further course in learning more of automobiles depends on this a lot. So please answer this question, and the more detailed or made easy the...

Hi guys, I have a very basic question which I have never been able to completely grasp the concept behind. This is regarding the Working Of A Flywheel. My question is: The Flywheel is said to store the kinetic energy from the excessive power produced...
