Sounds like a classic case of air entrainment or possibly cavitation if the reservoir isn't feeding the scavenge stage correctly. I've seen similar symptoms when the pickup line wasn't fully primed or had a slight leak. Might be worth checking for aerated oil on return, or verifying that the...
I’ve dealt with this in bulk handling, and the key was adjusting the outlet design. Using a conical hopper with a steeper angle reduced bridging, and adding a small vibration motor kept balls moving. Sometimes a rotating agitator near the outlet helps too. The goal is to maintain constant flow...
When I calculated water flow on an inclined surface, I used the Manning equation for open channels—factoring slope, surface roughness, and hydraulic radius. It’s surprisingly accurate even for small-scale setups. Just make sure your measurements are consistent and account for flow width. For...
I’ve worked on emission testing setups for diesel engines, and getting accurate CO₂ mass values requires careful integration of exhaust flow rate and concentration data. Using a PEMS unit or combining a flowmeter with an NDIR sensor usually does the trick. Calibration is key. Also, correcting...
I appreciate the transparency in this response. Allegations like this can easily spiral, so having a clear stance on how AI tools are monitored and limited is important. If anything, the real issue is users misrepresenting AI-generated content, not the tech itself. I hope the mods continue to...
