    UV Degradation of PVC: Solutions for Safe Use in Rainwater Systems

    Hi everybody, I'm involved with a project that wants to use PVC pipes as gutters for a rainwater harvesting system. The water is intended for human consumption (after it passes through clay filters to take care of biological contaminants). I've been looking at PVC degradation under UV and...

    Rainfall drop velocity from a given height (not terminal)

    hi everybody, I posted this in an engineering forum but I think it's more relevant here, because it's really just a question of fluid and Newtonian mechanics. I'm working on a project where I'm trying to measure raindrop parameters, and one thing I'm looking at is the sub-terminal speed...

    Predicting raindrop speed from a given height

    hi everybody, so I'm working on a project where I'm trying to measure raindrop parameters, and one thing I'm looking at is the sub-terminal speed of drops released from a certain height. The equation that I'm using is from http://staff.science.uva.nl/~jboxel/Publications/PDFs/Gent_98.pdf...
