    Saturated Steam - Conceptual Question

    Following question is for concept only not an actual problem to solve. Saturated steam is flowing in a 3" diameter pipe under a certain pressure (saturation pressure), temperature and velocity P ,T, v . The 3" diameter pipe expands suddenly to a 24" diameter pipe that is 10 feet long. The...

    Household liquids with low surface tension?

    I had the opportunity to visit a PQ Corporation facility in Utica, Il. recently. They manufacture "liquid glass" --> Sodium Silicate. Sodium Silicate is surfactant ie. lowers surface tension in liquids. Please note Sodium Silicate is NOT a "kitchen/cooking" liquid and is mildly caustic...

    Saturated Steam Tables - General Question

    Are "saturated steam tables" calculated or are the saturated values of Pressure, Volume and Temperature determined experimentally?

    Does flux move with the magnet?

    I understand the same as you... no "polar axis" with gravity. If I understood the foregoing comments (vanesch) then irregularities or imperfections in objects creating a field (magnetic, electric or gravitation fields) create local "irregularities" in the value of the field at those discrete...

    Does flux move with the magnet?

    Excellent, Thank you... If I understand correctly then the Earth (or "generating object") is rotating within the field and local irregularities create local "high" or "low" points in the "topology" of the field?

    Does flux move with the magnet?

    The foregoing questions and comments were interesting and it made me think of gravitational and electrical fields as well. I wonder if you wouldn't comment on gravitational fields as well? Does the Earth spin inside a non-moving field or does the field move (rotate) along with the earth...

    Flow of fluids through an infinitely thin hole

    I would add searching on the term "vena contracta" as well.

    Question About Mass and Mass Flow Rate Relations

    Out of curiosity, if the inner sphere is getting larger then is the mass exiting the annular space between the spheres or is the mass being compressed? Or does it matter...? dM/dt implies a rate of change of mass with respect to time. If mass is not exiting or entering the space between the...

    Solving Thermodynamic Problem: Mass, m, Cylinder, h, r, Tmi, To, Tme

    I'm sure I'll use the wrong terms in what follows: Restating what genneth posted in different words: The temperature field will assume a steady state condition for a constant flow of mass. In other words, the temperature will be a function of it's position only. The temperature field will...
