AI Thread Summary
To determine how far fish food pellets can be blown through tubing, one must calculate the pressure and the tubing's cross-sectional area to establish the driving force. The exit speed of the pellets can be derived from the tube's length. The trajectory of the pellets will follow a parabolic path, with the maximum distance achievable at a 45-degree angle. Understanding these factors is essential for accurate calculations. Proper equations can help predict the distance effectively.

Does anyone know any equations that can be used to figure out how far matter can be blown through a section piece of tubing? I need to figure out how far I can blow fish food pellets through a piece of tubing and I know that the fact that I am blowing pellets instead of large solid objects or liquid will complicate things. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Calculate the pressure, calculate the section, and you have the driving force F. You can then calculate the exist speed from the length of the tube. The trajectory of your object will be a parabola and there are www.cbu.edu/~jmonzyk/Phys150/ProjMot.ppt[/URL] (45°) and what this maximum distance will be.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
