I am trying to figure out the total energy a system of falling buckets can produce, and whether it would be a system that can replace or enhance a system of turbines in a hydroelectric dam situation. I need to figure out the total energy that a system of buckets, suspended on a chain system...

Hello all I was hooping someone could help shed some light on the following:- I have the equation shown below: This equation relates to flow rates of fluids. I know:- Q = flow rate A1 & A2 = Area Delta h = Difference in Head Loss g = Gravity But what does C relate to or even mean? Can...

do parralel timelines have to run concurrently to our time? what I mean by this is basically if there is a version of me or you out there in a parralel universe right now in 1963 for example just living like normal or do all parralel timelines have to be in the same timeframe as us?

System in question. Centrifugal pump (seal packing is water cooled) Fluid is water. Main system pressure is 55Psi. I need the water pressure to be around 25Psi. I also need the flow rate to be very low (think, maybe 1oz per minute). Basically, I need slightly more than say 30 drops per minute...

we have a project to how knowing the flow rate of fluid at the burst leakage due over pressured, probably to make it easier to understand i will attach some pictures of this mechanism. Picture at above is simply mechanism of pipeline system that installed vertically, with fluid is mud and...

I am in pharmacy school and my professor recently went over lung diseases with us. An important (and cheap) tool that many patients can use to detect whether their lung function is declining is a peak flow meter, which tells the patient how much air they are moving when they exhale with as much...

I know that I have to calculate force that is generated by water. However, I do it wrong way. ## A = \pi r^2 ## ## v = \frac Q A = \frac Q {\pi r^2}## ## F = P t = mvt = ...? ## - have problem with mass. and is it even correct way? if I can calculate F - its easy afterwards... ##\tau = F l ##...

Can someone check if my answer is correct please? Question: If liquid contained within a finite closed circular cylinder rotates about the axis k of the cylinder prove that the equation of continuity and boundary conditions are satisfied by u = ΩxR where Ω = Ωk is the constant angular velocity...

I am doing a STEM project where we need to make a timer without any chemical reactions or electricity, and I think the best way to do this is to create a constant flow for a certain amount of time and weigh how much water comes out. What is the best way to create a constant flow of water for...

$$\frac{dP_{flow}}{dA} = \frac{1}{2} Re \{\vec{E} \times \vec{H^*} \} \cdot \hat{z}$$ since ##E_z = 0## everywhere ##\vec{E} = \vec{E_t}##$$\frac{dP_{flow}}{dA} = \frac{1}{2} Re \{\vec{E_t} \times \vec{H^*} \} \cdot \hat{z}$$ $$\frac{1}{2} Re \left\{\mp Z_{TE} \left[ \left(\hat{z} \times...

When dealing with a compressed air system I would like to know how to make some calculations to predict pressure and flow rate throughout a system. e.g. If I have a compressor that can supply 50 cfm @ 100 psi at the source, and the air flows through a system of pipes, filters, turns, etc. which...

Hi! I'm a student of pharmaceutical sciences which means that my physics knowledge isn’t that great ahah, if I say a big mistake in the following text, a thousand "sorrys" ahah: So, I am now writing my master thesis and currently I am finishing writing a part where fluid mechanics are...

Hello guys, I am building a small prototype for a Coolant Dispensing System and need to measure the flow rate of water & chemical in the pipe in order to control the opening of valves downstream. Since I am building a small pilot system, I can't really spend too much money and hence I intend...

Step 1: Values are from textbook 'Building for a Cold Climate' Mbrick = 46 ng/s*Pa*m^2 Mgypsum = 2870 ng/s*Pa*m^2 (for 9.5mm) took the above value and used ratios to determine permeance for 10mm Gypsum board (2870/9.5 = X/10) Mgypsum (new value) = 3021.05 ng/s*Pa*m^2 Step 2...

Hello All, I am working on a project with plate heat exchangers connected in a cascade system to heat up water connections in a huge system The Problem Statement : A boiler produces and circulates hot water at 65 degC to a Heat Exchanger and come out at 50 degC, where as the other fluid is...

I am working Organic Rankine Cycle. I studied a number of research papers and in most of them, they have calculated outlet volume flow rate from the turbine or expander, but have not mentioned the calculations. So here are the available data; Pin = Turbine Inlet Pressure, 2.5 MPa Pout = Turbine...

I want to know what's the flow rate (in kg/s) of saturated steam at 5 barA pressure to the turbines of a 250 kW power plant.

What is the origin of the fact that heat flows from hot to cold? Does it have something to do with fluctuations?

In free vortex what does it mean " non-trivial component of velocity vector is tangential"? I know only the tangential component of velocity exists in free vortex flow, so what happens at the eye of the vortex ( what happens to vorticity and streamlines to be specific)?

This problem seems best treated in cylindrical coordinates. There is azimuthal symmetry, and there is no heat loss or generation within the cone, so our thermal conductivity equation reads: $$\vec{q} = -k(\frac{\partial T}{\partial \rho} \hat{\rho} + \frac{\partial T}{\partial z} \hat{z})$$ We...

I am using a compressed gas tank to fill an otherwise empty container, The gas tank is around 50bar and the container will be filled to 6bar. If I am using a pressure transducer to determine when the container has been filled to 6bar, can I use the information I gain from it to derive the flow...

I would appreciate opinions on this...on which setup would create the best vacuum in an exhaust gas stream? The #1 drawing is a pipe that has a birds eye cut in it. These are sold for engine crankcase exhaust ventilation. There are some that say they work, then others that say they don't work...

So the other day, I was pouring beer from a can to a mug and I obviously know the flow rate depends on the height of the beer from the bottom of the can (fluid level in the vessel), angle of tilt and I think time as well. I was wondering how to best model the PDE to describe such a phenomenon (...

Because of temperature, molecules of fluid have chaos movements.So I do not understand why in steady flow,the molecules of fluid can not move through the wall of flow tube?I think two layers of fluid exchange molecules while they move.How do we understand when saying: fluid can not move through...

I am researching the electrochemistry of redox flow batteries, however, I do not understand the charging process. As I understand DC current arrives in an electrode and transfers energy to excite electrons in the electrolyte thus providing energy to trigger a chemical reaction (storing...

I want to know the relation between the properties upstream of the valve and those downstream. Assume that the throttling device is small that not enough surface area is available for Q to occur. Changes in kinetic and potential energy are negligible. If I define my system to be the fluid...

Friendly argument at work (both non physics majors) with what tube would fill up faster with a flow rate (siphon like) that remains the same through two different diameter tubes. The dialysate jug is open to atm pressure. One tube is about .5 inches in diameter and the other is .25. We were...

Does the definition of fully developed flow is different for laminar and turbulent? I understand the fact that the entrance length are different in laminar and turbulent flows, but I believe the definition of fully hydrodynamically developed flow means that the velocity profile (hence momentum)...

In relativity, time is a dimension like space, a co-ordinate system. Depending on your motion, your co-ordinates shift and this leads to time dilation, simultaneity and length contraction. So, does time flow at all in relativity? Does time 'move forward'? If not, what would be different if time...

Problem Statement: An oil with density 900 kg/m3 and viscosity 0.18 Ns/m2 flows through a circular pipe which inclines upwards at 40° to the horizontal. The length of the pipe is 10 m and the diameter is 6 cm. The fluid pressure at the lower end of the pipe is 350 kPa and the pressure at the...

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.06239.pdf In this paper,the authors use ricci flow to construct Lifshitz spaces. But it is known that ricci flow is limited by Riemannian manifold, which has a positive metric. but in this paper the author use ricci flow in a lorentz manifold, whose signature...

MODERATOR'S NOTE: NO TEMPLATE BECAUSE THREAD WAS SUBMITTED TO ONE OF THE REGULAR FORUMS Summary: Calculate the air change rate required to keep a certain temperature In question d above, you were asked to calculate how long the air flow in the system would be active in a day. Now factor in...

Hello, I am trying to mix two fluids which are in flow. To be exact, I am trying to mix a concentrated mineral solution to an outlet of my RO filter. Is there a method to mix the two fluids to get a fixed concentration of the mixed solution ? Regards, Sanatan

Problem Statement: Why does the ink in refill won't flow back if I hold it inversely? Why does the ink in refill won't flow back if I hold it inversely? What stopping it?

Could anyone kindly kind me as to where this formula is derived from and how, because I searched and can't find it anywhere

I am currently learning python and to understand the my code fully and to make notes I am trying to draw flow charts to compliment my code. My issue is I am not sure what to put in the flow charts or really how to represent them as clearly as possible. I have done a google search but I am bit...

During high vacuum pumping, one sucks viscous gas out of a chamber down to just above the molecular flow density where viscous flow becomes absent, and then may employ a different sort of pump to start pulling in the remaining molecules: Molecular flow. I have been wondering for a while if...

A valve is installed between the throttle body and intake manifold and decrease its area to restrict the flow. How do I analyze the mass flow rate of air in the decreasing area to know the engine working condition at a minimum valve area?

a) so Q=V/t = Av Q is constant ( same At A0 and A). That means I have to find the velocity of the water either at A0 or at A. But how can I find it? I thought there must be a reason that h is given but the only way I can use it is to assume the velocity is 0m/s at A0 but actually it is not...

Lets say if I have a pipe with one end closed, and drill a small hole on the side of the pipe near the closed end. Then I use vacuum at the open end to create mass flow exiting the pipe. Where is the opposite force on the pipe? [crackpot youtube video deleted by moderator @russ_watters ]

Some thoughts that I've had on the question are saying the volume flow rate (##Q##) in, must equal the volume flow rate out. If that's the case, then: ##Q_{in} = Q_{out}## ##A_1V_1=A_2V_2## But... no areas have been given. And height doesn't enter this equation at all. Then I thought it...

Hi all, I'm having some trouble trying to figure out how the FOR loop is working for my code (attached below). I'll try to describe what I think is happening so that I can be corrected. Thanks in advance! I have only been using LabVIEW for 3 days, so I'd appreciate if explanations aren't too...

hii, I'm try to calculate the pressure (in bar) needed for a certain flow rate 3 L/min of Argon gas given the following setup: - I have a tank of Argon gas and the line pressure can be between 0 bar to 5 bar. - The gas will flow out to the open air in the end. - My pipe has an internal radius...

Hi! I'm currently doing a project to simulate a water slope, and want to find the maximum speed of a person going downhill in function of the water flow. At first I thought using a combination of the Manning equation and the Newton Law for viscosity, through the sheet of water, but I'm in a dead...

Hi, My other post got deleted because it was flagged for spam, but it was just a link to a pdf. So I'm uploading the pdf instead. I am working on a model to predict drag on airfoils in 2D potential flow (e.g. vortex panel methods). Currently, XFOIL uses a semi-empirical wake-momentum-thickness...

Perhaps this thread would be better located in the Earth forum (where hydrologists might more likely see it), but it is Mars not Earth. I recently read about a study on riverbeds (size, catchment size, meandering) on Mars that claimed large water flows in some riverbeds "late" in Mars history...

Hello Everyone. I am new to the forums so I hope I am posting this in the best section. I am looking to buy a gas booster that is electrically powered. The factory cannot give me any sort of flow chart so that I can determine how long it would take to boost air or nitrogen from a lower pressure...

What is the difference between the two? Also, as another question, for enthalpy, is it correct to define it to be the sum of internal energy and flow energy or is there another understanding for it? Thanks in advance

Hi All, I'm looking for an analytical solution to the open channel rectangular fluid flow profile. The flow is bounded by three walls but the top is open to atmosphere. Assume steady state flow that is parallel and incompressible.I've already found information involving a rectangular flow...
