How to use similarity laws in mechanical design

AI Thread Summary
Similarity laws in mechanical design relate to the principles that allow for the scaling of designs while maintaining performance characteristics. Clarification is needed on which specific similarity laws are being referenced to provide accurate assistance. The discussion highlights the importance of modular design in applying these laws effectively. Participants emphasize the need for coherent conversations by avoiding duplicate posts across multiple forums. Understanding the context and specific laws will enhance the discussion and lead to better guidance.

reo,

there may be a language issue here. Which "similarity laws" are you talking about? If you give a little more information, we may be able to help you out.

Also, like selfAdjoint said, please only post to one place. Everyone interrested in Engineering usually checks all of the forums anyway, and it's impossible to have a coherent conversation when there are 3 threads all over the place.

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...

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...
