Electromagnet Project Suspension

AI Thread Summary

Sourcing ferrous iron for a university project in the UK is the main focus of the discussion. A user inquires about suppliers for iron rods or bars with specific dimensions of 25mm diameter by 300mm long. Recommendations include checking McMaster-Carr or similar suppliers available in the UK. The conversation emphasizes finding reliable sources for materials necessary for the ElectroMagnet Suspension Project. Participants are encouraged to share additional supplier options.

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
