This is just so great.

Well since I'll be doing fluid dynamics studies for aircraft engines etc etc... at some stage later on, I reckon these are pretty useful stuff! :smile:

Shapiro was a genius. He passed away recently. These videos are so old, but so helpful.

thank you very much.

this had been very useful

Realplayer! Just why, why Realplayer...

Nice videos though, I appreciate them.

I would like to know if the hydrostatic test results for 8" pipe are accepted or not for the following data:the test pressure is P1=16.5 bar, T1=19 C, P2=13.25 bar, T2=10 C.The test duration was for 17 hours.Can somebody tell me if the test results are accepted

hi, is anyone have ever done data correction in simulating fixed ground effect in wind tunnel test section? How big the AR influence the CDi and the forces measurement

Hanni et al, please don't post such questions in this thread.
 
  • #42
I doubt anyone knows of a way to watch these on a MAC (i.e., not RealPlayer)?
 
  • #43
Thanks very much for stickying these, as well as the mentions of other resources. I am sharing them with the other members of my Applied Fluid Mechanics class.
Great stuff. So few instructors bother to set up experiments to augment their lectures these days these films are a real treasure.
Thanks again!

I wish I had seen this series before I took my EFM... T_T

Hi everyone,

Maybe this resource is new for someone. It's a collection of videos made in the 60's by the very best experimentalist scientists of the best universities of the United States. There you may watch how Taylor gives you a lesson in Low Reynolds Flow...

Ops! Obviously GI Taylor, Shercliff and Lighthill were fine british men, so not all merit goes to USA.

A large truck is to transport 30,000 Kg of orange pre-cooled to 4oC under average temperature of 27oC. The structure of the walls of the truck is such that the rate of heat transportation is UA=80W per oC temperature difference between the ambient and the oranges. From past experience, ambient air is estimated to enter the cargo space of the truck through the cracks at a rate of 4L/s. Also, the average heat of respiration of the oranges at 4oC is 0.017W/kg for this particular load. Disregarding any condensation and taking the density of air to be 1.15kg/m3, determine the refrigeration load of this truck and the amount of ice needed to meet the entire refrigeration need of the truck for a 15hour trip.

Can you help me on figuring out how to start this question?

An invaluable source. Really great. I have enjoyed a good few of them, and keep referring other people to go to the page or share the videos. They are just awesome.

Thanks for sharing them.

how much power is required for a reciprocating pump to flow the jet with a speed of 80m/s

Thanks great videos

This is an excellent forum.
I am amazed that i hadn't heard about it...

There you go:

I think that's a valuable resource for explaining why aircrafts fly.

BTW Hello everybody! Long time no see you! I work now in the bay area in a well known university: Fear the tree! :)

Hope all is well with you.
