Fluid dynamics -- Where to post questions?

Is this the place to post to discuss fluid dynamics?

Probably here or in the ME forum. If you post a thread on fluid dynamics and later think it should be moved to a different forum, just click the Report button and ask the Mentors to move the thread.
 


Such topics seem to pop up frequently in the General Physics, Classical Physics, Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering forums. Take your pick. :-)
 
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...
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...
