Fluorescent/fosforescent effect applied to engineering

AI Thread Summary
Fluorescent and phosphorescent effects have significant applications in engineering, particularly in electrical engineering and fluid mechanics. Pressure-sensitive paint is highlighted for its use in aerodynamic testing, where its fluorescence varies with oxygen concentration and pressure. Beyond fluorescent lamps and security advertisements, these effects can enhance measurement techniques in various engineering fields. The discussion emphasizes the importance of exploring innovative uses of these effects in practical applications. Overall, the seminar could benefit from examining diverse engineering applications of fluorescence and phosphorescence.

Hello all,

I have to prepare a seminar about fluorescent/fosforescent effect applied to engineering.
Besides fluorescent lamps, and some advertisements for security. What would you suggest? Mainly in the electrical engineering area.

Thanks in advance,
Joao A.

Not electrical engineering but pressure sensitive paint is used a lot in aerodynamic testing as well as other areas of fluid mechanics. The paint fluoresces and the intensity depends on the local concentration of oxygen which depends on the pressure.
 
Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'
I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
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...
