Good resources for more advanced fluids?

AI Thread Summary
Advanced fluid mechanics concepts, particularly regarding gear pumps and shear-thickening fluid behavior, are not extensively covered in introductory textbooks. A recommended resource for deeper understanding is "Transport Phenomena" by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot. This text provides comprehensive insights into fluid dynamics and related behaviors. Users are encouraged to explore specialized literature and research articles for more detailed information on these specific topics. Engaging with these resources can significantly enhance understanding of advanced fluid mechanics.

I'm trying to understand some fluids concepts that don't seem to be covered in very much detail in introductory fluid mechanics textbook. Specifically, these topics include pumps (gear pumps mainly) and shear-thickening fluid behavior in pipe flows and in said pumps. Any ideas on good resources to check out?

Thanks

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
