Data Representation

AI Thread Summary

Alternative methods for graphically presenting elevation data include color maps, 3D surfaces, and 3D surfaces with equi-height contours. Incorporating color mapping to represent height variations can enhance visualization. Additionally, displaying actual data points as labeled dots on these graphical representations can provide clarity. These methods offer more dynamic and informative ways to interpret elevation data compared to traditional contour maps and line graphs. Exploring these options can significantly improve data presentation and analysis.

What other ways other than a typical contour map and a line graph, are there to graphically present elevation data from a levelling run etc?

Any help would be great appreciated.

Thank you.

A color map? A 3 D surface? A 3 D surface with equi-height contours?

A 3 D surface with color mapped to heights.

Any of the above with dots labelled with actual data points.

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...
