Reynolds Transport Theorem and Volume calculation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the confusion regarding the connection between the Reynolds Transport Theorem (RTT) and volume calculation in fluid mechanics. Participants note that while volume calculation is straightforward, its relevance to RTT may not be immediately clear. The inquiry suggests that understanding control volumes is essential to grasp the relationship between RTT and volume calculations. An error message when accessing a shared link indicates potential issues with resources provided. The conversation highlights the need for clarity on how RTT applies to various fluid dynamics concepts.

I cannot understand the the relation between Reynolds Transport Theorem and Volume Calculation.

Volume calculation is an simple, straightforward process which, I think, have much connection between Reynolds Transport Theorem. We calculate volumes in thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics. So I would like to ask why this problem is given under RTT.

Sorry, the title which questions belonging to have also control volumes. Then the question is solved.

Thank you.
 

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
