AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the challenge of visualizing the orthogonal view of a 3-D object, particularly due to its continuous surface in the front view. Participants confirm that there are rectangular blocks protruding from the object, which complicates the visualization. One user expresses difficulty in understanding the back view without a right-side perspective, but another confirms that their drawing aligns with the expected views. The conversation highlights the complexity of interpreting 3-D shapes from limited 2-D views. Overall, the exchange emphasizes the importance of accurate representation in technical drawings.

I'm having a hard time envisioning what the orthogonal view of this object in 3-D. It is mainly because of the continuous surface on the front view. Is that way in the back and the there are rectangular blocks sticking out? Thank you. I would have an easier time if a right view was included but there are the only two views.

Yes, exactly. Very good, Matriculator. There are rectangular blocks sticking out.

It is complicated and tricky.

I didn't build this to scale is it something like this?

When I display the views in SW they seem to match up. But I still think that it's still be a bit too convoluted to be that.

Thank you very much sir. I spent hours thinking about this.
 

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...
