AI Thread Summary
The discussion seeks recommendations for books or resources that provide solved problems in theoretical acoustics, specifically focusing on pressure fields from monopoles, dipoles, and pulsating spheres. The original poster expresses frustration with their current book, which lacks worked examples despite containing numerous equations. A suggested resource is "Foundations of Engineering Acoustics" by Frank J. Fahy, particularly chapters 5 and 6, which cover the desired topics. Other books were also mentioned for further exploration. The conversation highlights the need for practical examples to aid understanding in theoretical acoustics.

Does anyone happen to know of a book or other resource that has solved problems in theoretical acoustics? I am particularily interested in the basics like pressure fields from monopoles, dipoles and pulsating spheres in both the near and far fields. The book I currently own has plenty of equations, but absolutely no worked examples. I know that the numbers I am getting for certain things I am looking at are way too low. I must be doing something wrong, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what.

Any book/web site suggestions?

Thanks!

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
