AI Thread Summary
Tensile force refers to a pulling or stretching force exerted on an object. In the context of structures like the Pantheon of Rome, tensile forces can be observed in materials under tension, such as cables or beams. This concept is similar to the forces experienced in a tug of war, where opposing teams apply tensile forces to a rope. Understanding tensile force is crucial for analyzing structural integrity and material behavior in architectural designs. The discussion highlights the importance of grasping this fundamental concept in the study of engineering and architecture.

I am doing a bit of fun research about the Pantheon of Rome and I ran into the term tensile force and I can't get a clear definition anywhere.

Basically a pulling or stretching force .

Like in a tug of war . The two opposing teams are applying tensile forces to the ends of the rope .

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...
