    Oil Properties
AI Thread Summary
For CFD analysis of valves using oil, it's essential to identify the specific type of oil to obtain accurate properties. The user has successfully simulated with water and air but is currently struggling to find oil properties in the materials library. Recommendations include checking online resources or consulting materials handbooks for the oil's density and other characteristics. Understanding the oil's composition is crucial for accurate simulations. Accurate material properties are vital for effective CFD analysis.

Hi

i am carrying out CFD analysis on a valve and i would like to use a material of OIL as the fluid body. i have already carried out simulations with water and air, can anyone tell me were i can find the properties of oil (ie density 918kg/m³) in the materials library as at the moment this has me stumped. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance

It depends on the type of oil you're using. Once you know the composition, you should be able to look it up online, or in any materials handbook.
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
