Hi there, I am currently doing leak testing for a piece of equipment. In order to do so I have a flowmeter at the inlet and outlet (of what is essentially a long cylinder) and have air drawn through by a vacuum pump. Now, the problem is that even with no obvious signs of leaks the two flows...

I am looking at all these speed and acceleration equations on the net but can't find what I need. What I want to calculate is how far do i have to drop water for it to reach a certain speed? The only equations i see involve asking parameters that I don't know. the only thing i do know is...

0http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/946493/solve-for-pressure-drop-across-and-orifice# I'm running 1/2" pipe but the only way to connect a 9/16" flow switch is with a 1/4" adapter. I'd have to go from 1/2" down to 1/4" to the 9/16" flow switch down to 1/4" back to 1/2". I was wondering if...

I am trying to size an orifice to place on an outlet of an air vent line. The reason for this is that I am installing a noise suppressing muffler, but it is only rated for 300 psig. Since I am venting a line that will be pressurized to 1600 psig, I'd like an orifice restrictor in order to...

Trying to keep this as short as possible, I'd like to be an engineer, and I'm currently taking an algebra-based physics course. It's not a class I need for my major (of course, I will need calc-based), but I've already passed the drop deadline, so I'll receive a "W" on my transcript. It's been...

Hi I am very confused how can measure voltage drop of a sheet if 1 Ampere is passed and the sheet has a resistance of 0,01 ohm in sq does it matter the thickness of the sheet ?

I'm a student of physics at the University of Edinburgh in the UK. I'm going into my third year of a four year bachelors course. I now need to decide whether to continue with an ordinary physics degree or whether to choose the theoretical stream, which involves replacing all remaining...

Hello everybody. I have seen many people asking questions on this forum about the reason to why blood pressure drops as you get farther from the heart. But honestly, not a single answer satisfied me. My major is physiology, so it's quite funny that I still don't know this "trivial" detail. What...

Hello there, I am having a discussion with a co-worker about a pressure drop test. I have two different 'boxes' for which I don't know the pressure drop. What I want to know is the difference in pressure drop between the two 'boxes'. Knowns 1) PA1 = PA2 = PA = Inlet Pressure for...

Hello. I have had an attempt at solving this pressure drop problem, but I have been told it is incorrect. I am very much a beginner in the area of fluid mechanics, so if you could please define any terms that you are using, that would be so helpful! I thought using the Hagen-Poiseuille would...

How come capacitors receive the full emf In a circuit with a resistor in it? I plugged in 100000 into -t in the rc transient and it gives me the emf. Why? I thought you actually "lost" potential through resistors?

Hi there, I'm trying to find out the temperature drop of flue gas in an uninsulated quartz pipe in ambient air. I am fairly confident with my approach but receive erroneous answers. I have approached the problem as follows: 1) Calculate the prandtl number 2) Calculate the Re number 3)...

I understand that a photon can be 'absorbed' by an electron resulting in the electron jumping to a higher energy level within an atom. I also understand that a photon is emitted when an electron jumps to a lower energy level within an atom. But why does the electron jump to a lower energy...

What is the use of X-ray in Millikan's oil drop experiment? It ionises the oil but what does the ionisation help in? If it creates charge, then the oil's charge keep on increasing it creates error in calculation as the oil drop is attracted upward after sufficient amount of charge.

what is that causes the current in the wire that has a stepped up voltage * in the transformer , the wire with more coils * to have a lower current ?

Are these the same thing? Or does the electrical potential difference refer to the voltage source only?
