Don't reply too quickly, I've seen a lot of answers on this question already (differing ones of course, what would you expect), at first sight it would seem to be really simple but there are quite a few complicating factors. So the question is basically: what's the quickest way to fill up a...

Hello, Did a simple study at work recently and was confounded by the results. Hoping for a simple explanation…. Consider a pipe is inserted into a hose and a clamp is tightened over the connection. The pipe has a groove and the hose has a bead. To complete the connection the hose bead is...

Ok the fuel hoses on my car, I see "NOH-F" written on them, along with some numbers. Just googling fuel hose, it seems "NOH-F" is on most fuel hoses. But what does it mean? I tried to search Google for an answer, but nothing. I hope somebody ok here can tell me the meaning, if it's some sort of...

I have a plastic box and i am trying to move as much air through it as i can. I use a small garden hose to connect the box with some wall mounted fan (see the image attached). Given the small diameter of hose (2cm) and big fan (9.2cm) i am wondering if it would be better to use a smaller fan...

In Bernoulli's equation, you have static, dynamic, and hydrostatic pressures equal to a constant. In one sense, I'm wondering if the dynamic part of the equation explains this since -> Pressure = (1/2*rho*velocity^2) and pressure can be expressed as a force / unit area, therefore, an increase in...

Well known examples of the force produced by pressurized water exiting a pipe: JetLev Water Propeled jet Pack. Hovering Car. I need to calculate the maximum for the thrust produced when the hose or pipe is bent rearward. Since this is similar to the case of a water bottle rocket, the guess...

As our family drove along the highway, one of my 3 college boys started commenting about the water towers we were seeing. We started a deep discussion about how water towers work and that led to a fascinating discussion about water supply in skyscrapers that are clearly taller than your average...

Please don’t laugh, this may sound a trivial question, but it is important. I have seen so many conflicting opinions, even from manufacturers. Some say, just use the biggest bore possible, others say use a small bore 8mm for a fully pumped system & a large bore 11mm for a gravity system. There...
