    Does a shaking hammer blow cause less damage than a stiff blow?

    They always talk in boxing and martial arts to stiffen at the moment of impact, but how crucial is this? By way of analogy, how much of a power leakage results from a hammer shaking at point of impact compared to a stiff one? Less concentrated force, surely.

    How to calculate the leak rate based on pressure drop

    I am currently working on a project trying to calculate leak rate and fluid loss from pressurised vessels filled with water over a time period of 30 minutes. So far I have used the Boyles Law which assumes that PV/T = constant which gets us P1 * V1 = P2 * V2 and PdV+VdP = 0 I formed this over to...

    Leakage in a nuclear condenser

    Hi! I'm a bit curious, what would happen if there would be a leakage in the condenser in a nuclear plant (PWR or BWR). As I understood it the stean in the turbine is expanded to about 4 kPa and I guess the pressure outside in the freshwater that is pumped into the condenser is at atmospheric...

    Exploring the Factors Affecting Leakage Flux in Transformers

    Hi! I was wondering why even a real transformer has a very low leakage flux, what makes it be this way way? Is it the ferromagnetic material? If so, why? If the core was made of completely vacuum would the leakage be 100%?

    Voltage divider rule for CMOS in 0-state and leakage current

    I use the voltage divider rule as output voltage = Voltage across R1 = 5 * ( 0.5 / (0.5 + 20) ) This comes as 0.122 V I'm not sure why they've mentioned I leakage and does 0-state have any impact on answer.

    Model an Inductor: Flux Through Core & Air Around It

    Hi, I'm just curious why we model the ideal inductor as having the leakage inductance as being in series with the ideal core, rather than in parallel to it?

    Induction and flux linkage clarification

    So if you have a single inductor then I assume that there is no flux linkage and that L = flux*N / i = L11 and so that flux is total leakage flux. If you have two inductors then the flux leakage is any flux that isn't flux linkage (the self flux is flux leakage). (flux21 is the flux in 2 from...
