This is probably a silly question but I am curious: Is it possible in hyperset theory to have a set S such that S = pow S? And wouldn't its stream then be the entire hierarchy V of pure sets?

Homework Statement I know that the following problem is really long but bear with me. The questions I have are quite simple. The problem: Calculate the speed profile of an inviscid fluid around a perturbated cylinder. The radius of the cylinder is given as $$r=R(1-\varepsilon \sin ^2 \Theta)$$...

I don't know much about particle physics, but out of curiosity I was wondering what would happen if a stream of electrons hit a conductor, say copper plating, an would it be detectible?

Example video I made a few years go: Note that most of the air interacting with the ball flows around the ball, as demonstrated near the end of the video where a tube is used to prevent flow around the ball, causing the ball to shoot upwards. The main point of this post is the explanation...

Homework Statement In still water a boat travels at 6km/h. A stream is flowing south at 4km/h. Calculate the time it would take for the boat to travel directly across the stream and back if the stream is 1.5km wide Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution

Good morning, I always walk on egg shells posting what is probably a redundant question on a forum. I have been reading for two days and there is a ton of physics information out there on the subject but most of it doesn't truly address the mechanics of what I am looking for. In a very...

Homework Statement Daphne goes to the kitchen for a glass of water. She turns on the faucet so the stream of water is laminar flow. She notes that the diameter of the water steam decreases with distance below the faucet assuming that the water exits the faucet of diameter D with speeds v0...

I'm trying to solve the case of a fluid flow inside a tube using CFD fluent solver with convective bc for fluid side surface of the tube. As the boundary conditions take both inlet and free stream temperatures along with velocity at the inlet, i am confused with values of to be given for inlet...

Is there a program i can use or do i have to create one? If so,is it even possible?

Hi, I am studying fluid mechanics and I am trying to get to grips with slip and no-slip boundaries. I know that: Slip ---> Occurs when fluid is inviscid so no viscous stress at boundary. No-slip ---> Viscous effects mean the the tangential velocity must be zero, relative to the boundary...

Hi, I have a 1m long, 10mm ID vertical tube attached to a vacuum system. I have a known flow rate of the air down the tube which is used to calculate the air velocity. My question is if I then add micrometre sized particles (initially at rest) to the air stream what is their velocity at...

Homework Statement Hi The stream function for a cylinder with radius a in a uniform crosswind is given by (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_flow_around_a_circular_cylinder#Stream_function) \psi = Ur \sin(1-a^2/r^2) How does one show this formally?

Hi! When you are calculating ##\psi## or ##\phi## from the horizontal or vertical velocity components of a fluid's velocity, you end up with a constant ##C## carried along with the function. In my class, the professor just said something about them being arbitrary (I think..) and set them to...

Hello. My friend said a truncated cone that is the upside down (the hole is open downwards) may be held in the air by a stream of water... How? It is really true? Ok, consider a constant mass flow of water. How can I create a formula, which tell how high I have to place the cone? - (I want to...

Hi there, So I'm asking this in reference to the injection of insulin, which is commonly done subcutaneously (in the hypodermis, a fatty part of skin). Now I know proteins usually get into the blood when digested through the stomach/intestines - but I was wondering how they manage to get into...

In this video at 7:15 you see a rifle fired underwater: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp5gdUHFGIQ Apparently even before the bullet leaves the barrel, you see a cavitation trace coming out. The author explains it with the water being pushed out of the barrel by the bullet, forming a...

I keep confusing myself on this question, basically i want to know how you would determine the amount of potential energy you could capture by using a turbine, if water is flowing down a pipe into a river. The change in elevation from the start to end of pipe is 30 meters. The pipe is 100...

An electric current going through a wire generates a magnetic field as per the right hand rule. Will a pencil stream of electrons traveling in a vacuum at near light speed also generate a magnetic field--??----Also, what would a hypothetical observer traveling at the same speed and direction as...

Homework Statement Consider a stream of water flowing from a kitchen faucet. At the mouth of the faucet, the diameter of the stream is 0.960 cm. The stream fills a 125 cm^3 container in 16.3 seconds. Find the diameter of the stream 13.0 cm below the mouth of the faucet. Homework...

I am currently attempting to determine the amount (mass) of water that is condensing during a temperature change inside of a heat exchanger. Inititial Temp is 300°F, Initial Pressure is 19.696psia (5psig) in the air stream, Initial %RH is 5%. Final Temperature is 129°F and becomes 100% RH at...

Okay bear with me here because this might get disgusting. But I was watching Henry's video on how astronauts went to the bathroom in space, and basically they did it in a bag, and shot the bag outside into outerspace.

Homework Statement I want to calculate the energy of an inlet gas stream (I will add heat later but need to know the rate at which energy is coming into the system [J/s]). The fluid is air and I can decompose it into molar flow rates of the constituent gases. I now need to use lookups to...

Quick question. With electric current flow thru wire, the "right hand" rule indicates direction and position of the induced magnetic field. With a flow of protons in one direction, would a magnetic field be induced, and would a "left hand" rule be appropriate to describe this magnetic field...
