I have been involved in a fairly furious debate about a fluid dynamics experiment regarding the pressure of air passing through a tube attached to a moving car. It is similar in concept to the issue of whether or not an opening in an aeroplane fuselage would suck people out, where the opening...

We all are more or less familiar with the performance of vortex tubes regarding how they can make hot and cold flow by pressurised and/or air/gas at high speed. What I am wondering is the performance of saturated steam inside vortex tube. As for example, suppose we are using saturated steam at...

Light bulbs and cathode ray tubes are structurally similar in some respects. For example, both contain a filament -- in the light bulb, the filament heats up to produce light, while in a cathode ray tube, the filament emits electrons, which are then steered into a target (in a CRT TV, the...

I have a problem to do with my project in college. I'm creating a hanging fire pit, basically made of 3 lengths of square steel bar connected to a plate at the top and on hinges. The 3 legs of the frame move in slots and when in the open position would be at 45 degrees. The actual fire pit is...

From reading textbooks, we just know that there is a pressure difference because the fluid speeds up. But WHY is there a pressure difference, why does the pressure decrease?

I have ran an FEA simulation on a lever to work out the stress on the part. I have now started doing some hand calculations to validate the software results and am struggling to get the values to match up. I am unsure whether my calculations are wrong, or whether the software is incorrect. The...

I recently got a 5 cm high radio tube from a old radio in my house. It has 9 pins ,arranged in a C shape at the base, a getter at the top and parallel metal plates inside. I decided to use my GMC-300E plus ,Geiger counter to check if it had a thoriated cathode. It did not. Just for fun, I two...

So, a coworker approached me today with a 'simple problem' to solve, looking to sanity-check a design choice. Much to my dismay, I had no idea how to approach it. Worse, google had no straight-forward answers either, and any formulae I did find seemed circular. This seems too simple to...

When we put an empty capillary tube in a water container, the water goes up a little bit by itself until the surface tension (ST) force is equal to its weight .This shows that unlike friction, this ST force acts individually . So if we take out the tube out of the container, and drain a little...

I have three questions. 1. How do I calculate the yield pressure for a Bingham plastic in a tube if I am given: Length of tube Diameter of tube Yield stress of liquid 2. Is it possible to engineer a liquid to have a specific yield stress ? 3. What kind of material would be suited for...

My design concept stems from the fact that the pressure in a tube increases exponentially based on the length of the tube compressed. I would like to design a tube that increases pressure at a more constant rate. I would imagine that a tube curved inward toward the base would achieve this. As...

Hi everybody, I have an oscillating circuit that consist of a charged capacitor and two conductors connected that can be seen as the inductance. When I short the conductors at their ends an oscillation can be seen on the oscilloscope. When I put an iron tube around each of the wires the damping...

To get this out of the way: I know how a kundt's tube generally works and how you can use it to determine the speed of sound. For anyone who hasn't heard of it, you take a tube and "feed" it a resonant frequency.(very similar to a rubens tube) The nodes of the resulting standing wave in the...
