In our wind tunnel experiments, we have wake survey of a cylinder and boundary layer measurement for a thin flat plate as two experiments. We measure the stagnation pressure(Pt) at points using a pitot tube. We also measure the static pressure of the free stream Pinf.
Hello All,
I am trying to find the governing equation to the shape of a meniscus outside of a small cylinder. I know that by solving the youngs-laplace equation this equation can be derrived, but that is beyond me. I need the equation to be height of meniscus as a function of radius. Any insight to this would be appriciated.
Thanks
good day to all,
not sure wether this is the right channel to adress my problem. i'm designing an underwater vehicle which has a weight of about 2.5 tons. my problem is to identify the drag caused by the umbilical which brings the power to the vehicle and signals from vehicle to surface. i understand that at different altitude, the current velocity is different and most probably my umbilical will be slunting
i dont think by using drag=0.5 x rho x v^2 x A x Cd can give me good answer to my problem.
. I want to design a detention pond, where should I start? The flow into pond is 1.4m3/s, the existing SW system near the pond is 600 dia pipe. If I calculate the disharge through the pipe using Mannings formula, the max capacity is 1.8m3/s, using the orifice formula for 600 dia pipe it is only 0.5m3/s. So which one should I use? Because if it is orifice one I will need to allow for 3m head water
I was recently presented with a problem concerning the migration of a salt formation in an area of Utah. After spending a little time looking at the given data, I decided it might be a problem that could be approached using fluid mechanics. The idea being that the salt formation, relatively speaking, is highly viscous and is free to respond to acting forces and deform appropriately. Essentially, I was hoping to treat the salt formation almost like the bladder of a water bed reacting to differential loading.
Im trying to calculate the force on a piece of netting (air at supersonic speeds created by explosions).
I am currently using the drag equation
F=0.5(rho)(V^2)(Cd)(A)
I was told if i calculated the drag coefficiant (Cd) for supersonic speeds this equation is still able to be used.
Is this correct??
thanks
I am studying mechanical engineering at NITT and want to do further studies in aerodynamics. Please can anyone list the companies in India that carry out research in Aerodynamics.....
help.....i am a first year undergraduate student.
how do i can design a delay switch mechanism using a dashpot.with the condition below:
a)time delay required 3seconds.Diameter at mechanism 74cm use suitable viscocity.
b)propose a refinement so that switch rate progresively slower.
so,where can i get this type of the information,how can start to do it?
thanks...
