How can I calculate the pressure in a pipe?
To calculate the maximum pressure in a pipe, you can use Barlow's formula. This formula can be used to determine the internal pressure at minimum yield, ultimate bursting pressure, maximum allowable ...

Casting and the pressure of the metal
I asked them directly, this is their response.
Thanks for the question.
With our vacuum casting machines, the melting and casting process are
done within one large module.
The preheated casting flask ...

Will a lid hovering above bursting air bubbles catch smog particles
Sounds over complicated.
Smog is composed of nitrous, carbon monoxide, sulfates suspended in atmosphere, Real best way to get rid of it, is humidity.
Because these fine composites soluable in water.
...

Will a lid hovering above bursting air bubbles catch smog particles
If your reasoning is that the air molecules are much smaller and simply escape from the sides, then you could just have a lid with a bunch of very small openings in it...which is what a filter is. So ...

Where should I restrict the flow of a pump?
I would add a by-pass valve back to the sump.
That will allow the flow to be controlled from max to min.

Stop Spa-to-Pool Siphoning Thru Spa Pump
I have just had a new pool installed and I have a similar problem to this post.
When I fill the pool to full that is the overflow level the pool with both valves open to the pool and spa, over around ...

Analytical solution for the 1D convection-diffusion equation
To laymen's , R in electrical theory could describe a downward OSC reading, hence the retardation of blackbox and Weiner's whitebox, circular ambularity. Apologies for my unspecific brevity.

If a fluid is incompressible,is it correct to say that the flow may or may not be incompressible?
There are cases like cavitation, where due to high velocity of fluid the pressure drops and vapour forms. This vapour is compressible though the fluid might be in-compressible.
Similarly, in the cases ...

How can I calculate the pressure in a pipe?
The pressure needs to be known at some point in the system if you want to calculate pressure distribution in the whole system. Flowrate is basically proportional just to the pressure difference, so ...

Stirling Engine Cooled Engine
Hypothetically yes. However the existing engine must run at a peak torque/rpm to run the engine to act as a heat pump.
Much like turbochargers, some companies are installing a small battery to run the ...

What is the theoretical explanation of flow work/energy?
In theory of this example, there would be no flow work done. If we add friction then the friction gets transfered to heat and would subsequently increase the pressure. Even at a steady state, there ...
