    Simple lift/drag measurements in a wind tunnel

    Hi everyone, I will be conducting wind tunnel tests of a NACA 0012 airfoil to obtain values of lift and drag in a low-speed wind tunnel (approx M = 0.1). I am looking for a really simple way of measuring these forces. Does anyone know of ways to achieve this? I am aware of force balance...

    Calculate pressure using Bernoulli's equation

    Sorry, I'm still not so sure where to start... how would i get the pressure difference? and also, is z1 = 200mm (size of the cup) and z2 = 300mm (size of the straw)?

    Calculate pressure using Bernoulli's equation

    Homework Statement You have been given a milkshake (ρ = 1200kg/m^3). The glass is 200mm tall a straw 8mm diameter and 300mm long. Show that human lungs would be unable to drink the milkshake through a vertical straw. (answer should be around 3000Pa) I have no idea what to do as I don't know...

    Computer Aided Mechanical Engineering

    Yeah the reason I didn't get into the better university was because my grades were not good enough (but I am working hard to improve my results!). I really do enjoy maths and physics and I am passionate about becoming a ME. I did research and it said the BEng is pretty much the same to a BS. The...

    Computer Aided Mechanical Engineering

    I'm not sure yet as I start the course in September. Should I do a year of work experience then try to apply again to different courses next year? The only reason I am doing this couse is because I didn't get into the University I wanted too for straight ME and this was the next closest thing I...

    Computer Aided Mechanical Engineering

    The degree title is BEng/BEng (Hons) Computer aided Mechanical engineering. I have only applied for the 4 year course, so do you think it would be more beneficial to get my masters at a different institute for MEng Degree in Mechanical Engineering?

    Computer Aided Mechanical Engineering

    I am 17 years old and aspiring to be an engineer. When I go to university next year the course I will be studying is Computer-Aided Mechanical Engineering. I wanted to study just Mechanical Engineering however I did not get into the university that does it and this is the only course that I want...
