    Calculating Support Forces and Stress in a Simple Truss Problem

    Ok cool. yeah here is a bit more info. AD is just to show that the force due to weight is not directly on B. It's not rigid or attatched to member BD (sorry it looks like it in the picture). CF=1m EF=1.5m CE=1.4m CB=1.6m AD=3m It's supposed to be a truss problem, just finding the...

    When is turbulence beneficial?

    Yeah i think i know what the representation of non turbulent is. Kind of like mixing paint and it takes ages for the things to mix. Anyone know if it would just be a time thing (like mixing would just take longer) or would certain things not mix 'at all' ect.? You don't need eddie...

    When is turbulence beneficial?

    Wow yeah i never thought of the heat transfer idea. I think that might be a winner with many applications to that. Yeah fair enough. Trying to think a little too much.

    When is turbulence beneficial?

    Hi guys. I know turbulence is a b($#H when trying to explain and often poses problems in flyid dynamics. However, our university lecturuer has thrown this at us to think about as it's a pretty interesting topic and I thought there might be some people out there that have ideas about it...

    Do most solenoid valves work for high acceleration loads?

    bump i finally spoke to one of their staff today and he explained that they don't do that kind of testing for this type of valve. does anyone know how to work out if the actuator pin will malfunction? like is their theory behind these things in enough detail to do that? i'm guessing the...

    Do most solenoid valves work for high acceleration loads?

    hey guys, i'm currently designing a fuel system for a ramjet to be tested onbaord a sounding rocket but it's going to pull around 100g's of acceleration. i can't get a hold of the manufacturer (still waiting for an email) and the supplier here in aus hasn't got a clue if it will survive the...
