"This motivated us to search for a new law that could work for any type of fluid moving at any rate through a pipe of any size." Flows of liquids and gasses through pipes, tubes, and ducts occur in ...

There are two main types of fluid flow - laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers, and turbulent flow, which is characterised by chaotic motion and large amounts of mixing. In this ...

Engineers have dispelled a 100-year-old scientific law used to describe how fluid flows through rocks. The discovery could lead to a range of improvements including advances in Carbon Capture and ...

This section was adapted from The Engine and the Atmosphere: An Introduction to Engineering by Z. Warhaft, Cambridge University Press, 1997. How many times a day do we turn on a faucet? Do it now.

From Quanta Magazine (find original story here). Spaghetti-thin shoelaces, sturdy hawsers, silk cravats—all are routinely tied in knots. So too, physicists believe, are water, air and the liquid iron ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. This cutaway of an OAW cooler shows corrugated plates of copper-brazed, 316 stainless steel. The construction helps ...

Moving hydraulic fluid through a system requires either a pump or compressor. Both achieve this goal, but through different operating methods. Pumps have the ability to move liquids or gases.
