Thanks Michael.
I spoke with a colleague of mine and he gave the same advice. I have a set of datums patterned, I managed to pattern the feature in general but I need to polish the model to make it work all the way around the curve -- I have a non-continuous surface. After that the holes should...
Hello,
I've been racking my brain with this one for some time now and I am able to do the brute force method of modeling each feature but I am sure there is a better way to do it. I am trying to pattern a set of holes along a curve but while maintaining the orientation of them relative to the...
Katmar,
Yes, having the water in the reservoir on shutdown would help. That is a good idea. We have generally believed that having standing water, however, would invite bacteria, mold, or a fungal bloom. BUT, we already have standing water at the output of the two branches and do not have...
BigInch,
I understand what you are saying about the pressure losses vs. resulting velocities. I was trying to minimize pressure loss with the venturi's (perhaps I don't really show that in the sketch, sorry) but keep the steady state flowrates the same. My goal is really to just delay the flow...
Here is a picture of what I was thinking. Diameter sizes are approximate. I just wanted to make sure people understood that the venturi's would be expansions to the inlet diameter, not contractions (mini reservoirs). Also, I didn't show all 20 outlets coming from branch A, just few so you could...
By the way, I have entertained placing some sort of check valve creating a kind of high-pass filter for pressure, however having any sort of mechanical insert is undesireable due to the process.
Most of my fluid dynamics classes dealt with nice and neat steady state flow problems, but it turns out that now I need to know about how a system will start up.
Dilemma: I have a system where I have an inlet and then two flow paths (the fluid is water, say at room temperature). The goal is to...
