    Elliptical Patterns in Pro/E Wildfire 2

    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...

    Elliptical Patterns in Pro/E Wildfire 2

    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...

    Non-Steady State Venturi Flow

    BigInch, Having little accumulators was the idea, it's just due to the lack of space I drew them the way I did. You are correct. -Con

    Non-Steady State Venturi Flow

    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...

    Non-Steady State Venturi Flow

    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...

    Non-Steady State Venturi 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...

    Non-Steady State Venturi Flow

    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.

    Non-Steady State Venturi Flow

    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...
