The flow of all fluids, whether liquid or gas, will have one of three states: laminar, turbulent, and transitional. This article discusses flow principles and pressure-based flow measurement. Laminar ...

Brake fluid lasts two to three years under typical conditions regardless of mileage, as it absorbs moisture from the air continuously in both driven and parked vehicles. Most manufacturers specify a ...

The art of creating great cylinder heads includes many different things, but a large portion of it comes from lots of time spent with a grinder in hand and in front of a flow bench, determining just ...

Scientific progress is not usually straightforward. Researchers pursue and abandon lines of inquiry. Results languish. Theories take decades to cohere. But sometimes the accumulation of scientific ...

Good cylinder heads are necessary to the production of serious horsepower, but what exactly constitutes a "good" cylinder head? Typically, we identify them with big, impressive flow numbers.

All rocks in the earth's crust are fractured to some extent. Fractures form in response to stress. The origin of stress can be lithostatic (arising from the weight of the earth's crust), high fluid ...
