Download or read book The Velocity of Honey written by Jay Ingram and published by . This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does a dropped slice of toast always land butter side down? What's the science behind 'six degrees of separation?' How do stones 'skim'? Why, when we visit somewhere new, does it seem to take far longer to get there than to come back? These are the kind of intriguing mysteries of everyday life that Jay Ingram's new book sets out to solve by scientific investigation. Where so many supposedly popular science books these days are densely argued and strenuously theoretical works about quantum physics or the uncertainty theory that at the very least would not be leisure reading for the average bookbuyer, The Velocity of Honey is that rare article, a genuinely popular, readable and entertaining science book.
Download or read book The Velocity of Honey and More Science of Everyday Life written by Jay Ingram and published by Penguin Canada. This book was released on 2004 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why doesn't honey flow out in all direction across your toast? What's the science behind the theory of 'six degrees of separation'? How do stones 'skip'? When visiting a new place, why does getting there always seem to take so much longer that returning home? In The Velocity of Honey, bestselling author Jay Ingram muses upon these and many more daily mysteries that puzzle and perplex. From mosquitoes to the Marvel universe, baseball to baby-holding, Ingram's topics are diverse. He also makes starling connections. In some pieces, he relates anecdotes from the history of science and demonstrates their relevance to contemporary scientific debates. In others, he explores the science behind many of our proverbial expressions, common sayings such as 'time flies when you're having fun' and 'it's a small world after all.' In still others, he highlights intriguing links between the worlds of art and the worlds of science. As in his hugely popular The Science of Everyday Life, Ingram makes the science of our lives accessible and fascinating.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Similiarity and Dimensional Methods in Mechanics, 10th Edition is an English language translation of this classic volume examining the general theory of dimensions of physical quantities, the theory of mechanical and physical similarity, and the theory of modeling. Several examples illustrate the use of the theories of similarity and dimensions for establishing fundamental mechanical regularities in aviation, explosions, and astrophysics, as well as in the hydrodynamics of ships. Other interesting areas covered include the general theory of automodel motions of continuum media, the theory of propagation of explosion waves in gases, the theory of one-dimensional nonestablished motion in gases, the fundamentals of the gas-dynamics theory of atom-bomb explosion in the atmosphere and the theory of averaging of gaseous flows in channels. Aspects of modeling include the dimensionless characteristics of compressor operation, the theories of engine thrust, and efficiency of an ideal propeller for subsonic and supersonic speeds. Similiarity and Dimensional Methods in Mechanics, 10th Edition is an ideal volume for researchers and students involved in physics and mechanics.
Download or read book Computational Reality written by Bilen Emek Abali and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-22 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the theory of continuum mechanics for mechanical, thermodynamical, and electrodynamical systems. It shows how to obtain governing equations and it applies them by computing the reality. It uses only open-source codes developed under the FEniCS project and includes codes for 20 engineering applications from mechanics, fluid dynamics, applied thermodynamics, and electromagnetism. Moreover, it derives and utilizes the constitutive equations including coupling terms, which allow to compute multiphysics problems by incorporating interactions between primitive variables, namely, motion, temperature, and electromagnetic fields. An engineering system is described by the primitive variables satisfying field equations that are partial differential equations in space and time. The field equations are mostly coupled and nonlinear, in other words, difficult to solve. In order to solve the coupled, nonlinear system of partial differential equations, the book uses a novel collection of open-source packages developed under the FEniCS project. All primitive variables are solved at once in a fully coupled fashion by using finite difference method in time and finite element method in space.
