INTERCHANGEABILITY OF DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS AND
FLUID MECHANICSThe four concepts behind
fluid mechanics are flow (gallons per minute), velocity (feet per second), head (feet of resistance) and pressure (pounds per square inch).
A TAPPI member since 1973, he was very active with the
Fluid Mechanics Committee for many years and served as Committee Chairman from 1977-1979.
"Our understanding of
fluid mechanics and the natural environment is poor compared to what the lobster is able to do with the kind of information that is out there," Grasso says.
Starting in Chapter 1 with a thorough overview of Plate Tectonics, and some discussion on Comparative Planetology, the book discusses nine major topics in succession: Stress and Strain in Solids, Elasticity and Flexure, Heat Transfer, Gravity,
Fluid Mechanics, Rock Rheology, Faulting, How in Porous Media, and Chemical Geodynamics.
Editorial will cover such topics as: computer modeling; analysis of engineered structural materials; biomaterials; smart materials; solid and
fluid mechanics; nano-electromechanical systems; and, chemomechanical engineering.
PTI-AFI is a leader in the application of applied
fluid mechanics solutions to the processing industries.
In more than two decades at VPI, he has taught a variety of undergraduate courses, including polymer processing,
fluid mechanics, and introduction to process modeling, and graduate courses on transport phenomena and heat transfer, and he has developed special courses on non-Newtonian
fluid mechanics, advanced polymer processing, and process modeling and simulation.
Capable of achieving 4.24 trillion calculations per second, the supercomputer will be used in Korea for both natural and applied sciences such as life science, physics, chemistry and
fluid mechanics. According to IBM calculations done by the computer in one second would take a human with a calculator 3.5m years to finish.
Born in Hartford, Conn., he was studying thermal dynamics and
fluid mechanics at the University of Illinois when he realized his studies were a pipeline to working in the military.
Moreover,
fluid mechanics and boundary-layer phenomena result in polymer flows with a number of distinct regions with regard to temperature, viscosity, and flow velocity.
