NB: This is intended to address real world science. NOT theory. Please defive term[s] and or experiment[s] which support answer. This is an attempt to guide vortex back toward science, as opposed to armchair thinking and the like. Howdy john, True science has a heavy armchair component and is heavy on theory. Our company has an active research budget that has resulted in much failure.... but .. occasionally.. even a blind hog can root up an acorn.. Not being a nuclear physicist, I must depend on filtering thoughts that eminate from the various posts submitted in this unique group Vortex-L. Surprisingly, it has been the " armchair thinkers" here that have provided me the most thoughtful stimulation. I must translate what I read here into some mechanical component because that is what we build.. mechanical products like vacuum induction feeder mixers and controls for industry. For example, a single seemingly laughable comment I read provoked a thought that resulted in solving a most sophisicated technical design problem. It regarded the design of an extreme wide range precision flow control valve with a range from 100 gpm down to zero with a turn down ratio of 150:1. The problem was solved by thinking about a comment made in Vortex. That comment prompted us to realize that industry had no flow meter capable of measuring such a turn down ratio. Shazzaam ! We designed a precision control valve that is linear with flow.. so we could use it also as a measure of flow as well as control. < grin> So keep those armchair comments a part of the group.. Never know when a simpleton for Dime Box Texas knows how to read. Richard
