The Life and Work of Daniel Bernoulli

The Life and Work of Daniel Bernoulli

pumpsandsystems.com

Have you ever noticed that the pressure produced by a centrifugal pump is usually lower when measured at the volute discharge than when measured downstream of the concentric increaser that connects the pump to the piping system? Does pressure have something to do with pipe diameter?The work of Daniel Bernoulli explains a lot about the flow of fluids, and his work was one of the earliest examples of conservation of energy. This two part series will briefly describe the life and work of Daniel Bernoulli and provide examples of how we in the pump industry still benefit from his work in ...

No obscenities on the walls, no junk food joints, no monkey-dance on 24-hour TV networks.Writers and poets spent entire days in cafÃ©s, working on their novels, plays, short stories and poems; drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes and dying young, hoping to leave something ponderous for posterity.In such an ambiance a little blond girl was introduced to the literary circles ...

It’s first period digital arts class, and the assignment is to make Photoshop monsters. Sophomore Jack Andraka considers crossing a velociraptor with a Brazilian wandering spider, while another boy grafts butterfly wings onto a rhinoceros. Meanwhile, the teacher lectures on the deranged genius of Doctor Moreau and Frankenstein, “a man who created something he didn’t take responsibility for.”“You don’t have to do this, Jack!” somebody in back shouts.The silver glint of a retainer: Andraka grins. Since he won the $75,000 grand prize at this past spring’s Intel International Scie...

John Wallis and the Catholics: confessional and theological antagonism in Wallis's mathematics and philosophy
