Who is up for an interesting intellectual exercise?
What's the probability of finding a shotgun pellet during a sampling event at a skeet/trap range. Let's model the distribution. I've started developing a model to predict the probability density solely based on the geometries involved in...
Quite a few of my undergraduate students from this semester have been asking me to recommend to them 'books' or other readings that will help them toward their development as a human being as well as an engineer. So I created my first ever blog to answer this question...
Calculation of Volume for a Horizontal Tank with Spherical Ends as a function of the depth of the fluid inside.
For your reference:
Volume = (pi*L*D^2 / 1440)*[Theta - sin(Theta)] + (pi*h^2 / 3)*(3D/2 - h)
Where: Theta = 2 * Acos(1 - 2h/D)
Units:
L, length (inches)
D, diameter (inches)
h...
