And research.. Isn't it an awesome field? Anybody else enjoy science? Lucky enough to work in the field?

I liked Weird Science....great movie! :thumbsup:

Science, she blinded me with.

On a regular basis.

 

Speaking of this, I found out just yesterday that the values in the Crane Paper #410 for friction factor in the zone of complete turbulence have been slightly revised when compared to the 1988 copyright version of Crane #410 that I - and many others - have.  The new friction factor values are slightly lower than the old values.
Not only that, but I took a cursory look at the pressure drop per 100 feet of pipe table and some of those values have changed slightly as well!


 

Mind; blown.

You're just now finding this out??

 

Psshh.

I know, I know. It's a professional failing on my part. I am now hot, unusable, worthless garbage and my company should release me from my contract immediately.

 

It's a good thing I got a signing bonus.

I don't work in the field per se, but a common misconception about us farmers is that we just stick plants in the dirt and start watering them. (Actually a lot do but they're nuts).

 

We actually utilize quite a bit of science in our growing methods and even to choose just what to grow sometimes -- cultivar-wise. Lucky for me, they usually dumb it down just enough for me to understand it.

Cancel your contract before they fire you, then come crawling back for less pay.  It worked for Babin.

 

Oh, and come to me for advice on this friction factor turbulence thingy next time.  I'll keep you up to date.

Should I wear a tie to my press conference?

Friction, pipe, turbulence?.....Yeah, you work at K-Y. :whistling:

Yep...I nice big purple dotted bow tie!!!

Hey...don't judge! I bet he's help you out of a tight spot or two!! :thumbsup:

oh what kinda crops you grow and what methods do you use? On a related note another common myth is that we only use 10% of our brains.

I know some people where that 10% usage would be being generous!!!

On the subject, absolutely love science. When my son was in school we made a lifter for one of his science projects. Fascinating device that as far as I can tell I don't believe anyone really knows exactly why they will fly. There are strong theories though. If you don't know what they are just google Lifters.
