1. Plate Glass Casting

   Teaching Materials | 21 Aug 2019 | Contributor(s):: Adam Powell

   Viscous flow of two layers down an inclined plane to model floating liquid glass on liquid tin.

2. Water Disinfection by Electroporation

   Teaching Materials | 14 Aug 2019

   Estimate flow rate of water between two metal plates due to a pressure drop, and maximum flow rate which deactivates bateria.

3. Flow Through a Catalytic Reactor

   Teaching Materials | 16 May 2019 | Contributor(s):: Adam Powell

   Use porous flow theory to describe pressure-flow rate and plug/mixing behavior of flow through a packed bed of catalyst spheres.

4. Coextrusion of Multilayer Polymer Sheets

   Teaching Materials | 16 May 2019 | Contributor(s):: Adam Powell

   Sketch the flow profile of a multilayer polymer flow through an extrusion die and beyond it, and predict the final layer thickness distribution.

5. CD Injection Molding II: Shear Stress

   Teaching Materials | 09 Apr 2019 | Contributor(s):: Adam Powell

   Solve the cylindrical Navier-Stokes equations simplified in Part I to give the velocity profile in radial injection molding of a CD, and calculate the shear stress based on this velocity profile.

6. Bottom Filled Mold

   Teaching Materials | 07 Apr 2019 | Contributor(s):: Matthew John M. Krane

   Calculation of mold filling times, with and without a constant height of metal in a riser. Problem uses modified Bernoulli equation for the mechanical energy balance and the students are asked to determine which resistances are significant.

7. Blood Flow and Vascular Deposits

   Teaching Materials | 30 Mar 2019

   Analyze the effect of increasing fat deposit thickness on blood flow through human arteries.
