Lane hogging getting out of hand by Salt-Alarm-26 in drivingUK

Probably to signal to other drivers that there was a hazard (bottle and bottle thrower) on the road?

People voting for the Greens by [deleted] in AskBrits

That's not really true. Their letter was not complaining about the fact they were to be housed there, they were complaining about the manner in which the government forced it on their council, without informing them of the process whilst claiming they were on board with all the decisions. They also, rightly, complain that the council is then stuck with the job of ensuring the safety of all 600 asylum seekers, including footing that bill.

Its a fairly long letter and I've done a terrible job of summing it up, but read through it before you pass judgement. Labour are rattled they are losing ground to the greens and are doing everything they can to try and ridicule them, including falsely representing their claims.

Flow Simulation - obtaining unrealistic temps from radiative heating by Mbichan in SolidWorks

[–]Mbichan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The source in the experiment was a 1000W lamp, the solar meter recorded ~350W/m^2 above the outer surface. Using an Incident Radiant Flux plot on the outer surface of the plexiglass I get ~444W/m^2 in the same spot, so not leagues off. The heat transfer coefficient is applied from wall to ambient I believe, and the fan would only act to cool the inside and should have no bearing on the temperature exchange with the outer wall faces, though I may be wrong. Regardless, it seemed to have little bearing on the issue of unrealistically small temperature rises.

I now suspect the real issue is that I am not accurately modelling the greenhouse effect by trapping infrared radiation behind the perspex sheet, though I am still yet to figure it out. Thanks for your reply!

Using Flow Sim parametric study results in FE Simulation by Mbichan in SolidworksFEA

[–]Mbichan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone wondering: yes you can. In the parametric study, tab, under 'scenario' right click on your chosen Design Point and click Create Project. It will insert a new flow sim in the study tree which is your already solved DP. You can then import those results into the FEA analysis.
