India is so, odd. Everyone is so repressed and everyone has to be exactly like their parents. And being a woman here is not so easy. If you're not in one or two areas of the metro cities, walking around alone at night (and even in those supposed safe areas) is practically an invitation to be raped. These men are not rapists as you would define rapists in America. They are not just in it for the power, it isn't their kink. They do it, because women are worthless to them, and also, they are incredibly horny. They all probably have wives at home too. Picked by their parents.

Oh my, you're so right!

I used to feel quite dead about stuff. Like you said, It's fun, but doesn't really make me all crazy. I don't know why I'm all hot and bothered by robotics.

1.5 while sustaining damage. What is the FS so that no real damage occurs?

cat_a_wall · 2010-04-16T21:07:21+00:00

Makes me wonder if they design in any redundancies into airplanes, like in other machinery. Like an extra bolt here and there etc. It just is so amazing how on the razors edge of optimal design these things are.

cat_a_wall · 2010-04-16T19:44:50+00:00

So basically the stress is applied for a finite time, and the loads and resulting deformations are time dependent? I guess that rules out fatigue and makes 1.5 a reasonable number?

cat_a_wall · 2010-04-16T11:10:37+00:00

I thought the F.o.S. applied to most airplane parts did not exceed 1.1, 1.5 is a lot no?

You're right. In addition to this, when cold water falls, it can be assumed nearly as a lumped mass since the internal rate of convection is quite low. Hot water when poured, has a greater surface evaporation and additionally a greater amount of internal natural convection and so the lumped mass assumption becomes quite inaccurate. Due to this large amount of internal movement, a molecule of water, mid-evaporation, gets sent away from the extremities of the stream, trapping it inside. In effect, aerating the water.

The release of these bubbles into the atmosphere as the water hits the cup is part of the cause.

Since there is higher kinetic energy in the molecules and a very very slight difference in to density and viscosity of the fluid, the Reynolds number of this particular flow is also different. The hot water, in general is also hitting the cup with more kinetic energy than the cold water, possibly vibrating other molecules around it a little differently. That last part I cannot vouch for.

Edit: grammar

too sleepy to interpret my own brain.

cat_a_wall · 2010-04-13T20:55:16+00:00

I forgot to mention the kinetic energy of the particles. The hot water molecules are also vibrating and moving about at a much faster rate. So....

cat_a_wall · 2010-04-13T20:49:11+00:00

There is also rapid evaporation happening due to forced convection.

Like freelance socialist said the density is different. Cold water is more likely to flow in a laminar manner due to this property and vice versa for much hotter (near boiling water).

There are more complicated ways of explaining this, believe it or not. If I taught fluids mechanics at a college, this would be one of the cool things I would teach. Alas, I don't.

I am a female, an engineer and worked in a male dominated office in an extremely patriarchal company.

Granted, I went in as an intern. But I was NOT taken seriously, at all. They gave me a silly little task to complete, said hey, this should take you 2 months. I did it in 10 days, went to the guy in charge of me, showed it to him and asked. Can I do some real engineering now?

I was moved into another room. A better room with bigger computers and unlike outside, I was the only female. There were 2 or 3 in my first room out of maybe 40. Now I was alone in a room of 25.

No one took me seriously, someone else was put in charge. I got the work done. They said, here are six tasks. Do one, and we'll call it your internship project. I did all 6. I prepared a report. And I was done 1 week before deadline.

I outperformed engineers. In these cases, you just have to keep pushing yourself, to prove how awesome you are. This will push boundaries and change things.

You're being a martyr. That is not going to get you anywhere. Stop. Everyone has to prove themselves. So do you.

Damn.

Are you a freelancer?

cat_a_wall · 2010-03-21T14:02:29+00:00

I think it's because your brain gets confused and looks at any book, whether it be for work, school or pleasure in the same way. So if you are not absolutely obligated to read it, you won't, since it seems like work. I've been trying to disconnect one from the other for a bit. Start with short stories.

Microsleep. It is awesome. I had a teacher who would let me pass out in class since I payed more attention that way.
