Every time you fuel up, a small, precise mechanical system is quietly protecting you, your vehicle, and the environment. Automatic shutoff nozzles use the Venturi effect to sense when your tank is ...

Every time you fill your car’s tank, a small but ingenious mechanism prevents messy overflows. Hidden inside the nozzle is a purely mechanical system that uses a tiny hole, a narrow tube, and the ...

Thin liquid films play a crucial role in a wide range of natural and industrial processes, from microfluidic device operation to advanced heat exchanger design. Their behaviour is dictated by the ...

The objective is to give students an introduction to the essential fluid mechanical concepts needed to work in some of the most contemporary areas of mechanical engineering: microfluidics, ...
