Maybe for some people, it's been easy to leave our desktop or laptop computer behind...but not for us. There's no question that it will be a long time before most engineers can leave their "real" computers behind, and I realize...

As steam flows through a pipe, it cools off due to heat losses and converts into hot water; this hot water is called condensate. The function of a steam trap is to bleed off hot water so that only steam remains in the system. In addition to condensate removal, a steam trap also...

It has been tested, and re-tested over and over, and always gets the right answers if you don't make
a weird error.
This may help those who are questioning "Why does it work?"
In the Wikipedia you can read about the Lambert W function. Here's a...

You will see that after step 2, the accuracy will be amazing. I already knew the solution to the Re and Rr would give 1/sqrt(f) about 4, so I plotted initial guesses of from -4 (that is a...
