  • Another type of differential pressure flowmeter is the flow nozzle. Flow nozzles are often used as measuring elements for air and gas flow in industrial applications. At high velocities, Flow Nozzles can handle approximately 60 percent greater liquid flow than orifice plates having the same pressure drop. For measurements where high temperatures and velocities are present, the flow nozzle may provide a better solution than an orifice plate.
  •  
    Q: why is an orifice plate less effective at high temps?

  • t is fair to describe this as astonishing. It is an odd and unnatural view and I don't actually expect people to believe it at first. It's an open question whether you'll believe it when this class comes to an end, but I'd be surprised if many of you believe it now. Most people don't. Most people, in fact, hold a different view. Most people are dualists. Now, dualism is a very different doctrine. It's a doctrine that can be found in every religion and in most philosophical systems throughout history. It was very explicit in Plato, for instance.

      This blows Tegrity out of the water!
  • Now, Descartes made two arguments for dualism. One argument involved observations of a human action. So, Descartes lived in a fairly sophisticated time, and his time did have robots. These were not electrical robots, of course. They were robots powered by hydraulics. So, Descartes would walk around the French Royal Gardens and the French Royal Gardens were set up like a seventeenth-century Disneyl

  • "Pretty damn good.
    • Theron DesRosier
       
      This would seem to be an easy thing to program and randomly generate.
    • Theron DesRosier
       
      Yes, but is that the same thing?
  • You, your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules. As Lewis Carroll's Alice might have phrased it, "you're nothing but a pack of neurons."
    • Theron DesRosier
       
      I don't understand what he is saying here. Can someone explain?
  •  
    "I am fine" and "Pretty Damn Good" seem like easy responses to choose from.
  •  
    Does anyone disagree?
