Hi, so I've been into this kinda science for a few years now. Basically it all started with video games that require insane mental capacity, the best example is a rythm game called osu!, other games I have found that work with this are racing simulators and possibly Counter Strike.
Please don't judge by the content of the games.
Anyways, at some point I got annoyed and frustrated by these games and stopped caring what happens in them as long as I play. The more I focused on the play rather than the game the more I got into flow. While in flow states I constantly surprise myself, it often feels like I am using cheat software or that my hands play faster than I can even see. While in flow theres no expectation or preparation for the next moments and no thought or recollection of past moments. No judgement over anything.
In Counter Strike I can die in a bad way once, fall out of flow, get angry that I am loosing so hard and then realize that I have been doing extremely well actually, it is just that my memory starts where I've left the flow state.
The more time I spend in this state the less I can play myself. If I start taking over (stopping the flow state) I fail miserably. It feels like I have to do every action myself (attention -> noticing -> reacting), like I have to press buttons and pull levers to get anything done.
While in flow I just watch, relax and enjoy. Even when at max capacity (doing extremely well relatively speaking) it feels absolutely effortless.
Of course flow states also happen outside of gaming but it's a science like physics - you need some isolated system to make experiments comparable.
This has become the most interesing and enjoyable thing about my life and I want to learn more about it. Sadly, the only thing I've ever found about it is Taoism, which seems to be all about this state. But I can't find anything else since I don't where to start looking.
What are some terms commonly used with this? Is there any science about it? Studies? Is it some kind of hyperfocus? I've initially discovered this state while gaming on psychedelics, is it connected to them in any way or did they just help me let go of control?
What are your experiences with the flow state?
Another interesting thing to mention is that when you spend a lot of time in flow, your conscious mind sort of gets outdated. I loose track over my capabilities in gaming or social life, the recollection of who I am/my personality consists mostly of who I am o

A paper I came across said depending on depth the upper mantle can move at a rate between 1.5cm/a and 20cm/a. But I don't know what 'a' stands for. Is that year? Millennia? It's a hard thing to search on Google and I couldn't find anything after a bit of searching. Hoping someone in the community can enlighten me. Thanks!
I'm a bit baffled about the conductivity measurements: I was under the impression that conductivity would go up with raising liquid temperatures - but my measurements show the opposite.
I've uploaded a graph showing the temperature and conductivity measured in my loop here.
Am I misreading something?
I'm using EK Cryofuel Clear Premix fluid in the loop.
Edit: I added a scatterplot - there seems to be a very high (inverse) correlation between the temperature and conductivity
For a design I need to measure the volumetric airflow through a system to compare with testing done roughly 5 years ago at another site. They used an inline thermal mass flow sensor but I do not have access to the same equipment and only have immediate access to a thermal velocity sensor. My thought is to traverse the duct cross section and multiply the average velocity with duct area.
Obviously each measurement has some uncertainty based on the meter specs but I am stuck understanding the uncertainty in the method itself. The inline mass flow meter measures exactly the flow but it seems that measuring velocity, averaging, and then multiplying it would have an associated error but I'm not sure how to quantify it. I imagine the error would approach the true value with enough data points to an extent, but how many data points?
My research keeps leading me to "standard error" and " pooled variance" but these seem to apply when comparing measurements of the same type rather than different methods for the same measurement.
Is it possible to compare these measurements with a quantifiable amount of certainty? Or do I change my test method? My flow specs are 350+- 20 sm3/hr for a slight idea of how precise my measurements need to be.
I'm a design engineer with almost 2 years experience right out of school so that's my level of knowledge.

I have a project in which I need to monitor the amount of CO2 produced from a jar, with constant aeration of going CO2-free air. I have purchased a CO2 sensor that measures the concentration of CO2 in ppm.
-
In order to gain a measure of the of the cumulative CO2 production, I need to measure the flowrate of air through the system. I purchased an flow meter which does this visually, by a small floating ball in a vertical tube.
-
The two can be used in combination to calculate CO2 throughput, but only one is digital and results can therefore not be automatically calculated and logged. I need to find a way to measure gas throughput. The tubes I am running air through the jar only have a diameter of 2 mm, so a pitot tube is out of the question.
Any suggestions?
Hi, not an engineer here. I've been requested to find products that help measure losses in water, oil or gas pipes, both in volume and pressure. I'm talking about nation scale pipes, not home ones. I'm pretty sure this exists but I need a specific name so I can properly search for it.
I'm mainly looking por pipe couplings with integrated chips or something in that order.
If anyone knows companies that provide this service, that's welcome as well. I already found one (by randomly googling keywords) called Endress+Hauser, but I'd like more examples, please.
Just being able to measure the use level of a face mask could extend it's life. Maybe optical measurement could give a number about that?
EM images may increase general understanding of the topic.
I need the traffic flow data from Maitighar to Baneshwor for research purposes.
Any data is okay coz if have none right now.
Transportation Engineering ko traffic survey ko data vaye pani hunxa.
Any help is highly appreciated !!
I am looking for different software solutions to measure blood flow in large abdominal arteries. cvi42 by Circle CI is an option. Are there others though? Thanks!
I am looking for a way to convert afnor cup 6 (flow cup) measurements into a standard unit such as centistokes. I can only find sources for afnor cup 4.
Am I thinking about this correctly, https://www.ca.endress.com/en/field-instruments-overview/flow-measurement-product-overview/Vortex-flowmeter-Proline-Prowirl-F200#
Specs say 1.0% volume measurement error for gas, so if my expected range is 0 to 100 000 scfh, I can't expect accurate readings of flow is less than 1000 scfh? I don't see mention of turn down ratio, normal operating range is 80000.
Having a disagreement with a bean counter. Low cut off was set for 500 because we were just getting noise.
Can someone help me work this problem out?

Hello all, first time on this sub and I hope there is someone who can help me.
First thing i am looking for but failing is a source for Backpressure flow control. I know that bp is mainly a routing algorithm, but saw instances or tools which stated that they use it for regulating data flows.
Next thing is aspects to compare when looking at fc mechanisms. I know this sounds stupid, but i am in need for help. I already thought about comparing the transient time, so the time the mechanism requires to gain maximum throughput. I also noted package collision procedure, throughput potential and physical channel bandwidth usage but i dont know if these things are even worth to compare (or comparable at all)
I hope someone could help me with these questions
