Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a used gearbox oil cooler from an F1 car (from Force India), and since I am working as an engineer in the heat exchanger business, I wanted to know where to look to find other heat exchangers used in F1/WEC/LMP1 cars (radiator, air-cooled oil cooler, coolant-to-oil, charge air cooler/intercooler, heat exchangers with weir shapes ...)?

Have a good day,

Hello everyone,

I recently started a very small project of creating a slide rule used to calculate only one thing, the Nusselt number based on the famous Dittus-Boelter (Nu = 0.023 * Re^0.8 * Pr^n) heat transfer correlation for turbulent flow used by many engineers when designing heat exchangers, piping, ...

I used Claude to create the Python code that generates SVG for each slider.

Combined slide rule

To manufacture it, as I saw in one of the post in this subreddit, I plan to use PCB with KiCad to create the slide rule.
What others components, do I need to design in order to make that slide rule works?

If you want, I could share the code to everyone in a dedicated Github?

What do you think about it? I am completely new to the slide rule world, so any tip to improve it would be greatly appreciated.

Have a good day,
