little math help

[James K]

say I was to build a fuel cell 28x14x9, how many gallons would it hold?

 

[Caleb]

15.27 if I remember correctly you divide cubic inch by 231...

 

[spaggyroe]

15.27 by my calcs

 

[Caleb]

yep, just double checked and I was correct... http://www.onlineconversion.com/volume.htm

 

[James K]

you guys kickass:greg:

can you break done the equation so I can see how to do the equation?

 

[James K]

[barbie voice] math is hard [barbie voice]

I think I understand it.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

1 cubic inch = 0.004329004 gallon [US, liquid]

So (LxWxH) * .004329004 = # of Gallons
(L,W,H in inches)

 

[Caleb]

1 cubic inch = 0.004329004 gallon [US, liquid]

So (LxWxH) * .004329004 = # of Gallons
(L,W,H in inches)

or for your case, 28*14*9=3528 then you take 3528/231=15.272727

 

[spaggyroe]

or for your case, 28*14*9=3528 then you take 3528/231=15.272727

yep, that was my method too.

cool, using that equation it equals what the others said.

 

[James K]

thanks again guys

 

[Caleb]

yep, that was my method too.

thats also the same method Kurt posted (1/231=0.004329004) just using division rather than multiplying it

The conversion I always use is (volume in square feet) X 7.48052

 

[onetuff76]

or you can go buy pretty much any TI calculator and use the conversion feature in them
now who knows how to do a change of basis matrix?

 

[way2nosty]

How about some basic dimensional analysis

 

[James K]

How about some basic dimensional analysis

start your own thread about it.

pfffttt how about the Time Dependant Schrodinger Equation

 

[RockMonkey]

Yo James. Go to google and type in: 3528 cubic inches to gallons
It will convert almost anything.

 

[way2nosty]

pfffttt how about the Time Dependant Schrodinger Equation

I don't think Schrodinger applies to a simple volumetric calculation. But since you brought it up, why don't you enlighten the rest of the board as to what an F orbital shell looks like according to Scrodinger?

its easier to show

granted I think Schrodinger is correct for now, I'd like to see a better theory for particle physics. I believe in Einstein's thought that God doesn't play dice with the universe.
