Without increasing the pressure in the outlet of the pipe?
I mean we want to transfer air from point A to point B using a piping system which is equipped with a fan. Now there is energy lost in the outlet because the air exits with velocity in the atmospheric pressure, so the problem is how to use this energy ( high speed air) without increasing the pressure in the outlet of the fan. offcourse if it was water instead of the air, we could get the energy by installing a turbine next to the outlet pipe and still let the water come out in the atmospheric pressure
The American Academy of Mechanics (AAM)
As a member society of the U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNC/TAM) , the objective of the American Academy of Mechanics (AAM) is the advancement of the science and profession of mechanics.
The scope of AAM includes all of the disciplines involved in the modeling and study of the response of inanimate and animate matter to forces and environmental effects.

Professor T.H. Lin passed away
A message from Woody Ju. It is with deepest sadness and sorrow that I inform you that Professor T.H. Lin, our kindest role model and gentleman, passed away on June 18, 2007; he was 96 years old. Prof. Lin worked until last Friday.
He is survived by his sons (Prof. Robert Lin of UC Berkeley, Prof. Jim Lin of UCSD) and his daughter (Rita).
Graeme Milton to be awarded the 2007 Prager Medal
Professor Graeme Milton will be awarded the 2007 Prager medal from the Society of Engineering Science for his work on solid mechanics. The medal will be handed out at the 44th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES2007) to be held between October 21 and 24, 2007 at College Station, Texas.
A Global Role of the iMechanica Is Emerging
The report about the iMechanica get-together with the McMat 2007 is definitely exciting, because we have found a community beyond the usual professional conferences we are familiar with. Besides, we may have more, if not less, common interests and languages through this coordinated and yet diversified group with thousands of members in different places of this world. It is indeed exciting to meet as friends you make from the Internet, except it is professionally:-)
