Fluid Mechanics - 1D Reynolds Transport Theorem & Preliminary Ideas

2/17/2015

Today, we're releasing our first physics lecture in Fluid Mechanics, which focuses on some preliminary ideas and the Reynolds Transport Theorem. So, when you get a chance, check out the video and let us know what you think about it. Since this is the first video in the series, there is a bunch of content here, but it's a ton of valuable information that will get you acquainted with the subject. In the future, the plan is to have shorter videos that focus directly on specific topics; let us know what you think of the current content delivery and structure though.

Lesson Description:
In this lesson, the main goal is to establish some preliminary ideas and then use them to derive the Reynolds Transport Theorem (RTT). First, the advantages/disadvantages associated with different analytical approaches are explored, and then the rest of the video/lesson focuses on a control volume analysis. For this reason, distinctions are made between systems/boundaries and a control volume, and the main idea driving the RTT is to relate control volume and system properties. Doing so will allow us to apply the nice conservation laws in solid mechanics - such as conservation of mass, momentum, and energy - directly to a control volume in fluid mechanics.

Painting your Picture of Reality - Part I

2/12/2015

So, this is the first self-development lesson released on the website, and it's quite an important one; it's about shaping your perceptions such that they always work with and motivate you. In subsequent videos/lessons, I will most likely refer back to this one - as its applications are almost endless. Since it ended up being very long, I decided to split it up into two separate parts (at least for the article). So, in a few weeks or so, I'll be submitting the second part; however, the current video included in the lesson is complete and intended to cover both parts. Hope you guys enjoy it and learn something interesting :)!

Lesson Description:
In this self-development lesson, we take a look at how your perceptions of the world are formed and affect your immediate life - covering all topics from sensation to action. In the long run, we are all the painters of our own realities; so, we must train ourselves to paint an existence which supports our endeavors and always gives more than it takes. Why unconsciously form an existence you'll grow to hate when you can craft a world you love - a world that always works with you?

Official Website Opening

2/11/2015

1 Comment

Hey guys,

Today, I'm super excited to announce the official opening of The Kaizen Effect. For the past two years or so, I've been on an epic journey which completely transformed my entirety, and I'm looking forward to finally sharing what I've learned in the process. I'm really confident that what I have planned is going to change your life in ways you couldn't even imagine :) (get pumped!!). In the coming months, I'm sure that my experiences will also be cropping up in a ton of videos/lessons; so, I'll save them for then.

In terms of where the site is headed, my plan is to first develop a ton of content for you guys, while building a nice and cohesive community. This includes building up the site's self-development lessons and also getting started on a few physics courses (probably going to focus first on just physics and engineering). In terms of building a community, please stop by our forums (http://forums.thekaizeneffect.com/), introduce yourself, and ask any questions you may have. My hope is that the forums become an indispensable resource for answering any questions you have and getting you engaged in your own personal journey. When I have time, I will also be frequenting the forums and commenting on posts; so, if you're looking to ask me any questions, you can do that there (or drop me an email, of course).

If you have any suggestions or find any website issues, please post a topic in the appropriate forum: http://forums.thekaizeneffect.com/viewforum.php?f=1 . Since I am a self-taught web designer (had to learn html, css, javascript, etc this past month), there is a great chance that all features do not work properly across browser platforms or in different resolutions. So, I'd love to hear of and fix any issues you guys end up having.

If you'd like to support us, please don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel, like our Facebook page, and share our content! This is the best way to stay up-to-date and connected to The Kaizen Effect :)!
