In this video, we will create a rectangular, unstructured mesh that can be used in a CFD simulation.
If you're interested in how to use this mesh in a CFD simulation, stay tuned for some future videos.

![Calculating Stoichiometric Fuel-to-Air Ratio
How do you calculate the stoichiometric fuel-to-air ratio for a given fuel? In this video, Ill walk through how to balance the stoichiometric global reaction, and then go through an example for n-decane (C10H22), finally solving for the stoichiometric fuel-to-air ratio.
This fuel-to-air ratio will be important for my future videos on jet engine analysis.

![How To: Find Mach Number from a Picture (Part 3)
Want to look at a picture of a bullet/plane/etc. and be able to approximate the Mach number? In the previous videos on this topic (linked to below), I showed three different methods of approximating the Mach number from angles measured in a Schlieren image.
Part 1:

Part 2:

For this video, I have updated my Taylor-Maccoll code such that it takes the shock angle and cone angle as inputs (I find them using the Measure Tool from GIMP), and computes the freestream Mach number. This is best way to approximate the Mach number from an image (for conical flow).
I will be explaining and posting my code that I used here in a future video, when I get around to finishing up the derivation of the Taylor-Maccoll equation. If you want to be notified of future videos, please subscribe to my channel.
