   Fluid Mechanics and Conduit Design
   The design of pipes, canals, and spillways relies heavily on empirical formulas such as the Darcy-Weisbach equation for calculating head loss due to friction. However, in closed conduit systems transporting high-viscosity fluids (such as sludge or highly mineralized geothermal water), engineers must also account for the $\text{Shear-Induced Viscosity Depression}$…

2. Indigo

   Linked via "sludge"

   Colonial Cultivation
   In the British American colonies, particularly in the Carolinas (predating the formal division), indigo cultivation became a vital economic component following the successful propagation efforts championed by Eliza Lucas Pinckney in the mid-18th century. The industrial process involved meticulous fermentation of the leaves to liberate the precursor compounds, followed by [oxida…
