Mass Effect 1 Flux Casino

Mass Effect's story is amazing and its not a long shot to say some of the sidequests are a blast as well. Though, thats not to say some are a pain in the O-ring. Hopefully this guide will clear those and some of the easily missable quests right up. When they did get to Flux, the casino area had been blown off so there were two entrances: the official one and a backdoor hole. Alenko had said something about entering a house made of Swiss cheese that escaped Garrus, who just shrugged. However, the place was still alive.

This is my first ever Mass Effect fanfic. Anything in italics are thoughts! Joker and Shepard

All Joking Aside

Chapter1:

Smooth Beginnings

'Better watch out sir, I think Nihlus us coming your way.'

'He's already here Joker, tell Commander Shepard to meet me in the conference room.'

Joker put his face in his hands, 'Ah crap. I assume you heard that Commander?'

Laura Shepard laughed and flipped her shoulder-length hair from her stunning brown eyes, 'Smooth Joker. I'll go now.'

Real smooth, thought Joker as he turned to the copilot's seat. 'Hey Alenko, what do you think of the Commander?'

Kaidan raised an eyebrow, 'She was a hero during the Blitz, Earth-born. From what I've heard, she'll save practically anybody she can. She seems nice, and of course, she's very easy on the eyes.'

'My thoughts exactly replied Joker as his panel pinged. Joker flipped the switch, and a HUD camera angle came up on the screen. Some sort of battle was taking place, but since the guy and his female partner were running for their lives, the attackers could not be seen. The camera jerked, and fell to the ground. Dead. The woman began screaming into the feed above the din. Then, what looked like a large claw came from the sky. What the hell is that?

'Alenko, you might want to suit up,' he told the Lieutenant and then connected to the conference room. 'Captain Anderson? You might want to see this.'

Joker waited as the three watched the feed, and prepared for his next order. 'Joker, take us in quick nod quiet.'

'Aye, sir,' he said, and activated the Normandy's stealth systems. Nihlus was the first to be dropped off, followed by the commander, Alenko, and Jenkins.

Now comes the boring part. Stay out of sight, orbit the planet, keep in contact, blah, blah, blah. Joker set the autopilot, and prepared for the event that was taking a leak. Gathering his crutches from under the console, Joker hauled himself out of his chair. Humans can now travel throughout the galaxy to hundreds of systems and even build a stealth cruiser. But can they cure Vrolik disease? No, absolutely ridiculous. After relieving himself, Joker eased back into his chair just in time to see Alenko's HUD camera depict several robots fall to gunfire.

'Geth? Beyond the Perseus Veil?'

'Where have you been Joker? We're almost done here, we just saved the colony,' replied Laura.

'My apologies Commander, I didn't think that there would be a test.'

'There's the beacon,' said the woman that Joker recognized from the video distress call. Alenko's HUD identified her as Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams. Attractive, but she's got nothing on the commander. As Joker thought these thoughts, Commander Shepard removed her helmet, showing her sweat drenched hair and brow. Sexy, even under duress.

Joker watched as the beacon steadily got bigger because Alenko was cautiously stepping forward. The picture began to distort, and it was not until Alenko jerked forward, that Joker realized that it was an energy field. The pilot could only watch as the camera suddenly jerked away and smack into Williams. It then turned to show that now the Commander was trapped and being lifted into the air. From Alenko's point of view, Shepard appeared to be having some sort of violent spasm until the beacon exploded knocking Laura unconscious. Ah crap. Before he received any orders, Joker began locking onto the Commander's signal, and began bringing the Normandy out of autopilot in order to land.

Joker could only sit and watch as they brought Shepard onboard, and into the medical bay with Dr. Chakwas. Almost everybody onboard went to see Laura, everybody except Joker. He was stuck charting the course to the Citadel. Hours later, as the pilot was busy with his console, two hands covered his eyes.

'Guess who.'

'Now let me think. Feminine hands, and there are only three women onboard. Strong, nice voice, and that oh so sexy scent of sweat mixed with strawberry perfume. It has to be Miss Laura Shepard.'

Joker could see again, but received a flick to the back of the head. 'That's Commander Laura Shepard to you. Captain Anderson wants me to see that you get us onto the Citadel alive.'

'You're in luck, I was just about to bring us in,' remarked the pilot, as Kaidan and Ashley came up behind the Commander. As the Normandy exited the relay, the crew gasped at the sight before them. The Council's flagship, the Destiny Ascension, drifted into view, and caught the Gunnery Chief's eyes.

'Look at the size of that ship, its huge!' she exclaimed.

'Yeah well, size isn't everything,' shot Joker, causing the Commander to chuckle.

'That main gun could tear the Normandy in two.'

'Doesn't mean a thing if you don't have a good pilot,' Joker retorted, feeling unappreciated. That thing couldn't catch me in years.

Once they were assigned a docking bay, Joker sat back and put his arms behind his head. Nothing to do now except refuel, relax, and wait for our next orders that will get us off this station. He waited for the Normandy to be refueled, and then took the elevator to the C-Sec headquarters. Ah, the beauty of the fast transport system, mused Joker as he accessed the terminal. Minimizes the walking. It helps fat people and cripples of all species. As he arrived at Flux, the bar, casino, and dance club, Joker hobble to a seat and watched the various patrons.

About an hour later, Joker was surprised to see Commander Shepard walk into Flux with a quarian. As shocking as this was, Joker was much more frightened by the very large krogan that was behind her. He's got the jump on them, he thought desperately. The pilot drew his pistol sidearm, 'Commander, behind you.' And then Joker stood. At the sudden speed, his left shinbone cracked, and gave way, but not before the pilot was able to let a shot go towards the krogan. Joker never saw what happened next, as his head hit the table next to him, causing him to blackout.

Smooth.

In physics and engineering, mass flux is the rate of mass flow per unit area, perfectly overlapping with the momentum density, the momentum per unit volume. The common symbols are j, J, q, Q, φ, or Φ (Greek lower or capital Phi), sometimes with subscript m to indicate mass is the flowing quantity. Its SI units are kg s⁻¹ m⁻². Mass flux can also refer to an alternate form of flux in Fick's law that includes the molecular mass, or in Darcy's law that includes the mass density.^[1]

Unfortunately, sometimes the defining equation for mass flux in this article is used interchangeably with the defining equation in mass flow rate. For example, Fluid Mechanics, Schaum's et al^[2] uses the definition of mass flux as the equation in the mass flow rate article.

Definition[edit]

Mathematically, mass flux is defined as the limit:

${\displaystyle j_m=\underset{A\to 0}{lim}\frac{I_m}{A}}$

Mass Flux Definition

where:

${\displaystyle I_m=\underset{\mathrm{\Delta }t\to 0}{lim}\frac{\mathrm{\Delta }m}{\mathrm{\Delta }t}=\frac{dm}{dt}}$

is the mass current (flow of mass m per unit time t) and A is the area through which the mass flows through.

For mass flux as a vector j_m, the surface integral it over a surfaceS, followed by an integral over the time duration t₁ to t₂, gives the total amount of mass flowing through the surface in that time (t₂ − t₁):

${\displaystyle m={\int }_{t_1}^{t_2}{\iint }_S{\mathbf{j}}_m\cdot \hat{\mathbf{n}}\mathrm{d}A\mathrm{d}t}$

The area required to calculate the flux is real or imaginary, flat or curved, either as a cross-sectional area or a surface.

For example, for substances passing through a filter or a membrane, the real surface is the (generally curved) surface area of the filter, macroscopically - ignoring the area spanned by the holes in the filter/membrane. The spaces would be cross-sectional areas. For liquids passing through a pipe, the area is the cross-section of the pipe, at the section considered.

The vector area is a combination of the magnitude of the area through which the mass passes through, A, and a unit vector normal to the area, ${\displaystyle \hat{\mathbf{n}}}$. The relation is ${\displaystyle \mathbf{A}=A\hat{\mathbf{n}}}$.

If the mass flux j_m passes through the area at an angle θ to the area normal ${\displaystyle \hat{\mathbf{n}}}$, then

${\displaystyle {\mathbf{j}}_m\cdot \hat{\mathbf{n}}=j_m\cos \theta }$

where · is the dot product of the unit vectors. This is, the component of mass flux passing through the surface (i.e. normal to it) is j_m cos θ, while the component of mass flux passing tangential to the area is j_m sin θ, but there is no mass flux actually passing through the area in the tangential direction. The only component of mass flux passing normal to the area is the cosine component.

Example[edit]

Consider a pipe of flowing water. Suppose the pipe has a constant cross section and we consider a straight section of it (not at any bends/junctions), and the water is flowing steadily at a constant rate, under standard conditions. The area A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Suppose the pipe has radius r = 2 cm = 2 × 10⁻² m. The area is then

${\displaystyle A=\pi r^2}$

To calculate the mass flux j_m (magnitude), we also need the amount of mass of water transferred through the area and the time taken. Suppose a volume V = 1.5 L = 1.5 × 10⁻³ m³ passes through in time t = 2 s. Assuming the density of water is ρ = 1000 kg m⁻³, we have:

(since initial volume passing through the area was zero, final is V, so corresponding mass is m), so the mass flux is

${\displaystyle j_m=\frac{\mathrm{\Delta }m}{A\mathrm{\Delta }t}=\frac{\rho V}{\pi r^{2}t}}$

substituting the numbers gives:

${\displaystyle j_m=\frac{1000\times (1.5\times {10}^{-3})}{\pi \times (2\times {10}^{-2}{)}^2\times 2}=\frac{3}{16\pi }\times {10}^4}$

which is approximately 596.8 kg s⁻¹ m⁻².

Equations for fluids[edit]

Alternative equation[edit]

Using the vector definition, mass flux is also equal to:^[3]

${\displaystyle {\mathbf{j}}_{\mathrm{m}}=\rho \mathbf{u}}$

where:

• ρ = mass density,
• u = velocity field of mass elements flowing (i.e. at each point in space the velocity of an element of matter is some velocity vector u).

Sometimes this equation may be used to define j_m as a vector.

Mass and molar fluxes for composite fluids[edit]

Mass fluxes[edit]

In the case fluid is not pure, i.e. is a mixture of substances (technically contains a number of component substances), the mass fluxes must be considered separately for each component of the mixture.

When describing fluid flow (i.e. flow of matter), mass flux is appropriate. When describing particle transport (movement of a large number of particles), it is useful to use an analogous quantity, called the molar flux.

Using mass, the mass flux of component i is:

${\displaystyle {\mathbf{j}}_{\mathrm{m},i}={\rho }_i{\mathbf{u}}_i}$

The barycentric mass flux of component i is

${\displaystyle {\mathbf{j}}_{\mathrm{m},i}=\rho \left({\mathbf{u}}_i-⟨\mathbf{u}⟩\right)}$

where ${\displaystyle ⟨\mathbf{u}⟩}$ is the averagemass velocity of all the components in the mixture, given by:

${\displaystyle ⟨\mathbf{u}⟩=\frac{1}{\rho }\sum _i{\rho }_i{\mathbf{u}}_i=\frac{1}{\rho }\sum _i{\mathbf{j}}_{\mathrm{m},i}}$

where :

• ρ = mass density of the entire mixture,
• ρ_i = mass density of component i,
• u_i = velocity of component i.

Mass Flux Density

The average is taken over the velocities of the components.

Molar fluxes[edit]

If we replace density ρ by the 'molar density', concentrationc, we have the molar flux analogues.

The molar flux is the number of moles per unit time per unit area, generally:

${\displaystyle {\mathbf{j}}_{\mathrm{n}}=c\mathbf{u}}$

So the molar flux of component i is (number of moles per unit time per unit area):

${\displaystyle {\mathbf{j}}_{\mathrm{n},i}=c_i{\mathbf{u}}_i}$

and the barycentric molar flux of component i is

${\displaystyle {\mathbf{j}}_{\mathrm{n},i}=c\left({\mathbf{u}}_i-⟨\mathbf{u}⟩\right)}$

where ${\displaystyle ⟨\mathbf{u}⟩}$ this time is the averagemolar velocity of all the components in the mixture, given by:

Mass Effect 1 Buy

${\displaystyle ⟨\mathbf{u}⟩=\frac{1}{n}\sum _i{c}_i{\mathbf{u}}_i=\frac{1}{c}\sum _i{\mathbf{j}}_{\mathrm{n},i}}$

Usage[edit]

Mass flux appears in some equations in hydrodynamics, in particular the continuity equation:

${\displaystyle \mathrm{\nabla }\cdot {\mathbf{j}}_{\mathrm{m}}+\frac{\mathrm{\partial }\rho }{\mathrm{\partial }t}=0}$

which is a statement of the mass conservation of fluid. In hydrodynamics, mass can only flow from one place to another.

Molar flux occurs in Fick's first law of diffusion:

${\displaystyle \mathrm{\nabla }\cdot {\mathbf{j}}_{\mathrm{n}}=-\mathrm{\nabla }\cdot D\mathrm{\nabla }n}$

where D is the diffusion coefficient.
