FLUID MECHANICS AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF ARCHIMEDES ON THE FIELD Fluid mechanics is one of the fields of applied mechanics. It studies the behaviour of gases and liquids both in rest and in motion. “Fluids” are involved in a great portion of our daily lives even though we do not realize it. There are indeed very few aspects that we do not come across with it. Fluids are used in different fields of engineering. Leonardo Da Vinci is a notable man who had great impact on the field and gave pace to its…

Fluid Mechanics Laboratory 2 Report Robby Joseph 14103508 1.0 Introduction This experiment was undertaken for the study of flow in pipes and the factors that affect it in both laminar and turbulent regimes. The transitional regime between laminar and turbulent flow will also be studied. The experiment was done using a pipe with a known diameter, and water was pumped in from a tank. Throughout the process, measurements of the quantity of water and time were taken as well as the hydraulic gradient…

LABORATORY REPORT Activity 4: Generation of Action Potentials Name: Instructor: Date: PREDICTIONS 1. Exceeding the threshold depolarization at the trigger zone DECREASES the likelihood of generation of action potential. 2. Action potential amplitude: DOES NOT CHANGE with distance 3. Increasing frequency of stimulation to the trigger zone: DOES NOT increase the production of action potentials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experiment 1: Effect of Stimulus Strength on Action Potential Generation…

they influence friction losses. Introduction Friction loss is the loss of energy or “head” that occurs in pipe flow due to viscous effects generated by the surface of the pipe. This energy drop is dependent on the wall shear stress (τ) between the fluid and pipe surface. The shear stress of a flow is also dependent on whether the flow is turbulent or laminar. For turbulent flow, the pressure drop is dependent on the roughness of the surface, while in laminar flow, the roughness effects of the wall…

the friction plate thickness will reduce uniformly, that is that the wear rate is constant. Since wear depends on pressure and the rubbing distance then it follows that p.r = constant (since distance moved is proportional to the radius) Hence, 3. AIM The actual purpose of the experiment was to verify, for a single plate clutch, the application of the expression for maximum torque T = μWRmean where, T = frictional torque, μ = coefficient of friction, W = axial load & Rmean = is the…
