Fluid statics

1.0 Introduction Fluid is a substance that has no yields and permanent shape when encounter the static shear stress. One of the characteristic is, fluid is a substance that can flow. The fluid flow can be called as blustery or laminar. To study about the flow element of fluid, “dimensional analysis techniques” is applied. This method is effective because it helps to decrease the variables like density and temperature by finding the relations among particular variables. Reynolds Number (RE) (density

Cofferdam: The word “cofferdam” comes from the word coffer meaning box. In other words, we could say a cofferdam is a dam shaped like a box. A cofferdam is a watertight structure designed to make construction projects in normally submerged regions easier. Such projects include bridges, piers and the repair works in oil platforms. A dam is placed in the area of the project and water is then removed from that area until the soil isn’t submerged by water. This allows the workers to place structural

We designed an investigation to find the answer to the question ‘How does the height of a marble affect the work it does on the cup?’ The question explores how the height has an affect on the amount of work done on the cup and the amount of gravitational potential the marble has. We tested this by creating an experiment in which we dropped a marble down a ramp to hit and move a cup while testing the different heights we collected the data of how far the cup moved and used it to create a trend and

September 26, 2003 CVEN-3313 Theoretical Fluid Mechanics Module#1: 1 1. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this module is to investigate hydrostatic forces on a plane surface under partial and full submersion. 2 2. DESCRIPTION The apparatus shown in Figure 1 will be used. It consists of a quarter circle block attached to a cantilevered arm with a rectangular surface on the other end. The pivot point on the arm corresponds to the center of radius of the block. With no water

may be connected to ground (earth) for several reasons: • In main powered equipment, exposed metal part are connected to ground to prevent user contact with dangerous voltage if electrical insulation fails. • Connection to ground limits the build-up static electricity when handling flammable product or electrostatic-sensitive device. EARTHING SYSTEMS Earthing (grounding) system defines the electrical potential of the conductors relative to the earth’s conductive surface. Regulations

Disappointing Tragedy in Suicide Squad Suicide Squad (2016) is a comic book based movie that was announced late 2014 with the expectation of being a thrilling film. David Ayer, the director of Suicide Squad, has many years of experience working on action based movies. Some familiar movies that he directed are: The Fast and the Furious (2001), S.W.A.T (2003), and Fury (2014). Some of these films received double the ratings Suicide Squad obtained. In spite of Ayer’s professional history, he failed

Title: How Lava Flows Background: Viscosity is a liquid's resistance to flow. For example water would have a low viscosity while syrup has high. The higher temperature the lower viscosity and the lower temperature the higher viscosity. Cold syrup will move slower than hot syrup because the molecules are more tightly packed together while hots are very loose and free. Silica will cause the syrups viscosity to increases, so the more silica it has the more the viscosity will increase. If water is added

essentially fluid friction and transforms kinetic energy of motion into heat energy, just as friction (“the force between surfaces in contact that resists their relative tangential motion”) does between

and achieved a leak-proof seal (Figure 3.5(b)). Magnetic latching allowed the SEAM platform to be easily sealed and resealed as needed. The tubing was connected to the channel using a barbed fitting (McMaster), and a syringe pump was used to control fluid flow (Harvard Apparatus). The magnetic latching mechanism was sufficient to create a seal that could withstand the maximum

cornstarch, 50% water and 50% cornstarch, and 25% water and 75% cornstarch), then the 25% water and 75% cornstarch mixture will create the non-Newtonian fluid with the highest level of viscosity because the mixture is made of particles of cornstarch suspended in water, therefore, the more particles there are, the harder it will be to shear the fluid. Data that was measured from this experiment supports the stated hypothesis. Trial one provided insight to the experiment. For the control, the marble
