Crude oil‚ specific gravity of 0.887‚ flows through the piping shown in Figure. Pipe A is 50-mm Schedule 40‚ pipe B is 75 mm Schedule 40‚ and each of pipes C is 38-mm Schedule 40. An equal quantity of liquid flows through each of the pipes C. The flow through pipe A is 6.65 m3/h. Calculate (a) the mass flow rate in each pipe‚ (b) the average linear

Friction Page 1 Lab: Friction William Morris Leo Hayes High School Friction Page 2 Purpose: To investigate the coefficient of friction for a given surface and the effects that factors such as weight‚ surface area and changes to the surface have on the coefficient of friction. Hypothesis: The smaller the amount of normal force (weight)‚ the less friction created and the least surface area and the greaser the surface the less friction is created. With

Page 1 of 4 Expansion Devices I. Introduction Expansion devices are basic components of a refrigeration system which carry out two major purposes: (1) the pressure reduction from the condenser to evaporator pressure and (2) the regulation of refrigerant flow into the evaporator. These expansion devices can be generally classified into two types which are namely the fixed opening type (flow area is fixed) and the variable opening type (flow area changes correspondingly with a change in mass

Mechanisms of Multicolored Striped Toothpaste Aree Witoelar Toothpastes often use two or more colors to form stripes. While not providing hygienic benefits‚ it has interesting appearance for the customer [1]. Here we investigate and discover two different mechanisms to achieve consistency of the color ratios. Two sample tubes of toothpaste are chosen randomly from the market‚ and labeled as A and P (Figure 1). The samples are cut across the toothpaste compartment (Figure 2). (not shown). The

Report on Designs of Airbus A380 Airbus A380 is commonly known as the jumbo aircraft as its capacity is up to 850 persons which weight almost 560 tons. As the maximum length of wingspan which is internationally recognize and can accommodate in most international airport is 80m‚ so A380 need to gain maximum lift with a length limit of only 80m. In order to overcome this limitation‚ the engineers observed the wings of eagle for some time and they found out that the end of the wing is folded slightly

A forced circulation boiler was first introduced by La-Mont in the year 1925 which is used in Europe and America. This is a modern high pressure boiler (water tube type steam boilers) working on forced circulation system. Working principle of La Mont Boiler The image shows the flow circuit of La Mont Boiler. I will explain working of each and every part in La Mont boiler one by one. Steam separator drum The la Mont boiler consists of a steam separator drum which is placed wholly outside the boiler

The results obtained from the researches’ work are shown below in Figure 2.7. Figure 2.7: Variation of OMC‚ LL‚ PL‚ PI‚ and LS with RHA content Roy (2014) conducted a research on the soil stabilization using RHA and cement‚ using the soil sample from Burdwan‚ India by disturbed sampling method.
