Life Without Friction By: Anthony Cacciato Life without friction would be dangerous. There would be things flying all around and no one would be safe from an airborne bicycle. You would not even be able to stand on your feet. You would not be able to eat or drink. Life with no friction would be deadly. Nothing would be able to sustain life without friction. We would all die if out of the blue friction went away. There are four kinds of friction and they all help us go throughout our daily lives;

negligible loses‚ 3 standard flanged 90 smooth elbows (KL = 0.3 each)‚ and a sharp-edged exit (KL = 1.0). We choose points 1 and 2 at the free surfaces of the river and the tank‚ respectively. We note that the fluid at both points is open to the atmosphere (and thus P1 = P2 = Patm)‚ and the fluid velocity is 6 ft/s at point 1 and zero at point 2 (V1 = 6 ft/s and V2 =0). We take the free surface of the river as the reference level (z1 = 0). Then the energy equation for a control volume between these two

Fluid Mechanics 3-Aerofoil Lab Report Introduction This report aims to investigate the effect the angle of attack of an aerofoil has on the air flow around it. This was done by recording the lift and drag forces the aerofoil experienced when positioned at different angles of attack. The experimental lift force the aerofoil experienced when positioned at different angles of attack was then compared with theoretical values. An attempt was made to explain any discrepancies

and Kinetic Friction Introduction The amount of friction force between two surfaces in contact depends on the type of the surfaces in contact and the amount of compression between the surfaces. Static friction is the force that is acting against your force before the object begins to move. If you exert a small push on the box‚ the box will not move because static friction is directly opposite to the push. If you apply a greater force than the static friction force‚ the friction increases to

Lecture No. 5 CLASSIFICATION OF FLUID FLOW AND THE CONTINUITY EQUATION 5.1 Classification of Fluid Flow Uniform flow If the velocity of the fluid is the same in magnitude and direction at every point in the fluid the flow is said to be uniform. Non-uniform flow A non-uniform flow is one where the velocities at different points at a given instant are not the same. Every fluid that flows near a solid boundary will be non-uniform because the fluid at the boundary takes the velocity of the
