CBE 6333‚ R. Levicky 1 Potential Flow Part I. Theoretical Background. Potential Flow. Potential flow is frictionless‚ irrotational flow. Even though all real fluids are viscous to some degree‚ if the effects of viscosity are sufficiently small then the accompanying frictional effects may be negligible. Viscous effects become negligible‚ for example‚ for flows at high Reynolds number that are dominated by convective transport of momentum. Thus potential flow is often useful for analyzing external

Introduction to Measurement Mass‚ Length‚ and Volume Introduction Much of what we know about the physical world has been obtained from measurements made in the laboratory. Skill is required to design experiments so that careful measurements can be made. Skill is also needed to use lab equipment correctly so that errors can be minimized. At the same time‚ it is important to understand the limitations of scientific measurements. Concepts Measurement Significant figures Accuracy

MEASURING AND MODELLING HYDRAULIC FLUID DYNAMICS AT HIGH PRESSURE - ACCURATE AND SIMPLE APPROACH. International Journal Of Fluid Power‚ 13(2)‚ 51-59. ASTRACT: Dynamic properties of hydraulic fluids have to be taken into account in ever increasing fluid power applications. The main reasons are increasing accuracy demands in control and modeling‚ as well as increasing operating pressure and temperature ranges. Moreover‚ the already wide spectrum of different hydraulic fluids is also expanding all the time

I. Lubricants selection and Application A.Viscosity Most important property of any lubricant is viscosity. A common mistake when selecting a grease is to confuse the grease consistency with the base oil viscosity. Because the majority of grease-lubricated applications are element bearings‚ one should consider viscosity selection for those applications. While most would not use an EP 220 gear oil for an oil-lubricated electric motor bearing‚ many people will use a grease containing that same oil

Solutions (Week-01) Chapter-01 1-12 A plastic tank is filled with water. The weight of the combined system is to be determined. Assumptions The density of water is constant throughout. Properties The density of water is given to be = 1000 kg/m3. Analysis The mass of the water in the tank and the total mass are mw =V =(1000 kg/m3)(0.2 m3) = 200 kg mtotal = mw + mtank = 200 + 3 = 203 kg Thus‚ 1-14 The variation of gravitational acceleration above the sea level is given as

of the drag force on a circular cylinder. The devices used in this experiment were a fan‚ closed-channel venturi-shape pipe‚ a Pitot tube‚ circular cylinder with holes of different angles‚ U-tube manometers and a barometer. INTRODUCTION When a fluid is passing through an object‚ it produces a total force on the object. This force is a combined force of lift and drag forces (Anderson 2007). External flows past objects have been studied extensively because of their many practical applications. For

“Physiological regulation of fluid compartment volumes and chemical composition is critical for normal cell function.” It is important that the human body has the ability to maintain a constant internal environment referred to as homeostasis (Waugh and Grant 2010). Claude Bernard was a 19th century French physiologist who first discovered the concept of homeostasis. But it was Walter Cannon‚ a 20th century American physiologist who devised the word “homeostasis” (Marieb and Hoehn 2007). Temperature

Volume‚ also referred to as dynamics‚ is one of the most important components of sound. Composers use volume as a way of controlling the emotional content and shape of a piece. It is interesting to note‚ however‚ that early composers did not generally mark their scores with instructions about volume until well into the 17th century‚ but depended upon the musicians to determine the appropriate levels of volume for a specific performance space. Composers started writing indications for dynamic levels

Perspectives Factors in HIV/AIDS transmission in sub-Saharan Africa Givans K. Ateka1 At the end of 2000‚ over 70% of the 36 million people living with HIV/AIDS were in sub-Saharan Africa and 16% in South-East Asia‚ while the rest of the world accounted for less than 14% (AIDS epidemic update: December 2000‚ UNAIDS/WHO‚ 2000). Close to 80% of resources targeted for HIV/AIDS-related expenditure are utilized in regions accounting for less than 5% of the pandemic. A look at some of the factors
