Abstract

Rate of flow was measured in two different experiments, Impact of a water jet and flow through a Venturi meter. The main objective was to calculate the change in momentum and energy loss in flow which was put under pressure. The experiment showed that results obtained can significantly defer from the theory if energy losses are not neglected.

    Hydropower is the energy that is created from water falling or flowing. 2,000 year ago, the Greeks often used water wheels for turning wheat into flour. Since then, people around the world have been using this source of energy. Hydropower plants use dams to hold back water that is then released through a turbine. The turbine’s spinning starts a generator that produces energy.…

    The impact of jet experiment is to demonstrate and verify the integral momentum equation.[1]. In lay man terms, it’s another way to understand fluid pressure by using the pressure to accelerate the fluid to a plate by a high velocity in a jet which in result will generate force due to impulse. The graph will show forces against momentum with different design plates. This experiment helps us to understand about fluid pressure also gives us a better understanding about fluid related machines.…

    Over the centuries, teachers and professors all have had a problem with academic dishonesty. The advancement in technology has made plagiarizing so much easier, and because of this, many professors have resorted to using software programs which detects any sort of plagiarism. One popular program many professors are enforcing their students to use is Turnitin.com. When a paper is submitted into Turnitin, the program compares it to previous submitted essays saved in its database and the content available on the internet. However, in recent years, there has been much controversy between the ethics of Turnitin and student’s rights.…

    Hydroelectric energy is a reliable and easy to obtain source of energy. In order to produce energy, all that is required is flowing water. Since much of the world is covered by rivers, oceans, lakes, and many other bodies of water, hydroelectric energy is a very plausible replacement for fossil fuels. Energy is obtained through the use of a dam on a river or pumped storage facilities.…

    Hydroelectric energy is the process in which transferring the kinetic energy of flowing water into electricity using a turbine. In like manner, hydroelectric energy is very efficient the energy turbines used can convert about 90 percent of its stored energy into electricity. Recently, there has been ideas of using hydroelectric energy to produce energy on a widespread basis. In, doing so hydroelectric power plants are essential which could cost the U.S millions of dollars which is pricey yet, a positive in terms of the amount of money the U.S spends for its current source of energy yet, that is only one of the benefits hydroelectric energy has. With it being very efficient and inexpensive it is also a source of energy that there is an abundance of meaning that, it would be rare for hydroelectric energy to run out.…
