Friction Losses Abstract—The purpose of the experiment is to study the differences of roughness‚ valves and geometries of pipe and how they influence friction losses. Introduction Friction loss is the loss of energy or “head” that occurs in pipe flow due to viscous effects generated by the surface of the pipe. This energy drop is dependent on the wall shear stress (τ) between the fluid and pipe surface. The shear stress of a flow is also dependent on whether the flow is turbulent

joints‚ which means that they have a cavity in the joints that contains synovial fluid. Joints are not just made of bone‚ because if they were‚ friction would keep them from moving smoothly. The body uses cartilage and the synovial fluid to reduce friction in joints. Osteoarthritis happens when cartilage wears away over time and exposes bone to bone and increases friction‚ which is very painful. Synovial fluid is a fluid-like material that is present in many of the joints of the body. It serves the

Lab Report: Pipe Friction MODULE LEADER: Dr. MEHDI NAZARINIA 1. Introduction The flow of fluid in a pipe under pressure is used to reach many goals. A good knowledge of the fluid flow and pipe pressure at some point along the path of the pipe may facilitate to determine the size‚ capacity and material of the pipe for a system. In engineering and industry‚ the understanding of pipe flow is required for the control‚ transport‚ measure and storage of water or other fluids.

purpose of this experiment is to investigate the flow rate/discharge and the head loss of 3 particular flow measuring apparatus which are the Venturi Meter‚ Orifice Meter and Rota Meter in accordance to Bernoulli’s Equation. The time taken for the water to discharge as the diameter of Rota Meter increased was determined and tabulated. Then‚ the discharge & head loss for each apparatus is calculated using the data obtained through the experiment and the calculations were tabulated. The results were analyzed

Friction Cynthia Clark Student No. xxxxx May 19‚ 2009 Abstract This experiment measures the coefficient of static friction (μs) and kinetic friction (μk) between objects of different materials. Friction is a force that must be overcome before an object can move across a surface. A plain block of wood and a block of wood with sandpaper on one side and glass on the other were used. All of the blocks had a soup can with a mass of 0.41

Hypothesis: For an increase in a normal force‚ there will be a corresponding increase in friction. Introduction: Force is usually connected with a push or pull exerted on an object. In this experiment‚ I am using a contact force‚ a force that exists from physical contact between two things. I am pulling the spring scale‚ which measure force in Newtons (kg x m/s2)‚ and then the block is moving. Different masses (kg)‚ or the measure of the resistance of an object to changes in its motion due

Fluid Mechanics Report Instruction Water turbine is a very common used throughout the world to generate power. Although the concept of the Impact of a Jet is essentially simple‚ and it can has a highly hydraulic efficiency‚ the factor of how can produce a powerful reaction force back is also has to be considerate truly. If we can manage well‚ we can determine the best situation and the optimum deflection angle out‚ for getting the optimum force that the impact can produce. But first of all‚ we

FRICTION Friction is necessary for walking due to the following reason‚ As per Newton’s third law of motion‚ (every action has an equal and opposite reaction) we can walk if and only if the ground we are walking on push our feet back with a force. Now‚ as per the third law the ground would definitely push our feet back but if we are walking on a perfectly smooth ground which has no friction our force would simply cancel out the force reverted by the ground and we would fall. If there was no
