1. Using diagrams and/or graphs‚ explain the following terms: a. Pressure Head pressure head [′presh·ər ‚hed] (fluid mechanics) Also known as head. The height of a column of fluid necessary to develop a specific pressure. The pressure of water at a given point in a pipe arising from the pressure in it. b. Total Discharge Head Total discharge head refers to the actual physical difference in height between the liquid level in the pit and the highest point of the discharge pipe or water level in

FLUID MECHANICS Fluids mechanics is a branch of mechanics that is concerned with properties of gases and liquids. Mechanics is important as all physical activities involves fluid environments‚ be it air‚ water or a combination of both. The type of fluid environment we experience impacts on performance. Flotation The ability to maintain a stationary on the surface of the water- varies from he on person to another. Our body floats on water when forces created by its weight are matched equally

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

Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that studies fluids (liquids‚ gases‚ and plasmas) and the forces on them. Fluid mechanics can be divided into 1) fluid statics‚ the study of fluids at rest; 2) fluid kinematics‚ the study of fluids in motion; 3) fluid dynamics‚ the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. Fluid Mechanics Overview Fluid is a substance that is capable of flowing. It has no definite shape of its own. It assumes the shape of its container. Liquids and gases are
