Hydraulic Fracturing: An Inconvenient Truth Carolyn Yanoti and Florian Muller I6068325‚ I6078618 December 5‚ 2013 Workshop Paper Assignment Final Version Professor Julia Quartz As America looks to find the best source of energy at hand domestically‚ the use of hydraulic fracturing proves to be the best response. Hydraulic fracturing is more commonly known as fracking‚ is the process where natural gas is extracted from shale rock areas deep within the earth. In the

Rough Draft Since the start of the 1950s‚ hydraulic fracturing has directly affected employment opportunities. In recent years‚ fracturing has created nearly 72‚000 new jobs (“Hydrofracking: Is Hydraulic Fracturing‚ or Hydrofracking‚ a Safe Way to Extract Natural Gas”). However‚ it has been making living conditions worse because of the detrimental effects it has on local water supplies. Hydraulic fracturing has been a widely debated issue in terms of sustainability for our environment‚ inspiring

HYDRAULIC TURBINES Meaning of the term ‘Hydraulic’ • The working fluid is a liquid or a gas?? ANSWER – WORKING FLUID IS A LIQUID. TURBINE – WORKING PRINCIPLE • In turbines the pressure energy is converted into mechanical energy(which is further converted into electrical energy). WORKING PRINCIPLE OF PUMPS it is just the reverse of the above‚ that is‚ the mechanical energy is converted into pressure energy. OUR FOCUS OF STUDY • Working of various types of hydraulic turbines.

Abraham Wilson HYDRAULIC FRACTURING Description and Analysis Hydraulic fracturing is a process within the mining and drilling industries used to increase the output of an underground fluid. Fracturing is used to access or augment productivity in petroleum‚ water and natural gas. The actual process is accomplished deep underground when a pressurized fluid is ejected from underground piping into the surrounding rock formations. The pressure of the fluid creates a crack in the rock which continues

for natural gas called hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing has become the most used technique in the United States’ to produce oil and natural gas. Hydraulic fracturing is also knows as fracking is a technique to produce natural gas and oil. Wells are built which involves the injection of water‚ sand and chemicals at high pressure into bedrock to produce natural gas and oil. The process creates small cracks or fractures in rock formations. The initiative of hydraulic fracturing will create
