battery my salt water battery has the three main components‚ the electrolyte (in case you didn’t know its like a liquid that conducts th electric current (I hope I spelt that right))‚ a cathode (the negative electrode) and the an anode (the positive electrode). As you may or may not know a chemical reaction must occur so that that chemical energy can be converted into electrical energy which is then used for whatever. In my salt water battery the electric current passes through the salt water which separates

Most water pollutants are eventually carried by rivers into the oceans. In some areas of the world the influence can be traced hundred miles from the mouth by studies using hydrology transport models. Advanced computer models such as SWMM or the DSSAM Model have been used in many locations worldwide to examine the fate of pollutants in aquatic systems. Indicator filter feeding species such as copepods have also been used to study pollutant fates in the New York Bight‚ for example. The highest toxin

Q1 Q1 A) The sudden closure of valve at the end of a pipeline cause sudden change in the water velocity which in turn creates a phenomenon called water hammer. The water in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum change) and a pressure wave propagates in the pipe. It ’s also called hydraulic shock. The effect of this event can be effectively multiplied many times by the geometry of a piping system if the pressure wave is allowed to reflect‚ or bounce‚ back and forth
