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.

The Split Personality of Hydraulic Fracturing There is wide agreement among most experts and the public that the current energy sources we use in the United States are in need of a replacement. Reliance on the fossil fuels of coal and oil are problematic for at least two reasons: their negative impact on the environment (both in extraction and their use) and the reliance on supplies of these from other countries‚ which has created problems on the geopolitical front. Nuclear fission remains a controversial

Elements of Fire Protection Engineering We always look at the fire-fighters and firemen and consider them to be extremely brave and dedicated because they risk their lives to save the lives of others. But it is not as simple as it looks from the outside. Fire protection is an extremely vast and important topic because it can cause serious damage and hazard and can outburst anywhere and at any time because of no solid reason as such. And hence the engineers of the world have taken on the responsibility

and disadvantages of Agile Software Engineering? One mooted solution to project management issues is Agile Software Engineering. Agile software engineering was devised‚ in the early 1990’s‚ as a counter to the then-prevalent preference for huge‚ carefully-planned and expertly orchestrated grand projects. As Alistair Cockburn has noted‚ "the 1990’s saw some of the most bloated‚ over-organised attempts at problem-solving imaginable‚ whereas agile software engineering came in like a breath of fresh air

Is Genetic Engineering the Answer to Ending Global Hunger? Nick Simmons SCI207: Dependence of Man on the Environment Instructor: Thomas Davis 9-3-2010 As with traditional plant breeding‚ genetic engineering seeks to develop plants that feature certain desirable traits. These could include developing plants that feature "input" traits such as resistance to pests or resistance to fungus and disease or plants that can withstand frost or drought conditions. This could also

something which mesmerized me‚ then it has to be huge structures like railroads‚ airports‚ highways and all such Mega Structures. After I grew up‚ I learnt that all my areas of interest coincided with what the course of Civil Engineering offered. This made Civil Engineering as my obvious choice for under-graduation. I worked hard towards my interest and secured admission into Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology‚ Hyderabad which is one of the premier technical institutions of the country.

Pursuing engineering as my future was a natural consequence of my love for machines‚ science and technology. ‘Learning to excel’ is the principal reason that strives everyone to turn efficient through self-perfection and I’m no exception in this regard. Even before my passion towards these machines‚ I have been in love with automobiles for as long as I can remember and this naturally intrigued me to explore‚ learn and develop ideas into practical solutions. As an undergrad‚ I was exposed to a stimulating

Reverse Engineering A brilliant method of taking an object apart and disassembling all of its mechanical components and analyze every bit of detail‚ enough to recreate a duplicate without fully understanding the original. Reverse engineering is used for many reasons‚ for example; a military obtains an enemy tank that is in good enough condition to be operated‚ they can have their engineers take the machinery apart and gain the knowledge on how to duplicate the same class tank without having to

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
