1.0 ABSTRACT The objectives of handling this experiment are to study the characteristics of laminar‚ turbulent and transition flows by calculating the Reynold’s number of each flow and by observing the behavior of the flow itself. Besides that‚ this experiment is in conduct in order to determine the range for laminar and turbulent flow as well as to prove that Reynold’s number is dimensionless by calculating by using the formula. The experiment was started with laminar flow. In order to obtain the

ABSTRACT Firstly‚ the objectives of the experiment are to observe the characteristics of the flow and to compute the Reynold’s number. Using the Solteq Osbourne Reynold’s Demonstration (model FM 11) in this experiment‚ with different of water volume flowrate‚ the characteristics of the flow could be determined. The rock inside the stilling tank are to calm the inflow water so that there will not be any turbulence interfere with the experiment. The water inlet and outlet valve and dye injector utilized

A living genius some would say. Einstein was an exceptional learner. He took bold steps out of the normal science teachings searching the world for more answers. What made Einstein so fascinated by science was it his family‚ teachings or friends? One will just have to keep guessing to find out the true philosophy of Einstein’s life and true thinking’s. For now he’s just a part of life changing history. Albert Einstein was born on March 14‚ 1879‚ in Ulm‚ Germany. From a young age‚ Albert was already

Review Kevin‚ this is largely unfinished with some of the journals which I have written about not being relevant. My main basis of literature review will be on Terzaghi‚ vesic‚ a thesis‚ and lau and Bolton. Terzaghi‚ K. (1943). Theoretical soil mechanics. New York: Wiley In this book‚ Terzaghi introduces the idea of bearing capacities‚ the critical load over a given area which a soil takes to fail. The concept of bearing capacities became fundamental in determining the ultimate load which can be

State the three quantities that you are calculating and what you are hoping to show (what does the law say?). Give a brief explanation of the results. ( /15) Background : The topics included in the background should contain‚ but are not limited to: what is the definition of momentum and how is it calculated what are the differences and similarities between momentum and energy

“All I know is that I know nothing” argued the deep ancient philosopher Socrates. His argument is based on the fact that one cannot know anything with absolute certainty; they could only know something with a fractional amount of confidence. Socrates had written this quote nearly two thousand year ago. With our vast advances in modern technology‚ science‚ mathematics‚ and equipment to record data‚ over the last two millenniums‚ one would assume that we would long grow this view of not knowing anything
