Descriptive research does not fit neatly into the definition of either quantitative or qualitative research methodologies‚ but instead it can utilize elements of both‚ often within the same study. The term descriptive research refers to the type of research question‚ design‚ and data analysis that will be applied to a given topic. Descriptive statistics tell what is‚ while inferential statistics try to determine cause and effect. Three main purposes of research are to describe‚ explain‚ and validate

Chapter 8 Flow in Pipes 8-76E Solution The flow rate through a piping system between a river and a storage tank is given. The power input to the pump is to be determined. Assumptions 1 The flow is steady and incompressible. 2 The entrance effects are negligible‚ and thus the flow is fully developed. 3 The flow is turbulent so that the tabulated value of the loss coefficients can be used (to be verified). 4 The elevation difference between the free surfaces of the tank and the river remains constant

Drion Shkreli Alchemy to Astrophysics Professor Efthimiades 12/11/2012 Quantum Mechanics Homework 1. Principles of Quantum Mechanics a. Particles have multiple virtual motions and each motion is accompanied by a wave. The strength of the total particle wave at each point corresponds to the probability that the particle may be found there. Applying this principle we can explain all kinds of phenomena‚ from the properties of atoms and radioactivity to light reflection. 2. Electron Double
