1. Using diagrams and/or graphs‚ explain the following terms: a. Pressure Head pressure head [′presh·ər ‚hed] (fluid mechanics) Also known as head. The height of a column of fluid necessary to develop a specific pressure. The pressure of water at a given point in a pipe arising from the pressure in it. b. Total Discharge Head Total discharge head refers to the actual physical difference in height between the liquid level in the pit and the highest point of the discharge pipe or water level in

FLUID MECHANICS Fluids mechanics is a branch of mechanics that is concerned with properties of gases and liquids. Mechanics is important as all physical activities involves fluid environments‚ be it air‚ water or a combination of both. The type of fluid environment we experience impacts on performance. Flotation The ability to maintain a stationary on the surface of the water- varies from he on person to another. Our body floats on water when forces created by its weight are matched equally

Biology Homework Explain how blood sugar levels are regulated in your body. Blood sugar level (also known as blood glucose level) is the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. The amount of glucose in the blood is expressed as millimoles per litre (mmol/l). Blood sugar levels are tightly regulated in the human body. Glucose‚ transported via the bloodstream‚ is the primary source of energy for the body’s cells. The levels of glucose in the blood are monitored by the cells in the pancreas. If

Fluid and Electrolytes Imbalances Fluid Compartments: * Extracellular Fluid (ECF) – This is fluid found outside of the cells and the amount of ECF decreases with age. In the newborn for example‚ approximately ½ of the body fluid is contained in the ECF. By the time the infant has reached one year old; the ECF has decreased to approximately 1/3 of the total volume. In an average 70 kg adult the ECF is approximately 15 liters of total volume. ECF can further be divided into the following:

gravitational acceleration above the sea level is given as a function of altitude. The height at which the weight of a body will decrease by 1% is to be determined. Analysis The weight of a body at the elevation z can be expressed as In our case‚ Substituting‚ 1-30 The gravitational acceleration changes with altitude. Accounting for this variation‚ the weights of a body at different locations are to be determined. Analysis The weight of an 80-kg man at various locations is obtained

“JROTC Helps Me Deal With Peer Pressure” Peer pressure comes in many different forms. There is smoking‚ drinking‚ and the pressure to be as thin as the celebrities on television and magazines. Peer pressure can make a person do things that normally they would never do. How are you supposed to deal with it when for most people it’s everywhere around them? My solution was JROTC‚ or Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps. JROTC helps you deal with these things by building your self-esteem‚ you set a

Analyse the cash flow and highlight any problems that are evident such as a shortage of cash and any other cash flow problems his business might experience. (M1) In P3‚ a cash flow forecast for John Adams was created. A cash flow forecast is a simple statement showing opening balance‚ cash in‚ cash out and closing balance. Cash flow forecast are usually compiled on a month by month basis‚ for up to twelve months ahead. The exact contents of an individual firm’s cash flow forecast will depend on the

To enable us to do this we need to understand the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Understanding this reduces the risk of harm to you or the person in you care.

EXAM 1 NOTES The actual pressure at a given position is called the absolute pressure‚ and it is measured relative to absolute vacuum (i.e.‚ absolute zero pressure). Most pressure-measuring devices‚ however‚ are calibrated to read zero in the atmosphere (Fig. 3–2)‚ and so they indicate the difference between the absolute pressure and the local atmospheric pressure. This difference is called the gage pressure. Pgage = Pabs - Patm The pressure at a point in a fluid has the same magnitude in all
