Flow Work (Flow Energy) A Flow Element Flow Work with Imaginary Piston Click to View Movie (68 kB) Work is needed to push the fluid into or out of the boundaries of a control volume if mass flow is involved. This work is called the flow work (flow energy). Flow work is necessary for maintaining a continuous flow through a control volume. Consider a fluid element of volume V‚ pressure P‚ and cross-sectional area A as shown left. The flow immediately

Report: National Cranberry Cooperative 1. Analyze the current process. Using the process flow map and the current process at Receiving Plant Number 1‚ mark the capacity and utilization of each of the resources. Show the flows of wet and dry berries separately. The capacity and the utilization of each process in the flow map is calculated and shown below. Utilization is solved by dividing the flow (of either the wet or the dry) and dividing it by the capacity for that particular process. Each capacity
