1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Occupational Safety and Health Administration& Process Safety Management The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is an agency to assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training‚ outreach‚ education and assistance.The Occupational Safety and Health Act allows OSHA to issue workplace health and safety regulations. These regulations include limits on chemical exposure‚ employee

Centrifugal Tutorial Centrifugal Pump A centrifugal pump is one of the simplest pieces of equipment. Its purpose is to convert energy of an electric motor or engine into velocity or kinetic energy and then into pressure of a fluid that is being pumped. The energy changes occur into two main parts of the pump‚ the impeller and the volute. The impeller is the rotating part that converts driver energy into the kinetic energy. The volute is the stationary part that converts the kinetic energy into

Introduction The flow measuring apparatus is used to familiarize the student with typical methods of flow measurement of an incompressible fluid and‚ at the same time demonstrate applications of the Bernoulli’s equation. The flow is determined using a Venturi Meter‚ Orifice Meter and a Rota Meter. Head losses associated with each meter are measured directly from the manometers. The head

Further more‚ the impulse turbine is still used in the first and sometimes in the second stages of steam turbine. Firemen make use of the kinetic energy stored in a jet to deliver water above the level in the nozzle to extinguish fires in high-rise buildings. Fluid jets are also used in industry for cutting metals and debarring. Many other applications of fluid jets can be cited which
