achieve similitude; 1. Geometric similarity – The model is the same shape as the application (they are usually scaled). 2. Kinematic similarity – Fluid flow of both the model and real application must undergo similar time rates of change motions. (Fluid streamlines are similar). 3. Dynamic similarity – Ratios of all forces acting on corresponding fluid particles and boundary surfaces in the two systems are constant. BEFORE THAT!! The application is analyzed in order to satisfy the conditions; 1

The main focus of this experiment is the heating and cooling of the oil fluid. This was achieved using the heating component in the heat exchanger and water flowing from the tap. Varying temperatures and flow rates were used via adjusting the heating component and the control valve respectively to determine the effect each had

MICROENCAPSULATION Microencapsulation: Definition: It is the process by which individual particles or droplets of solid or liquid material (the core) are surrounded or coated with a continuous film of polymeric material (the shell) to produce capsules in the micrometer to millimetre range‚ known as microcapsules. Microencapsulation (Cont.): Morphology of Microcapsules: The morphology of microcapsules depends mainly on the core material and the deposition process of the shell. 1- Mononuclear

mechanical work from fluid under pressure. One of the famous ways is to use the pressure to accelerate the fluid to a high velocity in a jet. Over the years‚ engineers have found many ways to utilize the force that can be produced by a jet of fluid on a surface diverting the flow. For example‚ the pelton wheel has been used to make flour. Firemen make use of the kinetic energy stored in a jet to deliver water above the level in the nozzle to extinguish fires in tall buildings. Fluid jets are also used

Fluid Mechanics Flow Past a Circular Cylinder The behaviour of flow around and past bodies that are circular in the crosssection is very important‚ mainly because there are so many matching scenarios out there. Golf balls‚ over head cables and underwater supports are just a few examples of circular cross-sections and how studying flow in this case is important. Let us take golf balls for example‚ they have been engineered in such a way from them being perfectly round‚ to having small indents

The whole assembly is submerged in the fluid to be pumped. The main advantage of this type of pump is that it prevents pump cavitation‚ a problem associated with a

Mechanical Engineering: Hydrostatic Force Introduction Hydrostatics is a fundamental aspect of mechanics which consists of the analysis of fluid bodies which are either completely at rest or slow enough for any motion to be neglected during calculations. The concept of hydrostatics has many applications in industry‚ some notable ones being: Manmade dams and water features preventing the passage of water. In this particular example‚ large volumes of water is held back‚ which is eventually released
