Task 1 Q1) Explain the various principles involved with hydraulic fluids (P1) There are 4 types PASCAL’S LAW DIFFRENTIAL AREAS BRAMAH’S PRESS BERNOULL’S PRINCIPLE Pascal’s Law Pascal’s law defines the fundamental principle of power transmission by hydraulic system. The Pascal’s Law is the main principle behind all hydraulic systems. It is stated pressure is an enclosed container is transmitted equally and undiminished to all parts of the container and acts at right angles to enclosed walls

Ella January 2nd ‚ 2014 Hydraulic Fracking in the United States Petroleum‚ natural gas‚ oil…do we really need them? These products power so many things today that humankind “depends” on. Machines in factories‚ automobiles‚ and an abundance of other electronics are fueled by the result of hydraulic fracking. Hydraulic fracking‚ or hydraulic fracturing‚ is used among companies that drill underground for oil and natural gas. The drillers inject millions of gallons of water‚ sand‚ salts and chemicals—some

Hydraulic Fracturing Hydraulic fracturing is best defined as a stimulation process that is used in order to fully utilize the use of underground resources including oil‚ natural gas‚ geothermal energy and water. This method is used to enhance the flow of underground fractures to allow oil or natural gas to move more freely from rock pores to wells that bring up the resources to the surface. The whole process starts with having to build the proper and needed infrastructure which also includes

which would relate to the topic of Hydraulic Fracturing. What is Hydraulic Fracturing you may say? According to Propublica.org‚ Hydraulic Fracturing is the process used in 9 out of 10 natural gas wells in the United States‚ Where millions of water‚ sand and chemicals are pumped underground to break apart the rock and release the gas. The main purpose for Hydraulic Fracturing is due to its inexpensive extraction. Over the past decade‚ the combination of Hydraulic Fracturing and horizontal drilling

suitable form of energy production? Over the past 85 years‚ the American Petroleum Institute‚ API‚ has been developing and refining engineering standards and practices for the industry. The past decade has brought about a new practice which involves hydraulic fracturing in order to produce oil and natural gas in places where conventional technologies are ineffective. This is a rather in depth process. Firstly‚ a production drill is drilled through the rock layers to intersect the coal seem that contains

Hydraulic Fracking Research Paper and Why the process of Fracking is bad for our environment Kimberly Ricker Park University Abstract This paper explores the hydraulic fracturing process‚ exactly what it is‚ what the fracturing process does to the earth and the surrounding environment in addition‚ to the consequences. Hydraulic fracturing is fracturing of rock by pressurization. This process by which oil and natural gas can be forced from the earth. The

The Split Personality of Hydraulic Fracturing There is wide agreement among most experts and the public that the current energy sources we use in the United States are in need of a replacement. Reliance on the fossil fuels of coal and oil are problematic for at least two reasons: their negative impact on the environment (both in extraction and their use) and the reliance on supplies of these from other countries‚ which has created problems on the geopolitical front. Nuclear fission remains a controversial
