Fracking Introduction Fracking (hydraulic fracturing)‚ a simple but revolutionary process‚ has changed the way of collecting natural resources after the propitious success in 1947. By injecting water‚ sand‚ and toxic chemical such as mercury and lead with high pressure into a wellbore‚ fractures smaller than 1mm will be created and a vast amount of formerly inaccessible hydrocarbon are now available for use and thus brought “U.S. to become one of the world ’s top three oil producers”(Garder‚ US

The work that a river does is erosion‚ transportation and deposition. The amount of work a river can do is dependent on the energy it has and this energy is determined by many factors. The study of water flow in a river channel is known as hydraulics. Hydraulic geometry is the study of the relationships that exist within river channels that ultimately determine how much work the river will be able to carry out.

difference between the venturi inlet and neck‚ and from this the flow-rate can be determined. The apparatus used on this experiment also has a number of straight tube manometers at equally spaced intervals. These will be used to determine the hydraulic grade line of the fluid as it passes through the manometer. 2. Apparatus and theory of the venturi A diagram of the Venturi apparatus used for this experiment is show below. The ideal theoretical (volumetric) flow-rate Q from a venturi

It consists of a water loop. The volumetric hydraulics bench serves as the water supply reservoir. Water is pumped up to a header tank through a ball valve A so that a constant head is provided for the laminar flow experiment. The constant head is maintained by means of an overflow tube in the header

Law Blaise Pascal’s findings and contributions to the behavior of fluid in an enclosed space have been an invaluable and important concept in fluid mechanics and its applications especially in the automotive industry‚ mechanical engineering‚ and hydraulics. Pascal’s law or the principle of transmission of fluid-pressure that was proposed by Blaise Pascal. According to Bloomfield‚ the law is a principle in fluid mechanics that states that for a particular position within a fluid at rest‚ the pressure

technology‚ in this case hydraulic fracturing‚ is constructed through separate discourses. According to Bijker‚ “In the social construction of technology approach (SCOT)‚ relevant social groups are the starting point. Technical artifacts are described through the eyes of the members of these groups. The interactions within and among relevant social groups can give different meanings to the same.” (Bijker‚ 2001‚ pp. 26). In order to understand how controversial hydraulic fracturing is‚ the importance

1. INTRODUCTION Four-wheel steering‚ 4WS‚ also called rear-wheel steering or all-wheel steering‚ provides a means to actively steer the rear wheels during turning maneuvers. It should not be confused with four-wheel drive in which all four wheels of a vehicle are powered. It improves handling and help the vehicle make tighter turns. Production-built cars tend to understeer or‚ in few instances‚ oversteer. If a car could automatically compensate for
