    INTRODUCTION 1 INTRODUCTION A fluid power system is one that transmits and controls energy through the use of pressurised liquid or gas. In Pneumatics‚ this power is air. This of course comes from the atmosphere and is reduced in volume by compression thus increasing its pressure. Compressed air is mainly used to do work by acting on a piston or vane. While this energy can be used in many facets of industry‚ the field of Industrial Pneumatics is considered here. The correct use of pneumatic

    First the total volume of gas that is to be stored needs to be calculated. From the mass balance it is known that 30.92 kmol of methane can be expected every hour. This correlates to 742.0 kmol/day. The ideal gas law will be used‚ with a compressibility factor‚ Z‚ to account for departure for un-idealality. An operating temperature of 50 will be assumed‚ as this is the highest feasible ambient temperature that can be expected. Also assume that the pump or compressor used to transport the methane

    Pascal’s Wager is his attempt to justify the belief in God purely on appeal to possible personal gains. His argument is that it makes sense to believe in the God that is believed in by Christianity‚ therefore it makes sense for us to do so. Pascal believes that belief in God is the rational action to take‚ even if there is no evidence of God existing. In his work he finds various reasons to believe in God that are beneficial even if he/she does not exist. He also believes it is irrational to not

    Solutions (Week-01) Chapter-01 1-12 A plastic tank is filled with water. The weight of the combined system is to be determined. Assumptions The density of water is constant throughout. Properties The density of water is given to be  = 1000 kg/m3. Analysis The mass of the water in the tank and the total mass are mw =V =(1000 kg/m3)(0.2 m3) = 200 kg mtotal = mw + mtank = 200 + 3 = 203 kg Thus‚ 1-14 The variation of gravitational acceleration above the sea level is given as
