    Laboratory Report for Sluice Gate and Hydraulic Jump Introduction. In this lab exercise we were supposed to analyse the Hydraulic jump through the Sluice gate‚ and to discuss about the energy displacement through that process. Hydraulic jump is known as the change flow which changes from the supercritical flow to the sub-critical flow‚ this change occurs due to the loss turbulence in an open tunnel. In basic terms this happens when there is a sudden rise in the water levels‚ due to the

    Fluid Mechanics. Fluid mechanics studies the physics of gases and liquids. Hydraulics is defined as: "a branch of science that deals with practical applications of liquid in motion." Merriam-Webster’s Medical Dictionary‚ via www.dictionary.com The science started over thousands of years ago with Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) and Archimedes (287-212 B.C.). Many European scientists also contributed to hydraulics‚ including da Vinci‚ Mariotte and Boyle. The scientist who discovered the

    Hydraulic Jump Experiment SUMMARY The Objective of this experiment is to observe the flow patterns and behaviour of the water before after the jump Also to quantify the energy lost due to a hydraulic jump. The observed and theoretical ratios of upstream and downstream depths will be compared‚ this will show the limitations to purely theoretical analysis. The experiment showed that a hydraulic jump occurs when when liquid at high velocity discharges into a zone of lower velocity

    Discussion on the Ethical Implications of Hydraulic Fracturing by: Sebastian Potes 7/16/13 ! Abstract As concern grows over the environmental impact of hydraulic fracturing‚ implementing policy that protects people and their environment from these potential dangers becomes an essential piece of the renewable energy picture. Hydraulic fracturing‚ or fracking‚ is the technique of extracting oil and natural gas trapped under ground by injecting a mixture of water‚ sand‚ and chemicals into the

    MEASURING AND MODELLING HYDRAULIC FLUID DYNAMICS AT HIGH PRESSURE - ACCURATE AND SIMPLE APPROACH. International Journal Of Fluid Power‚ 13(2)‚ 51-59. ASTRACT: Dynamic properties of hydraulic fluids have to be taken into account in ever increasing fluid power applications. The main reasons are increasing accuracy demands in control and modeling‚ as well as increasing operating pressure and temperature ranges. Moreover‚ the already wide spectrum of different hydraulic fluids is also expanding all
