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

Pull-out and installation of the following: SUBMERSIBLE PUMP [pic] A submersible pump (or electric submersible pump (ESP)) is a device which has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. 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

The Pelton wheel is a water impulse turbine. It was invented by Lester Allan Pelton in the 1870s. The Pelton wheel extracts energy from the impulse of moving water‚ as opposed to its weight like traditional overshot water wheel. Although many variations of impulse turbines existed prior to Pelton ’s design‚ they were less efficient than Pelton ’s design; the water leaving these wheels typically still had high speed‚ and carried away much of the energy. Pelton ’s paddle geometry was designed so that

Lab Report: DRILLING FLUID (MUD) DENSITY Objective: The aim of this experiment is to determine the mud density‚ specific gravity and hydrostatic pressure gradient for water-based-mud‚ WBM (Drilling fluid) using the OFITE mud balance. Theory: Drilling fluids are used during the drilling of boreholes‚ either for oil wells or water boles holes. One of the major functions of a drilling fluid includes providing hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering the wellbore. To ensure

degree‚ but many firms may require a college degree in mechanics‚ industrial technology‚ or a related field to fluid power. To be a pneumatic technician‚ one must go through around two years of training. Training for the job is hands-on because one will not know how to properly work a pneumatic system without experience working the pneumatic system. When training is completed‚ the Fluid Power Society‚ or FPS‚ gives the graduate credit and a completion certificate. The average annual salary for a

APPARATUS: The Jet Impact Apparatus Volumetric Hydraulic Bench/Water 3 different shapes of vanes; Flat Plate‚ Conical Cup‚ and Hemispherical Cup Stop Watch 1. INTRODUCTION One way of producing mechanical work from fluid under pressure is to use the pressure to accelerate the fluid to a high velocity in a jet. The jet is directed on to the vanes of a turbine wheel‚ which is rotated by the force generated on the vanes due to the momentum change or impulse which takes place as the jet strikes the
