Fire hydrants are water outlet terminals strategically located along streets to provide water to firefighters for dousing flames. The firefighters tap into the fire hydrants using flexible hose pipes to refill the fire engines. Also, the fire hydrants are used to drain hydraulic systems. Since fires seldom occur, fire hydrants are rarely used. Therefore, the fire hydrants are likely to go out of service or malfunction due to rusting and oxidation of the metallic parts. To ensure that the hydrants are still in good working condition, fire hydrant flow testing is required. This is a paper on the procedure ...

Introduction

The flow of a given volume of fluid through a pipe requires a given amount of energy. In order for fluid flow to occur, there must be pressure or energy difference. During fluid flow through a pipe, energy is lost. The main causes of this loss are the resistance encountered by the fluid in the process of its movement through the pipe. Viscosity is one of the most common forms of resistance to fluid flow through a pipe (Noltingk, 1985, p. 5). Fluids that have high viscosity tend to exhibit high resistance while flowing through a pipe (Considine and ...

Introduction

At times, industries require the temperatures to be kept below the ambient for some processes to be effective. To do so, they must design ways to eliminate the excess heat generated by machines and introduce an artificial room temperature lower than the ambient. They must effectively eliminate temperatures above the ambient. A refrigerator is thus required in these operations. This refers to a device that can maintain the temperature below the ambient. The primary objective of a refrigeration process is to lower the temperature through heat removal. Since its invention, refrigeration has seen used in many industrial and household ...

Wave and Wind Power Generation

Wind Physics Basics
Wind is atmospheric air which is in motion
Energy Source
The earth surface absorbs solar radiation differently. Some parts absorb more radiation than other. This creates pressure zones. As a result of pressure, air moves from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones. This causes atmospheric air motion known as wind. Wind is a renewable source of energy. It is constantly available free of charge (Bhattacharyya, 2011).

Spatial scales

Atmospheric air motion can be categorized depending in terms of spatial scale. Four spatial scales identified include planetary scale, synoptic scale, mesoscale, and microscale. There are various types of spatial scales ...

BERNOULLI’S EXPERIMENT

ABSTRACT
Two fluid properties, the Bernoulli principle and the Venturi effect, were examined and analyzed in this experiment. A venturi meter was used to measure the fluid flow rate, velocity, and pressure of water (the fluid being examined). The results showed that the fluid pressure decreases as the fluid traveled through a smaller cross sectional area. The minimum fluid pressure (in effect, maximum fluid velocity) was observed in the smallest cross sectional area at position D (diameter 16 mm). The decrease in fluid pressure was compensated by an increase in the fluid velocity. With these two measured phenomena, both ...

The worst nuclear incident on the land of the US happened on March 28, 1979, as it was the famous Three Mile Island accident, which was a nuclear meltdown in one of the two reactors of Three Mile Island in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, US. The incident was also rated a five, in the group “Accidents with wider Consequences” on the International Nuclear Event Scale, which has seven as the maximum rate. The accident itself began with the halting of the secondary systems of non-nuclear group, which resulted with the failure of primary system`s relief valve, which was operated by a pilot. ...

Introduction

The cardiovascular system consists of arteries, capillaries veins blood vessels and the heart. The heart delivers nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and caries waste products for elimination from the tissues (Hester & Lusha, 2012). The regulation of the cardiovascular system occurs through a complex interaction of both neural and non-neural mechanisms that aim at guaranteeing a constant internal environment (homeostasis) in organisms (Malliani 2000). The regulation of the cardiovascular system occurs through hemodynamics, through auto regulation, hormonal regulation and neural control (Khurana, 2008).
The most important of the regulatory mechanisms are closed loop reflexes like baro- reflexes, chemo reflexes and ...
