Introduction

The experiment was conducted to establish the association between head loss as a result of fluid friction and the flow rate of water. Turbulent and laminar flow within the pipe were also investigated. Fluid Friction Equipment containing three bore pipes was used to take the data of head loss at dissimilar velocities. Different readings on volume, time, flow rate, pipe diameter, and velocity and head loss of both mercury and water were collected. The data collected were used to investigate the association between head loss due to friction and the flow rate of water through bore pipes. An estimate ...

Since its inception as a nation independent of European political control, American politics has flaunted a ethnic and historical diversity which few nations have begun with. It can be argued that every one of the original thirteen states which formed the United States of America were in some way culturally and historically unique from the others, either in having a different origin or a different combination of origins.
