Dynamics, Fluids & Energy...?Energy, Sustainability and Renewability 517855) Introduction Access to clean energy is critical to the growth of a nation both socially and economically. Energy is required in all its manifestations to run engines, boilers, computers and mechanical machinery. It may be in the form of thermal, chemical or electrical energy. Conventional energy relies heavily on the use of fossil fuels to meet this demand. However with the current rate of consumption these energy resources are depleting at a fast pace and man is looking at other alternatives of energy to propel his development.

Storm Drainage Study...10, April 2009 Storm Drainage Design Project Introduction In our study of storm drainage, the study of hydrographs and their analyses are to be takeninto account. A hydrograph is a graph that concerns about the activities of bodies of water of more specifically, rivers and channels. The analysis of hydrographs are done after a study had been made on a river. Hydrographs are records for the study of storm drainage. It is a graph of the flow in a stream over a period of time. Peaks in a hydrographs are usually the results of precipitation events while troughs represent It is graph of the flow in a stream over a period of time The peaks in the hydrograph are results of precipitation events...

Storm drainage design project...Storm Drainage Design Project Introduction Hydrology and hydraulic modeling systems are extensively used by infrastructure engineers and crisis management departments for estimation of availability of water, design of dams, diversions, and flood control through reservoirs or channels, etc. River statistics such as catchment area, river flow measurements, base flow and lag times is gathered through various sources such as satellite imagery and a network of stream gauges.
Hydrograph analysis involves the study of runoff records at a stream gauge, river discharge after a rain and drainage rate of the river. Hydrograph analysis is also used to explain various river behaviors such as how a...

Task 2. Using the flow visualisation apparatus investigate the effect on the fluid flow of various weirs or obstructions placed in the channel. Comment on the characteristics (weir shape, type and strength of hydraulic jump, critical and sub-critical flow) of flow over weirs being illustrated in each case relating your observations to theoretical expectations
It was observed that an increase in channel slope increases the flow velocity in both the V-notch and rectangular...

Density of Fluids...Separation of aluminum glass and plastic using fluids There are various methods used in the separation of mixtures in recyclingplants or companies. Among the commonly used methods is the use of float sinks which employs the principle of relative density. This principle was developed and patented in United States (Jody, Daniels & Pomykala , 2003).. The following is a discussion of the density of fluids used and a brief description of those fluids
According to the initial assignee of this patent, the separating solution should fall with a range of density. This range was set at 0.8 and 2.9 g/cm. After this the mixture or solids being separated then separate through floating and sinking...

During this experiment, some errors could have been incurred as a result of misalignment of the tube axis from the vector of velocity, exposure of the static taps, the influence of the hole tip spacing and the effect of the wall of the pitot static tube.
