Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves, also called compression waves. Through solids, however, it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves. Longitudinal sound waves are waves of alternating pressure deviations from the equilibrium pressure, causing local regions of compression and rarefaction, while transverse waves are waves of…

Performance Characteristics of Belton Wheel (Impulse Purpose: To investigate typical performance characteristics of an impulse turbine. Apparatus: Ramified Belton Turbine, Ramified Hydraulics Bench and digital tachometer. Sketch a labeled schematic diagram of the apparatus. Theory and Definitions: (Ref. Munson/Young/Schools A Brief Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, 3/e, p. 479) 1. Ideal power and efficiency From 1…

Discussion The process of consolidation is often confused with the process of compaction. Compaction increases the density of an unsaturated soil by reducing the volume of air in the voids. Meanwhile, Consolidation is a time-related process of increasing the density of saturated soil by draining some of the water out of the voids. According to…

Various strategies are needed to remove different types of contamination from wastewater. One such strategy is brine treatment, which aims to eliminate dissolved salt ions from the waste stream. While there are similarities to desalination processes used for seawater or brackish water, industrial brine treatment may have a distinct mixture of dissolved ions, such as…

Introduction             Electroplating can be defined as the deposition of a metallic coating through the subjection of an object with a negative charge to a solution containing a salt containing positive metal ions. Under the influence of an electric charge, the positive ions are attracted to the negatively charged object where they are reduced hence…

Objective: Separate and purify acetanilide from a mixture by recrystallization. Compare the melting points of crude and recrystallized acetanilide. Introduction : The most common method of purifying solid organic compounds is by recrystallization. In this technique, an impure solid compound is dissolved in a solvent and then allowed to slowly crystallize out as the solution…

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to create two material samples through the process of powder metallurgy. After these samples have been manufactured completely through this process then they are evaluated under a microscope. One sample was sintered, and the other one was in its original compacted state for a comparison of how sintering…

Challenge To design and build a pop bottle rocket to fly as far as possible. Research Pop bottle rockets are used for the study of aeronautics all over north America. Water rockets are used in schools to help students understand the principles of aeronautics. The Science provides challenges of bottle rocket design and flight, including…

A uninterrupted moved armored combat vehicle reactor ( CSTR ) is a uninterrupted reactor that runs at a steady province. They are used most often with liquid stages. but can manage gas or solid reactions as good. No affair what the reactants are or the merchandise is. all CSTR’s have the same constituents. There is…

            Our planet is on a constant change. Every now and then we hear of new developments, new discoveries and a lot more. The information that we once knew may not be acceptable today, the places that we once visited as a child may be different after a very short period of time. Together with…
