Introduction The objective of this experiment was to create a viable model of a tank draining apparatus consisting of two geometric tank sections connected to tubes of varying lengths and diameters. The derived model represents the height as a function of time as the water level drops. The model generated did not accurately depict the tank draining and exhibited a large dichotomy between the two shapes of the tank apparatus. This could be due to several factors such as incorrect assumptions made in the beginning stages and left-out correcting factors, but it all boils down to an over-simplified model. Experimental Equipment and Procedures The tank draining apparatus consists of a cylindrical upper portion (16" ID X 12" height) and a conical …show more content…
Gravity causes the water to convert its potential energy into kinetic energy. Torricelli's law, dh/dt=(-A)/a √2gy, equates the loss of potential energy to the gain of kinetic energy2. At larger diameters, friction is essentially negligible, and Torricelli's law is an accurate estimate. For example, if the tank consisted of the upper cylindrical portion only (a straight piece of smooth piping), Torricelli's law could be used. Due to the decrease in diameter from the tank draining apparatus to the connecting tubing, a portion of the potential energy is converted into friction loss. Therefore, Torricelli's law is invalid and a friction factor is needed. The derived cylindrical model: 〖dh/dt〗_cylinder=-√(2gh_1-2gh_f ) is synonymous with Torricelli's law except for the addition of friction and the removal of the areas. The derived conical model: 〖dh/dt〗_cone=-(A_2 √(2gh_1-2gh_f ))/12[A+πh(0.124h+0.159)] is also similar to Torricelli's law except it is more complex due to the changing radius as a function of the changing height.
As the tubing diameters increased, the time to drain the tank decreased. When comparing tubing with the same lengths, there is a correlation between amount of friction loss and the time it takes to drain the tank. In this case, as the diameters increased, the friction loss and time decreased. This is a logical phenomenon because there is less friction loss at larger diameters. This notion is the

I recommend larger diameter tubing for faster draining and smaller diameter tubing for slower draining. Because the length of the tubing only effects the draining slightly, I recommend varying the tubing length for refining drain time. I conclude that the model would not be a viable representation of the experiment. The tee, reducer, and bushing friction factors were disregarded in the model calculations. This was due to the confusion in the directions. I recommend, the addition of area calculations in the cylindrical section and friction loss calculations for the tee, reducer, and bushing. These factors will increase the accuracy of the model and make it a more practical representation of the

The method of isolating metals in a compound mineral is normally conducted through two processes.
The coordinates of the system is defined by , θ = angle of the chassis from vertical, α = angle of tread assemblies from vertical, Ø = rotation angle of tread sprockets from vertical, mc = mass of chassis, mT = mass of tread, ms = mass of sprocket, Lc = length from centre of sprocket to centre of chassis, LT = length from centre of sprocket to centre of tread assembly. The kinetic energies of the sprocket, chassis and tread assemblies are given respectively , T_S=1/2[m_c x ̇^2+J_S φ ̇^2] (1) T_C=1/2 [〖m_c (x ̇-L_c θ ̇ cosθ)〗^2+m_c (〖L_c θ ̇ sin〖θ)〗〗^2+J_c θ ̇^2 ] (2) T_T=1/2[m_T (〖x ̇-L_T α ̇ cos〖α)〗〗^2+m_T (〖L_T α ̇ sin〖α)〗〗^2+J_T α ̇^2] (3) The gravitational potential energy is given by ,
In this lab we were trying to figure out if Salt Creek and Barker Lake had the correct chemical balances to sustain catfish for the years coming. In order to find this out, we tested the water using a Hach Water Testing Kit. Inside were dissolved oxygen reagent powder pillows 1, 2 and 3 which we added and mixed into our sample water to prepare it for testing. Then we added droplets of Sodium Thiosulphate Solution into the prepared water too see how much dissolved oxygen parts per million were in the water. Our independent variable in this experiment was the 5 different testing sites that we went to for water samples.
Based on my observations I hypothesized that both Herbert Run and the Commons stream would have a high level of nitrate, conductivity, and turbidity. I hypothesized this because of traffic, liter, and the waste and pollution in both streams. For the Commons Stream, the Conductivity was 1086µS/cm. The turbidity was 0 FAU. Last, the Nitrate level for Commons was 0.08 ppm.
Introduction: Isopods are crustacean, which is split into smaller groups, called order. Scientifically Isopoda order is called isopods, which include pill bugs and sow bugs (Crustacean class). Most of the time isopods are mistaken for “bugs” since they look like insects.

By looking at our results, even though my partner and I didn’t obtain a high percent recovery for the unknown, we were still able to identified our unknown to be Acenapthene. We know that our unknown B8 is Acenapthene because of its melting range and its color. The unknown B8 was similar to the color of Acenapthene, and the mixed compound (Acenapthene and the recrystallized compound)’s melting range was close to Acenapthene’s literature melting range. With these two points, my partner and I believed our unknown B8 to be Acenapthene. According to our recrystallized vanillin, we know that our vanillin was pure because of its melting range.

\section{Facility Static and Dynamic Control}\label{Calibr} The facility calibration is the transfer function between the oscillating gauge pressure $P_C(t)$ in the chamber (described in ~\autoref{Sub31}) and the liquid flow rate $q(t)$ in the distributing channel, i.e. the test section. Due to practical difficulties in measuring $q(t)$ within the thin channel, and being the flow laminar, this transfer function was derived analytically and validated numerically as reported in ~\autoref{Sub32} and ~\autoref{Sub33}. \subsection{Pressure Chamber Response}\label{Sub31} Fig.\ref{fig:2a} shows three example of pressure signals $P_C(t)$, measured in the pneumatic chamber.
In the poem “Treblinka Gas Chamber”, by Phyllis Webb and in the TRC’s “The History”, both texts share a common theme of inhumane treatment towards children within certain cultural and ethnical groups. While the two authors explore distinct historical contexts, both texts are centred on racial segregation with nationalistic motives. Phyllis Webb appeals to a logos strategy through the use of allusion. In her poem, “Treblinka Gas Chamber”, Webb presents fictional and historical examples to display her knowledge and establish her credibility.
A unique feature of this tool is its automated modeling capability that aids in reducing time and effort during designing. An apparent benefit of this tool is the ability to use BIM-based design information and geometry for energy analysis. Also it supports performance based design via integrated energy modeling and analysis

Harold Urey - Experiment Harold Urey’s discovery of deuterium is perhaps his most revolutionary discovery. Not only did Urey receive a Nobel Prize for his work towards hydrogen-2, deuterium would go on to become invaluable both to chemists’ understanding of the elements, and the field of chemistry as a whole. Urey’s pursuit of deuterium began in 1931, after his interest was piqued by a scientific journal that discussed the supposed existence of the isotope. Using the Balmer series, which is the series of lines in the hydrogen atomic emission spectrum, Urey and a colleague by the name of George Murphy, calculated where hydrogen-2’s emission lines should be located. They determined that the isotope’s emission lines would be “redshifted” (shifted
