preparing a vehicle for the seasons ahead may reduce the likelihood of you being involved in an accident on a dark, rainy night (due to low tire tread) or prevent the engine from overheating on a hot, summer day (because of an inadequate amount of fluid in the radiator). Tires Check the Depth of Tire Treads For a vehicle to be as safe as possible, an adequate tire tread depth is essential. Tire treads are designed to grip the road, which is especially helpful during wet weather. While driving on
History of Jiffy Lube The first Jiffy Lube to launch was in Ogden Utah in 1971 by Edwin H. Washburn. Washburn is credited with the beginning franchises of Jiffy Lube in Utah. In 1979 James Hindman bought seven franchises and created what is now known as Jiffy Lube Int. During this time Jiffy Lube was relocated to Baltimore Maryland. It is in Maryland that the First Jiffy Lube and from that moment on was known as James Hindman as its founder. (Wikipedia History) James Hindman had grand plans
Water hydraulics is not new in the evolution of technology. The world’s first scientist, in The Greek Thales motivates further research on water when he declared water is a substance rather than a mystic gift from the gods. After that Aristotle declared water a continuum which all of hydraulics is based on the fact what happens at point A is transmitted to point B. Start from the era, many devices based on practical expressions of the hydraulic principles had been made by Ktesibios which comes from
The injection unit melts and injects the materials. There are usually about eight main parts that make up the injection unit, and they are the barrel, the nozzle, the screw and non return valve, heater bands, a motor to rotate the screw, and a hydraulic cylinder to move the screw forward and backward. Control systems are used for temperature regulation, and the timing of the screw rotation and injection strokes. The screw consits of three main sections the metering zone, the transition zone
What is Fluid Power? Fluid power is the use of fluids under pressure to generate, control, and transmit power. The two main types of fluid power are hydraulic and pneumatic. Applications range from brute force needed in heavy industry to sensitive positioning of parts in precision machining operations. Fluid power is one of the three types of power transfer systems commonly used today. The fluids for hydraulic systems are usually consisted of a water soluble oil or water glycol mixture and then converted
Task 1 • Basic Hydraulic Principles A simple hydraulic system consists of the following components • Hydraulic fluid, • Pistons or rams, • Cylinders, • Accumulator or oil reservoir, • Working mechanism, and • Safety devices. They control variety equipments which transmits force that are carried by Hydraulic Fluid in a specific medium. In modern systems hydraulics transfer forces which are accurate and rapidly even in small pipes of any shape and a long distance. • Pascal’s Law:
HENRI DE PITOT When somebody tries to investigate the people that have many contributions on fluid mechanics, he can find a lot of engineers, mathematicians, physicists and scientists that have found some theorems and made many inventions. Even though the most known contributors to fluid mechanics are Da Vinci, Euler, Newton, Archimedes, Toricelli or Bernolli, there are many other scientific people that have tried to find something new and to notice that some theorems or theories have been found
that I will be presenting is a branch of Fluid Mechanics. Fluid mechanics studies the physics of gases and liquids. Hydraulics is defined as: "a branch of science that deals with practical applications of liquid in motion." Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary, via www.dictionary.com The science started over thousands of years ago with Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) and Archimedes (287-212 B.C.). Many European scientists also contributed to hydraulics, including da Vinci, Mariotte and Boyle
Ethical Issues Concerning Hydraulic Fracturing in the Petroleum Industry. In these present days we have a lot of ethical issue in our day to day living going from conflict of interest all the way up to cutting corners in the petroleum industry. A good example of an ethical issue would be why fracking is bad, which I find to be very dangerous and could lead to various disasters such as loss of life, danger to the community and thereby leading to bad credibility. In this paper I would be talking
Hydraulic Fracturing is a process that releases trapped natural gas by expanding cracks in the surrounding rock via the pressure created by pumping a concoction of water, sand and chemical additives, like benzene, deep underground via a well. Hydraulic fracturing dates back to the 1940’s, however it did not become popular until 2003 when natural gas companies began to explore alternative energy resources. Although hydraulic fracturing is an efficient engineering process, the act, by the engineers
I. Introduction Hydraulic fracturing should be allowed because of improvements in drilling techniques, new environmental precautions, and a cheaper source of cleaner burning energy. This is a stimulation technique that is used to increase the quantity of oil and gas production from the underground rock formations. It entails the injection of fluids under high pressures to a point of fracturing the oil and gas producing formation. In most cases, the fluids consist of water, chemical and proppant
Introduction Hydraulic fracturing, having been patented in 1949 has been the caveat by which one third of the natural gas in the U.S. is obtained.1 The fracturing process requires millions of gallons of fluid to be driven into the ground at high enough pressures to break up shale and rock and in turn lets out natural gases. The process has been proven to be very successful thus being one of the major contributors to modern day natural gas collecting. Though there are many great aspects to hydraulic fracturing
The process of hydraulic fracturing has been around since the 1940’s, though not until recent years has it been an economically viable option. Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”, refers to the process of injecting large volumes of water, mixed with a proppant (usually sand) and chemicals, down a well at high pressures in order to fracture underground formations with low permeability. Due to technology advances allowing companies to drill horizontal wells in recent years, the use of fracking has
Hydraulic fracturing, also called fracking, is a technique designed to release the gas and oil from shale rock hidden underneath earth’s surface. The term fracking itself is referring to the point at which the shale rock is broken open by a high-pressure mixture
“the greatest nation in the world,” won't be as great as people say. What is going to be our demise? Fracking. This is a major problem that can happen sooner than you think. Fracking will soon turn this nation into the worst nation in the world. “The fluids used in fracking (and the wastewater that comes back up the well) is disposed of by injecting it into wells deep underground. This is generally the safest, most cost-efficient way to get rid of it. But in some parts of
Human Health and Hydraulic Fracturing Current research, in the field of public health, is looking at the adverse health effects of hydraulic fracturing on community members. This research is focused on looking for evidence-based research in processes, procedures, materials and cleanup from drilling and running a well. In recent years, several states such as Maryland and New York, have called for special advisory commissions to examine the potential adverse health implications for the community if
Although, hydraulics are known to be used as far back as the Hellenistic age, the Proper named father of hydraulics is William George Armstrong. Hydraulics systems work in a very simple and easy to understand way. Force that is applied at one point is transmitted to another point using an incompressible fluid. When Force acts on a small area it can create a much larger force by acting on a larger area by virtue of hydrostatic pressure, Allowing large amounts of energy to be carried by a small flow
Hydraulic fracturing in the United States started in 1949. Two million oil wells have used this method since 2013. Hydraulic fracturing is a well-stimulation technique in which rock is fractured by a hydraulically pressurized liquid. Environmental safety and health concerns about hydraulic fracturing emerged in the 1980s, and are still being debated at the state and federal levels. Since then, hydraulic fracturing method to extract natural gas has been used, even though the health risks have been
Introduction “Hydraulic fracturing involves the use of water pressure to create fractures in rock that allow the oil and natural gas it contains to escape and flow out of a well (Energy From Shale).” Fracking has served to extract natural gas and oil where other methods would not be as successful but many environmentalists argue that fracking is affecting the environment and our drinking supply of water. Although fracking is still a controversial topic, it provides Americans jobs, increases the economy
Hydraulic fracturing aka “fracking” is the mechanical process that uses fluids and other macro sized materials to create small fractures in the shale and bed rock under surfaces of the earth. The fractures, usually no more than an inch wide, allow the highly pressurized oil and natural gas to flow freely to the pipe to the pumped back to the surface. The first known commercial use of hydraulic fracking first came about during the 1940s but dates all the way back 1865 during the Civil War. To increase
