...Slipping TA: Dana Baylis Alyssa Lucero Group Members: Leslie, Sean, Gustavo, Eric Introduction In this lab, the effects of an object rolling down a ramp without slipping were studied and the role of friction on an objects velocity was witnessed. This was accomplished by rolling three objects, a hoop, a sphere, and a disk down a ramp while taking measurements with a Pasco motion sensor and special data acquisition software. Methods The length and change in height of the ramp were measured with a meter stick and used with basic trigonometry to determine ϴ, the ramps angle. Then the motion sensor was adjusted and set to wide beam mode with a pulse rate of 50 Hz. Next, a box was placed at the bottom of the ramp to stop the object. Three objects were then rolled down the ramp, a sphere (billiard ball), a hoop, and a disk, and measurement were taken for each of them. Analysis and Conclusion The obtained measurements were used to calculate acm, and were used for further analysis; these values can be seen in Table 1, below. Table 1. Data Obtained for Each Object Object | ti (s) | tf (s) | vf (m/s) | xi (m) | xf (m) | a (m/s2) | Sphere | 0.6948 | 1.4823 | 1.11 | 0.241 | 0.8335 | 0.966 | Hoop | 0.855 | 2.1665 | 1.36 | 0.117 | 0.993 | 0.674 | Disk | 0.5937 | 1.7245 | 1.38 | 0.123 | 1.0215 | 0.887 | Using the values obtained for a and Equation 1 from the lab manual, k was calculated for each object and then compared to the given k values for each to determine the percentage...

Introduction A flywheel is a heavy shaft-mounted rotating disc that absorbs and stores twisting or spinning motion and then releases it as rotational kinetic energy to provide motion to a stationary or nearly stationary object. [1] Flybrids (a variation of regular electromechanical hybrids) use a flywheel instead of a battery to store regenerative braking energy. This stored energy is used to initially propel (or assist the vehicle’s internal combustion engine) for powering and maintaining motion of the vehicle.[1] Application of a flywheel Flywheels can be used to store energy and used to produce very high electric power pulses for experiments, where drawing the power from the public electric network would produce unacceptable spikes. A small motor can accelerate the flywheel between the pulses [2].The phenomenon of precession has to be considered when using flywheels in moving vehicles. However in one...

...LAB - RADIAL FLOW REACTION TURBINE Objectives: To measure volume flow rate, input head, hydraulic input power, torque, brake power & turbine efficiency when the brake force is increase Theoretical Background: Radial flow When a fluid flows radially inwards or outwards from a centre, between two parallel planes as in Fig. 6.21, the streamlines will be radial straight lines and the streamtubes will be in forms of sectors. The area of flow will therefore increase as the radius increases, causing the velocity to decrease. Since the flow pattern is symmetrical, the total energy per unit weight H will be the same for all streamlines and for all points along each streamlines if we assume that there is no loss of energy. [pic] Figure 6.21 If v is the radial velocity and p is the pressure at any radius r, H = p/ρg + v²/2g = constant …………………………(6.31) Applying the continuity of flow equation flow and assuming that the density of the fluid remains constant, as would be the case for the fluid, Volume rate of flow, Q = area x velocity = 2πrb x v where b is the distance between the planes. Thus, v = Q/2πrb and substituting in equation………(6.31) p/ρg + Q²/ 8π²r²b² = H p = ρg [ H – ( Q²/ 8π²b² ) x ( 1/r² )] …………………..(6.32) If the pressure p at any radius r is plotted in Fig. 6.21(c), the curve will be parabolic and is sometimes referred to as Barlow’s curve. If the flow discharges to the atmosphere at the...

The impact pulverizer used is a dry system. Its grinding chamber consists of high-speed rotating hammers and a static concavo–convex stator. First of all, calculated results of fluid pressure in the grinding chamber were compared with the experimental ones, showing the both results were in good agreement. The fluid flow in the grinding chamber indicated that the fluid mainly swirled in the direction of the hammer rotation. The fluid flow pattern in the concaves of the stator was also swirling flow, while its velocity was much lower than that in the outside of the concaves. Analyses of the particle motion suggested that the particles were accelerated by the fluid drag force caused by the rotating hammers but not by the impact force from the hammers, resulting in impacts with the static stator at the velocity 1.4 times higher than the tip...

...Finally, the onset of cavitation showed an average decrease in flow rate of 68% and an average decrease in suction static head of 14.5%. It was concluded that the a single centrifugal pump curve is performing according to the manufacturer curve and that the overall pump curve for pumps in parallel and series can be achieved by combining the individual curves, lastly cavitation did effect flow rate and suction static head. It was recommended that an extra run of the experiment be conducted in future in order to test repeatability. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Pumps form an integral part of any piping system, they allow fluid to be moved along the system while overcoming possible losses along the way. A pump is a fluid machine which adds energy to a fluid, which results in an increased pressure of the fluid. 1.2 Problem statement In this experiment the centrifugal pump was to be investigated, including the pump curves of one or more centrifugal pumps connected in series and parallel. The phenomenon of caviation was also observed and examined. 1.3 Objectives The objectives for this experiment were to determine the characteristic pump curve of a centrifugal pump and compare this to the manufacturer’s pump curve; to confirm that the overall pump curve for pumps connected in series and parallel can be obtained from their individual pump curves and finally to examine the phenomenon of cavitation and the effects of flow rate and suction static head on cavitation. 1.4 Approach This experiment...

...Neural Networks for Matching in Computer Vision Giansalvo Cirrincione1 and Maurizio Cirrincione2 Department of Electrical Engineering, Lab. CREA University of Picardie-Jules Verne 33, rue Saint Leu, 80039 Amiens - France exin@u-picardie.fr Universite de Technologie de Belfort-Montbeliard (UTBM) Rue Thierry MIEG, Belfort Cedex 90010, France maurizio.cirricione@utbm.fr 1 2 Abstract. A very important problem in computer vision is the matching of features extracted from pairs of images. At this proposal, a new neural network, the Double Asynchronous Competitor (DAC) is presented. It exploits the self-organization for solving the matching as a pattern recognition problem. As a consequence, a set of attributes is required for each image feature. The network is able to find the variety of the input space. DAC exploits two intercoupled neural networks and outputs the matches together with the occlusion maps of the pair of frames taken in consideration. DAC can also solve other matching problems. 1 Introduction In computer vision, structure from motion (SFM) algorithms recover the motion and scene parameters by using a sequence of images (very often only a pair of images is needed). Several SFM techniques require the extraction of features (corners, lines and so on) from each frame. Then, it is necessary to find certain types of correspondences between images, i.e. to identify the image elements in different frames that correspond to the same element in the scene. This paper...

...THE UNIVERSE When we look up in the night sky we can see the stars and the moon. And because it is natural to be curious, we ask questions and we want answers. When our view was limited by what our eyes could see, the sky was our Universe. Then the telescopes deepened our view, photography enhanced it, and spectroscopy broadened it. The universe grew from a sky of stars to a realm of galaxies, to an expanding universe of galaxies. Many people believe that nature, the sun and moon, the star, even human beings never had a beginning. There is an endless, external cycle of birth, life and death that constantly repeats itself and it never began and will never end. In the Book of Genesis in the Bible, it was written that at first the world did not exist and that God is the only one who existed. So He created the world. The universe is the totality of everything that has ever existed. It is so large that it contains billions of stars, and all of the planets, galaxies and all of space. The study of the universe is called Cosmology. Traditional Views about the Universe 1. Geocentric Universe Greeks believed that the earth was a sphere that stayed motionless at the center of the universe or the geocentric (Earth-centered) view. Orbiting the earth were seven wanderers (planetai in Greek) including the sun, the moon and the known planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Greece was centered as the “Golden Age” of early astronomy. Claudius Ptolemy created the book Almagest...
