Hydraulics

most important mistakes that people make in communications is the no communications at all. There was the case that happened at the Duke University Hospital where an engineering team were replacing the hydraulic fluid in the elevators and did not have a proper containers to dispose the used hydraulic fluid, but used an empty detergent barrels in which the hospital receives a surgical…

secret.” The most important component of fracking fluid is water, which makes up most of the composition of fracking fluid. Water is the most important part of fracking fluid, because it is the component that cracks the rock when pressurized. When hydraulic fracturing was in the developmental stage, water was the medium of choice to transfer the pressure to the rocks. It was chosen because of water is environmentally friendly and has a low compressibility when…

ground and comes with both pros and cons. Oxford Dictionary defines Fracking as “the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks, boreholes, etc., so as to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas: Also called hydraulic fracturing.”. This method allows us to reach these resources in places that are difficult to get to. The issue with this method is that it brings more pollution to Earth and is very expensive. Our water and air gets contaminated with this…

gas prices rising and the threat of pollution in the air the people have been looking for alternative solutions to the problems facing us today. Over the last decade or so a new trend in the way we extract our natural gases has gained popularity. Hydraulic fracturing better known now as “fracking” has become the most worthwhile option for business's. “According to the Energy Information Administration, shale gas will account for nearly half of the natural gas produced in the U.S. by 2035.”…

circulation pumps used for residential purpose. Its 3 piece fully oil lubricated model design protuberantly brands Series 100 as the most rugged and highly dependable machine. The exceptional design of these pumps in tandem with their extremely competent hydraulic performance enables users to sustain quiet noise levels. Bell & Gossett offers Series 100 pumps in two variations:  B&G Series 100 Flanged Bronze-Body Booster Pump, and  B&G Series 100 Flanged Cast-Iron Booster Pump The red-colored…

Hydraulic fracturing is the process used to fracture shale rock deposits, allowing the extraction oil and natural gas from deep below the earth’s surface. The drilling and fracturing process produces large amounts of contaminated wastewater that is pressurized and forced back into the ground deep below the earth’s surface. Over the last several years there have been many debates over the dangers of “Fracking” and the economic impact. There are a lot of concerns from environmental groups and…

article discussing the issue of global warming, “Fracking is diverting money and attention from the real long-term solutions we need for a sustainable energy system, while adding to greenhouse gas pollution and environmental degradation” (“Fracking”). Hydraulic fracturing is using valuable resources and money, when there are numerous alternatives to solve this global problem. Renewable energy sources, such as wind energy, geothermal heat, hydroelectricity, and solar energy, are well developed…

Four Things to Know About Renting a Moving Truck If you plan to move your household items by renting a truck, there are a few things you should know in advance. Renting a moving truck is not something that you should do without consideration. The following are four things to keep in mind. Plan on using your truck longer than you expect to Whatever amount of time you figure it will take to move, add another day. Nothing ever goes right when you move, and some of these unforeseen problems can…

Crude oil extraction has advanced over the years and is more efficient to produce. A common way of extracting crude oil is by hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing is a method of extraction that drills down into rock or shale, and pumps in a high pressure liquid, often water. The pumping in of the liquid into the rock separates the crude oil from the rock or shale and helps push it to…

The tensile testing was done on the three composite specimens (90°, and two 45°) were completed with a servo-hydraulic load frame with a wedge. The one in the lab was an MTS 647 Hydraulic Wedge Grip and an 810 Material Test System. The specimens had strain gages with a Wheatstone bridge to collect data such as time, distance, load, axial strain, and transverse strain in volts which was converted into pounds per force (lbf), pressure (psi), and etc. for data analysis. From the strain gages,…
