This experiment measured the density and specific gravity of naphtha using a hydrometer. The hydrometer reading for naphtha was 0.695 at an actual temperature of 21°C. The specific gravity was then corrected to the standard temperature of 15.6°C, yielding a value of 0.697592. Calculations were shown to determine the density of naphtha at 15.6°C as 0.697 g/cm3. The hydrometer method was discussed as the simplest way to determine liquid density and specific gravity based on Archimedes' principle.
Bernoulli's equation states that the total mechanical energy of an incompressible and inviscid fluid is constant. It has applications in sizing pumps, flow sensors, ejectors, carburetors, siphons, and pitot tubes. In pumps, the volute converts kinetic energy to pressure energy. Ejectors use pressure energy to create velocity energy to entrain suction fluid and then convert it back to pressure. Pitot tubes use pressure differences to measure flow velocity. Carburetors use Bernoulli's principle to draw in fuel, where faster air has lower pressure. Siphons use the principle to move liquid over an obstruction without pumping.

Dehydration is a process that removes water from foods through evaporation or sublimation under controlled conditions. This preserves foods by reducing water activity and microbial growth while also lowering storage and transportation costs. There are various methods of dehydration like sun drying, hot air drying, and freeze drying. Proper design of dehydration systems requires understanding moisture content calculations, sorption isotherms, heat and mass transfer principles, and predicting drying times and rates.
This document discusses the calculation of refrigeration load, which includes transmission load through walls/roof/floor, product load from cooling/freezing products, internal load from equipment like lights/motors, infiltration load from open doors, and equipment load from devices like fan motors and defrosting. It provides examples of calculating each type of load, such as transmission load using dimensions/insulation values, product load using weight/temperature of arriving goods, internal load from people working, and total load by summing individual loads.

Ultrafine grinders,Hammer Mills,Agitated mills,Fluid energy milsSunny Chauhan
Ultrafine grinders produce particles averaging 1 to 20 μm in size and can use classifying hammer mills, fluid energy mills, or agitated mills. Classifying hammer mills internally separate oversized particles for further grinding using rotor vanes. Fluid energy mills suspend particles in a high velocity gas stream for inter-particle attrition and internal classification. Agitated mills contain a liquid and solid grinding medium that is agitated to produce particles down to 1 μm in size.
A drum dryer consists of a horizontally mounted hollow steel drum that partially dips into a liquid feed pan. As the drum rotates, the liquid forms a thin film on the drum's external surface and dries within one rotation. A doctor's knife then scrapes off the dried material, which falls into a storage bin. Drum drying is suitable for heat-sensitive materials since the short contact time of 6-15 seconds limits exposure to heat. It efficiently transfers heat and moisture due to the large drying surface area of the thin liquid film on the drum. Common applications include drying solutions, slurries, and suspensions in industries such as food, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

This experiment measured the density and viscosity of fluids using different methods. Density of water was measured using a beaker, Eureka can, and density bottle, with the bottle found to be most accurate. Specific weights of glycerin and castor oil were also measured using a hydrometer. Viscosity was determined using a falling sphere viscometer with spheres of different sizes dropped in glycerin and castor oil. The viscosity of glycerin had high error likely due to low fluid level, while castor oil results were close to accepted values.
Fluid is defined as any substance that can flow and take the shape of its container. All liquids and gases are considered fluids. Key properties of fluids include density, viscosity, surface tension, and compressibility. Density is the mass per unit volume and can be used to characterize fluids as heavier or lighter than water. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow - Newtonian fluids have a viscosity that does not change with stress, while non-Newtonian fluids exhibit variable or complex viscosities. Surface tension arises from unbalanced cohesive forces at the fluid surface that create a membrane-like effect. Compressibility refers to changes in a fluid's volume with pressure.
Agitation and Mixing are two important unit operations used in industries such as Impellers agitators are widely used to circulate the liquid through the vessel in which the dispersion of liquids and gases into other liquids like mixing of stiff paste, elastomers and dry solids powders takes place.

sedimentation test for soil..Soil MechanicsAbdul Majid
This document provides information on hydrometer analysis for determining soil particle size distribution. It explains that hydrometer analysis is used to measure particles smaller than 0.075mm that pass through a #200 sieve. The process involves dispersing a soil sample in water and taking hydrometer readings at various time intervals as smaller particles settle out of suspension. Calculations based on the hydrometer readings, settling times, and Stokes' Law are used to determine the diameter and distribution of silt and clay sized particles in the sample.

This document provides procedures for determining the density of soil cement base courses in place using a sand cone test. Key steps include: 1) calibrating the sand cone apparatus to determine the unit weight of sand; 2) excavating a hole and collecting soil samples on site; 3) filling the hole with pre-weighed sand to determine the volume; and 4) calculating dry density from the measured weight and volume. The dry density and moisture content are reported as test results. Care must be taken when excavating and measuring to obtain accurate volume and avoid disturbing surrounding material.
This document discusses different methods for measuring density in solids, liquids, and gases. It begins with introducing density and its uses in determining concentration, composition, and calorific value. Methods covered for solids include physical measurement, while liquids can be measured via chain balance densitometer, angular position densitometer, or hydrometer. Gases are measured using electromagnetic or thermal conductive gauge densitometers. In conclusion, the report outlines how these density measurement techniques can be useful for everyday and industrial applications.
Thermal conductivity is the intrinsic property of a material relating to its ability to conduct heat through conduction without overall motion. Conduction occurs due to a temperature gradient creating higher molecular energy and movement from hot to cold areas. Thermal conductivity is defined quantitatively as the amount of heat transmitted through a material of a given thickness with a certain area, due to a temperature difference. It is important for manufacturing and processing fibers where heating and cooling rates impact orientation and properties, as well as applications where fiber thermal comfort and advanced composites rely on heat dissipation capacity. A material's thermal conductivity depends on numerous factors like temperature, pressure, density, chain orientation, crystallinity, and can vary significantly with changes in these conditions.
The aim of the experiment is to find the flexural rigidity (EI) of a beam and compare it to the theoretical value. A beam with overhangs is loaded at the free ends and the central deflection is measured for different loads. The flexural rigidity is calculated using the measured deflection and load values and beam properties. This calculated EI is then compared to the theoretical EI calculated using the beam's cross-section dimensions and modulus of elasticity. Observing the beam's deflection under various loads allows determining its flexural rigidity and verifying beam theory calculations.
thermodynamics dew point lab report Generally, hygrometers, or cooled mirrors, have been the conventional air measurement tools used for precise dew point measurement. The device is considered to be a humidity transfer standard. The process entails cooling a mirror until water vapor begins to condense on the surface. The temperature of the mirror is measured. This projects the dew point of the air. This process is generally used in laboratory practices.
A dew-point hygrometer was invented in 1751. For this instrument, cold water was added to water in a vessel until dew formed on the vessel, and the temperature of the vessel, the dew point, provided a direct index of humidity.
In this experiment acetone is used even though the sample is not necessary to be acetone nor the amount of volume matters that becomes vapor so that the temperature (dew point) is measured until the metal mirror starts to condense.
.
Relative Humidity Relative humidity (RH) is the ratio between saturated humidity over absolute humidity at a given temperature. Relative humidity depends on temperature and the pressure of the system of interest. It requires less water vapor to attain high relative humidity at low temperatures; more water vapor is required to attain high relative humidity in warm or hot air. Relative humidity is normally expressed as a percentage ; a higher percentage means that the air water mixture is more humid ; a lower percentage means that the air-water mixture is less humid.
Relative Humidity (%RH) =𝑭𝑺𝐅𝐀∗%𝟏𝟎𝟎
Absolute humidity is the total mass of water vapor present in a given volume of air. It does not take temperature into consideration. Absolute humidity in the atmosphere ranges from near zero to roughly 30 grams per cubic meter when the air is saturated at 30 °C (86 °F).
Finding Dew point by hygrometer

Absolute humidity is the mass of the water vapor divided by the volume of the air and water vapor The absolute humidity changes as air temperature or pressure changes.
The saturation humidity (Hs or FA) is the maximum quantity of water vapor that air can contain at a given temperature, without phase separation. The relative humidity (φ or RH) is the ratio (as percentage) of the partial pressure of water vapor in air, to the vapor pressure of liquid water at the same temperature.
phase change occurs at dew point temperature when the temperature of a gas is the temperature at which the water vapor or low-boiling hydrocarbon derivatives contained in the gas is transformed into the liquid state.
The boiling point of a liquid varies according to the applied pressure; the normal boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure is equal to the standard sea-level atmospheric pressure (760 mm [29.92 inches] of mercury). At sea level, water boils at 100° C (212° F).

liquid fuel properties and methods to properties Mahesh Naik
The document summarizes key properties of liquid fuels that can be estimated including density, viscosity, flash point, cloud point, boiling point, and calorific value. Density can be measured using a hydrometer, which uses Archimedes' principle to determine the specific gravity of a liquid compared to water. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to deformation and can be found using an U-tube or Ostwald viscometer. Other properties like flash point and boiling point are important safety indicators, while calorific value represents the total heat released from burning a fuel. Standard tests and equipment exist to accurately measure these various liquid fuel properties.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.

EXPERIMENT NUMBER TWO
Hydrometer
Instructor: Mr. Abdulmajid & miss Cheeman
Author Name: Aree Salah Tahir
Experiment Contacted on: 22/oct/2013
Report Submitted on: 29/oct /2013
Group:A
2. The aim of this experiment:
The objective of this lab is to measure and
study density and specific gravity of different
liquids by using hydrometer. This gives
information how light or heavy a crude oil is.
3. Theory:
Hydrometer is considered the simplest and the fastest
method
in determination of specific gravity of a liquid
The operation of the hydrometer is based on the
Archimedes principle that a solid suspended in a fluid
will be buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the
fluid displaced. Thus, the lighter the liquid (that is, the
less its specific gravity), the deeper the body sinks
because a greater amount of liquid is required to equal
the body's weight.
A hydrometer is usually made of glass and consists of a
cylindrical stem and a bulb weighted with mercury or
lead shot to make it float upright.
The liquid to be tested is emptied into a tall container,
often a graduated cylinder.
The hydrometer is gently lowered into the liquid until it
floats freely.
The point at which the surface of the liquid touches the
stem of the hydrometer is noted
Hydrometers usually contain a scale inside the stem, so
that the specific gravity can be read directly.
4. It is important to know that most hydrometers are
calibrated on
15 0
C. The actual density can be calculated by
Thermal expansion coefficient of acetone = 0.00143 / 0
C
Density of water at 15 0
C is 0.999099 g/cm3
7. The procedure:
1:Fill the cylinder with acetone.
2:Read the temperature of the liquid by the
thermometer Tactual .
3:Down the hydrometer into the sample slowly
and carefully.
4:Keep the hydrometer floating in center of the
cylinder andfrom the wall.
5:) After stabilization of the hydrometer, note
the point where the surface of the liquid
touches the stem.
9. Discussion:
1:Compare your result (density of acetone)
with any references?
Ans: In the case of using another liquid ,the using of the
kind of the hydrometer will change ,if the liquid was
heavier than water we will use another different leveled
hydrometer from the lighter.
2:Compare your result (density of acetone)
with the previous obtained results (Density
by bottle method).
Ans: finding density by bottle is less accurate than
finding density by hydrometer , it doesn’t mean that
hydrometer has a perfect result . it needs a long time
to make the hydrometer stand and maybe the
distance between the hydrometer and the cylinder
will not be that what we want.
