PERFORMANCE OF UNDERSHOT WATER WHEEL AS MINI HYDRO POWER PLANT FOR AGRICULTUR...
Undershot water wheels or undercurrent water wheels work when water flows against the blade wall located at the bottom of the waterwheel. This type is suitable for installation in shallow water in flat areas. Here the flow of water is opposite to the direction of the blade which rotates the wheel. This research is an applied research that will be utilized in the regions. The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of the undershot waterwheel as a mini hydro power plant. From the results of the study it can be concluded that the performance of the undershot waterwheel is strongly influenced by the water discharge and the water level in the channel. Compared to the performance of a water wheel without a bucket and using a dynamo, the maximum water power of a water wheel without a bucket and using a dynamo is the same, namely 240.71 N at a water flow rate of 0.5833 m3 /s. The maximum rotation of the waterwheel on the water wheel without a bucket is 18.70 revolutions/minute with the maximum rotation of the waterwheel using a dynamo 15.10 revolutions/minute. The maximum power of a water wheel on a water wheel without a bucket is 1232.97watt and on a water wheel using a dynamo the maximum power is 995.60 watts. For maximum efficiency obtained at the waterwheel without a bucket of 74.296%

- By specific speed which is defined for Pelton, Francis, and Kaplan turbines
- By disposition of the shaft as horizontal for Pelton and vertical for others

Hydroelectric power
1. Hydropower is generated in 150 countries worldwide, with China being the largest producer generating 17% of its domestic electricity from hydropower in 2010.
2. Hydropower plants harness the potential energy of dammed water driving a water turbine and generator, with the power extracted depending on the volume of water and height difference between the source and outflow.
3. There are two main types of water turbines - reaction turbines which change water pressure, and impulse turbines which change the velocity of a water jet to produce force on the turbine blades and extract energy from the flowing water.
Hydraulic power plant
Hydropower, or hydroelectric power, is a form of renewable energy generated from flowing water. Water turns turbines that spin generators to produce electricity. Large dams provide a reservoir of water and head of water to drive the turbines. While hydropower provides clean energy, dams can negatively impact the environment through flooding of land and disruption of ecosystems, and building dams requires massive initial investment. Hydropower projects also involve social impacts of relocating communities living in areas that will be flooded by new reservoirs.

The document discusses the dynamic force exerted by a fluid jet. A fluid jet is a stream of fluid issuing from a nozzle at high velocity, giving it high kinetic energy. The dynamic force applied by the fluid jet can be evaluated using the impulse-momentum principle - it is equal to the rate of change of momentum. This force depends on the mass flow rate and the change in velocity of the fluid. Fluid jets have various impacts depending on whether they are stationary or moving, flat or curved. They are used in applications like water jet cutting, turbo machines like pumps, and recreational activities.
Energy transfrmation
A nuclear power plant operates by using nuclear fission to generate heat from nuclear fuel in a reactor. This heat is used to convert water to high-temperature steam which powers turbines that generate electricity. The steam is then condensed back into water and pumped back into the reactor to restart the process. Nuclear power plants provide heat without pollution and are responsible for the majority of electricity generated from nuclear energy worldwide.

Hydraulic turbines convert hydraulic energy from flowing water into mechanical energy. They are classified as either reaction turbines or impulse turbines. Reaction turbines experience pressure changes through both fixed and moving blades, while impulse turbines only experience velocity changes from jet impacts. Common reaction turbines are Francis and Kaplan turbines, which are used in low- and medium-head applications like dams. The Pelton wheel is an example of an impulse turbine, where individual jets strike rotating buckets to generate torque. Power developed depends on factors like efficiency, density, head, flow rate.

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
