Head losses
Major Losses
Minor Losses
Definition • Dimensional Analysis • Types • Darcy Weisbech Equation • Major Losses • Minor Losses • Causes Head Losses
3. • Head loss is loss of energy per unit weight. • Head = Energy of Fluid / Weight • Head losses can be – Kinetic Head – Potential Head – Pressure Head 6/10/2015 4Danial Gondal Head Loss
4. • Kinetic Head – K.H. = kinetic energy / Weight = v² /2g • Potential Head – P.H = Potential Energy / Weight = mgz /mg = z • Pressure Head – P.H = P/ ρ g 6/10/2015 5
5. • (P/ ρ g) + (v² /2g ) + (z) = constant • (FL-2F-1L3LT-2L-1T2) + (L2T-2L1T2)+(L) = constant • (L) + (L) + (L) = constant • As L represent height so it is dimensionally L. 6/10/2015 6 Dimensional Analysis
6. • However the equation (P/ ρ g) + (v² /2g ) + (z) = constant Is valid for Bernoulli's Inviscid flow case. As we are studying viscous flow so (P1/ ρ g) + (v1² /2g ) + (z1) = EGL1(Energy Grade Line At point 1) (P2/ ρ g) + (v2² /2g ) + (z2) = EGL2(Energy Grade Line At point 2) 6/10/2015 7 Head Loss
7. • For Inviscid Flow EGL1 - EGL2= 0 • For Viscous Flow EGL1 - EGL2= Hf 6/10/2015 8 Head Loss
8. MAJOR LOSSES IN PIPES
9. •Friction loss is the loss of energy or “head” that occurs in pipe flow due to viscous effects generated by the surface of the pipe. • Friction Loss is considered as a "major loss" •In mechanical systems such as internal combustion engines, it refers to the power lost overcoming the friction between two moving surfaces. •This energy drop is dependent on the wall shear stress (τ) between the fluid and pipe surface. 6/10/2015 10 Friction Loss
10. •The shear stress of a flow is also dependent on whether the flow is turbulent or laminar. •For turbulent flow, the pressure drop is dependent on the roughness of the surface. •In laminar flow, the roughness effects of the wall are negligible because, in turbulent flow, a thin viscous layer is formed near the pipe surface that causes a loss in energy, while in laminar flow, this viscous layer is non-existent. 6/10/2015 11 Friction Loss
11. Frictional head losses are losses due to shear stress on the pipe walls. The general equation for head loss due to friction is the Darcy-Weisbach equation, which is where f = Darcy-Weisbach friction factor, L = length of pipe, D = pipe diameter, and V = cross sectional average flow velocity.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Writing correspondence
1. • Four major formats used for producing workplace
correspondence: letters, memos, e-mails, and
microblogs. Throughout this chapter, the word
correspondence refers to all these forms.
2. Understanding the Process of
Writing Correspondence
• The process of writing correspondence is essentially like that
of writing any other kind of workplace document.
• The more formal the correspondence, the more time you are
likely to spend on each of these steps.
3. Selecting a Type of Correspondence
• Letters. Because letters still use centuries-old conventions such as the
salutation and complimentary close, they are the most formal of the
four types of correspondence and are therefore most appropriate for
communicating with people outside your organization or, in some
formal situations, with people within your organization.
4. • Memos. This type of correspondence is moderately formal and
therefore appropriate for people in your own organization.
• E-mail. This type is best for quick, relatively informal communication
with one or many recipients. Recipients can store and forward an e-
mail easily, as well as capture the text and reuse it in other
documents. In addition, the writer can attach other files to an e-mail.
5. • Microblogs. Microblog posts such as Twitter tweets or Facebook
status updates can be useful for quick questions addressed to a
group. This is the most informal type of correspondence.
6. The process of Writing
Correspondence
• Analyze your audience
• Analyze your purpose
• Gather Information about your subject
• Choose a type of correspondence
• Draft the correspondence
• Format the correspondence
• Revise, edit, and proofread the correspondence
• Send the Correspondence
7. Presenting Yourself Effectively
In Correspondence
When you write business correspondence, follow these five
suggestions for presenting yourself as a professional:
• Use the appropriate level of formality.
• Communicate correctly.
• Project the “you attitude.”
• Avoid correspondence clichés.
• Communicate honestly.
8. 1. Use the appropriate Level of formality
• Too informal: Our meeting with United went south right away when
they threw a hissy fit, saying that we blew off the deadline for the
progress report.
• Moderately formal: In our meeting, the United representative
expressed concern that we had missed the deadline for the progress
report.
9. Cont.…
However, you don’t want to sound like a dictionary.
• Too formal: It was indubitably the case that our team was successful
in presenting a proposal that was characterized by quality of the
highest order. My appreciation for your industriousness is herewith
extended.
• Moderately formal: I think we put together an excellent proposal.
Thank you very much for your hard work.
10. 2. Communicate Correctly
• One issue closely related to formality is correctness.
• Correct writing is free of grammar, punctuation, style, usage, and
spelling errors. The most problems with correctness arise when
people use e-mail and microblogs.
11. 3. Project the “You Attitude”
• Correspondence must convey a courteous, positive tone
• “You attitude” — that is, looking at the situation from the reader’s
point of view and adjusting the content, structure, and tone to meet
his or her needs
12. Cont.…
• Following are two examples of thoughtless sentences, each followed
by an improved version that shows the “you attitude.”
• ACCUSING: You must have dropped the engine. The housing is badly
cracked.
• BETTER: The badly cracked housing suggests that your engine must
have fallen onto a hard surface from some height.
• Sarcastic: You’ll need two months to deliver these parts? Who do you
think you are, the post office?
• Better: Surely you would find a two-month delay for the delivery of
parts unacceptable in your business. That’s how I feel, too.
13. 4. Avoid Correspondence Clichés
Letter clichés
• attached please find
• enclosed please find
• pursuant to our agreement
• referring to your (“Referring to
your letter of March 19, the
shipment of pianos . . .”)
Natural equivalents
• attached is
• enclosed is
• as we agreed
• “As you wrote in your letter of
March 19, the . . .” (or
subordinate the reference at the
end of your sentence)
14. Letter clichés
• wish to advise (“We wish to
advise that . . .”)
• the writer (“The writer believes
that . . .”)
Natural equivalents
• (The phrase doesn’t say
anything. Just say what you want
to say.)
• “I believe . . .”
15. Letter containing clichés
Dear Mr. Smith:
Referring to your letter regarding the problem
encountered with your new Trailrider Snowmobile,
our Customer Service Department has just submitted
its report.
It is their conclusion that the malfunction is caused
by water being present in the fuel line. It is our
conclusion that you must have purchased some bad
gasoline. We trust you are cognizant of the fact that
while we guarantee our snowmobiles for a period of
not less than one year against defects in
workmanship and materials, responsibility cannot be
assumed for inadequate care. We wish to advise, for
the reason mentioned hereinabove, that we cannot
grant your request to repair the snowmobile free of
charge.
Permit me to say, however, that the writer would be
pleased to see that the fuel line is flushed at cost,
$30. Your Trailrider would then give you many years
of trouble-free service.
Enclosed please find an authorization card. Should
we receive it, we shall perform the above-mentioned
repair and deliver your snowmobile forthwith.
Sincerely yours,
Letter in natural language
Dear Mr. Smith:
Thank you for writing to us about the problem
with your new Trailrider Snowmobile.
Our Customer Service Department has found
water in the fuel line. Apparently some of the
gasoline was bad. While we guarantee our
snowmobiles for one year against defects in
workmanship and materials, we cannot assume
responsibility for problems caused by bad
gasoline. We cannot, therefore, grant your
request to repair the snowmobile free of
charge.
However, no serious harm was done to the
snowmobile. We would be happy to flush the
fuel line at cost, $30. Your Trailrider would then
give you many years of troublefree service. If
you will authorize us to do this work, we will
have your snowmobile back to you within four
working days. Just fill out the enclosed
authorization card and drop it in the mail.
Sincerely yours,
16. • The letter on the right side avoids clichés and shows an understanding
of the “you attitude.” Instead of focusing on the violation of the
warranty, it presents the conclusion as good news: the snowmobile is
not ruined, and it can be repaired and returned in less than a week for
a small charge.
18. Writing Letters
• Letters are still a basic means of communication between
organizations, with millions written each day. To write effective
letters, you need to understand the elements of a letter, its format,
and the common types of letters sent in the business world.
19. i. Elements of a Letter
• Most letters include a heading, inside address, salutation, body,
complimentary close, and signature. Some letters also include one or
more of the following: attention line, subject line, enclosure line, and
copy line.
20. ii. Format of a Letter
Two typical formats are used for letters:
• Modified block
• Full block.
21. Writing Memos
• Like letters, memos have a characteristic format, which consists of the
elements:
TO:
FROM:
DATE:
SUBJECT:
22. Writing E-mails
• Before you write an e-mail in the workplace, find out your
organization’s e-mail policies. Most companies have written policies
that discuss circumstances under which you may and may not use e-
mail, principles you should use in writing e-mails, and the monitoring
of employee e-mail.
23. Guidelines (E-mail)
When you write e-mail in the workplace, adhere to the following netiquette
guidelines. Netiquette refers to etiquette on a network.
• Stick to business.
• Don’t waste bandwidth.
• Use appropriate formality.
• Write correctly.
• Don’t flame.
• Make your message easy on the eyes.
• Don’t forward a message to an online discussion forum without the
writer’s permission.
• Don’t send a message unless you have something to say.
24. Writing Microblogs
• Microblogs are different from letters, memos, and e-mail in that they
are often extremely brief and quite informal in tone. Usually, you do
not revise microblogs extensively. You just proofread and send them.
25. Writing Correspondence
to Intercultural Readers
These differences fall into three categories:
• Cultural practices.
• Language use and tone.
• Application choice and use.
