meter is generally higher than that used for the orifice, usually ranging from .94 to .99. Due to simplicity and dependability, the Venturi tube flow-meter is often used in applications where higher turndown ratios or lower pressure drops than orifice plates can provide are necessary. With proper instrumentation and flow calibrating the venturi meter flow-rate can be reduced to about 10% of its full scale range with proper accuracy. This provides a turndown ratio of around 10:1. Consider the flow of

The top of the armor consists of a helmet vaguely reminiscent of Roman style. A curved metal cap that covers the hair and the back of the head, the helmet is made primarily of metal and has a metal fin at the top. The body armor covers the chest, shoulders, and waist but does not go any further. It seems to be composed of a shiny substance, either horn or leather, covering the chest and chainmail covering the rest, but the actual material of the armor is beyond me. The body armor is mainly yellow

1. The streak plate technique is a method of isolation. It is used to produce isolated colonies of organisms using a nutrient medium. In this case, it is used to isolate Serratia marcescens on an agar plate. This technique is used when one needs to separate organisms in a mixed culture. It encourages growth of only one organism. The viable counting technique is used in effort to estimate the number or viable, or living, cells. It relies on cells growing on the nutrient medium, i.e. agar. Multiple

7 December 2010 Mormonism: Cult or Religious Movement? Mormonism is one of the fastest growing religions in the world today. When it first was founded in 1830 there were only six members. A month later this number had grown to forty members. Currently there are estimated to be over 13,824,854 members in the entire world ("Newsroom "). After observing the belief systems of Mormonism one could argue that it contains more similarities to that of a cult compared to that of a new religious movement

Exp # 7 Impact of Jet Objectives : • Study the relation between the force produced and the change of momentum when a jet strikes a vane. • Compare between force exerted by a jet on a flat plate and on a hemispherical surface. Abstract The deflectors used in this experiment can be categorised into three geometries. Flat, hemisphere and Vane deflectors are used for this experiment. Calculated force , Fth and the percentage of error will be calculated in this experiment. Theory :

15 at this time. In 1823 when he was 18 he met “the angel Moroni “the glorified son of one Mormon”. Moroni came to Joseph “three times” and said to him to look for Gold-Plates on a hill in Palmyra, but to wait four years before he took them and not to show the tablets to anyone”. In 1827 he claimed Moroni brought the plates to him on September 22nd when he went to hill “Cumorah in Palmyra, New York” as he was told to do so four years earlier. For two years he worked on “translating the Gold
