Book excerpt: Excerpt from Present Practice in Deep Well Pumping Many pumps are manufactured with the steam engine attached, a combination which minimizes the loss of energy due to the trans mission of the power from some comparatively distant source. It also reduces the space required for the pumps, which is sometimes important. The majority of the larger pumps, however, are run by separate engines as by this means much better efficiencies for the steam can be obtained. Electricity may be used for running deep well pumps and in many cases is economical although the mechanical efficiency may be small. The advantage lies in the fact that little atten tion is required. At De Kalb, Illinois the pumps are driven by electricity, the regular attendants of the electric plant visit ing the pumps twice each day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Present Practice of Sinking and Boring Wells: With Geological Considerations and Examples of Wells Executed In modem times the tendency of the inhabitants of a country to dwell together in large communities, and the consequent need for accumulating in a particular locality a sufficient supply of water for household, social, and industrial purposes, have rendered necessary the construction of such engineering works as impounding reservoirs and wells, by means of which the abundant measure of sparsely populated districts may be utilized, and water obtained not only free from those impurities which it collects in densely populated districts, but also in greater quantity than the natural sources of the district are capable of supplying. Of the works mentioned, wells have fairly a primary claim upon the notice of the sanitary engineer, for, without undervaluing other sources of supply, the water from them certainly possesses the advantage over that from rivers and surface drainage, of being without organic admixture and impregnated with those deadly spores which find their way into surface waters and are so fatal in seasons of epidemic visitation. A great deal of the irregularity in the action of wells, and the consequent distrust with which they are regarded by many, is attributable either to improper situation or to the haphazard manner in which the search for underground water is frequently conducted. As regards the first cause, it cannot be too strongly stated that extreme caution is necessary in the choice of situations for wells, and that a sound geological knowledge of the country in which the attempt is to be made should precede any sinking or boring for this purpose, otherwise much useless expense may be incurred without a chance of success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pumps and Pumping Machinery The author does not think it necessary to enter into a history as to the first use of the ordinary pump, lift and force pumps of the usual type for domestic supply are now so well known that no notice need be taken of them. Descriptions of machinery at work, derived in most cases (except in some specially mentioned) from his own practice and experience are given. He would like it to be understood, where any data are given, especially as to the performance of machinery of any kind, that they may be taken in all cases as good average results, and not mere experiments. Dimensions are given of the leading apparatus connected with pumping machinery and plant, as well as various types of engines and boilers, to indicate to those who have not had much experience in this class of work what they should specify in stating their wants. The author hopes it may prevent in future, to some extent, the issue of the crude specifications and drawings that are too often seen, especially as they place contractors who tender for the work in an unfair position. Where so much is left to their own ideas, it necessarily follows that the tenders are very wide as to price. In the present day, when the lowest tender is usually accepted, it is necessary to have all the details of a proposed work clearly defined, especially as to the leading dimensions and way of finishing the work.

Download or read book Pumping in the Chemical Works Classic Reprint written by Norman Swindin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pumping in the Chemical Works Pumping water, sewage, petroleum and non-corrosive liquids in quantity forms so large a part of ordinary mechanical engineering practice that all the requirements connected therewith may be said to be satisfactorily fulfilled. The pumping of corrosive liquids is an entirely different problem and now may be considered a distinct branch of engineering. To the chemical engineer the problem is mainly one of materials. If a suitable material can be found resistant to a certain corrosive liquid and capable of being fashioned into a mechanical pumping contrivance, ordinary mechanical engineering practice may be followed. However, many ordinary corrosive liquids attack all substances from which simple mechanical pumps can be made. The problem is in such cases of a different character and consists in applying energy to produce the movement of liquids without the intervention of mechanical aids - to remove the piston, the ram, the valve and Springs, the glands and packing, the bearings and other weird things the mechanical mind has bequeathed to us.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Well-Boring for Water, Brine and Oil: A Manual of Current Practice No price would be too high to pay for absolute security against contamination of the most essential and most largely consumed article of our daily food and no matter how costly the deep bored well might be in comparison with the shallow dug well, its advantages would outweigh the initial expense. But to such a high state of efficiency has well-boring now been brought by the most advanced firms who make a speciality of this branch of engineering, that the outlay based on even a five or seven years' supply only is much less in a deep tube well than in a shallow dug well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pumping and Water Power That an ounce Of Practical knowledge, intelligently applied, is worth a pound Of Theory, may be accepted as an Axio matic truth. At the same time, it must be recognised that a combination of Theoretical and Practical acquaintance with any subject, affords the possessor immense advantages in making the best use of his knowledge of the subject in question. In no branch of Science has greater progress been made in one Century than in that Of Engineering, and so various and complex are the subjects with which an Engineer Of the present day must be in touch, that it is an utter impossibility for any man (who does not devote almost exclusive attention to one only Of the branches of his profession) to keep himself posted in the numerous matters that he must of necessity recognise. I venture to assert that few subjects are less generally included in an average Engineer's repertoire of knowledge than that of Hydraulics, unless his practice has led him to an especial study of the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Construction of Pump Details Attention was called by reviewers of the Author's 'Practical Handbook on Pump Construction' to the lack of details therein, and numerous requests for such information have shown how great is the need for particulars of this kind. It is with pleasure, therefore, that the Author submits this book, trusting that the information given will supply the requirement, at least to some extent. Most of the illustrations are from actual practice, and are drawn to scale. Dimensions are given where possible. Valves are but briefly dealt with, being fairly explained in the 'Practical Handbook on Pump Construction.' The Author wishes it to be clearly understood that here a "pump" implies the hydraulic apparatus used in raising or forcing liquids, and not the steam part, hence the details in this book are strictly confined to the water or hydraulic part of the apparatus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is a hot topic. From the stage of presidential debates to tonight's dinner table, it is an issue that most Americans are deeply concerned about. While there are many strategies for improving the educational process, we need a way to find out what works and what doesn't work as well. Educational assessment seeks to determine just how well students are learning and is an integral part of our quest for improved education. The nation is pinning greater expectations on educational assessment than ever before. We look to these assessment tools when documenting whether students and institutions are truly meeting education goals. But we must stop and ask a crucial question: What kind of assessment is most effective? At a time when traditional testing is subject to increasing criticism, research suggests that new, exciting approaches to assessment may be on the horizon. Advances in the sciences of how people learn and how to measure such learning offer the hope of developing new kinds of assessments-assessments that help students succeed in school by making as clear as possible the nature of their accomplishments and the progress of their learning. Knowing What Students Know essentially explains how expanding knowledge in the scientific fields of human learning and educational measurement can form the foundations of an improved approach to assessment. These advances suggest ways that the targets of assessment-what students know and how well they know it-as well as the methods used to make inferences about student learning can be made more valid and instructionally useful. Principles for designing and using these new kinds of assessments are presented, and examples are used to illustrate the principles. Implications for policy, practice, and research are also explored. With the promise of a productive research-based approach to assessment of student learning, Knowing What Students Know will be important to education administrators, assessment designers, teachers and teacher educators, and education advocates.
