Stream velocity does it have anything to do with discharge of stream or stream elevation?
Stream discharge physically depends on two factors: stream cross-sectional area and velocity. Area is composed of width and depth. Q (flow) = vel x width x depth. Stream elevation change, or how steep a stream is, will affect the velocity. Higher sloping streams (like those with few meanders) will travel faster than sinuous, snaking streams that have a lower elevation drop per length of stream.
What is the difference between stream discharge and stream velocity?
Stream discharge is a product of the velocity and the area of the stream (velocity x width x depth), and has units of volume per time (e.g. cubic feet per second, cubic meter per day, etc). Stream velocity is the vector describing the speed of the water and has units of length per time (feet per second, meter per second). Stream discharge is relatively constant as you move up and down a stream, while velocity will change predominately as you change depth. The velocity of water is lowest near the bed of the stream, and highest at the surface.
Snake bite first affects?
A snake bite first affects the blood stream and the area immediately around the bite. If the snake is venomous, a raised infected area may raise up around the bite.
How do you calculate injection pressure from product before injection molding?
By deviding the multification of line pressure and screw dia with the crosssectional area of hydralic cylinder piston.
How come Bernoullis principle say that as pressure decreases velocity increases when we know that as area increases pressure decreases we also know that as area decreases velocity increase?
By area do you mean cross sectional area of a stream tube? Bernoulli's principle only compares pressure and velocity and it covers all fluids. In the case of an ideal gas (constant density) decreasing the cross sectional area of a stream tube lets say; will not affect the pressure. But given any fluid volume..going from point a to point b if velocity decreases, particles in the fluid want to move outward. just remember any fluid must do two things move and apply pressure.
Calculate stream discharge?
Q (Discharge in m3/s) = A (cross-sectional area in m2) x u (velocity - a corrected value in m/s)
Why does a stream of water get narrower as it falls from a faucet?
It is because velocity is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area. As the water runs down from the faucet it changes velocity because of the pull of gravity, hence the liquid will be narrower as it falls down the ground.
Seepage velocity and discharge velocity?
Discharge Velocity is obtained by Dividing the Total Discharge by the total cross Sectional Area , Where Total cross sectional area Consists of void+solid. In contrast .. Seepage Velocity is defined as the total discharge by the Area of voids only. So Seepage velocity always greater than Discharge Velocity.
What is the land area form which a stream gets its water?
The stream's catchment.
How do you find volume if velocity and area are known?
You cannot. Velocity has nothing to do with volume and information on area, by itself, is not enough to determine the volume.
How does the suns energy affects the climate of an area?
It affects how warm the atmosphere is.
What is the velocity of plume migration of a contaminent spill?
it is the velocity (V) divided by the retardation of the contaminant. The velocity, V is different from the regular velocity (which is Discharge/Area). V = regular velocity/porosity
