  • Friction Loss Along a Pipe
    FRICTION LOSS ALONG A PIPE 1. INTRODUCTION The frictional resistance to which fluid is subjected as it flows along a pipe results in a continuous loss of energy or total head of the fluid. Fig 1 illustrates this in a simple case; the difference in levels between piezometers A and B represents the total head loss h in the length of pipe l. In hydraulic engineering it is customary to refer to the rate of loss of total head along the pipe, dh/dl, by the term hydraulic gradient, denoted by the symbol i, so that 푑ℎ = 푑푙 Fig 1 Diagram illustrating the hydraulic gradient Osborne Reynolds, in 1883, recorded a number of experiments to determine the laws of resistance in pipes. By introducing a filament of dye into the flow of water along a glass pipe he showed the existence of two different types of motion. At low velocities the filament appeared as a straight line which passed down the whole length of the tube, indicating laminar flow. At higher velocities, the filament, after passing a little way along the tube, suddenly mixed with the surrounding water, indicating that the motion had now become turbulent. 1 Experiments with pipes of different and with water at different temperatures led Reynolds to conclude that the parameter which determines whether the flow shall be laminar or turbulent in any particular case is 휌푣퐷 푅 = 휇 In which R denotes the Reynolds Number of the motion 휌 denotes the density of the fluid v denotes the velocity of flow D denotes the diameter of the pipe 휇 denotes the coefficient of viscosity of the fluid.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract When Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species 150 years ago he consciously avoided discussing the origin of life. However, analysis of some other texts written by Darwin, and of the correspondence he exchanged with friends and colleagues demonstrates that he took for granted the possibility of a natural emergence of the first life forms. As shown by notes from the pages he excised from his private notebooks, as early as 1837 Darwin was convinced that “the intimate relation of Life with laws of chemical combination, & the universality of latter render spontaneous generation not improbable”. Like many of his contemporaries, Darwin rejected the idea that putrefaction of preexisting organic compounds could lead to the appearance of organisms. Although he favored the possibility that life could appear by natural processes from simple inorganic compounds, his reluctance to discuss the issue resulted from his recognition that at the time it was possible to undertake the experimental study of the emergence of life.

  • Newsletter of the History of Geology Group of the Geological Society
    HOGG Newsletter of the History of Geology Group of The Geological Society Number 68 February 2020 Front cover WILLIAM AUGUSTUS EDMOND USSHER (1849‒1920), the centenary of whose death is remembered this year. Born in County Galway, Ireland in 1849, Ussher joined the Geological Survey of Great Britain (now British Geological Survey) in 1868 and spent his whole career (retiring in 1909) as a field and mapping surveyor. He is best known for his work in the south-west of England (Cornwall, Devon, Somerset), particularly his work on the Devonian, Carboniferous and Triassic strata. In 1894, he was awarded the Geological Society’s Murchison Medal. Many Survey maps and memoirs bear his name as does the Ussher Society founded in 1962 as a focus for geological research in south-west England.
