coefficient (Cv) ratingof a valve is used by fluid power designers to calculate circuit flow, and compare one valvedesign against another as part of the sourcing decision. As such, it is important that a valvemanufacturer publish an accurate Cv rating in order to provide customers the needed applicationdata. The team determined that Cv accurately predicts flow (Q) or pressure drop (dp), using thespecific gravity (SG) of the fluid with expression9; √ . They also discovered thatvalve Cv is determined using a standard test protocol, FCI 68-2-1998, published by the FluidControls Institute3. The standard mandates that Cv must be determined using water (fluid) at60OF, and a valve pressure drop of one psid (bar). When valves are tested with water

power to produce electricity. The first task is to provide a qualitative theoryof water power usage as well as a discussion about the impact of water power historically andlocally. This discussion is very productive because of the community college's location within anarea central to America’s Industrial Revolution. The curriculum also includes simple fluidmechanics and terms such as head, flow and diameter of a pipe. The quantitative section of thewater power activity is to discover the principles of the flow equation, [Q = 0.62 * (cross-sectional area)*(2gh) 1/2]. This equation is supported with handouts and worksheets thatincorporate problems for the students to solve. As water falls, it is a potential source of energy.The greater the height
