An absorbing dynamometer acts as a load that is driven by the prime mover that is under test (e.g. Pelton wheel). The dynamometer must be able to operate at any speed and load to any level of torque that the test requires.
Other factors which may contribute to flooding include: 1  volume, spatial distribution, intensity and duration of rainfall over a catchment; 2  the capacity of the watercourse or stream network to convey runoff; 3  catchment and weather conditions prior to a rainfall event; 4  ground cover; 5  topography; and. 6  tidal influences.
Causes. There are two main factors that are responsible for causing hurricane storms, viz. warm water and moist, warm air. This is the reason why they begin in tropical regions. They occur when the moist, warm air from the surface of the ocean rises and meets the cooler air.
