Â­TÂ­here are many different ways to create a motion sensor. For example: 1  It is common for stores to have a beam of light crossing the room near the door, and a photosensor on the other side of the Â­room. 2  When a customer breaks the beam, the photosensor detects the change in the amount of light and rings a bell.
Effluent is an outflowing of water or gas from a natural body of water, or from a manmade structure. Effluent, in engineering, is the stream exiting a chemical reactor. Effluent is defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as wastewater - treated or untreated - that flows out of a treatment plant, sewer, or industrial outfall. Generally refers to wastes discharged into surface waters.
A weir /ËwÉªÉr/ is a barrier across the horizontal width of the river that alters the flow characteristics of the water and usually results in a change in the vertical height of the river level. There are many designs of weir, but commonly water flows freely over the top of the weir crest before cascading down to a lower level.
