Of course it can be! It is potential energy! and potential energy can
always be added.
No it cannot be added. You can't cause that much friction with these
pipes. Not enough to measure. It you could, they would measure it,
before they turn on the Rossi machine. It would not magically begin
causing friction after they turn on the machine.
ØThere is no mechanism to add it, since the water is still moving when
it emerges from the machine, as fast as it was when it went in.
Ever hear of friction. No wonder your so-called calorimeter didn't work
Have you ever tried measuring the friction of water with a calorimeter?
Would you care to estimate how much heat is caused by this friction?
If there were measurable friction from the water, it would show up in
the calorimetry after they turn on the flow and before they turn on the
Rossi machine. That DOES NOT HAPPEN. Therefore, the friction is too
small to measure.
