Experimental Apparatus and Procedure
Experimental apparatus and procedure As shown in figure 1 , schematic diagram of the experimental apparatus is shown. The three pipes used in the
fabrication of the heat exchanger are made of brass(inner pipe), copper pipe(helical pipe), mild steel pipe(outer pipe). The inside diameters of the
three pipes are 0.03175m, 0.009525m and 0.0635m respectively with thickness of each pipe as 1.5mm only. The experimental set up is composed of a
test section, normal water loop, cold water loop, hot water loop and temperature measuring system. The water is used as working fluid. The test section
and the connections of piping system are designed such that parts can be changed for different flow arrangement. The hot water loop consists of a
storage tank, an electric heater of 3000W immerged inside the storage tank to obtain the high temperature of hot water, a pump and gate valve. The cold
water loop consists of a storage tank, a pump and gate valve. Ice cubes are used to cool down the temperature of tap water to nearly 130 C . The
normal water loop consists of storage tank, pump and gate valve. After the temperature of the water is adjusted to the desired level, the normal, cold
and hot water are pumped out of the storage tank and are passed through test section and discharged to outside. The flow rate of the water are
controlled by adjusting the valve and measured by the flow metres of +_ 0.2% of full scale. The heat exchanger is a concentric tube

Environmental and sustainability considerations for very large systems
As mentioned above, the demand for faster and smaller devices with higher performance is increasing. However with increasing devices, there is
increase in data generated. Large companies like google, amazon, Microsoft and many others generate huge amounts of data which is stored in large
storage centres called Data centres. It is estimated that by 2020, around 35 zettabytes of data will be generated every year [6]. To store and manage
such large data, huge data centres are required. However there are many challenges faced while operation of these datacentres.
One of the challenges faced by the data centres is land occupied by these data centres. Due to increasing amounts of data, larger and more number
of data centres are being built. For example, one of the largest data centre by digital realty occupies 1.1 million ft2 of land and require 53 generators
[6]. It is estimated that by 2017 there will be around 8.6 million data centres around the world and although the numbers might decrease after 2017,
the space occupied will increase. Data centre swill occupy around 1.94 billion ft2 by 2018 [7].
Second and the most important challenge faced by the companies are the amount of energy required to manage data centres. All the data centres
around the world use around 30 billion watts of energy on average, which is equal to output by 30 nuclear power plants [6]. By 2020 it is expected that,

Thermal Equilibrium Experiment
ABSTRACT
This laboratory focused on the thermodynamic processes involved when two incompressible substances are mixed together. 12 experiments were
performed, 10 involving the combination of a measured amount of hot and cold water and 2 involving the combination of ice and liquid water, the
majority of these experiments were performed three times. The average variance in final temperature for each experiment was less than 10 percent
providing proof of repeatability. Equipment used during the experiment included a gram scale, thermocouple, Styrofoam cup, glass beakers,
microwave, an ice bath and ice. The first half of the experiment was dedicated to the mixing of two containers of water at different temperatures. The

Supplies necessary for completing the experiment were a gram scale, at least one Styrofoam cup, at least two glass beakers, at least one thermocouple
for measuring temperature, an ice bath to cool down the water and a microwave to heat the water. The beakers were used to first measure out the
correct amount of water with the gram scale. The weight of the beaker was taken into effect and subtracted from the ending weight of the beaker and
water combined. After two beakers were filled with the appropriate amount of water for each experiment according to Table I, the beaker containing the
water to be chilled was lowered into an ice bath to reduce the temperature of the water. The beaker containing the water to be heated was put into the
microwave and heated until the correct temperature was obtained. After verifying the temperature of the two liquids, they were mixed together into a
Styrofoam cup. A thermocouple was quickly inserted and stirred in the water to maintain a uniform temperature reading. Once the temperature

The Water Salt Water Solution
When observing the properties of water, we see liquid freeze into a solid all the time in our everyday lives. For instance, something as simple as
putting a bottle of water in a freezer freezes the water into a solid in a few hours, or even a pond can be frozen over in the middle of a harsh
winter. Molecules of water or H2O are proven to freeze at a temperature of 0В°C, but what is puzzling is that when looking at the ocean, the waters
do not freeze no matter what the temperature is outside. The reason the ocean does not freeze is because it is not pure water, but a solution of NaCl
and H2.O, also known as salt–water. The ocean salt–water solution actually has a freezing point of –2В°C, but if a salt water solution is saturated it

Before the experiment was started, goggles were put on in order to protect our eyes from any accident with the solutions, and a chemicals utilized
table was acquired to fill out throughout the experiment. To start, a water beaker bath and an ice beaker bath were prepared. The water beaker bath
was placed on a hotplate. Then 5.00 grams (plus or minus a hundredth of a gram) of tert–butanol was obtained and put in a large test tube. Then a
thermocouple connected to a LabQuest was positioned in the sample. The test tube was balanced in the water bath with the tert–butanol below the
water level and the hot plate was turned on. The water bath was heated until the thermocouple read above 50 В°C. Once the sample was above 50
В°C, the LabQuest was set to record temperature data at 10 samples per minute. After some data was gathered, the sample was removed from the water
bath and positioned in the ice bath. Once the temperature measurements steadied for a few minutes and there was ice formed in the test tube, the trial
was concluded. Three more trials were performed using different amounts of additive substances. The tert–butanol sample from the first trial was

Gunpowder Research Paper
Gunpowder is believed to be originated in China, dating back to as early as 142 AD. A man by the name of Wei Boyang writes a substance with
the properties of gunpowder, created by alchemist, mixing 3 powders said to be "explosive" in today's terms. Scientists cannot be certain than this
was actual gun powder he wrote of, but no other explosive know is made of only 3 powders. Over the next 700 years references are made to this
Chinese gunpowder until finally in the 800's AD the first confirmed references and formulas using a variety of different proportions of key ingredients
– saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal to make the explosive occurred. The Chinese used the powder in military for multiple types of bombs and projectiles

holder which can be quickly pressed onto to a nipple mounted in the rear of a gun barrel. When the trigger is pulled, the hammer strikes the cap,

Simple Distillation Of Hexane Lab Report
This experiment consisted of a simple distillation of a hexane and heptane mixture. The first, third, and fourth fraction were taken and recorded in
Table–1. The first fraction temperature ranged from 29.7В°C – 38.2В°C. The second fraction temperature range was recorded as 40.3В°C–41.7В°C,
but this fraction was not used. The third fraction temperature range was determined to be 41.8В°C – 36.5В°C. Finally, the fourth fraction temperature
range was 34.5В°C–27.3В°C. The ranges of the temps following the second fraction began to decrease, causing a discrepancy in the data. This

Heat Transfer from Extended Surfaces and Combined Convection–Radiation Analysis
Imaad Ali
Section: ABE, Thursday 8–10 am
TA– Amir Chavoshi
Submission Date: 11th March 2015
A. Introduction
The primary objective of this experiment to try and understand the heat transfer characteristics from extended surfaces such as cylindrical pins as
conduction. Extended surfaces or 'fins' as they're normally referred to, are utilized to increase the rate of heat transfer to or from the environment by
increasing convection. Adding fins to an object is often seen as an economical solution to heat transfer issues. We will also study its heat propagation
through a combined convection and radiation analysis.
There will be two main parts to this experiment. In the first part, we will study the power lost from a 0.35m brass cylindrical pin due to natural
convection and radiation. This will be done by inspecting the input power and the temperature along different points on the pin. The different
temperature points will give an idea on the loss of heat between specific sections. The second part will be concerned with studying the combine effect
of natural convection/radiation and comparing it with the effects of forced convection/radiation. The latter can be observed by forcing air over the
desired interface.
There are certain assumptions that will be made to carry out the said experiment. The heat flow will always be considered one dimensional. The system

The Use Of Thermal Resistance Between A Heated Surface And...
The objectives of this experiment are to apply the concept of thermal resistance between a heated surface and its surrounding, and to study the
effects of attaching fins to the surface. Analysis was conducted on 3 different surfaces, a flat plate, a flat plate with 1 fin, and a flat plate with 2
fins. The experiment setup is displayed in Figure 1 below. It consists of placing the blower next to the black cardboard with air flow direction
parallel to the cardboard, and using the blower to force convection on the electronically heated plate, with 0, 1, or 2 fins. Each plate and fin(s) are
thermocouple embedded. Temperature data was taken using the LABVIEW program in the lab and photos are taken by using IR Cameras. Some
assumptions for this... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Since the fins provide more surface area through which convective heat transfer occurs, there would logically be less resistance to heat dissipation
through the medium. This decrease in total thermal resistance results in higher heat transfer rate as more fins are introduced. Surface temperature of the
plate was also observed to vary with the number of fins that are attached to the plate, which is likely a result of the increased heat transfer rate brought
about by the fins. This can be modeled as adding thermal resistors in parallel. The resultant thermal resistance is lower than that of any resistor
separately. Because of this lower resistance, the system is capable of achieving higher heat transfer rates, and thus less energy is stored in the system at
steady state conditions, resulting in lower surface temperatures.
As shown in Appendix I, the convection heat transfer coefficient is a function of surface area, air velocity, and conductivities of the air and plate
materials. Analysis revealed that the plate itself had a much lower convection heat transfer coefficient than the fins in both the one–fin and two–fin
configurations; therefore, it is unwise to assume that hfin is equal to hplate. This is most like due to the fact that the fins have been designed and
optimized to enhance the convection from the plate, both in terms of the surface area through which heat can transfer to the free air, as well as the
material properties

immense knowledge of this supervisor encouraged the author a lot. The authors would also like to thank Dr. Parashkev Nachev for his innovative
ideas and the help in brain model design. Besides, the author's thanks also goes to the friends in the Nanoengineered Systems Lab: Zhuyang Chen,
Feihuang Fang and Dr. Chaoyi Peng for their encouragement and useful comments. 1 Introduction Focal cerebral cooling (FCC), positioning cooling
devices under the scalp, is a promising cooling method in selective brain cooling. This less–invasive cooling method was recently drawn attention as a
neuroprotective therapy for brain injuries (Juan Sahuquillo and Anna Vilalta, 2007; Liu et al., 2006) and several nerve diseases (Wagner and
Zuccarello, 2005; Oku et al., 2009). With the development of medical engineering technology, the cooling device of FCC made a rapid progress from
cold–water catheter (Towfighi et al., 1994) to thermoelectric cooling chip (Fujii et al., 2010). However, in the study of several existing FCC cooling
devices using Peltier chip as the main body (Kida et al., 2012; Nomura et al., 2014; Imoto et al., 2006), there are still lots of room for improvement to

components that rely on solar panels have a drawback and the drawback is when there isn't enough sunlight, it will be harder for component work
properly. Dust will build over period of time and during winter less amount of sunlight is the heavy maintenance. That will affect the components

Temperature And Pressure Measurements Of An Ideal Gas
Temperature and Pressure Measurements of an Ideal Gas
That Is Heated in a Closed Container
Introduction
This report discusses an experiment to study the relationship of temperature and pressure of an ideal gas (air) that was heated in a closed container.
Because the ideal gas was in a closed container, its volume remained constant. The objective of the experiment is to test whether the ideal equation of
state holds. In the equation,
pV = mRT,
where p is the pressure the gas, V is the volume, m is the mass, R is a constant, and T is temperature. This report presents the procedures for the
experiment, the experiment 's results, and an analysis of those results.
Procedures
In this experiment, air (an ideal gas) was heated in a pressure vessel with a volume of 1 liter. Attached to this pressure vessel was a pressure
transducer and thermocouple to measure the pressure and the temperature, respectively, of the air inside the vessel. Both of these transducers produced
voltage signals (in Volts) that were calibrated to the pressure (kPa) and temperature (K) of the air (the atmospheric pressure for where the experiment
occurred is assumed to be 13.6 psia). In addition, the theoretical temperature (K) of air was calculated as a function of the measured pressured values
(kPa).

The Effect Of Water Fog System On The Outbreak Of Fire Essay
A fire in vehicle was simulated in Reselat Tunnel in Tehran using FDS solver to check the efficiency of the available fire protection system. A
comparison was done between the water mist system and sprinkler system to analyse their respective effects on the outbreak of fire.
FDS was used as the interface for modelling the tunnel with a heat source, a total of six fans causing forced ventilation. FDS works by solving the
Navier– Stokes Equation which focusses on smoke development and heat transport from fire. Overall computation is considered as a LES. Domain
geometry, mesh resolution and boundary conditions are some of the inputs.
The modelling conditions have been presented in a tabular form:
Tunnel Dimension100mx13.5mx9m
Vehicle Dimension 4.4mx2mx1.4m
Flow Rate Of Jet Fan33.3 cubic metre per second
Fire Heat Release Rate10 MW
Computational Domain has been divided into 3 3D computational meshes with 40cm mesh density on which fire was resolved. Total computational
time was 300 seconds.
The next step was to check the effect of water mist system and sprinkler system individually on the outbreak of fire with a main aim of comparing
their effectiveness in outbreak of a fire.
The nozzles used for the analysis were modelled based on their operating pressures, flow rates and droplet size distributions. The input data for both

Furnace Breaking Research Paper
Usually, furnaces don't often break down. Durable, sturdy and made to last for almost a lifetime, owners can count on them working when they need
them the most––especially when cold weather sets in as it often does in Galena and surrounding parts of Ohio.
But, be it as it is, life happens. Fortunately, there are a few tell–tale signs of a coming furnace breakdown and listed below are some of the most
common indicated problems.

Potassium Ocreate To Oxidize An Unknown Secondary Alcohol
Results The experiment performed included the use of sodium hypochlorite (bleach) to oxidize an unknown secondary alcohol and the
determination of the identity of the alcohol and the ketone product by IR spectroscopy. To begin the experiment, approximately 1.75 g of the
assigned alcohol, unknown D, was added to a 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask along with 1 mL of acetic acid. After 15 mL of household bleach were
dispensed into a graduated cylinder, it was added in small increments with a pipette to the alcohol mixture, which was simultaneously stirred. The
temperature was monitored extremely closely with a thermocouple as the bleach was added to the solution to make sure that it did not exceed 45 oC.
An ice bath was made to cool the solution as a precautionary measure. The thermocouple seemed to malfunction occasionally because the temperatures
that it displayed fluctuated and increased rapidly with the additions of bleach, leading to the flask being submerged into the ice water bath. However,
the temperature finally rose at a slower rate and stabilized between 40 and 45 oC after all the bleach was added. Since the exact concentration of the
added bleach and millimoles of starting unknown alcohol were unknown, potassium iodide–starch paper was used to make sure that an excess amount
of oxidant (bleach) was present. The starch paper turned a blue–black color when a drop of sample was added, which meant that there was excess
bleach in the solution to oxidize all of the alcohol. Next,

Now we will discuss a brief history of early atomic battery development.
Henry G. J. Moseley, known for developing the Atomic Number and numerous other contributions to physics and chemistry, created the first known
atomic battery in 1913 with his demonstration of the beta cell. He experimented with a radioactive isotope of the element radium, and the respective
emissions of beta particles, to form the first atomic battery (source 5). This first crude battery saw minimal success and effectiveness, and it wasn't
until 1954 when the "Radio Corporation of America (RCA) began studying atomic batteries for the use of small radio receivers and hearing aids"
that atomic batteries became practical and more potential was realized (source 6). Moving forward to the 1980's, inventor Paul Brown developed an
atomic battery that was much more powerful than most thermal batteries out at the time. Brown used the emission of alpha and beta particles in
radioactive materials to create an extremely powerful magnetic field. As discussed before, these alpha and beta particles contain kinetic energy to help
collide atomic particles. The energy produced from this system was so rapid and immense that controlling the cell was extremely difficult. This proved
to be a towering roadblock for most scientists to continue research for atomic batteries, until Brown was able to invent an approach to encompass the
uncontrollable magnetic fields. "This battery was so powerful

Robots And The Robot Robots
In the mid 1970's second generation robots were introduced. As these robots became more advanced they were equipped with internal sensors which
gave them a major advantage over first generation robots. This new technology gave them increased information about the world around them.
Robots use sensors to detect changes around them and to respond to their surroundings based on the information they receive from certain sensors.
There are many types of sensors that perform a variety of tasks by transforming mechanical, heat, and light energies into electrical signals. The
signals produced by sensors communicate to the robot on how it should respond to different situations. This gives the robot a higher sense of
intelligence and adaptive skills by providing more information about its environment. These skills allow the robot to change their manipulator
location and the position of its end effector so that it can work around obstructions in its work envelope. The robot 's surroundings, the precision
needed, and what must be sensed all help decide what type of sensor must be used for the robot. Depending on these credentials, robots could be
equipped with light, optical, sound, or temperature sensors. Light is a form of radiation that makes up a group of frequencies in the electromagnetic
spectrum that we can see. Robots can react to this form of radiation by using light sensors. Light sensors respond to variations in light energy by

The Effects Of The Seebeck Effect
Introduction
1.1 Seebeck Effect
When two ends of a conductor are held at different temperatures electrons at
the hot junction at higher thermal velocities diffuse to the cold junction. Seebeck
discovered that making one end of a metal bar hotter or colder than the other produced
an EMF between the two ends. He experimented with junctions (simple mechanical
connections) made between different conducting materials. He found that if he created
a temperature difference between two electrically connected junctions (e.g., heating
one of the junctions and cooling the other) the wire connecting the two junctions
would cause a compass needle to deflect. He thought that he had discovered a way to
transform thermal energy into a magnetic ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
вћў TH and TC are the hot and cold thermocouple temperatures, respectively, in ok.
The reverse of the Seebeck effect is also possible: by passing a current through two
junctions, you can create a temperature difference. This process was discovered in
1834 by scientist named Peltier, and thus it is called the Peltier effect. This may sound
similar to Joule heating described above, but in fact it is not. In Joule heating the
current is only increasing the temperature in the material in which it flows. In Peltier
effect devices, a temperature difference is created: one junction becomes cooler and
one junction becomes hotter. Although Peltier coolers are not as efficient as some
other types of cooling devices, they are accurate, easy to control, and easy to adjust.
Peltier effect devices are used coolers for microelectronic devices such as
microcontrollers and computer CPU. Peltier found there was an opposite phenomenon
to the Seebeck Effect, whereby thermal energy could be absorbed at one dissimilar
metal junction and discharged at the other junction when an electric current flowed
within the closed circuit. the thermocouple circuit is modified to obtain a

Fire Containment Is A Passive Protection Method
There are two main types of fire protection: active and passive. The differences between the two are that active fire protection requires outside help in
the form of mechanical or electrical power for the device to work. A passive system works with no outside help at all. Fire containment is a passive
protection method. There are three types of passive devices: limiting the rate of fire growth, fire containment and then emergency egress. Fire
containment is accomplished by limiting a fully involved fire to the room or area that it is located. This is done through continuous researching and
testing. Fire containment is most successful when complete testing has been done on the many components of the building 's construction and materials.

Tests can be conducted under non–load bearing, load bearing, unrestrained, and restrained conditions. Non–load bearing tests are conducted to
determine when the fire will spread to the neighboring compartment. This happens when the heat transfer is high enough to ignite items in the non–fire
room. This test can also result in the wall becoming too hot and cracking, creating a path for the fire to travel. The test is measured by the time it takes
for cotton waste on the unexposed side to ignite. Unlike the non–load bearing test, the load bearing test is conducted to see how long the structure will
withstand before is collapses. A collapse not only creates a path for the fire to travel, but it also affects the safety of anyone that would be inside. The
test is conducted while the assembly being tested is under a weighted load, and the test is concluded when the assembly begins to collapse. This test is
mainly used for wood. Steel and concrete are tested without weight because they will arch when they near breaking point. When testing steel–framed
floors, ceilings, and roof assemblies, they are tested under both restrained and unrestrained conditions. The steel frame is made to resist the forces of
thermal expansion on the industrial steel. It is important to test under restrained conditions, and this test is required for building parts that make up a

To achieve this, the final value from each thermocouple was set to be equal to the warm water bath temperature (370C), and the initial reading was set
equal to the ice water bath temperature. Thus, for each thermocouple an equation was obtained using the two points to convert voltage readings to
temperature. An example of the calibration for one of the thermocouples is shown in Appendix II.
LUMPED ANALYSIS
To determine if a lumped–parameter analysis could be applied, the Biot numbers for the systems were calculated (shown in Table 1).
Table 1: Biot numbers for the aluminum and Plexiglas cylinders. | Bi| Aluminum| 0.07| Plexiglas| 81|
Since the Bi value of the aluminum system is less than 0.1, convection from the water to the surface of the cylinder is the rate limiting heat transfer
mechanism. Thus, a lumped–parameter analysis can be safely applied. The Plexiglas system, on the other hand, has a Bi &gt;&gt; 0.1, and the rate
limiting mechanism is conduction in the cylinder.
The temperature–time plot gotten by applying a lumped–parameter analysis (Equation 6) to the Aluminum cylinder was compared to the plot obtained
from the thermocouple located closest to center of the cylinder. This thermocouple is chosen for comparison because it is located farthest from the
heating source and will have a temperature history that differs most from an ideal lumped system. With this thermocouple, we should therefore obtain

Summary
Sentinal Fire Protection Ltd (SFP) is a company that design and specialises in the design and manufacture of fire detection and extinguishing systems
for aircrafts. SFP have been tasked with carrying out tests on a new fire extinguishant named Agent H3.
Due to the findings conducted in 1994 as per the Montreal Protocol (a protocol to the Vienna Convention for the Protection of theOzone Layer), the
commonly used fire extinguishing agent Halon 1301 ceased production. Halon 1301 is a CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) gas, which the Montreal Protocol
concluded, had a tendency to significantly breakdown the earths ozone layer. The termination of Halon 1301 prompted the need for a CFC free
replacement fire extinguishing agent.
The replacement extinguishant, Agent H3 was tested by SFP under controlled conditions which simulated a bulk load cargo fire inside a compartment
with a volume of 58m3. The effectiveness of Agent H3 was constantly monitored through thermocouples and data loggers. It's efficiency as a fire
suppressant was based on two criterion set by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), the temperature acceptance criterion and the maximum time
/temp criterion, with the outcome of a lower result being more effective. These results would then be compared with the known results of Halon 1301

One can easily argue that no single discovery changed the face of the earth more than electricity. We can witness its innumerable uses in our lives on a

how electrical potential created at a junction of leads (of different metals) varies with temperature. Continuing down this line of thought, I ended up
with the following research question; Having an understanding of the Seebeck effect, how will the electrical potential generated at the junction of leads
made of different conductive materials vary with temperature, which will be measured by a homemade thermocouple thermometer? The concepts

Thermocouple Variances
Finally, an F Test was used to determine if the variances of the two thermocouple measurement sets were different. A one tailed test was used to test if
the T–type thermocouple measurements had a variance equal to that of the
K–type thermocouple measurements. The null hypothesis is that the two variances are equal. The F–value is 1.93 and the critical F value is 1.61.
Because the F–value is larger than the critical F–value, we reject the null hypothesis that the two variances are identical. Thus, the variances of the two

It's a method used to describe the stability of biomolecules such as proteins, and also used to measure the molecule's heat change associated its thermal
denaturation when heated.
When a protein molecule is placed in solution, an equilibrium is created between its' folded conformations and unfolded conformations.
It's also used to measure the heat change resulting from the heat–induced denaturation as well as the enthalpy of change in heat capacity of the
molecules thermal denaturation.
DSC elucidates factors that contributes in proteins Stability and folding which include; hydrophobic interaction, Conformational enthalpy, the external
environment and H–bonding.
The data obtained from DSC provides important information on proteins stability during processes of development, multiplication and also in

Environmental and sustainability considerations for very large systems As mentioned above, the demand for faster and smaller devices with higher performance is increasing. However with increasing devices, there is increase in data generated. Large companies like google, amazon, Microsoft and many others generate huge amounts of data which is stored in large storage centres called Data centres. It is estimated that by 2020, around 35 zettabytes of data will be generated every year [6]. To store and manage such large data, huge data centres are required. However there are many challenges faced while operation of these datacentres. One of the challenges faced by the data centres is land occupied by these data centres. Due to increasing amounts of data, larger and more number of data centres are being built. For example, one of the largest data centre by digital realty occupies 1.1 million ft2 of land and require 53 generators [6]. It is estimated that by 2017 there will be around 8.6 million data centres around the world and although the numbers might decrease after 2017, the space occupied will increase. Data centre swill occupy around 1.94 billion ft2 by 2018 [7]. Second and the most important challenge faced by the companies are the amount of energy required to manage data centres. All the data centres around the world use around 30 billion watts of energy on average, which is equal to output by 30 nuclear power plants [6]. By 2020 it is expected that, US datacentres ...

Molecules of water or H2O are proven to freeze at a temperature of 0В°C, but what is puzzling is that when looking at the ocean, the waters do not freeze no matter what the temperature is outside. The reason the ocean does not freeze is because it is not pure water, but a solution of NaCl and H2.O, also known as salt–water. The ocean salt–water solution actually has a freezing point of –2В°C, but if a salt water solution is saturated it freezes at... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

To start, a water beaker bath and an ice beaker bath were prepared. The water beaker bath was placed on a hotplate. Then 5.00 grams (plus or minus a hundredth of a gram) of tert–butanol was obtained and put in a large test tube. Then a thermocouple connected to a LabQuest was positioned in the sample. The test tube was balanced in the water bath with the tert–butanol below the water level and the hot plate was turned on. The water bath was heated until the thermocouple read above 50 В°C. Once the sample was above 50 В°C, the LabQuest was set to record temperature data at 10 samples per minute. After some data was gathered, the sample was removed from the water bath and positioned in the ice bath. Once the temperature measurements steadied for a few minutes and there was ice formed in the test tube, the trial was concluded. Three more trials were performed using different amounts of additive substances. The tert–butanol sample from the first trial was reused for the second trial.

With the ease of firing coming about, people then started looking to improve the accuracy of these new guns. Much the same idea as archers angle the fletching to cause rotation to improve flight and accuracy of the arrow, so does rifling do to a bullet. By cutting slowly twisting grooves down the interior length of the barrel, the bullet was set to have a spin as it left the barrel, improving range and accuracy. Improvements to the flintlock would be made over the next couple centuries as people expanded to the new world, broadening its uses and abilities. Materials other than lead had been used as projectiles, but due to its ease of casting for balls and bullets as projectiles and its ballistic properties remained and still is a prominent material. In 1807 Rev. Forsyth, a Scottish clergyman, developed an ignition system using the principle that certain chemicals would ignite with a spark if struck a sharp blow, and in 1822 the percussion cap was invented. The percussion cap contains a small charge of chemical in a small copper cuplike holder which can be quickly pressed onto to a nipple mounted in the rear of a gun barrel.

ME320 Lab 3 Heat Transfer from Extended Surfaces and Combined Convection–Radiation Analysis Imaad Ali Section: ABE, Thursday 8–10 am TA– Amir Chavoshi Submission Date: 11th March 2015 A. Introduction The primary objective of this experiment to try and understand the heat transfer characteristics from extended surfaces such as cylindrical pins as conduction. Extended surfaces or 'fins' as they're normally referred to, are utilized to increase the rate of heat transfer to or from the environment by increasing convection. Adding fins to an object is often seen as an economical solution to heat transfer issues. We will also study its heat propagation through a combined convection and radiation analysis. There will be two main parts to this experiment. In the first part, we will study the power lost from a 0.35m brass cylindrical pin due to natural convection and radiation. This will be done by inspecting the input power and the temperature along different points on the pin. The different temperature points will give an idea on the loss of heat between specific sections. The second part will be concerned with studying the combine effect of natural convection/radiation and comparing it with the effects of forced convection/radiation. The latter can be observed by forcing air over the desired interface. There are certain assumptions that will be made to carry out the said experiment. The heat flow will always be considered one dimensional. The system is considered ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The objectives of this experiment are to apply the concept of thermal resistance between a heated surface and its surrounding, and to study the effects of attaching fins to the surface. Analysis was conducted on 3 different surfaces, a flat plate, a flat plate with 1 fin, and a flat plate with 2 fins. The experiment setup is displayed in Figure 1 below. It consists of placing the blower next to the black cardboard with air flow direction parallel to the cardboard, and using the blower to force convection on the electronically heated plate, with 0, 1, or 2 fins. Each plate and fin(s) are thermocouple embedded. Temperature data was taken using the LABVIEW program in the lab and photos are taken by using IR Cameras. Some assumptions for this... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Since the fins provide more surface area through which convective heat transfer occurs, there would logically be less resistance to heat dissipation through the medium. This decrease in total thermal resistance results in higher heat transfer rate as more fins are introduced. Surface temperature of the plate was also observed to vary with the number of fins that are attached to the plate, which is likely a result of the increased heat transfer rate brought about by the fins. This can be modeled as adding thermal resistors in parallel. The resultant thermal resistance is lower than that of any resistor separately. Because of this lower resistance, the system is capable of achieving higher heat transfer rates, and thus less energy is stored in the system at steady state conditions, resulting in lower surface temperatures. As shown in Appendix I, the convection heat transfer coefficient is a function of surface area, air velocity, and conductivities of the air and plate materials. Analysis revealed that the plate itself had a much lower convection heat transfer coefficient than the fins in both the one–fin and two–fin configurations; therefore, it is unwise to assume that hfin is equal to hplate. This is most like due to the fact that the fins have been designed and optimized to enhance the convection from the plate, both in terms of the surface area through which heat can transfer to the free air, as well as the material properties ...

The motivation, enthusiasm, and immense knowledge of this supervisor encouraged the author a lot. The authors would also like to thank Dr. Parashkev Nachev for his innovative ideas and the help in brain model design. Besides, the author's thanks also goes to the friends in the Nanoengineered Systems Lab: Zhuyang Chen, Feihuang Fang and Dr. Chaoyi Peng for their encouragement and useful comments. 1 Introduction Focal cerebral cooling (FCC), positioning cooling devices under the scalp, is a promising cooling method in selective brain cooling. This less–invasive cooling method was recently drawn attention as a neuroprotective therapy for brain injuries (Juan Sahuquillo and Anna Vilalta, 2007; Liu et al., 2006) and several nerve diseases (Wagner and Zuccarello, 2005; Oku et al., 2009). With the development of medical engineering technology, the cooling device of FCC made a rapid progress from cold–water catheter (Towfighi et al., 1994) to thermoelectric cooling chip (Fujii et al., 2010). However, in the study of several existing FCC cooling devices using Peltier chip as the main body (Kida et al., 2012; Nomura et al., 2014; Imoto et al., 2006), there are still lots of room for improvement to meet clinical use requirements.

This is why NASA chose to create a Curiosity Rover which doesn't a lot rely on solar panels, but it also rely on other power sources. When components that rely on solar panels have a drawback and the drawback is when there isn't enough sunlight, it will be harder for component work properly. Dust will build over period of time and during winter less amount of sunlight is the heavy maintenance. That will affect the components during the mission because the components might fail on the spot. For example, during the mars mission they had different types of sources to keep the components.

  • 19. Temperature And Pressure Measurements Of An Ideal Gas Temperature and Pressure Measurements of an Ideal Gas That Is Heated in a Closed Container Introduction This report discusses an experiment to study the relationship of temperature and pressure of an ideal gas (air) that was heated in a closed container. Because the ideal gas was in a closed container, its volume remained constant. The objective of the experiment is to test whether the ideal equation of state holds. In the equation, pV = mRT, where p is the pressure the gas, V is the volume, m is the mass, R is a constant, and T is temperature. This report presents the procedures for the experiment, the experiment 's results, and an analysis of those results. Procedures In this experiment, air (an ideal gas) was heated in a pressure vessel with a volume of 1 liter. Attached to this pressure vessel was a pressure transducer and thermocouple to measure the pressure and the temperature, respectively, of the air inside the vessel. Both of these transducers produced voltage signals (in Volts) that were calibrated to the pressure (kPa) and temperature (K) of the air (the atmospheric pressure for where the experiment occurred is assumed to be 13.6 psia). In addition, the theoretical temperature (K) of air was calculated as a function of the measured pressured values (kPa). Results and Discussion This section analyses the results of the experiment. The experiment went as expected with no unusual events that would have introduced error. The voltages as measured

Potassium Ocreate To Oxidize An Unknown Secondary Alcohol Results The experiment performed included the use of sodium hypochlorite (bleach) to oxidize an unknown secondary alcohol and the determination of the identity of the alcohol and the ketone product by IR spectroscopy. To begin the experiment, approximately 1.75 g of the assigned alcohol, unknown D, was added to a 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask along with 1 mL of acetic acid. After 15 mL of household bleach were dispensed into a graduated cylinder, it was added in small increments with a pipette to the alcohol mixture, which was simultaneously stirred. The temperature was monitored extremely closely with a thermocouple as the bleach was added to the solution to make sure that it did not exceed 45 oC. An ice bath was made to cool the solution as a precautionary measure. The thermocouple seemed to malfunction occasionally because the temperatures that it displayed fluctuated and increased rapidly with the additions of bleach, leading to the flask being submerged into the ice water bath. However, the temperature finally rose at a slower rate and stabilized between 40 and 45 oC after all the bleach was added. Since the exact concentration of the added bleach and millimoles of starting unknown alcohol were unknown, potassium iodide–starch paper was used to make sure that an excess amount of oxidant (bleach) was present. The starch paper turned a blue–black color when a drop of sample was added, which meant that there was excess bleach in the solution to oxidize all of the alcohol. Next, ...

Now we will discuss a brief history of early atomic battery development. Henry G. J. Moseley, known for developing the Atomic Number and numerous other contributions to physics and chemistry, created the first known atomic battery in 1913 with his demonstration of the beta cell. He experimented with a radioactive isotope of the element radium, and the respective emissions of beta particles, to form the first atomic battery (source 5). This first crude battery saw minimal success and effectiveness, and it wasn't until 1954 when the "Radio Corporation of America (RCA) began studying atomic batteries for the use of small radio receivers and hearing aids" that atomic batteries became practical and more potential was realized (source 6). Moving forward to the 1980's, inventor Paul Brown developed an atomic battery that was much more powerful than most thermal batteries out at the time. Brown used the emission of alpha and beta particles in radioactive materials to create an extremely powerful magnetic field. As discussed before, these alpha and beta particles contain kinetic energy to help collide atomic particles. The energy produced from this system was so rapid and immense that controlling the cell was extremely difficult. This proved to be a towering roadblock for most scientists to continue research for atomic batteries, until Brown was able to invent an approach to encompass the uncontrollable magnetic fields.

As these robots became more advanced they were equipped with internal sensors which gave them a major advantage over first generation robots. This new technology gave them increased information about the world around them. Robots use sensors to detect changes around them and to respond to their surroundings based on the information they receive from certain sensors. There are many types of sensors that perform a variety of tasks by transforming mechanical, heat, and light energies into electrical signals. The signals produced by sensors communicate to the robot on how it should respond to different situations. This gives the robot a higher sense of intelligence and adaptive skills by providing more information about its environment. These skills allow the robot to change their manipulator location and the position of its end effector so that it can work around obstructions in its work envelope. The robot 's surroundings, the precision needed, and what must be sensed all help decide what type of sensor must be used for the robot. Depending on these credentials, robots could be equipped with light, optical, sound, or temperature sensors. Light is a form of radiation that makes up a group of frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see. Robots can react to this form of radiation by using light sensors.

He experimented with junctions (simple mechanical connections) made between different conducting materials. He found that if he created a temperature difference between two electrically connected junctions (e.g., heating one of the junctions and cooling the other) the wire connecting the two junctions would cause a compass needle to deflect.

In Peltier effect devices, a temperature difference is created: one junction becomes cooler and one junction becomes hotter. Although Peltier coolers are not as efficient as some other types of cooling devices, they are accurate, easy to control, and easy to adjust. Peltier effect devices are used coolers for microelectronic devices such as microcontrollers and computer CPU.

Tests can be conducted under non–load bearing, load bearing, unrestrained, and restrained conditions. Non–load bearing tests are conducted to determine when the fire will spread to the neighboring compartment. This happens when the heat transfer is high enough to ignite items in the non–fire room. This test can also result in the wall becoming too hot and cracking, creating a path for the fire to travel. The test is measured by the time it takes for cotton waste on the unexposed side to ignite. Unlike the non–load bearing test, the load bearing test is conducted to see how long the structure will withstand before is collapses. A collapse not only creates a path for the fire to travel, but it also affects the safety of anyone that would be inside. The test is conducted while the assembly being tested is under a weighted load, and the test is concluded when the assembly begins to collapse. This test is mainly used for wood. Steel and concrete are tested without weight because they will arch when they near breaking point.

An example of the calibration for one of the thermocouples is shown in Appendix II. LUMPED ANALYSIS To determine if a lumped–parameter analysis could be applied, the Biot numbers for the systems were calculated (shown in Table 1). Table 1: Biot numbers for the aluminum and Plexiglas cylinders. | Bi| Aluminum| 0.07| Plexiglas| 81| Since the Bi value of the aluminum system is less than 0.1, convection from the water to the surface of the cylinder is the rate limiting heat transfer mechanism. Thus, a lumped–parameter analysis can be safely applied. The Plexiglas system, on the other hand, has a Bi &gt;&gt; 0.1, and the rate limiting mechanism is conduction in the cylinder. The temperature–time plot gotten by applying a lumped–parameter analysis (Equation 6) to the Aluminum cylinder was compared to the plot obtained from the thermocouple located closest to center of the cylinder. This thermocouple is chosen for comparison because it is located farthest from the heating source and will have a temperature history that differs most from an ideal lumped system.

SFP have been tasked with carrying out tests on a new fire extinguishant named Agent H3. Due to the findings conducted in 1994 as per the Montreal Protocol (a protocol to the Vienna Convention for the Protection of theOzone Layer), the commonly used fire extinguishing agent Halon 1301 ceased production. Halon 1301 is a CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) gas, which the Montreal Protocol concluded, had a tendency to significantly breakdown the earths ozone layer. The termination of Halon 1301 prompted the need for a CFC free replacement fire extinguishing agent. The replacement extinguishant, Agent H3 was tested by SFP under controlled conditions which simulated a bulk load cargo fire inside a compartment with a volume of 58m3. The effectiveness of Agent H3 was constantly monitored through thermocouples and data loggers. It's efficiency as a fire suppressant was based on two criterion set by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), the temperature acceptance criterion and the maximum time /temp criterion, with the outcome of a lower result being more effective.

  • 43. A Discussion On My Internal Assessment One can easily argue that no single discovery changed the face of the earth more than electricity. We can witness its innumerable uses in our lives on a day–to–day basis, so electricity, particularly its relationship with heat, was always a subject that I found incredibly fascinating. I remember first learning about the topic in my IB Physics course just the past year and regretting that we couldn 't delve deeper into the topic or see the phenomenon in person through any lab work. This is precisely why I decided to take this particular topic as the premise of my internal assessment. A few hours of research revealed that there was far more to the topic at hand than I had previously assumed, but the aspect that most interested me was that of the Seebeck Effect. During this investigation, I hope to gain a thorough understanding of the Seebeck effect and create a homemade thermocouple to see how electrical potential created at a junction of leads (of different metals) varies with temperature. Continuing down this line of thought, I ended up with the following research question; Having an understanding of the Seebeck effect, how will the electrical potential generated at the junction of leads made of different conductive materials vary with temperature, which will be measured by a homemade thermocouple thermometer? The concepts involved will be explained in greater depth in order to ensure that the course of the investigation is precise and comprehensible. Essentially, my ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 44. Thermocouple Variances Finally, an F Test was used to determine if the variances of the two thermocouple measurement sets were different. A one tailed test was used to test if the T–type thermocouple measurements had a variance equal to that of the K–type thermocouple measurements. The null hypothesis is that the two variances are equal. The F–value is 1.93 and the critical F value is 1.61. Because the F–value is larger than the critical F–value, we reject the null hypothesis that the two variances are identical. Thus, the variances of the two sets of temperature measurements are unequal. To asses the precision of a pyrometer relative to a surface attached thermocouple, a silicon wafer was heated to a nominal temperature of 75 В°C on a hotplate and the surface temperature ...

  • 45. Differential Scanning Calorimetry ( Dsc ) Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) E.S.Watson and M.J.Oneil discovered the DSC technique in 1962 and later introduced this in pitburg, at a conference talk on analytic chemistry and applied spectroscopy in 1963. It's a method used to describe the stability of biomolecules such as proteins, and also used to measure the molecule's heat change associated its thermal denaturation when heated. When a protein molecule is placed in solution, an equilibrium is created between its' folded conformations and unfolded conformations. It's also used to measure the heat change resulting from the heat–induced denaturation as well as the enthalpy of change in heat capacity of the molecules thermal denaturation. DSC elucidates factors that contributes in proteins Stability and folding which include; hydrophobic interaction, Conformational enthalpy, the external environment and H–bonding. The data obtained from DSC provides important information on proteins stability during processes of development, multiplication and also in formulation of drug candidates. Macromolecule assembly such as lipids and proteins form defined structures that can undergo thermal distribution, caused from heat being absorbed, which resulted from non– covalent bond redistribution. Method The core of a DSC is composed of 2 cells, which are, the sample and reference cells. Thermocouples (Temperature monitor) are used to monitor and maintain an even distribution of heat between the two cells at a constant ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 46. The Instrument Used For Measure Temperature Is A Thermometer The instrument used to measure temperature is a thermometer. There are many types of thermometers; the most common consist of a closed, graduated glass tube in which a liquid expands or contracts as the temperature increases or decreases. Many different types of thermometers work by detecting changes in the volume or pressure of an enclosed gas or by registering thermoelectric changes in a conductor (such as a thermistor or thermocouple). Galen, a Greek scientist and doctor made the first attempt at measuring temperature. Central idea of the paper : The measurement of body temperature may be helpful for monitoring whether a person is ill, or whether treatment is working. The body temperature is controlled by hypothalamus, a small part of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Fluoroscopic are very sensitive to temperature ranges limited by the properties, signal intensity is weak at low temperatures. In theoretical background OFT, the entire spectral distribution is based on planck's radiation and the Boltzman constant. The elements which help in configuring the blackbody OFT ate an optical signal generator, an optical–signal–transmitting system and an detecting system. This have so many advantages such as high accuracy, intrinsic immunity to the EM inference and long lifetime. The disadvantage is it gives scattering loss to the fiber and optical losses due to the couplers. To some extent, dual band compensation is better to solve this issue but the sensor is sensitive as a single–band system. So, an improved method was proposed by Zhang, Tong inorder to lessen the light path effect and the temperature calibration. Coming to the applications of Blackbody OFTs, it have been proved to be very successful in measuring high temperatures in metals, production of glasses, Boiler burner flames, tube temperatures, and in critical turbine areas. This can be used in all types of furnaces, paper making, food processing, fusion, sputtering, crystal growth processes in semiconductor industry.

They can be used to detect liquid, gases or solids over a wide range of temperatures. Non –contact temperature sensor: Convection and radiation is used in these types of temperature sensors to monitor change in temperature. They can be used to detect gases and liquids that emit radiant energy as heat rises and cold settles to the bottom in convection currents or detect radiant energy being transmitted from an object in the form of infrared radiation. Two basic types of contact or non–contact temperature sensors can be divided into following groups of sensors i.e. electromechanical, resistive and electronic. Thermostat: It is contact type electro–mechanical temperature sensor or switch which basically consists of two different metals such as nickel copper ,tungsten or aluminium etc., that are bonded together through riveting, brazing or welding to form a Bi–metallic strip.

  • 50. Bad Thermocouple It can be really unpleasant to get into the shower and realize that your water heater is no longer producing hot water. Hot water is essential to a pleasant shower and is essential for keeping things clean and sanitary in your home. A bad thermocouple is one of the more common reasons for a gas water heater to stop producing hot water. Check For A Pilot Light The first thing you need to do is check and see if the pilot light on your gas water heater is lit. The pilot light is located near the bottom of your water heater. You should literally see a flame if the pilot light on your gas water heater is working properly. If the pilot light is not lit, and you can't relight it following the steps on your water heater, you are not going to get any hot water. A bad... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It is a sensor that provides information to the gas valve on your gas water heater. It tells the gas valve when and if it should release gas. It also tells it how much gas to release. The thermocouple is attached directly to the gas valve on one end, and the other end is set up to literally feel the heat from the pilot light. This allows the thermocouple to determine who much heat is being produced and how much gas needs to be let out. Replacing The Thermocouple It is easy to replace a thermocouple. First, you are going to want to turn off the gas to your water heater. You should never work on your gas water heater when gas is running to it. Take off the cover that goes over the burner compartment. Then take apart the gas tubes that are attached to the burner assembly. All you need to do now is replace the thermocouple on the burner unit, but it back in place, turn the gas back on and see if you can get the pilot light to work again. The thermocouple basically just needs to be pulled off and the new one inserted in its place.
