Methods of Heat Transfer

Conduction
The first method through which heat is transferred from one object to another is conduction. Conduction occurs in liquids and solids through transfer of kinetic energy present in one particle to the immediate particle(s) in its surrounding. By considering the bonds existing between atoms and molecules in solids as elastic links, the vibration of one particle due to increase energy level caused by heat, the next in its line vibrate too. This process is replicated in adjacent particles thereby allowing transfer of thermal energy from a body with a higher temperature as compared to the one with low ...

Introduction

Disaster management persistently poses greater challenges to organization in a global perspective. The degree of the existing level of preparedness to counteract such hazardous events has remained an unanswered question in every hospital. The major challenge here is inability of hospitals to install a proactive strategy at workplaces but opt to being reactive. The vital concept that many hospitals fail to appreciate is the significance of a disaster plan. Many dissenting argument have hence cropped up on what to be spent in the process of establishing a disaster planning (Kramer, 2009). In essence, hospitals have continuously suffered major setbacks during disaster occurrence.

Earthquakes are vibrations of the Earth that are caused by the rupture and sudden movement of rocks along faults or breaks within the earth's crust. The elastic-rebound theory is a model used to explain the origin of earthquakes. It illustrates the buildup of elastic strain from stresses within the earth's crust and the abrupt release of energy along faults as the rocks return or rebound to their initial state (Ristau 249; Hamblin and Christiansen 510). The point within the Earth where the earthquake's energy is generated by the initial slippage or movement is called the focus. The epicenter is the ...

Effects of catastrophes have become widespread and more frequent today, hence difficult to preserve the safety and security of society. The government-centered approach aimed at managing the risks associated with the catastrophes cannot fully meet the challenges posed by catastrophic events. Currently, the government is affected by the changing realities that limit its capabilities, hence making it difficult for the government to improve the nation’s resilience. According to FEMA, substantial access and service gaps exist in even small and medium-sized disasters, which the government is effective at managing. Government resources and capabilities become overwhelmed when catastrophes are large-scale. ...

Introduction

Natural disasters are bound to happen in any region of the country or continent. Such occurrences mostly result in very catastrophic damages to lives and property. They can derail the economic development of any country as they rob off the necessary resources needed for development (Quarantelli, 1988). Although there is nothing that can be done to prevent these occurrences, a country can do something to reduce the negative impacts of natural disasters. Any country must be ready to prepare for any natural disaster. Resources required before, during and after any natural incident need to be readily available to compact these ...

Concrete is the most economical building material that can withstand high compressive strength, but cannot exhibit sufficient tensile forces. On the other hand, steel is considered a good building material in the context of tensile strength. It can withstand tensile strength much more than concrete. A properly designed concrete building structure hold increased strength and ductility even in areas prone to seismic conditions. The performance of buildings during an earthquake depends mainly on design instead of the material used in the process of construction. In conducting comparison between concrete and steel buildings, on can find benefits in both types of ...

English bay beaches

Since there is no curvey wave line on the shoreline, we concluded that there are no big waves. The waves present were characteristic of a combination of both transverse and longitudinal motions. When we stood at the beaches and watched the waves, we guessed that the water moved towards the shore. However, after careful examination, we discovered that water was not piling up on the beach. When we watched carefully at some debris on the water, we noticed that a crest of a wave moved it towards the shore, but it moved back the same distance with the wave’s trough.

Physics practical report: determining the range of a radiation and the energy content

Introduction
Most of the radiations emitted by sources usually emanate from radioactive isotopes. These isotopes may be naturally radioactive or the emission may be induced by an external source of energy. Natural isotopes are mainly elements whose atomic mass exceeds 208. For this reason, the atomic size is very large creating an aspect of imbalance in charge within the atom. The highly positively charged nucleus does not feel the same magnitude of negative charge effect from the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. This makes the nucleus to disintegrate naturally to release some energy as it scales down the ...

There are very low chances for a flood of more magnitude than that of 1990 to occur. The probability of occurrence of the 1990 flood was 0.06. This indicates that probability of occurrence of the flood in the year was substantially low. 6/100 is a substantially low frequency. This means that, probability of occurrence of a greater flooding than this is insignificantly low because it is less than six percent, hence, it is negligible. A flood of a greater magnitude than that of 1990 is unexpected; this is an important point to consider in determining what prevention measures are worth implementing in the ...

Abstract

Electrons of an atom exist in well defined energy levels which can jump to higher energy levels on absorbing thermal or electrical energy. The atomic absorption is subsequently followed by emission of light radiation. The wavelength of this emitted radiation is distinct and characteristic of every atom. With the help of a spectrometer the wavelength of these electromagnetic radiations can be visualized and measured. The emission lines in all other series for the atom can then be calculated using the Balmer-Rydberg equation. This establishes an inter-connection between the electronic transitions and the corresponding wavelengths which can be depicted in the ...
