Neutron Stars: The ‘Death’ of a Death Star

Introduction: Neutron stars are dense, compact masses of subatomic particles (called ‘fermions’) compressed by great gravitational forces (Reisenegger 1). They are classified into three groups: the radio pulsars, which are rotating neutron stars that are predictable pulsators of radio waves due to its fast (Landau n. p.; Reisenegger 2) although sometimes slow (Fuller, et al. 1) rotation; magnetars, which neutron stars with the strongest magnetic fields in the universe and violently burst high-energy X-ray and gamma rays (Landau n. p.); nonrotating binary neutron stars, which are emitters of x-rays (Reisenegger 3); and PSR ...

Single Pump Calculations

Impeller Diameter (D) 114mm

Venturi inlet diameter (AP) 27.2mm Venturi throat diameter (AT) 18.5mm All calculations done assuming ρ= 1000 kg/m3 1. Graphs for the single pump test Figure 3: Percentage efficiency plotted against the flow rate in litres per second 2. Analysis of single pump graphs The graph in Figure 1 demonstrates an inverse correction that exists between flow rate and the size of the head. According to the curve, the fluid flow exhibits a maximum head (16.20795m) at zero flow (Derakhshan and Ahmad 807). On the other hand, the fluid flow demonstrates a minimum head (4.99490m) at the moment ...

In the realm of physics, every motion in the universe is governed by a multitude of forces. From the smallest subatomic particle to the gigantic astronomical body, each particle follows a universal law of forces that determine how they interact with one another. Understanding how these forces work is essential in understanding how the natural world around us works, and then to subsequently apply that knowledge to develop the human race in general. Some forces are readily observable and felt by people around us; some are not. Three of the most prominent forces affecting our everyday lives are the ...

Pump Application: Building Water Pump

Pumps are devices used to move fluids from one point to another by creating differences in pressure between the two points. Pumps are powered by a prime mover, which can be either a diesel engine or an electric motor. The pump converts the energy supplied by the prime mover to potential energy by pressurizing the fluid it’s pumping. For example, a diesel pump has an engine that converts chemical energy in the fuel to mechanical energy in the form of torque. The torque from the engine is then picked up and transmitted to the pumping mechanism for fluid ...

Modern astronomy

There were four main contributors to modern astronomy: Sir Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, and Tycho Brahe. Brahe advocated for the new standards for having a more precise observation even though he did not personally believe in the view of heliocentric. All of his contributions were huge for astronomy because he was able to create new instruments along with being able to calibrate them. He would check the accuracy of his instruments on a regular basis so it helped him to revolutionize instruments for astronomy. Kepler was an assistant for Brahe until he died in 1601. This helped ...
