Essays on Liquids

We have all been taught how every object and thing around us is made up of matter and that matter exists in three very basic states which are the solids, the liquids, and the gasses. Even within these solids, liquids and gasses are particles, and it is simply the arrangement of these particles which makes any matter form one of the three states. It is also because the major difference between the three states is how the particles behave around one another which make the transition possible in between one state of matter and the next. In simple words, ...

Therefore, the paper entails an analysis of each group of distillation columns, taking into account their ability to carry out their duties, as well as the reason ...

A porous item is a surface that contains openings that allow for the absorption of liquids to go through the material. One of the typical examples of porous materials is raw wood as it can absorb liquids or fingerprints oils especially if it is not varnished. Chemical development can be done through fingerprint processing of natural wood that is from a physical developer. Fingerprints can be developed through chemical processes of a silver based reagents that prints are produced, and they become gray colored (Trozzi 2001). In a crime scene, you can get wood outdoors, and this can also ...

Q1. A 200mm diameter pipeline divides into two smaller pipelines, one being 100mm in diameter and the other being 150mm in diameter. If the velocity in the 100mm pipe is 0.3m/s and that in the 150mm is 0.6m/s, calculate the flowrate in litres/s and the velocity in m/s in the 200mm pipe. [ 13 l/s, 0.413m/s] Solution: Flow Rate = (pi/4)(0.1)2(0.3) + (pi/4)(0.15)2(0.6) = 0.01296 cubicmeters/sec = 12.96 l/sec. (ans.). Velocity = (Flow Rate)/(Area) = [0.01296]/[(pi/4)(0.1)2] = 0.4125 m/s. Q2. If the specific volume of water is 0.001251 m3 /kg. calculate:

Vaping vs. Tobacco

Introduction Vaping vs. Tobacco

The financial issue is one of the major areas that are highly debated when discussing vaping and tobacco. Various states have large tracks of a tobacco plantation and that the amount of tobacco sold forms more substantial portion of the country's revenue. Smoking is known to create tremendous wealth, majorly for the government, which has been the leading cause of all conflict of interest. Government revenue is, to a greater percentage, connected to cigarette sales. Tobacco forms a larger part of revenue for huge transnational industries, which results to external factors having a strong influence ...

In the recent years practically in all corners of the world terrorist activity that is intended to become a global threat has dramatically increased.

Question one

The country with the highest industry margin is the USA, which gets 60.6% from every litter of oil, followed by Canada and Japan, which acquire 53.5% and 47.9% per litter respectively. On the other hand, the countries with the lowest industry margin are Italy and the UK which in every litter, they get 29.0% and 29.7% respectively (OPEC statistics Data/Graphs). The high prices of oil in the UK, Germany, and Italy, will most likely lower consumers’ demand for the product since as the price per litter goes up, the quantity of oil demanded decreases. In addition, individuals’ investment in ...

Chemistry examines major ways of how matter is classified and described, this includes the principle of the composition of elements, compounds, and mixtures (Saint-Jalmes 836). Principle of the physical state includes gas, liquid, and solids. Gas, liquid, and solids are generally referred to as observable properties of matter, hence known as states of matter. A gas has no constant volume and shape while in liquid volume depends on the shape of the container they are placed in ("Macromolecular Organic Matter Working Group Report" 39-50). Solids have defined volume and shape. Gases have large intermolecular spacing than the liquids, and ...

Fire systems are designed for different services such as to warn people of fires, to stop fires, to create a safe environment for people in a fire among other reasons. The installation of these system depends on the buildings and occupants or the kind of materials in the buildings such as flammable liquids or electronic devices. The selection of these systems should meet the set standards by the different fire-related organisations. The following is a look at some of the fire and prevention systems.

The Sphinx of Egypt, the Sistine Chapel and the life-size sculpted representations of David or the Ancient Grecian Gods are all examples of great artistic achievements that have withstood the test of time. When the average person thinks of the arts, be it paintings, architecture or sculpture they are more interested in the object or work created than what it is made from. People see the Mona Lisa, not necessarily the paints used, the canvas it is painted upon or the nature of the brush strokes. When the average spectator sees the Notredame Cathedral in France, people are awed ...

Description of the best fire detection equipment to be installed in the Electrical Switchgear Room, Flammable Liquids Room and the Office. The best fire detection system to be installed in the Electrical Switchgear Room is the photoelectric smoke detector (FM Global, 2). This is because cables which are necessary in the Electrical Switchgear Room are mostly insulated with combustible materials which would invariably generate smoke as they burn in the event of a fire (FM Global 1). This type of smoke from such smoldering fires (characteristic of burning plastic/insulating) according to the NFPA can most effectively be detected by ...

Cabbage white butterfly is also known as Pieris rapae. These species are flower visitors. They use tubular proboscis to acquire liquids. It consists of “two medially concave, elongated maxillary galeae joined dorsally and ventrally by cuticular projections, termed “legulae,” forming a food canal” (Lehnert et al. 167). Each legula has upper and lower branches. The organ is twisted into a spiral in a quiescent state. Butterfly’s head has a special pump that creates a pressure to move liquid through the food canal to the gut. P. rapae’s average forewing length is about 49.6 mm, while its proboscis’ ...
