To investigate the relationship between surface area : volume ratio and heat loss. INTRODUCTION: The aim of this experiment is to investigate and find the relationship between heat loss (of water) and surface area to volume ratio of animals. To investigate this‚ we are going to use three flasks of different volume (as the equivalent the animals) and thus different surface areas filled with water. BACKGROUND: Surface Area : Volume Ratios We will be using the following formula for calculating

levels from June until September‚ and air conditioning is needed to keep temperatures comfortable indoors. Michigan residents have to deal with extreme heat in the summer and extreme cold in the winter. Many visitors from other states are unaware of how hot Michigan can get in the summer. Air Conditioners Are a Necessity in Michigan A fan will not suffice on hot sunny days. Fortunately‚ many homes in the Wolverine state are equipped with air conditioning. When an air conditioner malfunctions‚ the unit

Cross Flow Heat Exchanger Experiment By Andres Rodriguez Abstract The design project of the group was to create an experiment for Thermo/Fluids Laboratory. The experiment will help aide the students in relating pressure drop and heat transfer in a cross flow heat exchanger. The experiment consists of three cross flow heat exchangers (bare inline‚ bare staggered‚ and finned staggered) that will cool hot water with current fan in the Laboratory. Optimal flow rates‚ pressure and temperature

electrical air conditioning was inverted by Willis Havilland Carrier in July 17‚1902 at Buffalo‚ NewYork‚ just one year after he graduated from Cornell university with a masters in engineering. In 1928‚WillisHavilland Carrierimproved and developed the residential air conditioner for private home used which call “weather make”. Air conditioner‚ namely AC or air-con consists of 4 types of systems‚ which are window air conditioner‚split air conditioner ‚ packaged air conditioner ‚ central air conditioning

Calorimetry Experiment Purpose: The objective of this lab is to determine the enthalpy change for NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) NaCl (aq) + H2O(l) Procedure: Before measuring the enthalpy of acid base neutralization‚ my partner Brian and I determined a calorimeter constant‚ using a homemade polystyrene calorimeter. With the following formula and data: qhot= cm (Tf-Ti) qcold=cm(Tf-Ti) SYSTEM DATA SURROUNDINGS DATA Water cold Mass: 50mL Water hot Mass: 50mL C=4.18 C=4.18 Ti=20 C Ti=31

Design of Waste Heat Boiler 1.00 Introduction: It is a High Pressure & High Temperature exchanger to transfer heat from synthesis gas of Ammonia and generate high pressure steam from boiler feed water. Such exchangers are being designed as per International Codes viz. ASME Section VIII‚ Div-2 an American code or AD Markbleter a German code. Since it is generating steam on shell side‚ the shell is also to be designed as per IBR (Indian Boiler Regulation) code. In India and other foreign

Introduction In this experiment I aim to find out if caffeine has an effect on the heart rate of daphnia. Daphnia are water fleas that have a sort of heart that we can see in magnification. We can count the number of heart beats in a minute of a regular daphnia and try and get a new one with the same specifications as the old one that may have died. It is also a good idea to get a new one as we want to see how much it affects it from ordinary instead of adding the caffeine one after another

Specific Heat Lab Report “Here are the facts we confront; No one is against conservation. No one is against alternative fuel sources.” – J. D. Hayworth Research Question: Does the number of hydrocarbons that a fuel is composed of affect how much it will ignite? If so‚ consider the following: What is the quantity and concentration of the combustion that is released and how can that be measured in other (more coherent) means? These are the fuels that were seasoned throughout the

react in various ways when exposed to heat. The amount of energy necessary to heat a certain amount of water by one degree is different than that of another liquid or substance. The technical term used to determine this characteristic is called heat capacity or specific heat capacity. The purpose of this experiment is to find the heat capacity of water‚ orange juice‚ and olive oil. A couple of very specific equipment is needed in order to complete this experiment‚ such as: a calorimeter‚ a multimeter

of purified water again. Due to the people of the United States drinking billions of gallons of water daily‚ the amount of purified water we drink is starting to run out which is causing a problem already. Psychological studies have shown humans still don’t accept water being reused even after knowing the water is purified and perfectly clean. Advocates are still against ultraviolet machines being used to clean and purify water. While some people believe that drinking recycled water is both repulsive
