Research Question Investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of respiration of various parts of plants (germinating seeds and dormant (non-germinating) seeds)‚ by measuring the oxygen consumption and change in gas volume of respirometers containing either germinating or non-germinating seeds at different temperatures to measure the rate of respiration of these beans at different temperatures. Hypothesis 1.Germinating seeds have a higher rate of respiration as compared to non-germinating

Effect of various factors like seal balance‚ face pressure‚ temperature and lubrication on performance of seal and probable causes of seal leakage with their corrective action has also been described. Mechanical seals arrest the leak from shaft where it comes out of the casing. They work satisfactorily to seals almost any liquids‚ operate under full vacuum to 80 Bar pressure and temperature from 100 to 840oC. It can handle shaft speeds up to 3600 RPM and special

spherical and elastic particles. Although an ideal gas is a theoretical model and so cannot exist in practice‚ most gases behave fairly similarly to an ideal gas. Gases behave more like an ideal gas when they are at a higher temperature and lower pressure‚ as the potential energy of the intermolecular forces becomes negligible compared to the kinetic energy of the gas. Butane gas does follow the ideal gas law fairly well‚ as it is non-polar and hence has

the balancing of heat energy on Earth. Jet Streams: Earth’s weather is strongly influenced by atmospheric conditioned and events that occur at the boundaries between wind zones. On either side of these imaginary boundaries‚ both surface and upper-level air differs greatly in temperature and pressure. Remember that wind‚ temperature‚ and pressure are related. Differences in temperature and pressure cause wind. Therefore‚ a large temperature gradient in upper-level air should result in strong westerly

The crew saw mud and gas pouring onto the floor of the rig. All the members of the crew instantly attempted to close the valve in the Blowout Preventer‚ which was intended to shut off the flow of high-pressure oil and gas from the well‚ but failed to seal the well because the drill pipe buckled for reasons that are still unknown. The crew could have redirected the flow of the mud and gas away from Deepwater Horizon and into the gulf‚ but instead they directed
