The hypothesis about heat death of the universe Our knowledge of the universe is still negligible‚ and we can not confidently assert that the universe is not under the influence of external forces‚ or may be considered as a thermodynamic system. However‚ it is the concept of heat death was the first step to realize the possible finiteness of the Universe‚ although we do not know when and on what scenario will happen of its destruction. At the present stage of existence (13.72 billion years)‚

Vocabulary: • Conduction- the passage of energy‚ particularly heat or electricity‚ through something • Rate of Change- the ratio of the difference in values of a variable during a time period to the length of that time period • Calorimeter- an apparatus for measuring the amount of heat given out or taken in during a process such as combustion or change of state. The measurements are often made by observing the amount of solid liquefied‚ or liquid vaporized‚ under set conditions. • Conservation

2015 August Heat Many people say that life is full of remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection‚ some of them are more risky than others. More danger sides of coincidences are shown by William Fryer Harvey‚ the story August Heat shows that how irrational fears are created by one’s mind when they face a horrific coincidence. This story took place in England during summer. The heat at that time is enough to make a person mad. In “August Heat” the use of setting

situation for thick pipes is‚ however‚ more complex. [pic] The figure shown above represents the condition in a thick walled pipe. The area for heat flow is proportional to the radius – as may be seen‚ the area at the outside wall of the pipe is much greater than the middle. As a result the temperature gradient is inversely proportional to the radius. The heat flow ‘per unit length of pipe’ at any radius r‚ is [pic] cf.

Steel and heat treatment MILD STEEL Mild steel is also called plain carbon steel. It is the most common type of steel and it price is pretty low. Its composition is around about 0.05%-0.29% carbon content. Mild steel has a relatively low tensile strength but the surface can be hardened through carburizing. It is mostly used where large amounts of steel needs to be formed eg structural steel MEDIUM CARBON STEEL Medium carbon steel has great wear resistance and is used for forged automotive
