Exploration; to travel in a little-known region for discovery‚ as defined by Webster. Since the age of the Greeks‚ Anglo-Saxons have been interested in space exploration. From Copernicus to Gaileo to Newton‚ space has been looked upon with adoring eyes. Space has been regarded time after time as the final frontier. That was until 1957‚ with the launch of the Sputnik-1‚ when the Soviet built satellite became the first man-made satellite successfully launched out into outer space. In 1958‚ the United

Before the Industrial Revolution began‚ European imperialism’s second phase hadn’t begun yet‚ the first phase that being the Age of Exploration (1500-1700). At the time China was sovereign‚ and pretty much most of India‚ as well as Japan. By the mid XIX century European economies were thoroughly industrialized and needed more coal and steel to keep up production‚ as well as other raw materials to sustain an industrial society. Hence‚ when they naturally expanded‚ this technological superiority was

EXPERIMENT 1: ISENTROPIC EXPANSION PROCESS Objectives: 1) To demonstrate the isentropic expansion process. Introduction: In thermodynamics‚ an isentropic process is a process in which the process takes place from initiation to completion without an increase or decrease in the entropy of the system. One example of a process that approaches being isentropic are the rapid depressurization of gas in a cylinder. The entropy of the system remains in constant. Entropy is a type of energy

Linear Thermal Expansion The term thermal expansion refers to the increase in size of an object as that object is heated. With relatively few exceptions‚ all objects expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled. Perhaps the most important exception to this rule is water. Water contracts as it cools from its boiling point to about 39.2°F (4°C). At that point‚ it begins to expand as it cools further to its freezing point. This unusual effect explains the fact that ice is less dense
