uses two types of fuel‚ carbohydrates‚ and fatty acids. At the beginning of exercise the main source of fuel is carbohydrates‚ however the duration of the exercise progresses the carbohydrates deplete and fatty acids are needed to maintain the exercise. The type of fuel being used can be seen in the ratio called‚ respiratory exchange rate‚ or RER. An RER of 0.7 means that carbohydrates are being used for fuel‚ and a ratio of 1.0 means that only fatty acids are being used for fuel; of course‚ values

Hydrogen has a high specific energy‚ high flame speed‚ wide range of flammability‚ and clean burning characteristics which suggest a possibility of high performance in internal combustion engines (ICE). These attributes have been realized for more than half a century since the onset of hydrogen engine development. In the early 1990s‚ FSEC conducted research on using hydrogen in an ICE. This work resulted in the development of a mixed fuel called HYTEST. Today‚ automobile manufacturers and DOE continue

extremely important that we find a low-cost‚ carbon-neutral fuel. American chemist Dr. Daniel Nocera has devoted his career to finding this alternative energy source using photosynthesis as his inspiration. Photosynthesis‚ the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy stored in the bonds of glucose‚ is arguably one of the most important chemical reactions on earth. The maintenance of life on earth‚ our food‚ oxygen‚ and fossil fuels depend upon photosynthesis. In this process water and carbon

the capacitor current iC is proportional to the time rate of change of the voltage across the capacitor: Where C is the proportionality constant and is known as capacitance. (b) Inductor Inductor is an electrical passive device for storing energy in the form of magnetic field. In its simplest from‚ It consists basically consists of a wire loop or coil. The inductance is directly proportional to the number of turns in the coil. Inductance also depends on the radius of the coil and on the type

EXPERIMENT NO. 1 INTRODUCTION TO LAB INSTRUMENTS. 1. BREADBOARD We should be familiar to the following things about a breadboard: * What is a breadboard and what is it used for? * How does it work? * Setting Up. * Limitations. What is a breadboard and what is it used for? A breadboard (or protoboard) is usually a construction base for prototyping of electronics. The term "breadboard" is commonly used to refer to a solderless breadboard (plugboard). It was designed by

Introduction Laboratory (Lab) reports are the most frequent document written by engineering student. These reports can contribute a significant amount of marks and yet little time or attention is devoted in understanding on how to write them well. The aim of this document is to provide a general guideline on writing a lab report. A lab report should not be

Fossil Fuels which include Petroleum and Natural Gas were formed million years ago from the remains of plants and animals‚ are responsible 40% and 20% respectively for the world ’s energy. They were first discovered about 700-900 years ago‚ however since the first modern petroleum industry began in 1859‚ the demand for fossil fuels has escalated beyond our control. It had taken 50-300 million years to form‚ and yet we have managed to burn roughly half of all global oil reserves in merely 125 years

Enzyme lab report. Introduction. An enzyme is a protein molecule that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions by many folds. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change thus can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy also known as an energy barrier is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. Catecholase catalyzes the reaction rate of catechol oxidation. Catechol is found beneath the skin of many plants such

Enzyme Lab Report Introduction The objective of this experiment was to determine if changes in pH or temperature affected the activity of enzymes‚ specifically the enzyme sucrase. Enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts to increase the speed of the reaction or to lower the activation energy of that reaction. However‚ the activity of an enzyme can be affected by physical factors such as pH and temperature because these factors alter the structure of the enzyme (Freeman‚ 2011)
