San Francisco‚ California has cooler summers but warmer winter as opposed to Saint Louis‚ Missouri. There are many things that affect this situation such as California being closer to water‚ Air Temperature/water temperature is cooler‚ and the water temperature is 27°. First‚ California is closer to the water. This results in cooler summers and warmer winters because there is a smaller temperature change in water rather than soil when it is exposed to heat. Saint Louis isn’t near any large body of

In Isaac Asimov’s “The Last Question”‚ the problem of entropy and its effect on humanity is addressed but never has a solution. Time simply starts over again when the universe has died off. The exploitation of one thermal resource after another never turns out to be sustainable in terms of entropy. The question arises of what the point of sustainability of resources is when faced with the ultimate combustion of the universe. Furthermore‚ how would any of the characters in “The Last Question” know

The rate of entropy production is 0.08945 kW/K for R-22‚ 0.06403 kW/K for Ammonia and 0.10359 kW/K for R-134A. The closer the rate of entropy production is to zero‚ the more the process is closer to being irreversible‚ as with Ammonia in this case. This is desirable as there is not much entropy or energy lost during the compression of the fluid between state 1 and state 2. To be able to calculate the

Determining the Molar Mass of an Unknown Solute by Freezing Point Depression Introduction: Colligative properties of solutions are only influenced by the concentration of solute particles and are independent of the nature of the solute. Some examples of colligative properties are boiling point elevation‚ vapor pressure lowering‚ and freezing point lowering (depression) (Brown‚ 542). For a substance to freeze‚ the kinetic energy of the particles must be low enough for the

How to Create a Decision Tree Edited by Madhva_madhu‚ Leona 0 Article EditDiscuss A decision tree is a kind of flowchart -- a graphical representation of the process for making a decision or a series of decisions. Businesses use them to determine company policy‚ sometimes simply for choosing what policy is‚ other times as a published tool for their employees. Individuals can use decision trees to help them make difficult decisions by reducing them to a series of simpler‚ or less emotionally

The broader objective is to study thermodynamics‚ a study of energy and its interconversion. Three main quantities of thermodynamic — enthalpy‚ entropy‚ and Gibbs free energy — was investigated for process of dissolving various ionic compounds in water. Calorimetry lab was conducted using 3 different ionic solids‚ CaCl2‚ Na2CO3‚ and NaCl‚ to calculate heat (symbolized as q) of reaction when these
