The development of the steam engine by George Stephenson in the late 1700’s was the technological breakthrough that led to the industrial revolution. For the first time in human history transportation could be provided without the use of domesticated animals. Steam engines were used in steam locomotives‚ steam tractors and steam ships (B.Nebel and R.Wright 1995). Stationary steam engines were rapidly established in all the major industries. The major fuel for steam engines was firewood. By

used. The catalyst is usually concentrated sulphuric acid. This experiment covered 4 techniques; they are distillation‚ refluxing‚ extraction‚ and esterification. Firstly‚ esterification and refluxing‚ the acid and alcohol are first warmed and mixed together with the sulphuric acid catalyst then attached it to a reflux condenser for a period of time. Then extraction‚ chloroform was added in to the mixture as organic solvent‚ causing it to form 2 layers. The ester solution layer was then extracted

I. RESEARCH BACKGROUND Insect repellents help to prevent and control the outbreaks of insect-borne diseases such as malaria‚ Lyme disease‚ dengue fever‚ and bubonic plaque. Actions to reduce vector- borne diseases can result in major health gains and relieve an important constraint on development in poor regions. Insect repellents are important to the public health tools for the prevention of vector-borne infectious diseases. Technically‚ an insect repellent is any chemical or natural‚ that
