around because of the metaphor Dickens is making. Another metaphor you can find is when Dickens has to describe the steam-engine. He does that by using a huge animal like an elephant to make people imagine how enormous the engine is. “(…) and where the piston of the steam-engine worked monotonously up and down‚ like the head of an elephant in a state of melancholy madness” Finally you can conclude that Dickens uses a lot of metaphors and figures of speech to make the reader fells how it is being in

Dozens of factors contributed to the rise of the Industrial Revolution but the inventions are the most important‚ such as the Spinning Jenny‚ the Telephone‚ and the Steam Engine. Before the Spinning Jenny was produced‚ workers would have to spin yarn on a spinning wheel with only one spindle. This was a laborious task and took way too much time. In 1764‚ James Hargreaves invented the Spinning Jenny‚ which allowed workers to spin yarn on eight spindles. The Spinning Jenny rapidly increased the process

The trumpet is constructed of brass tubing bent twice into an oblong shape. The trumpet and trombone share a roughly cylindrical bore which results in a bright‚ loud sound. The bore is actually a complex series of tapers‚ smaller at the mouthpiece receiver and larger just before the flare of the bell begins; careful design of these tapers is critical to the intonation of the instrument. By comparison‚ the cornet and flugelhorn have conical bores and produce a more mellow tone. As with all brass

An engines horsepower‚ in its most condensed definition‚ refers to the amount of horses it would take to perform the same function. At mankind’s present level of dependence on technology such a concept seems absurd‚ but at the beginning of the 17th century the literal equation of horsepower was used daily‚ especially in industry. With wind or water as the only alternative power sources‚ the use of load bearing beasts was inevitable. Wind is inconsistent and unreliable‚ whereas water was only plausible

The writer’s use of imagery also produces a sympathetic effect. "The right hand whipping like a piston rod which has broken through the crankcase‚ or like a baseball bat demolishing a pumpkin." The similes that the writer uses to show how bad the punches make it very hard not to sympathize with Paret. Even when Paret died the writer uses similes to

APPLICATION OF THERMODYNAMICS THERMODYNAMIC OF GASES (ADIABATIC CHANGE) In thermodynamic of gases‚ we can study about the changes to the internal energy of gas and factors affecting the internal energy. Thermodynamic also involves work done and heat supplied or lost by a gas. THERMODYNAMICS The study of temperature‚ heat‚ and related macroscopic properties comprises the branch of physics. Thermodynamics deals with processes which cause energy changes (internal energy) as a result

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 What is thermodynamics? Thermodynamics is the science which has evolved from the original investigations in the 19th century into the nature of “heat.” At the time‚ the leading theory of heat was that it was a type of fluid‚ which could flow from a hot body to a colder one when they were brought into contact. We now know that what was then called “heat” is not a fluid‚ but is actually a form of energy – it is the energy associated with the continual‚ random motion of the
