The Puzzle of Emergence The puzzle of emergence is a very controversial and complex‚ scientific puzzle. This concept of emergence has been a baffling topic that has stumped many scientists and philosophers throughout the past centuries. George Henry Lewis was the first theorist to give wisdom to this puzzle in the late 1800s and so have many other theorists after this puzzle was first proposed. The term emergence can be defined differently in both a scientific or philosophical situation. It comes

Brittany Thomaston December 4‚ 2013 Chemistry 409 Dr. Doba Jackson Thermodynamics within a Heat Engine Physical chemistry can be considered anything that undergoes a physical or chemical change using the underlying concepts of mathematics and physics. According to chemist Gilbert Newton Lewis‚ “Physical chemistry is everything that is interesting” (ACS). When you think about it‚ physical chemistry is all around us in the world we live in today. Some aspects of physical chemistry can even range

Heat: a form of energy Heat In physics and chemistry‚ heat is energy transferred from one body to another by thermal interactions.[1][2] The transfer of energy can occur in a variety of ways‚ among them conduction‚[3] radiation‚[4] and convection. Heat is not a property of a system or body‚ but instead is always associated with a process of some kind‚ and is synonymous with heat flow and heat transfer. Heat flow from hotter to colder systems occurs spontaneously‚ and is always accompanied by an

Velocity— Is speed in a given direction‚ and is also a vector. Acceleration— is the rate of change of velocity in a given direction (velocity/time). The unit in SI is metres per second

Port-Hamiltonian formulation for plasma control in Tokamak reactors Trang VU‚ Laurent LEFEVRE and Bernhard MASCHKE Abstract— A port-Hamiltonian model is derived for tokamak plasma current profile dynamics. Magnetohydrodynamics and energy balance equations are first written in port-Hamiltonian formalism using Stokes-Dirac structures in 3D forms and a specific interconnection structure for the magneto-hydrodynamical coupling. A balance preserving reduction scheme is applied to the 3D models‚ assuming

The fundamental modes of heat transfer are: Conduction or diffusion The transfer of energy between objects that are in physical contact Convection The transfer of energy between an object and its environment‚ due to fluid motion Radiation The transfer of energy to or from a body by means of the emission or absorption of electromagnetic radiation Mass transfer The transfer of energy from one location to another as a side effect of physically moving an object containing that energy Conduction

------------------------------------------------- State of matter From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia States of matter in physics are the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. Four states of matter are observable in everyday life: solid‚ liquid‚ gas‚ and plasma. Further states are possible but do not naturally occur in our environment: Bose–Einstein condensates‚ neutron stars. Other states‚ such as quark-gluon plasmas‚ are believed to be possible.
