from a nuclear reactor is created when water is boiled from a uranium rod and the steam then turns a steam turbine or by pressurizing water. “Nuclear power can come from the fission or uranium‚ plutonium or thorium or the fusion of hydrogen into helium. Today it is almost all uranium. The basic energy fact is that the fission of an atom of uranium produces 10 million times the energy produced by the combustion of an atom of carbon from coal” (Our-Energy). Essentially nuclear energy is a conversion

UNDERWATER WELDING INTRODUCTION The fact that electric arc could operate was known for over a 100 years. The first ever underwater welding was carried out by British Admiralty – Dockyard for sealing leaking ship rivets below the water line. Underwater welding is an important tool for underwater fabrication works. In 1946‚ special waterproof electrodes were developed in Holland by ‘Van der Willingen’. In recent years the number of offshore structures including oil drilling rigs‚ pipelines‚ platforms

Gas Chromatography (GC) Definition: Gas chromatography is a physical method of separation in which the components to be separated are distributed between two phases‚ one being a stationary bed of large surface area‚ and the other a gas that percolates through the stationary bed. When the stationary phase is a solid‚ the separation process is more precisely called gas-solid chromatography. Introduction: Gas Chromatography is a technique widely used to separate complex mixtures of substances. Compounds

------------------------------------------------- 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.

Technology in Practice Part II: Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Background of Technology Before tThe intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) became a successful piece of technology‚ it was first introduced by Harken in 1958 in hopes of treating left heart failure (IABPumpers‚ 2006). Harken thought that by removing a certain amount of blood from both femoral arteries during systole‚ and rapidly replacing it during diastole‚ he could augment the cardiac output and increase coronary perfusion. However

States of matter are the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. Historically‚ the distinction is made based on qualitative differences in bulk properties. Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume but adapts to the shape of its container; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy whatever volume is available. This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions
