as Phase Diagrams By _________________ _________________ Material Science Lab #11 Report Introduction The purpose of this lab is to obtain the cooling curves for tin‚ lead and various alloys of these two metals. A phase diagram will be generated from these cooling curves. When a material is heated by adding energy at a constant rate‚ the temperature of the material will increase linearly with time‚ provided a phase transformation does not occur. As temperature of the sample becomes

Green Architecture Green architecture is an approach to building which has become more popular in the last 25 to 30 years. Also known as sustainable design‚ green architecture is a method of design that minimizes the impact of building on the environment. Once thought of as unconventional and nonstandard‚ both regulatory agencies and the public alike are quickly accepting green architecture as a socially responsible and logical means of construction.
