ABSTRACT COOKSON‚ EDWARD JAMES. Development of the Metal Foam Electrical Resistance Heater. (Under the Direction of Dr. Albert Shih.) This thesis presents a novel concept using a radial heating element made from porous Fe-Cr-Al metal foam in an air heater. Electrical resistance heating has been used extensively to convert the electrical energy into thermal energy. An analytic heat transfer model is first developed to estimate dimensions of the heating element. Four prototype Fe-Cr-Al metal

Throughout her quest‚ Funder uncovers several stories of courage in the face of such oppression‚ both in acts of resistance and in sustained displays of resilience‚ however these acts are individual and ineffectual in toppling the regime. Despite these brave individuals’ fortitude‚

the time it takes for the parachute to fall also increases. This is because the air resistance is larger‚ therefore the drag is increased. So the speed of the parachute decreases. This is because the forces (air resistance and gravity) are unbalanced. The change in air resistance is important because the larger the surface area of the canopy‚ the more air particles it is ‘hitting’; therefore the air resistance is bigger. Variables: In our investigation‚ the variable that we

The Red River Rebellion 1869 The Canadian government had bought Rupert’s Land from the Hudson Bay company. In addition‚ appointed the first English-speaking governor: William McDougall. McDougall had sent out surveyors to plot the land according to the square township system that was used in Ontario. The Metis‚ led by Louis Riel‚ prevented anti-French McDougall‚ to enter the territory when the unannounced surveyors had interfered. The Hudson Bay company was no longer in control of the territory

This is so a minimum of air resistance or drag affects the dragster with lower drag better acceleration an in turn a better top speed can be achieved all leading to a better pass (race time). <br> <br>Now lets try to understand the concept of air resistance and drag. A basic example is placing your hand out the window with your palm facing forwards as you are driving your car along at about sixty kilometres per hour. You will feel a strong force of the wind (air resistance) pushing back at your hand

Causes of antimicrobial drug resistance Microbes‚ such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi‚ and parasites‚ are living organisms that evolve over time. Their primary function is to reproduce‚ thrive‚ and spread quickly and efficiently. Therefore‚ microbes adapt to their environments and change in ways that ensure their survival. If something stops their ability to grow‚ such as an antimicrobial‚ genetic changes can occur that enable the microbe to survive. There are several ways this happens. Natural (Biological)

or we hear it at school‚ resistance it seems to be happening more and more these days. Most of the resistance that I have seen‚ watched‚ or heard about lately has been centered around our new President‚ Donald Trump. Most of these protest or resistance to laws or resistance to change or even resistance to changing the laws‚ there have been no in-between on sides or passion. We have either seen peaceful resistance or an all outright very violent and destructive resistance. Both sides‚ peaceful &
