that this message is intended to read‚ “cross the Mississippi‚” as in the Mississippi River.

EXPERIMENT 1: ISENTROPIC EXPANSION PROCESS Objectives: 1) To demonstrate the isentropic expansion process. Introduction: In thermodynamics‚ an isentropic process is a process in which the process takes place from initiation to completion without an increase or decrease in the entropy of the system. One example of a process that approaches being isentropic are the rapid depressurization of gas in a cylinder. The entropy of the system remains in constant. Entropy is a type of energy

Linear Thermal Expansion The term thermal expansion refers to the increase in size of an object as that object is heated. With relatively few exceptions‚ all objects expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled. Perhaps the most important exception to this rule is water. Water contracts as it cools from its boiling point to about 39.2°F (4°C). At that point‚ it begins to expand as it cools further to its freezing point. This unusual effect explains the fact that ice is less dense
