Direct energy conversion system Direct energy conversion systems that could operate in the 100-700°C temperature range with high efficiencies (>30%) provide an attractive compact alternative to internal combustion engines for many military applications. They will also expand the possibilities for waste heat recovery applications. The core of the solution we are proposing is a metal/semiconductor nanocomposite that will allow us to modify four intrinsic material properties in order to fabricate

It looked as if a storm was approaching. I was standing at a cross-road traffic junction‚ waiting to cross the road. I have always observed that particular cross-road to be extremely busy‚ with vehicles constantly on the move. I was headed towards the bus stop across the street‚ so I turned in the opposite direction of the cross-road to see if my bus was coming. As I turned back to have a look at the cross-road‚ I saw a flashy yellow sports car trying to beat the red light. Before I knew it‚ I heard

WEAR___________________________________________________ * Wear is a process of removal of material from one or both of two solid surfaces in solid state contact‚ occurring when two solid surfaces are in sliding or rolling motion. * The rate of removal is generally slow‚ but steady and continuous. Figure 1.4 shows the five main categories of wear. Abrasive Wear: * Abrasive wear occurs when material is removed from one surface by another harder material‚ leaving hard particles

Lou Gehrig Baseball Legend Lou Gehrig‚ one of the greatest players of all time‚ struggled to make it in the big leagues. Although he did grow up in a normal family‚ the beginning of his career was rough. As he settled into the MLB‚ his career was one to remember. He really gave New York something to brag about. Towards the end of his career‚ an untimely sickness affected his life in the worst way possible. Lou Gehrig was born in Yorkville‚ Manhattan in 1903. His parents both emigrated from

type of stretching by contracting to protect itself from over extending. Dynamic stretching is a walking or movement stretch. By performing slow controlled movements through full range of motion‚ a person reduces risk of injury. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a type of stretch for a particular muscle and its specific job‚ so resistance should be applied‚ then the muscle should be relaxed. Static stretching is a type of stretch whereby a person stretches the muscle until a gentle
