Boyle’s Law - Solutions 1) If I have 5.6 liters of gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.5 atm and compress the gas until its volume is 4.8 L‚ what will the new pressure inside the piston be? P1V1 = P2V2 (1.5 atm)(5.6 L) = (x)(4.8 L) x = 1.8 atm 2) I have added 15 L of air to a balloon at sea level (1.0 atm). If I take the balloon with me to Denver‚ where the air pressure is 0.85 atm‚ what will the new volume of the balloon be? P1V1 = P2V2 (1.0 atm)(15 L) = (0.85 atm)(x) x = 18

Introduction to Gas Turbines A turbine is any kind of spinning device that uses the action of a fluid to produce work. Typical fluids are: air‚ wind‚ water‚ steam and helium. Windmills and hydroelectric dams have used turbine action for decades to turn the core of an electrical generator to produce power for both industrial and residential consumption. Simpler turbines are much older‚ with the first known appearance dating to the time of ancient Greece. In the history of energy conversion‚ however

is * Sulfur mustard is a type of chemical warfare agent. These kinds of agents are called vesicants or blistering agents‚ because they cause blistering of the skin and mucous membranes on contact. * Sulfur mustard is also known as “mustard gas or mustard agent‚” or by the military designations H‚ HD‚ and HT. * Sulfur mustard sometimes smells like garlic‚ onions‚ or mustard and sometimes has no odor. It can be a vapor (the gaseous form of a liquid)‚ an oily-textured liquid‚ or a solid

Gas Chromatography Purpose: The purpose of the gas chromatography lab is to find out how different substances interact with the surface of a solid. Chromatography is a separation technique that depends on the relative distribution of the components of a mixture between a mobile phase and a solid stationary phase. Chromatography measures the tendency of a substance to interact with the surface of a solid or to remain in a mobile phase. When doing a chromatography lab the mobile phase has to

Håvard Devold Oil and gas production handbook An introduction to oil and gas production ISBN 978-82-997886-1-8 PREFACE This handbook has been compiled for readers with an interest in the oil and gas production industry. It is an overview of the main processes and equipment. When we searched for a suitable introduction to be used for new engineers‚ I discovered that much of the equipment is described in standards‚ equipment manuals and project documentation. But little material was

ENPE 573 – Unconventional Gas Exploitation Introduction to Shale Gas Classification‚ Formation‚ & Extraction Abstract The production of conventional gas has been declining over the last few years due to dwindling reserves. To counter-act this decline‚ companies are quickly turning to unconventional gas plays that can offer even greater reserves as shown in figure 1. Unfortunately‚ recovering unconventional gas is a very difficult process that requires advanced stimulation and/or

Mains gas is most likely to be piped natural gas. The most serious risk to human health is via a leak‚ however small‚ in the piping system that transports the gas inside the building. Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons‚ including methane. It is colourless and odourless‚ which makes a leak difficult to notice. Exposure to high levels of natural gas quickly causes unconsciousness and even death. Exposure to low levels can cause dizziness‚ nausea or heart palpitations. It has this affect because

Sarin Gas Sarin Gas is one the most deadly and toxic gases that has no color and no scent. The formula for this chemical is C4H10FO2P or a more complicated formula or CH3P(=O)(F)(OCH(CH3)2) . This destructive weapon was innovated as a herbicide during the 193040s which is labeled as a nerve agent. Sarin is capable of causing the fatality of someone or the suffocating of a person by just inhaling a low concentration of Sarin gas. Sarin is considered a chiral molecule since it contains four chemical

Instead you smell a pungent mustard aroma‚ struggling to breath‚ it subsides after a couple of minutes. Without knowing it you have been exposed to a new chemical used by the Germans‚ code named LOST‚ which referred to the last names of the
