COMBUSTION Name : Natashane McCook Assignment #1 Course : Power Plant Engineering Lecture : Mr: E Thorpe Title : Combustion The term complete combustion generally is used in connection with the burning of hydrocarbons. Combustion is the process of burning that occurs when fuel‚ oxygen‚ and heat are simultaneously present. The result of complete combustion is the release of energy‚ carbon dioxide‚ and water vapor. If the hydrocarbon contains sulfur‚ sulfur dioxide also will be present. On the

Ratio of absolute viscosity of the fluid at a given temperature to the absolute viscosity of a standard fluid at 20°c. 7) Define Viscosity index It is an empirical number that indicates the effect of change of temperature on viscosity if a fluid. 8) Define fluidity. It is the reciprocal of viscosity. It is unit is 1/ poise. 9) Define Humidity. It is basically moisture content in air or it is the quantity of

In addition‚ this report also highlights hyponatremia‚ humidity and why should athletes stay euhydrated. Identifying the factors that increase the core body temperature and how athletes can avoid these to stay cool would be the ultimate solution to maximise

Different phenomena occurs with regards to them. Sometimes‚ weather and climate are classified as the same because it has referred to as a change in atmospheric condition. But‚ what is really a WEATHER and a CLIMATE? Weather and

formed (Landsea‚ Pielke‚ & Emanuel‚ 2005). The forecast for Miami‚ Florida‚ on May 2nd‚ 2013 is slightly cloudy with a high of 84 and a low of 74 degrees Fahrenheit ("The Weather Channel"‚ 2013). There is a 10% chance of precipitation and a relative humidity level of 64% ("The Weather Channel"‚ 2013). Topography and climate of Miami have changed severely since the end of the most recent ice age (United States Environmental Protection Agency‚ 2009). The ocean floors are currently scoured with trenches

Evaporation and Transpiration Evaporation and transpiration (evapotranspiration) are components of hydrologic cycle‚ which at principle‚ can be calculated from meteorological observations such as temperature‚ humidity‚ radiation‚ wind speed‚ etc. The process‚ however‚ is quite complex and a substantial literature has been produced on it. In this chapter our focus is mainly on the concept and simple estimations of evaporation and transpiration. Mechanism of evaporation from water surfaces Here

1. There are four eras of Earth’s history they are Precambrian (87.6%)‚ Paleozoic (7.1)%‚ Mesozoic (3.9 %)‚ and Cenozoic (1.4 %) 2. There are four layers and two sub layers. * Inner core is solid metal and made up of nickel and iron * Outer core is made of a liquid molten core of nickel and iron * Mantle is made up of dense and mostly solid silicate rock * Lithosphere is the uppermost layer (100km thick) * Asthenosphere is the layer below the

What is a heat pump? A heat pump is a machine that by reversing its refrigeration cycle can provide heating instead of cooling. Because a heat pump uses a refrigerant it can upgrade the heat in air at even -15ºC to a usable heat source to heat buildings. Difficult to understand perhaps but imagine a domestic fridge or freezer‚ reverse its cycle and that black grille on the back will be very cold whilst inside will be very hot. Heat pumps can extract heat from air and water and are nearly always

The Arctic Circle is located at a latitude of 66 degrees 33 feet 39 inches North. The problem with this statement is the actual latitude of the Arctic Circle is continuously changing due to the tilt of the Earth. It is important to maximize your sample size when developing a predictive model like the height and shoe length model we explored in the Experimental Laboratory 1. What is the purpose of a large sample size? A large sample size provides the scientist with a more accurate representation

Weather= atmospheric conditions at a particular time & place. (Temp‚ pressure‚ humidity‚ cloud cover‚ etc) Climate= the average weather over a long period of time.
