Steam Locomotives were first made in the 18th century. William Murdoch first made a prototype in 1784. An early working model was built by a steam boat pioneer John Fitch. Richard Trevithick (13 April 1771 – 22 April 1833) was a British inventor and mining engineer from Cornwall. Born in the mining heartland of Cornwall‚ Trevithick was immersed in mining and engineering from a young age. The son of a mining captain‚ he performed poorly in school‚ but went on to be an early pioneer in steam-powered

Sterilization by Saturated Steam Mukul Bhatnagar: 21464987 Group Members: Chiew See Hau‚ Daryl Picard‚ Niamh Meagher‚ Musawwir Miriah Introduction Through the course of an entire day‚ an average human will come into contact with millions of different bacterial species. Just as human exposure to these bacterial species is high‚ the utensils we commonly use are subjected to a similar degree of exposure. Generally the temperature required to destroy many species of

8.2.1 (iv) Fractional Distillation of Crude Oil By Blake Turner – Year 11 Fractional Distillation of Crude Oil Introduction Crude oil is the term for "unprocessed" oil‚ the stuff that comes out of the ground. It is also known as petroleum. Crude oil is a fossil fuel‚ meaning that it was made naturally from decaying plants and animals living in ancient seas millions of years ago -- most places you can find crude oil were once sea beds. Crude oils vary in colour‚ from clear to tar-black‚

Earliest steam engine was designed and built by a British inventor‚ Thomas Newcomen which was used in mines to pump water that helped the worker to dig deeper and deeper. Steam engine was later redesigned and improved by James Watt. “James Watt‚ the Scottish mechanical engineer and inventor‚ whose inventions played an important role in Industrial revolution”. His redesign on steam engines was used in many other industrial machines such as steamboats and rail roads. When steam engines were redesigned

Fractional distillation was used in this experiment. This is one of two ways for distillation‚ the other being simple distillation. However‚ with a simple distillation‚ the difference of boiling points between the substances must be more than 40 to 50 degrees C. A fractional distillation column is needed in a fractional distillation. The column in a fractional distillation column provides a temperature gradient where the temperature is lower at the top of the column and the temperature is greater

MAKING PROCESS AND DISTILLING PROCESS Vodka is defined in the United States Standards of Identity as “neutral spirits so distilled‚ or so treated after distillation with charcoal or other materials‚ as to be without distinctive character‚ aroma‚ taste‚ or color.” As Vodka is a neutral spirit‚ it means that it can be obtained by the distillation of any product with fermentable carbohydrates on it‚ like grains (rye‚ corn or wheat) or products like potatoes‚ beets or sugar beets; even grapes. Nowadays

Organic Chemistry I Simple and Fractional Distillation The Simple and Fractional distillation experiment was divided into two parts. We split up the procedure in this experiment. My group did the simple distillation and we received the Fractional distillation from another group in class. In this experiment‚ we examined the effectiveness of fractional and simple distillation to determine which is more successful at extracting a pure sample. This experiment was very successful. We are able to

Distillation Objective: To illustrate the use of distillation for separating a mixture of two volatile liquids with different boiling points. Background: Distillation consists of heating a liquid until it vaporizes‚ and then condensing the vapor and collecting it in a separate container. Distillation is used to separate mixtures of liquids that either have different boiling points‚ or that have one component that does not distill. There are many types of distillation‚ each of which has a distinct
