one of the worst disasters to strike the city of Chicago in the form of a heat wave that swept across the Great Plains and the Mid West in July 1995. It represented the affect of the disaster and also the problems faced by the healthcare and public protection authorities in coping up with the situation during and after the disaster. The number of lives lost was estimated to be 522 and 733‚ count given by two sources. The heat wave struck Chicago on 11 July and it left on 16th July leading to an annihilating

Practice Problems Set – 1 MEC301: Heat Transfer Q.1 The slab shown in the figure is embedded on five sides in insulation materials. The sixth side is exposed to an ambient temperature through a heat transfer coefficient. Heat is generated in the slab at the rate of 1.0 kW/m3. The thermal conductivity of the slab is 0.2 W/m-K. (a) Solve for the temperature distribution in the slab‚ noting any assumptions you must make. Be careful to clearly identify the boundary conditions. (b) Evaluate T at the

Separating a Mixture of Compounds Exp. No. 2 name Chemistry 145 February 2‚ 2014 I. Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to separate this mixture into components‚ determine the mass and percentage of each component. In addition to test the accuracy of an alternative method of subtraction to find the mass of the sodium chloride directly. Start with a mixture of sand (SiO2)‚ sodium chloride (NaCl)‚ and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl)‚ and use these separation processes: sublimation filtration

The hypothesis about heat death of the universe Our knowledge of the universe is still negligible‚ and we can not confidently assert that the universe is not under the influence of external forces‚ or may be considered as a thermodynamic system. However‚ it is the concept of heat death was the first step to realize the possible finiteness of the Universe‚ although we do not know when and on what scenario will happen of its destruction. At the present stage of existence (13.72 billion years)‚

situation for thick pipes is‚ however‚ more complex. [pic] The figure shown above represents the condition in a thick walled pipe. The area for heat flow is proportional to the radius – as may be seen‚ the area at the outside wall of the pipe is much greater than the middle. As a result the temperature gradient is inversely proportional to the radius. The heat flow ‘per unit length of pipe’ at any radius r‚ is [pic] cf.

Diffusing Capacity Tests Diffusing capacity test it’s done to measure the lung’s ability to exchange gases through alveolar-capillary membrane by using gas mixture. In this test they assess 3 things to see the efficacy of the lung; 1- Lungs’ surface area with contact diffusing alveoli which is "alveolar volume". 2- Thickness of alveolar-capillary membrane. 3- blood volume available in the pulmonary capillaries. Physiology: In normal lung the gas exchange occur by passive diffusion of the gas via

evidence that help conclude that the mystery mixture ( number 8) is composed of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate the same as mixture six . At first when just observing the dry mixtures‚ it was hard to determine which ones were identical to the mystery mixture. In order to figure out which substances combined to make the mystery mixture‚ another process we followed was adding water to the substances and observing the reaction. Adding water to the mixtures resulted in a chemical reaction. The materials

Compare and contrast the methods used in the rise to and maintenance of power by Hitler and Mussolini Mussolini and Hitler both came to power during the interwar years. Both were fascist Dictators who did not only share similar aspects of ideology but also in the way they accumulated power. This essay will examine the conditions in which both dictators were allowed to emerge and grow and will also consider the differences in particular methods and manipulations used by the two leaders and their
