GASEOUS DISCHARGE LAMPS: A gaseous discharge lamp is essentially a glass or quartz envelop containing two electrodes and a small quantity of gas or vapour at a low pressure. In these lamps light is obtained by applying an electric potential difference to a gas or vapour contained by the lamp under a suitable pressure. Due to application of electric potential difference gas gets ionised and an electric current flows; the tube is filled with a luminous discharge. The light spectrum

Thermite Background: Thermite is a powder made from aluminum powder and a metal oxide [usually iron oxide (Fe2O3‚ known as rust)]. The thermite reaction is a redox reaction‚ where Aluminum reduces the oxide of another metal. For example‚ when using iron oxide (as I did) the equation would be Fe2O3(s) + 2 Al(s) -> Al2O3(s) + 2 Fe(l). Black or blue iron oxide (Fe3O4) could also be used. Other examples of possible oxides are manganese thermite (MnO2)‚ Cr2O3‚ and copper thermite (CuO). Aluminum can

Ihtisham-ul-haq Gillani Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS Bandar Seri Iskandar 31750 Tronoh Perak Darul Ridzuan ABSTRACT In this new era‚ energy conservation is the main concern. Thermal comfort is the condition of mind that expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment. Unnecessary air condition of heating for thermal comfort is one of the reasons for excessive consumption of energy. Researchers have come up with ways to measure the comfort level in order to avoid over consumption of energy used

Electrical conductivity One to five percent of the caffeine molecule dissociates in water‚ proving that the compound is a weak electrolyte. A substance that completely dissociates in a solution‚ such as water‚ is considered an electrolyte and can therefore conduct electricity. This dissociation is caused by the atoms’ minimal nuclear charge‚ allowing the substance to break apart entirely into its ions. Ions are mobile‚ which induces a current and contributes to the substance’s high electrical conductivity

Thermal hydraulics analysis of supercritical water reactor core design Jianguo Zhong‚ Michael Podowski Abstract: This paper started with a literature survey of development the supercritical flow reactor core design‚ various coolant flow path designs were discussed: conventional one-pass flow arrangement‚ two-pass and the three-pass coolant flow geometry. A simple 1-D model was developed for the one-pass and two-pass flow design to find the maximum flow bulk temperature and case temperature in

Inkjet Printers Inkjet Printers Inkjet printers are non-impact printers which print text and images by spraying tiny droplets of liquid ink onto paper. They are the most popular printers for home use. Currently‚ most inkjet printers use either thermal inkjet or piezoelectric inkjet technology. Thermal inkjet printer uses heating element to heat liquid ink to form vapor bubble‚ which forces

of these reactions may also evolve gases at high rates‚ and could cause reactor over-pressure. Thermal runaway reaction Runaway reactions are thermally unstable reactions where the heat of reaction can raise the temperature of the reactants sufficiently to accelerate the reaction rate out of control. The temperature at which the runaway starts is often termed the onset temperature. A reaction thermal runaway begins when the heat produced by the reaction exceeds the heat removed. The temperature
