Data and Conclusions: The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to use distillation and gas chromatography to separate and identify different compounds from a given mixture. There are several kinds of distillation methods. However‚ the method that we used in this experiment was fractional distillation. This method is used when trying to separate two different volatile compounds whose boiling points differ by 40-50°C or more. If the boiling points are too close‚ this method

What happens when oil does peak? by Joel Bainerman Peak oil is often referred to as "Hubberts Peak"‚ a geophysicist who observed that oil well production followed a bell curve. According to the mainstream‚ convention view‚ peak oil is set to occur around 2006-2008. When peak oil occurs‚ production will decline approximately 3% per year at a time where global demand is increasing at 3% per year. What will all this mean for you and me- the average folk? Which industries will suffer the most- and

experience of the soldiers was beyond anything that had ever been faced before. A soldier who was attacked by poison gas says that “It seemed as if [his] lungs were gradually shutting up and [his] heart pounded away in [his] ears like the beat of a drum. On looking at the chap next to [him‚ he] felt sick‚ for green stuff was oozing from the side of his mouth.” (Pressey‚ “Poisonous Gas”). After getting attacked‚ this soldier isn’t only poisoned physically‚ but is poisoned mentally as he looks at the

GAS DYNAMICS AND JET PROPULSION 1. What is the basic difference between compressible and incompressible fluid flow? Compressible 1. Fluid velocities are appreciable compared with the velocity of sound 2. Density is not constant 3. Compressibility factor is greater than one. 2. Write the steady flow energy equation for an adiabatic flow of air. In an adiabatic flow q = 0. Therefore energy equation becomes. 2 c12 c2 h1 + + gZ1 = h2 + + gZ 2 + Ws 2 2 Incompressible 1.

Introduction A gas is the state of matter that is characterized by having neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume. Gases exert pressure‚ are compressible‚ have low densities and diffuse rapidly when mixed with other gases. On a microscopic level‚ the molecules (or atoms) in a gas are separated by large distances and are in constant‚ random motion. When dealing with gases‚ the Ideal Gas Law equation is the most famous equation used to relate all the factors in dealing and solving the problem

• Natural gas is an odorless‚ colorless‚ flammable gas. It is non-toxic and lighter than air. • The gas chiefly consists of methane (CH4)‚ but also contains other hydrocarbons such as ethane‚ butane‚ propane and naphtha. Oil and gas deposits in the North Sea were formed millions of years ago through the decomposition and transformation of organic matter (plant and animal remains). In its primary form‚ natural gas can be used for residential heating and cooking‚ for industrial purposes

Arizona Gas Pipeline On July 30‚ 2003 an Arizona gas pipeline owned and operated by the Houston‚ Texas based company‚ Kinder Morgan Energy Partners‚ burst in Tucson and was shut down. A small portion of the 11-mile pipeline‚ which is about five feet underground burst and at least 10‚000 gallons of gasoline spilled; the pipeline rupture spewed gasoline 50 feet into the air. The Arizona gas pipeline cuts through Tucson’s South and West sides en route from El Paso‚ Texas to Phoenix‚ Arizona and

Arterial blood gases are only done in the very sick children‚ who have been intubated/ventilated and have arterial lines in situ (usually in the theatre prior to transfer to the PICU in Newcastle. Here is a stepwise approach to blood gas analysis. STEP 1: [pic] STEP 2: Look at pCO2 [pic] STEP 3: Look at Bicarbonate & Base excess (BE) [pic] Base excess (BE): Base excess is the amount mmol/l of base that is needed to correct pH back to normal when pCO2 is corrected
