overall purpose of the experiment is to observe the change of pressure as three different gases; N2‚ He‚ and an unknown gas effuses through a pinhole into a vacuum environment. Each gas has a different pattern of changing the pressure depending on its molecular mass‚ which is related to the kinetic theory of gases‚ where heavier gases (N2) effuse slower than lighter gases (He). The experiment setup was prepared‚ measurement of change of pressure as a function of time were recorded. After performing two

Introduction Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are dynamically self-organized and self-configured‚ with the nodes in the network automatically establishing an ad hoc network and maintaining the mesh connectivity. WMNs are comprised of two types of nodes: mesh routers and mesh clients. Other than the routing capability for gateway/bridge functions as in a conventional wireless router‚ a mesh router contains additional routing functions to support mesh networking.
