Oil/ Petrol Research Project In the modern world we use oil every second of the day‚ whether we realise it or not. We use oil to fuel our cars‚ our public transports‚ etc. Without oil our daily lives would be the same. Oil is a natural resource that comes from beneath the earth’s crust; it is trapped in pockets under the earth. Finding oil trapped underground is very complicated and costly‚ it takes millions of dollars to drill a well and only a few are successful. Oil travels upwards from the

Oil Spill Clean-up: Lab Report Description There are various methods for cleaning up oil spills. Some methods allow oil to be recovered‚ whereas others do not. Some methods are more expensive than others‚ some are more efficient than others‚ and some have more of an environmental impact. Regardless of the method used‚ cleaning up oil spilled on water is a very time-consuming and difficult task. In this activity‚ you will model various methods used for cleaning up an oil spill on water. Material

The now purified cooking oil is faster to heat which makes cooking easier‚ faster and more efficient. The purified oil is quite beneficial however it does not take in as much taste as the unpurified ones. Overall the experiment was very successful in terms of finding the positive differences in each type of oils. The vegetable oil was the best product of all

Milikan Oil Drop Experiment Objective To experimentally determine the quantum nature of charge by using the equipment especially designed for this experiment. Theory A spherical drop of oil‚ falling through a viscous medium like air‚ will quickly reach a constant velocity. When it reaches this equilibrium state‚ the viscous force is balanced by other forces acting on the drop‚ such as gravity‚ buoyant forces from the air‚ electrical forces‚ etc. In this experiment an electrical force of varying
