    heat of water is 4.184 J/g(oC), and the temperature change of water from calculation #7. (10 points) Mass of water: 74.8g Specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g(oC) Change in temp. of water: 1°C Q = 74.8 * 1 * 4.184 = 312.96 J/g(oC) 11. Use the equation: q = m(SH)ΔT to solve for the specific heat of the metal. For q, you found how much heat was gained by the water so you know that same amount of heat was lost by the metal. Therefore, qmetal = -qwater. The mass of the sample was recorded from

    Firefighters are subjected to significant levels of physical exertion, exposure to higher tempera-ture environments, and smoke during the firefighting activities. The physical exertion includes the ability to carry heavy loads, for example oxygen tanks, removal of fallen building structures, rescue of a victim, etc. To be able to work in such inhospitable environments, firefighters wear a protective suit, which shields them from the high temperatures. However, the protective suit re-stricts the

    accuracy experimentally calculated coefficients. Additionally, the overall heat transfer coefficient for the double pipe exchangers will be provided by the literature data, and this will allow for equation 8 to be solved for the area of the double pipe heat exchanger. The area of heat transfer in Equation 8 varies depending upon the type of heat exchanger being used. To calculate the area for the shell-and-tube heat exchanger

    introduced the novel concept of the electron-acoustic (EA) mode during numerical solutions of the linear electrostatic Vlasov dispersion equation in an unmagnetized, homogenous plasma. Electron acoustic waves (EAWs) are high frequency electrostatic waves in comparison with the ion plasma frequency. These waves can exist in two temperature electron plasmas with cold and hot electrons in the presence of a steady background of ions which guarantee the overall neutrality condition.

    molecules. Chemiluminescence the emission of light in a chemical reaction which makes this substance glow a liquid blue when mixed with an oxidizing agent . In the reaction chemiluminescence does not exhibit significant amounts of heat giving off “cold light” via chemical reaction. Chemiluminescence is commonly found in deep oceans where many organisms have glowing organs the same reaction is found in glow sticks and fireflies. Oxidizing agents are a substance that brings out oxidation by reducing

    using the primitive equations, and then the difference between the short-term and climate forecasts will be distinguished. Numerical Weather Prediction model uses the primitive equations to predict future weather based on the present weather conditions. There are five different primitive equations that are being used to predict the weather, Wind forecast equation, it is the equation of motion that explains the movement of air masses in the atmosphere, the continuity equation deals with the rising

    them squared. The equation is as follows, g=G m_ /r^ where g is the acceleration of gravity, G is the gravitational constant which is 6.673 x 〖10〗^(-11) N〖(m/kg)〗^2, m_1 is the first mass and r is the distance between the masses. We measure the force of gravity of Europa by using m_1 as the mass of Europa, and r is the radius of Europa. Using the equation, g=6.673 x 〖10〗^(-11) N〖(m/kg)〗^2* ((4.8 x 〖10〗^22

    absorbed by greenhouse gasses which radiates the energy to create heat. Greenhouse gasses have been on this planet since it was formed, they keep life on Earth living. Without greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere the Earths temperature would be to cold for life to live on (climate kelpie 2016©). The greenhouse effect is a process that naturally warms the Earths surface. It makes the Earths climate warm enough for life to live on. The enhanced greenhouse effect is produced by humans, most of the

    high temperature affect one’s metabolism; in this lab specially the experiment was based on the effects of crickets when placed in cold and room temperature. Metabolism is a process where energy and materials are changed in an organism and it exchanges the organism and its environment. Endotherms use metabolic energy in order to sustain a constant body temperature. In cold atmosphere, endotherms usually make more heat by increasing their metabolic rate. On
