Why the actual thermal efficiency is always less than the Carnot efficiency? So if all the heat input was converted to useful work, the engine would have an efficiency of one (100% efficient). Thus, the efficiency is always less than one. Carnot showed that the maximum efficiency of a heat engine depends only on the […]
What is the process for scheduling a project?
What is the process for scheduling a project? Project scheduling involves creating a document, these days usually a digital document, that details the project timeline and the organizational resources required to complete each task. The project schedule must be accessible to every team member. What is meant by scheduling in project management? Scheduling in project […]
What would happen if you spotted too much sample on the TLC plate?
What happens to excess energy from solar panels?
What happens to excess energy from solar panels? If your solar panels are producing more electricity than you need, the excess energy goes towards charging the battery. Later, when your solar panels aren’t producing electricity, you can draw down the energy you stored earlier in your battery for night use. What is the energy generated […]
What was the Egyptian water clock used for?
What was the Egyptian water clock used for? Clepsydra, also called water clock, ancient device for measuring time by the gradual flow of water. One form, used by the North American Indians and some African peoples, consisted of a small boat or floating vessel that shipped water through a hole until it sank. What was […]
What is the proximate analysis of coal?
What is the proximate analysis of coal? Summary. The proximate analysis of coal separates the products into four groups: (1) moisture, (2) volatile matter, consisting of gases and vapors driven off during pyrolysis, (3) fixed carbon, the nonvolatile fraction of coal, and (4) ash, the inorganic residue remaining after combustion. What are the parameters of […]
How do you calculate net worth of assets and liabilities?
How do you calculate net worth of assets and liabilities? Your net worth, quite simply, is the dollar amount of your assets minus all your debts. You can calculate your net worth by subtracting your liabilities (debts) from your assets. If your assets exceed your liabilities, you will have a positive net worth. What is […]
How do you know when to use the ideal gas law?
How do you determine if a set is Orthonormal?
How do you determine if a set is Orthonormal? Definition. A set of vectors S is orthonormal if every vector in S has magnitude 1 and the set of vectors are mutually orthogonal. The set of vectors { u1, u2, u3} is orthonormal. Proposition An orthogonal set of non-zero vectors is linearly independent. What is […]
How thermoplastic is manufactured?
How thermoplastic is manufactured? Thermoplastic sheets are manufactured from raw materials, including polymer resins, colorants, and additives, depending on the specific formulation required. Once the raw materials are blended, they are heated, pressed through an extrusion die, and drawn into a sheet through a set of rollers. What are the different processing techniques available in […]
