Why do we need thermodynamic relations? We want to develop relationships to relate the changes in the fundamental and derived properties in terms of the measured properties that are directly accessible from laboratory measurements. These properties arrive from the first and second law of thermodynamics. What do you understand by thermodynamic equilibrium of a system? […]

What causes the thrill of roller coasters?
What causes the thrill of roller coasters? Engineers generate thrill through acceleration—basically changing riders’ velocity in highly engineered, unnatural ways. Coaster engineers call upon Newton’s laws of motion to get riders to feel the combined forces of gravity and acceleration, which produces an exciting, unusual body feel. Do roller coasters give you adrenaline? Every summer, […]
What caused the development of the cell theory?
What caused the development of the cell theory? The invention of the microscope led to the discovery of the cell by Hooke. While looking at cork, Hooke observed box-shaped structures, which he called “cells” as they reminded him of the cells, or rooms, in monasteries. This discovery led to the development of the classical cell […]
How does solid waste affect human health?
How does solid waste affect human health? Exposure to hazardous waste can affect human health, children being more vulnerable to these pollutants. In fact, direct exposure can lead to diseases through chemical exposure as the release of chemical waste into the environment leads to chemical poisoning. What is hazardous waste in healthcare? Healthcare waste can […]
What are the types of hydraulic turbines?
What are the types of hydraulic turbines? There are two main types of hydro turbines: impulse and reaction. The type of hydropower turbine selected for a project is based on the height of standing water—referred to as “head”—and the flow, or volume of water, at the site. Other deciding factors include how deep the turbine […]
What will replace Object-Oriented Programming?
What will replace Object-Oriented Programming? Some examples of popular fp languages are Erlang, Scala, F#, Haskell and Lisp (among others). There are no paradigms currently that can genuinely replace OOP. In niche or academic worlds, you’ll find a lot of Functional Programming. However, if you really want to do a large project, OOP is the […]
What is a polymer definition?
What is a polymer definition? Polymer, any of a class of natural or synthetic substances composed of very large molecules, called macromolecules, that are multiples of simpler chemical units called monomers. Polymers make up many of the materials in living organisms, including, for example, proteins, cellulose, and nucleic acids. Which polymers are thermoset? Thermoset polymer […]

What is a pitot-static tube used for?
What is a pitot-static tube used for? Basically, a pitot tube is used in wind tunnel experiments and on airplanes to measure flow speed. It’s a slender tube that has two holes on it. The front hole is placed in the airstream to measure what’s called the stagnation pressure. The side hole measures the static […]
