How can the motion of fluids be described?
How can the motion of fluids be described? There are two ways to describe the fluid motion. One is called Lagrangian, where one follows all fluid particles and describes the variations around each fluid particle along its trajectory. The other is Eulerian, where the variations are described at all fixed stations as a function of […]

Is ammonia heavier than air?
Is ammonia heavier than air? Anhydrous ammonia gas is lighter than air and will rise, so that generally it dissipates and does not settle in low-lying areas. However, in the presence of moisture (such as high relative humidity), the liquefied anhydrous ammonia gas forms vapors that are heavier than air. Do ammonia fumes rise? Most […]
Why does oxygen have a charge?
Why does oxygen have a charge? Oxygen is more electronegative than carbon which attracts the electrons to them usually giving it a negative charge. How will an atom get a charge of +2? A normal atom has a neutral charge with equal numbers of positive and negative particles. Ions are atoms with extra electrons or […]
How does an air powered car work?
How does an air powered car work? For compressed-air cars, the power plant’s electricity is transmitted to a compressor, which mechanically compresses the air into the car’s tank. The car’s engine then converts the compressed air to mechanical energy. What energy does wind have? kinetic energy Is there a car that runs on air? In […]
