Natural Gas Diesel Fuel
733 wordsWe have known for a long time that eventually our oil deposits will dry up, and it would be helpful at that time if we had some kind of alternative fuel to power all of the machines that we use. Over the past two decades more oil has been pumped than has been found in the world. For this reason scientists have been looking to potential alternative fuels for the future. One of these alternative fuels may come in the form of natural gas. Natural gas has been found to be more plentiful than oil, an...

Harmful Chemicals Carbon Dioxide
1,009 words... would dissolve the polymers in the fuel of current automobile engines, but there is a way around this problem by hydrogenating the ketones to their corresponding alcohols. This hydrogen could be generated from natural gas or other renewable resources. Another significant advantage of fuels derived from waste biomass is that they are a way to control global warming caused by the combustion of fossil fuels. The carbon dioxide released from the combustion of biomass is balanced through photosyn...

The Effect Of Temperature On Air Pressure
1,303 wordsDESCRIPTION: My project consists of a series experiments to determine the effect of air pressure in a given environment at various temperatures. The experiments I chose to conduct are: 1) Heat an ordinary pop can on a hot plate and then putting the can upside down in cold water to see the effect of a fast change in temperature. 2) Partially full milk jug with hot water, put the cap on tightly, and let it sit for one hour to see the effect of a slow change in temperature. 3) Setting a small piece...

Room Temperature High Temperatures
688 wordsSilicon is one of mans most useful elements. In the form of sand and clay it is used to make concrete and brick; it is a useful refractory material for high-temperature work, and in the form of silicates it is used in making enamels, pottery, etc. Silica, as sand, is a principal ingredient of glass, one of the most inexpensive of materials with excellent mechanical, optical, thermal and electrical properties. Hyperpure silicon can be doped with boron, gallium, phosphorus, or arsenic to produce s...

1,746 wordsDiamagnetic's was discovered by Michael Faraday in 1846, but no one at the time thought that it could lead to any appreciable effects. William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), referring to levitation as the problem of 'Mohamed's coffin, ' had this to say: 'It will orally be impossible ever to observe this phenomenon, on account of the difficulty of getting a magnet strong enough, and a diamagnetic substance sufficiently light, as the [magnetic] forces are excessively feeble. ' Fields strong enough to lift...

Dependent Variables Room Temperature
581 wordsExperimental Science In this research we are going to give the narrative of a scientific experiment in order to get some insights on how the scientists do their job. We are going to conduct one scientific experiment in order to have the idea of the experimental science in the way it is done by the masters of the subject. For our experiment we take: a clear (transparent) drinking glass; a room thermometer (usually measures degrees from less than 0 degrees F to more than 100 degrees F); glasses wi...

Amount Of Energy Oxygen Atoms
1,983 wordsPlanning In this investigation I will be burning alcohols to heat up a beaker of water. I will be burning five alcohols, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and pentanol. The aim is to find out how much energy is produced when burning these alcohols. An alcohol is a series of organic homologous compounds, with the general formula Cn H n + 1 OH´ . Alcohols react with oxygen in the air to form water and carbon dioxide. The reaction that is involved in burning alcohols is exothermic because ...

Bunsen Burner Degrees Celsius
1,031 wordsAim: Dunder Experiments Experiment 1. Aim: To find the PH of Dunder. Materials: -Crucible -Filtrated Dunder -Universal Indicator -Eyedropper Method: A small amount of filtrated Dunder is placed in the Crucible. A few drops of Universal Indicator are then dropped onto the Dunder with the Eyedropper. The mixture will then change to colour corresponding to the Dunder's PH. Results: In this Experiment the PH of the Dunder came up as 4. This showed that Dunder is considerably acidic. Experiment 2. Ai...

Municipal Solid Waste Carbon Dioxide
2,028 wordsThe Presidential Green Chemistry Awards-Dr. Mark Holtzapple In 1996, Mark Holtzapple of Texas A&# 038; M University received the Academic Award for the Green Chemistry challenge. This award was given to him for the development of a family of technologies that converts waste biomass into animal feed and industrial chemicals and fuels by adding lime to a fermentation process. This waste biomass includes municipal solid waste, sewage sludge, manure, and agricultural residues. As we all know all of ...

Amount Of Energy Magnetic Fields
1,648 wordsWeve all heard Untitled INTRODUCTION Weve all heard about superconductivity. But, do we all know what it is? How it works and what are its uses? To start talking about superconductivity, we must try to understand the how " normal" conductivity works. This will make it much easier to understand how the " super" part functions. In the following paragraphs, I will explain how superconductivity works, some of the current problems and some examples of its uses. CONDUCTIVITY Conduc...
