Figure 3. Possible reaction mechanism for the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate. Based on the findings from all of the used techniques, the species formed in the beginning are ammonium ion, oxygen and chlorine species. The decomposition products of ammonium ion were hydroxylamine, ammonia and nitrogen dioxide. The perchlorate ion loses one of the oxygen atoms and forms chlorate ion. The ammonia is lost in reaction through formation of hydroxylamine, which is formed in reaction between…

Engineering is the branch of science and technology involved with the design, and building, and use of engines, machines, and structures. As long as I can remember, which was since I was seven years old, I had always felt a passion for doing something in designing and building imaginary cars, ships, and planes. But now that I have come to an age where I have to choose a career and go forth in life will be tough, but one thing is for sure, I will be an Engineer. The first engineering career that…

In eight weeks between junior and senior year of high school, my personal, social, and professional life drastically changed. I became the pilot of a Cessna 152. In February of 2015, I applied for, and won the Upwind Summer Scholarship. This program granted four, high preforming, high school juniors a chance to live their dreams. Upwind paid for and provided flight training, advanced ground school topics, materials, and life skills to young aviators, and my soon to be three closest friends. I am…

Pull Out Quote: " Buying hybrid and all-electric vehicles has become a growing trend and more people are buying these types of cars than ever before." Article Summary: The BMW i3 with optional range extender was built with luxury and sophistication in mind. The look and feel of this futuristic all-electric car in conjunction with its smart features, elevated driving dynamics, reasonable price, and appealing green features make the BMW i3 a strong contender in this class of EV vehicles.

Dirt bike or motocross racing is an extremely competitive sport that has been enjoyed by masses of people across the globe. Millions of people have either watched or are very passionate about dirt bike racing. This is a sport that has been around for over one hundred years when the idea first came about in the U.K. motorcycle trial competitions in the early 1900’s ("Motocross"). As the sport grew in popularity, many improvements were made including: the terrain of the tracks, motorcycle…

iv. Increased enzymatic capacities for substrate catabolism v. Higher degree of clustering of subsarcolemmal mitochondria adjacent to capillaries-> higher O2 flux rates vi. Mitochondrial volume densities and surface areas per unit mitochondrial volume are near maximum theoretical limits in hummingbirds and higher than mammals-> achieved due to higher oxygen delivery capacities and substrate catabolism (Suarez et al. 1991) 5. Metabolic Substrate Turnover a. Questions i. Do hummingbirds…

the basis for the kinetic theory of gases, applied the idea of Boyle’s law, worked on elasticity with Leonhard Euler, the development of the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation, and one of the most important Bernoulli’s Principle which is critical to aerodynamics. At the beginning of Daniel’s life he wasn’t allowed to choose what he wanted to be or be able to pursue the career he wanted, but this shaped the way his life would be later on in the future. With his success in life his father would grow…

have evolved to camouflage themselves with respect to both color and shape. The flounder live flat on the sea-bed, with two protruding eyes bulging out. The shape of the hammerhead is still…well…debated. The intimidating flat face could be for the aerodynamics of the sea, or an outdated, evolutionary trait. The Bull Shark The bull shark has kept me from swimming in rivers from an early age. It’s more aggressive than the Great White, and it can swim up aqueducts for miles. It is known for its…

I am doing my science fair project on “What golf ball travels the furthest”. I decided to do my project on this because there are so many brands of golf balls out there and i was curious to see if all the balls were the same or different. I will be testing some of the top brand golf balls to see which golf ball bounces and travels the furthest. Golf is a game of the Scottish origin, and is one of the most popular sports in the world. Golf has been played by over 24 million people. Golf has…

glass and sheet metal distanced itself from the flat and square shapes of the previous generation. The 65 models now took on more of the rounded Coke bottle styling popular in the mid-60s. They laid the front windshield back to provide a more aerodynamic look. The rear glass took on more of a fastback design. Even the quarter windows and rear vent glass took on a more rounded shape, enhancing the pillar less design. Chevrolet now offered 14 different exterior paint colors and the choice of…
