Introduction Graphene is considered as pure carbon in the form of a very thin, one atom thick nearly transparent sheet. It is very strong for its low weight (100 times more stronger than steel and it conducts heat and electricity efficiently. While scientists had theorized about graphene for decades, it was first produced in the lab in 2003. Because it is virtually two-dimensional, it interacts oddly with light and with other materials. Researchers have identified the, ballistic transport of…

The issue : Global warming (Benzene 2C6H6) Figure (1) Different ways to create carbon and how it affects the environment. Combustion (O2) is a process that involves benzene. 2 C6H6(l) + 15 O2(g) ---> 12 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g) Benzene is used as a fuel for cars, it has some problem with the environment. As seen in Figure (1) and the balanced equation that the process of making Benzene makes lots of carbon (gas) which damages the environment because it makes “greenhouse gases” trapped in the…

Asbestos has played a pivotal role in the construction, electrical and automotive industries for many decades due to its excellent thermal and abrasive properties (Brandt 2008). The term asbestos comes from ancient Greek word meaning "inextinguishable". According to Hart (1988), the use of asbestos dates back to prehistoric times where asbestos fibers were woven into a fabric and used as wicks in oil lamps. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral which is mined from the earth’s crust. It…

Civilizations Effect on Climate Change The Earth is the only known planet with the ability to sustain life. For millions of years Earth has been home to billions of various life forms and has offered a plethora of resources for each unique species. Human civilization, however, has been slowly exhausting these resources. The human footprint and its impact on the Earth has become an increasingly important issue in recent years due to the ever-increasing temperatures of the planet. This constant…

Lake View School Name Institution Lake View School On March 4th the year 1908, the American Society mourned the lives of 172 students and two teachers who were trapped in by the fire that occurred at around nine o’clock in Lake View School. The fire was said to have escalated as a result of uncovered cables in the boiler room. The uncovered wires were exposed to woods which led to the fire outbreak in the basement of the school building. The fire incident led to the formulation of new…

1. Introduction Oxy Acetylene welding is one of many kinds of welding. The fundamental process is to joint two parts of metal becoming one part by a high temperature. The thermal flame is created by using the mixing of oxygen and acetylene gas (anthonycastronovo, nd) 2. Compatible materials are used for oxy acetylene welding: - Mild steel Aluminum, stainless steel, copper and brass. However these things are suitable for brazing process (anthonycastronovo, nd) 3. Before the welding procedure…

The Life of the God Hephaestus I, Hephaestus, am the skilled and powerful god of the forge. I am the flame in every blacksmith’s shop, the crude anvil upon which heated metal is beaten, and the fiery spirit in each craftsman’s heart. I make up the engine of industry and warfare, yet also embody the creation of ornaments and jewelry for beautification. My purpose is to assist the workers of Greece and to inspire the making of new inventions and automations. I am not very similar to many of…

Two benefits of nuclear fission technology for society are that significantly fewer amounts of greenhouses gases are being released into the atmosphere, compared to fossil fuels. This results in a slowed rate of pollution and global warming. Another benefit is that power created through nuclear fission is immense and is able to meet the demands of large and industrial cities as well as the suburban towns too. Also the energy is quick to create too, which means that immense amount of energy can…

Welding is the most common way to join two or more pieces of metal together. There are many types of welding like explosion welding, shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding. Explosion welding and that’s when you take gunpowder and two pieces of metal. Then you ignite it and it goes kaboom and then the two metals combine to make a weld and that’s how explosion welding is done. I have always found explosion welding very fun and cool because of all the things that go into it. I have…

The Lava Beds National Monument, I believe would be a great place for students to learn about nature. Located on the border of California and Oregon, the lonely road leads to something amazing. To something some may consider as California's "best kept secret." The Lava Beds National Monument, is one of the most visited national monuments in America. It attracts only one hundred thirty thousand visitors each year but the "secret" underground caves and volcanic rock of the park is full of…
